I'm thinking about roleplaying the Punisher. If you don't know him: Frank Castle: According to the comics and the movies (mostly Warzone), he is a master of stealth, guns, and explosives. His modus operandi is messy overkill. Because of this I'm not sure on the stealth part, because the stealthiest he can be is when he's a mile away from the target with a sniper rifle.
He's also kind of a tank, so maybe max Endurance? I'm thinking a Luck-crit build, but that might take a lot of necessary points for other things like Endurance. Would an automatic weapon build needs high Luck to crit? Since most automatics have pretty low crit multiplier anyway.
I'm not sure about the armor. If I go light then I'll get the perks to be super-sneaky to get close to the targets and kill them with mini-nukes or something. But for tanking and aesthetic purpose, I would prefer medium armor (Desert Ranger until I get Elite Riot)
My weapons would mostly be automatics and explosives. I would aim for overkill: Missiles and grenades first, then come in with an Assault Carbine or Light Machine Gun. As for Deathclaws, I would just use mini-nukes. For this reason, I'll go hardcoe to make things fair. He would also have to be a brutal close-combat guy: Shotguns would be inadequate... In the comics, Frank is a pretty skilled h2h guy, so Unarmed for close-combat?
As for faction choice... NCR or Indie. But probably NCR. Knowing him, he would never serve one man like Mr House, and given the chance he would disembowel Caesar... He would assist the law, but if the law is inadequate then he will carry out his own style of natural justices... Much like how the NCR is ignoring the Legion's threat as they kill people, destroying towns and settlements. He would probably also bring down the Families on the Strips.
Any comments and suggestions would be great!
