Post » Fri Nov 18, 2011 12:28 pm

Stregnth- 7
Perception- 3
Endurance- 6 ( I used to be proud of my cardio, I'm a footballer, but sadly, I've become a fat footballer of the years. Who ate all the Pies? I did.)
Charm- 7
Intelligence- 6 ( this was hard to do, I'm really dumb at certain things. But there are times when I feel like the smarest guy in the world.)
Agility- 5 ( Again, I used to be a footballer. Damn, Dominos, had to go and start making good pizza. )
Luck- 3 ( But with the ladies? 3 and half. )

Okay, let's see.
Based on Vito-o-Matic tester descriptions, rather than just guessing the numbers.

STR - 4 "Lightweight"
PER - 4 "Unsuspecting Trout"
END - 5 "Stain-Resistant"
CHA - 7* "Diplomat"
INT - 7 "Smartypants"
AGI - 4 "Butter fingers"
LUK - 0 (don't believe in luck, fate or any related mumbo jumbo)


* I am quite a diplomat, having to solve dangerous, possibly very violent situations on a daily basis, and sometimes have to talk one down from beating the [censored] out of me. Years of practice has made me a very persuasive person, and one hell of a liar.

STR-7
PER-6(with "4 eyes")
END-7 (can take some serious beatings after some years in Japan's International Karate Center and being a Black Belt, not a running type though)
CHA-3 (I stutter rarely, mumble sometimes, and I usually speak about scientifical things, not really charismatic there)
INT-7 (planning things ahead to the point where I make accurate time predictions which become true .-. Plus adapting to things on the fly is pretty intelligent, or perspective?)
AGI-3
LUK-2

so yeah, not so bad for your average 'Big Daddy' tank-like dude.

Traits:
Trigger Discipline

Going with Vit-o-Matic Vigor Tester I would say:

S - 4 "Lightweight"
P - 4 "Unsuspecting Trout" +1 With Four Eyes
E - 7 "Tough-as-nails"
C - 6 "Cheery Salesman"
I - 5 "Knowledgeable"
A - 5 "Under Control"
L - 8 "Leprechaun's Foot"

I actually got it pretty much the same, I know myself so well :twirl:

If I were in the Mojave, I'd have a tough time finding weapons I could use properly. I'd probably travel with Veronica and just let her be my personal bodyguard while I try to solve problems diplomatically.

Ah, a curious expansion to the question: how would I fare in the game world?


I would do rather well with weapons. I've received some training with recoilless rifles and sniper rifles (bolt action), extensive pistol training, extensive usage one of the best assault rifles in the world, urban combat tactics, limited combat medicine training and so on. The government spent a lot of money in me, thanks to being in a semi-elite unit.

If I actually could have any companion tag along with me, I'd go with Boone as he is the only trained soldier and trained soldiers have longer life expectancy than your average militia like Cass. Raul would do fine too, as he is a gold mine of natural talent. Not sure about Veronica, as if we are talking about a realistic setting she would die pretty quickly.


Suggestion: limit the "my SPECIAL" stats to include only the amount of points you can use in the beginning of the game, to add some balance.

Lovely.

although I wouldn't do as well as you when it comes to combat, I am pretty great when it comes to a Hunting rifle and pistols. However, my Survival skills would probably be up in the 50's or 60's, seeing as my studies of wildlife and plants prove to be extremely useful. Energy Weapons would be a bit low, seeing as reloading would be not a problem, however, cleaning it and maintaining it would result quite a bit of rifles breaking before finally fixing one to its maximum effectiveness.
Companions? meh, Boone, Raul, or Veronica with power armor on and Two-Step Goodbye. all 3 of these companions will do well with me since my heavy stature would be great with something as the Minigun or LMG.

other then that, I rather have true companions like right here ^_^

would be extremely awesome to hang out with all of us in the game-world of the Mohave, cooking at a campfire of BigHorner steaks for us while Pistolero would keep watch a bit while tell us some stories of his elite days, and longknife talking about situations before us.

S: 3 "Doughy Baby" I'm not particularly strong, as I haven't seen a need to be.
P: 5 "Wary Trout" I tend to see things coming after they are relatively obvious.
E: 4 "Handle with care" I'm not exactly tough, but neither am I usually in a position where I would need to be.
C: 7 "Diplomat" If there's one thing I can do, it's stop people from fighting each other. I am often in a position where I am the intermediary between groups.
I: 8 "Know-it-all" Everyone I run into tells me I'm smart, and I suppose I am. I have no patience for intellectual discipline, though.
A: 5 "Under Control" I'm not particularly fast or graceful, but I'm decent at most types of ballroom dance.
L: 8 "Leprechaun's Foot" I believe in outside forces such as luck & god, and I have to admit my situation is much better than it could be, and usually in ways that are not under my control.

Traits: Trigger Discipline, Four Eyes. When things get crazy, I get calmer, not mad or rash. I also need glasses.

