Hey everyone! I finally just got the game (ultimate edition) and I've got some questions right off the bat.

1) Should I play the game vanilla first? Or just start with all of the dlc? This is my first Fallout game and I've played a couple hours and its really overwhelming.

2) What kind of build is easiest to start out with and which S.P.E.C.I.A.Ls and skills should I invest in early and often? What about perks?

3) There seem to be a TON of factions. So which ones do you normally ally yourself with and why? I like to hear other people's opinions.

4) Best/most fun weapons to use? I like using just regular guns so far, but I'm open to other suggestions. Also, how do you make more ammo?!? That's been a problem for me.

5) I'd also just appreciate any tips or tricks that will help me through my journey! I am under all of your wings!

Keep in mind that this is my first Fallout game, like I said. Thanks for any input!!
