Im going to make a character with the major skills Energy weapons, Science, and medicine. What special do you recommend? Also i plan on joining the BoS and obtaining and using Brotherhood power armor. Thanks.

No i dont plan on gambling and as far as criticals go, im just aiming for average.

Depends on what perks you want to get. Also if your going for criticals and gambling.

My one went like this.

S 3.
P 6.
E 5.
C 8.
I 8.
A 5.
L 5.

Traits good natured, and which ever you like.

However if I were to make a power suggestion ( despite knowing this killed everything very quickly in hardcoe normal before the patch ).
I'd loose 3 points in charisma, boost strength to 5 and place the other in luck.

EW character with average luck?

Anyways, you will want:

S7
P5
E7
C4
I6
A5
L6

With this you can wield any weapon Implant and T-45, all good perks, decent crit rate, useful implant and decent companion.

I also suggest Rapid Reload for Lv2 if you don't have Dead Money.

S 5
P 7
E 6
C 4
I 7
A 6
L 5

Recommend; weapon handling perk and strength implant

If you're not using VATS much, or it's not a spill in your playstyle, you could redistribute some points from it.

I used Perception, obviously. Jack that up to 10, or 9 if you want to buy an implant.

There are some high end energy weapons, so put strength up to 6 and take Weapon Handling.


I would honestly leave Charisma at one. Put some intelligence points in and some endurance. The remaining bits, put it into either luck or agility, or balance them out.


Something like:

S 6
P 9
E 5
C 1
I 7
A 4
L 7
