to get and stay back you have to get dead money....(assuming he has it)

Who is he in your sentence, me or the guy I replied to? Because And Stay Back, Shotgun Surgeon, and Hunting Shotgun+ is a killer combo. I took out all Legion in Cottonwood Cove and the Fort with the Hunting Shotgun+ and the perks.

my favourite perk is jury rigger. repairing anti material rifles with varmint rifles sounds pretty good to me :disguise:

my most worthless perk is run and gun, if something gets close enough to me that i have to run backwards, its probably close enough for me not to miss.

I think people expect Miss Fortune to kill a single target outright (like Mysterious Stranger), but she actually does something pretty different.

When Miss Fortune shoots a target, it casts an AoE on that target that can also hit a lot of other nearby hostiles. The effects range from knockdown to crippled limbs to blowing up explosives or Flamers in the hands of enemies. As such she's more useful against groups of enemies than single foes. She'll screw up a whole pack of Vipers with one appearance.

Indeed, can also make for some loltastic screenshots like http://tangentgirls.com/gallery/d/13841-1/enb2011_2_9_18_25_59.jpg


Best: Pack Rat in my latest run is awesome.
Worst: Never used Retention, or Swift learner. Even though in the originals I always got Swift learner and comprehension ASAP. You level too quickly in the latest games for them to be viable.

The explorer perk makes finding new places impossible. They are on the map. Already found for you.

Not really. It's useful for armor but that's it. Weapon repair kits are very easy to make with 50 repair. I can fix all my guns up to new quite cheaply. As you can use comprehension and a fix book to get 50 very early on it's useful the whole game.

Robotics Expert is useless in New Vegas. There are robots where, exactly?

Terrifying Presence, its skill requirement is 70 speech, and if you have 70 speech, then Terrifying Presence is kind of sort of kinda useless

but still awesome

Best- Finesse/ Better criticals

Worst- Swift learner/ here and now

for me jury rigging :intergalactic:

and the worst "here and now" so useless :shakehead:

Don't know about best or worst, but Super Slam combined with Bloody Mess is pretty comical.

Hard to pick a favorite, but there are a few that I nearly always use. Commando, for instance, since a rifle is always my primary distance weapon. I also like Slayer for up close and personal work. Pair this perk with high Unarmed and a Ballistic Fist, and you are death incarnate. Action Boy and Grim Reaper's Sprint are also favorites, despite being noticably weaker since F3. And I disagree about Entomologist, those freaking Cazadores are a nightmare, and anything that will allow you to kill them more efficiently is a good thing.

I don't see much use in Lady Killer or Cherchez la Femme, since most enemies are male. I never use Cannibal or Ghastly Scavenger, they're just too creepy and a Sunset Sasparilla wuill restore HP far less disgustingly than ingesting a corpse (and without risk of attack). And the Infiltrator and Computer Whiz are a waste. Finally, I rarely use chems so I rarely get addicted, but even if I did, reversing addiction is only 100 caps or so, so no need to waste a perk on Chem resistant.

Best: gunslinger (with project Nevada mod). I love my pistols/revolvers
Worst: swift learner and here and now. For previously stated reasons

Must haves for me:

Comprehension, Travel Light, Finesse, Better Criticals, Chemist, Laser Commander

Travel Light is probably my favorite. You spend so much time running around, that running quicker is a blessing.


Most useless:

All the progression and skill point enhancing perks:

Swift Learner, Here and Now, Tag!

I've never reached the level cap in New Vegas actually, so i have taken Here and Now once or twice :blush:

Should proably add some of the enemy/location adding mods sometime soon...

Since it's useful for armor, it's not exactly useless. Also, just because you don't find something useful doesn't mean everybody else feels the same way.



For me:

Most: Friend of the Night
Least: Here and Now

Just try doing some more quests...

it dose not show up all locations like caves and gold mines and other things

Useless: In shining armour, very silly
Favourite: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Piercing_Strike ohhh maaan is this thing helpful.

Best: Solar powered & Jury rigged, get better during the day and repair things with other things.

Worst: Explorer, thought it was a good idea but actually takes all the surprises out of exploring + it covers your PB map with undiscovered locations.

I did not say it was useless. I was just pointing out 'jury rigging' is not as powerful a perk as some think.

That may be useful to some people, who don't want to spend 40 repair points on a moderately useful perk.

Another perk I just don't get is "Terrifying Presence". Aside from getting Jean-Baptiste to leave Cass alone, does it really do anything?

FONV and FO3:

Best: Educated

Hard to beat +2 skill points/level for utility and versatility, regardless of play style or character type.

Worst: Computer Whiz/Infiltrator

Totally useless, unless you are Quick Save impaired.

I would agree with that. I always have a ton of weapon repair kits, so it is not that great. Useful for armor, but that is about it.

For me the most worthless is computer wiz/infilator. Since I use a mod that skips those crappy minigames.
