Well i have a lot of fun with my sneaky assassins character, but i want to do a 3rd play through and want try something different. Are there any creative builds out there i should try?

Since the assassin was your second play through, what was your first? Knowing that will help us better help you.

both was assassin type.

Now I would ask you, do you want more direct combat or more of a pacifist character?

Mad Scientist-Chems/ Nuclear Physicist

Brawler- Strength/ melee/ explosives

Con Man-Charisma and luck

After playing with the takedown combos you can do in 3rd person. I'm leaning towards using this as my second playthrough type.

not sure was thinking a charisma build but what do i do when i face a legenary enemy or a strength build with power armor and heavy weapons but either seems too OP or i wont have enough ammo or cells at the begining is there any thing else creative to do? Im not sure what i want just something super fun is all.

I'm doing a space marine build. Commando, MELEE, toughness, pretty much well diverse.

Basically it's a well rounded soldier who also can do all the crafting.

Uses power armor quite often

make your vault dweller as fat as possible and max his/her endurance

I think my next play through will be the Atomic Druid. A Charisma of like an 8 or 9 the rest all 3s, maybe a slightly higher Perception. Going to max out all of the Charisma perks.

Sneaky assassin-- High agility and Luck. Ninja, Stealth, Mr. Sandman, Gunslinger, many critical perks. Then get yourself the Deliverer 10mm pistol. It has really good damage (rivaling a laser pistol), comes with a silencer silenced, has an extra 25% chance to hit in VATS and with my current AP points gets THIRTEEN shots while in VATS. It's insane. It doesn't have any scopes, though, just basic sights, so it's more of an up close weapon. But goood for a sneaky assassin type. It reminds me a lot of Mr. Burke's pistol from F03.

High Perception, Agility, and Luck for the ultimate Gunslinger. You can clear out a room in one VATS turn. It's like some No Country For Old Men [censored]. Build is just badass.

Did you not read the title? He wants something DIFFERENT than the sneaky type.

I was having a good time with what I was trying as a sports build. Taking dogmeat with me, I made a build for

Str-4
Per-4 + 1 from the early bobble head
End-4
Char-2
Int-1
Agility -7
Luck-6

Basically i wanted him to be a meathead sports and action fan. So he uses baseball grenades and bats or powerfists and takes lots and oots of chems. I took idiot savant and boosted agility early to 9 so i could get the blits perk. I basically chuck grenades till they come to me then i rush them down with powerfists or my bat while dosing up on chems. Love buffjet.

I read it. Thought it said "What's a build that's fun as the sneaky type". I missed the other "as". I thought he wanted a good sneaky build.

Well, for that, there's a lot of fun builds.

I have one build I want to toy with. I call it the Wrecking Ball. High Strength (for Pain Train and Melee weapons or Unarmed), Endurance (for Aqua Boy and lower sprint AP cost) and Agility (for Moving Target and Action Boy). Heavy focus on sprinting around just crashing into everyone and then finishing them off with a melee or unarmed attacks.
