What skills are your Tag skills? : Fallout: New Vegas

I put a lot into intelligence, so to help even the field I make Speech, Lockpick, and Guns my first three and then sometimes I'll get the Tag! perk for Barter.

Tag! is a big waste of Perk. Even my no-so-prefect-go-as-I-play character ran out of skill to dump points in.

Energy Weapons, Steal and Science with a little bit of Outdoorsman thrown in too.

Tag! is a big waste of Perk. Even my no-so-prefect-go-as-I-play character ran out of skill to dump points in.

I have that problem too, but I also run out of perks that I find useful.

Barter, Guns, Repair. Because I need to be able to buy ammo for the gun i like to keep working.

Speech, Guns, Lockpick. I've been playing diplosnipers for too long I think.

Steal? Science? Outdoorsman? I think you're playing too much of the originals.

Energy Weapons, Lockpick and Repair usually...sometimes Speech.

Also, sometimes I take Traits and sometimes I don't because of the negatives.

This game is the first time I needed the Tag Perk because Pipi's only got INT1 and that gave fewer points to spread around when leveling and I couldn't take Comprehension or Educated. It saved her...great perk in that situation. I think she's going to make it.

too much of the originals.

No such thing.

In the grand fashion of me being a [censored], I never choose Lockpick or Science as a tag skill. I always have speech and guns. Then I get unarmed or a nother type o weapon, and I always get Tag! and use it on repair.

Usually my Tags are Barter, Guns and Speech because I set my Charisma to 1.

Yes I always Tag although I can't really pinpoint what skill I pick. It's usually Melee, or Sneak.

Guns-Science-Speech.

Sometimes. (that is, as low-INT characters)

Across my characters there's a trend to tag lockpick and speech, but normally it's:
Weapon skill (unarmed/melee/guns/ew/explosives)
Use skill (speech/barter/sneak)
Other (speech/barter/sneak/lockpick/repair)

I never really use tag, though now playing a very low INT character I may well be tempted to do so, I find there's often more interesting perks, even intense training can often be more useful.

barter and speech are the MOST important skills ever, so i will proberly always pick them. This game i chose sneak as well, last game i chose lockpick (i chose sneak only in the poll btw).

Guns, Speech, and Lockpick is my most favored class.

Tag! is mostly needed for skills you want to have high early on, or that you need for a perk. I don't Tag! combat skills because early-game weapons can be used effectively with 25. I usually Tag! utility skills like Lockpicks (especially if I need to get Lucky in Primm), Science and Speech- the three skills which net you the most XP early on when you need to level up fast and open all doors.