How I would fare in the game world: Honestly? I'd do terrible. Derived statistics don't matter when I haven't shot a gun or raised my hand in anger in my life, and when I have a curious predilection against beating or stabbing people. I'd probably use the starting 9mm Pistol and Sunny's Varmint Rifle and stay as far away as possible from anything dangerous. As far as companions go, I'd grab a capable warrior (Boone, Raul) & ED-E as soon as possible. Minnows need to have friends who are sharks. StealthBoys would probably be my best friend, and I'd keep at least one with me everywhere I went.

Before I even began to debate what would be best for the Mojave, I'd try to get ins on the Followers of the Apocalypse and the NCR and try to learn in the vein of the Guns & Medicine skills.

Ultimately, assuming I lived to Hoover Dam, the only way I could beat the game is to talk Legate Lanius down.

S........2
P.........3
E........2
C.........8
I..........9
A.........8
L.........8

My STR and END are low due to illness... once atrophied to the point where I could not lift my arms over my head or walk 100 feet.
Low PER because I am nearsighted, get tunnel-vision easily, and can not multi-task for crap.
CHA is rather high because I have never had any trouble swaying people's opinions my way and many beautiful ladies have called me 'tall, dark, and handsome'
INT is up high even though I have low speech skills (vocabulary svcks and I blame the crappy American school system for that :P ) I can easily understand concepts.
I have good hand-eye coordination and move fluidly I scored AGI accordingly.
LUCK is the ever elusive attribute but whenever I try new things I almost always have a strong dose of 'beginner's luck'.

I thought we were all doing that. :cryvaultboy:

My stats again before I explain them:

S - 2
P - 5
E - 6
C - 8
I - 8
A - 5
L - 6


2 STR because I'm not particularly strong, upper-body wise. To top it off, I have one leg, and trust me, you may be able to lift 50 lbs with muscle alone, but if you've only got half the lower-body support you would have if you had two legs or if you were simply sitting down, it feels more like you can only lift 25 lbs.
Perception 5 because I don't consider myself particularly perceptive or not. I notice things others do not and friends say I have good eyes, but I don't have exceptional vision, am slightly colorblind (only very very slightly) and there's nothing special about my hearing either.
Endurance 6 because while I don't get the crap beaten out of me every day or something, I HAVE had a lot of surgery. And I'm allergic to morphine. You'd be amazed how dramatically your pain tolerance increases if you spend 6 months in 3-4 months in absolute pain.
Charisma 8 cause I'm a [censored] pimp
Intelligence 8 because I'm a [censored] Einstein
Agility 5 because while I am VERY good with my hands (I've actually picked a few pockets in real life (nothing criminal though. Long story...) and picked a few locks (this I just did because I wanted to see if I could)), I'm obviously kind of limited with how agile I am with my lower body.
Luck 6 just because my luck tends to go from EXTREMELY good to EXTREMELY bad; never the middle. Overall though, I would consider myself lucky that I get the extremely good luck every so often, because extremely good/bad luck opens up way more opportunities and possibilities than no good/bad luck at all.


Never fired a firearm in my life, so that'd be new to me, though I'm sure I could handle a basic pistol or low-caliber rifle. I have been in a couple fist fights and friends/aquiantances experienced with martial arts/boxing have told me I'm surprisingly knowledgeable and decent in fist fights despite never having a martial arts lesson in my life. I could definitely talk my way through most of the problems in the Mojave. I'm not an idiot; I'll play along with the Legion, the BoS, the Khans; you name it. I know how to say just the right thing to get the other side to trust me. As I said, I am allergic to morphine, so no Med-X for me, nor would I want to take any of the drugs. (even Turbo... :( ) I would definitely be a House supporter (wtf if you help that dude, you're set for life! It's a freaking wasteland out there) and I think I could handle running all his missions, the biggest issue would be contacting the Boomers. Would definitely take me a while to get the courage up to run through that artillery fire, but I think that's the case with everyone. I MIGHT do it considering how harsh the wasteland is and how sure-fire a life of luxury is if you help Mr. House. I don't think I would do any of the actions neccesary to obtain Boone (MAYBE I would), Raul, Arcade or Cass as a companion. I could definitely see myself traveling with Veronica, don't know if I'd bother taking Rex to get his cure (Jacobstown is pretty out of the way) and though I would tolerate Lily, I wouldn't feel comfortable traveling with her. Crazy Gram-gram may be fun for a game, but in real life? She's friggin' instable, and she can kill me. :cryvaultboy:


I would probably tag:

Speech
Unarmed
Survival (more to reflect how I tend to do well when my back's to the wall, and I've got a pretty kick-ass metabolism. Fallout has always treated fast metabolism = better healing through food/meds)

Traits would probably be:

Good Natured
Small Frame
OR Heavy Handed (I've had multiple friends I've hit while just messing around complain that they'd end up with a sore bruise for days. My knuckles hurt, apparently :P)

Not sure which two of those three. I am skinny, but I'm never broken a bone in my life, so I suppose Small frame would be the third wheel.
