speech in NV

do speech checks have any thing to do with charisma? Or am I good with a charisma of 1 and just pump the speech skill. I was so used to bypassing speech and charisma, then I noticed it would be useful in this game

Speech definitely makes your life easier in the game as there is are numerous speech checks that can either make quests easier to do, better rewards, skip certain parts of quests, etc, etc...

So in the end it is up to your preference on what your character to be...

You could always bump Charisma down to say 3 or so and simply tag Speech as one of your skills to make up for the deficit also.

charisma also makes your companions more effective.

the thing that svcks is I am about 12 hours in (level 10)with a Charisma 1 and a speech of 18 and now I either have to start over or just start pumping speech and leave some skills behind for a little bit

Damnit I was worried about that too. So Charisma really isn't necessary this time around. I have it at 6 but noticed I barely need to put anything into speech but it's fine at 50 for a long while. I don't want any of the overpowered companions either so it's even more useless. Might have to restart the char again...
