vandalism posted:Welp I'm starting a new game. What is objectively the best starting special stat allocation? it depends on your build. like, if you want to go melee, you want to pump END up, but if you're strictly ranged, you can get by with 3/4. You almost certainly want high INT though, just for those precious skill points

~my last build~ for an unarmed char was 8/1/9/1/10/1/10. it was kinda gimmicky and I didn't plan on using it for like 40 hours like I did, so you don't actually need 10 luck (8 and common sense will get you thrown out of a casino for playing blackjack within ten minutes)

The moral of Dead Money is letting go, everybody who fails to resist the temptation of the vault dies.... except the Courier, who gets to go in, walk out, and take some of that precious booty with him!  I've been using mine to finance my addiction to getting implants, I actually cleared out all my caps the other day for the first time, which meant.... I just had to go pick up another of my stash of gold bars and jump up another 8k!

Tewratomeh posted:Either we're thinking of two different guitars or you mean to tell me that they actually put a Gun Runners special weapon in a DLC. I'm not sure - I thought you were referring to the Lone Wanderer's guitar, which (as best I can tell) appears to be a simple item, albeit one that requires you to vamoose really fast if you steal it from a live Wanderer. Dead Money has a guitar just sitting around in one particular upstairs room. Does GRA *have* a guitar? I don't recall seeing one in the previews at BethBlog...

I just love this game. I just completed the Sic Semper Tyrannis challenge by shooting Kimbal in the back of the head on top of the helipad and then jumped off the ledge to make my escape and broke my leg upon landing. The only thing I was missing was a derringer and it would have been perfect.

Nah no need to waste a perk slot, it's a short walk to Novac then you can mail the tonnes of gold through the apparently very strong and trustworthy Mojave express.

This is my next run (numbers in parenthesis are the totals after all stat implant boosts from the medical facility:) Str 7 (10) - (also includes OWB Spineless +2) Per 5 (6) End 9 (10) Cha 1 (2) Int 5 (6) Agi 9 (10) Luc 4 (5) This gives you access to basically all the good perks and should get all skills to 100 or close to it. Of course, you can play the game any way you want.

I like having an updated OP, but I take issue with the statement that there's no useless perks. I mean can anyone really justify taking Retention? Or Entomologist now that we don't have to deal with FO3's albino radscorpions? And all of the radiation related perks, pretty much, since rad-away is generally plentiful and the ones that give benefit for radiation are never worth it. And the ones that allow you to redo broken locks/ computers. And the one that makes nightstalker squeezins give bonuses because honestly by level 20 you're not gonna see a nightstalker again unless you're exploring all the caves/ doing Lily's quest.

rope kid posted:I don't know why you would expect that. The original Bozar was a 30 round automatic weapon that fired in 15 round bursts. The reason it caused so much damage was because of the volume of ammo it threw at enemies.  I have a strong bias against low DAM weapons that aren't the guns using 5mm due to the damage system edit: w/e i'm just going to mod it so it's a semi auto .50 anyway

I get 10 END on every character I make just so I can get all those sweet implants. I used to always have 10 INT but now I usually just have 8 (with the implant). Between skill books and 50 levels it's easy to get all the skill points you need, especially if you just have one combat skill. I don't even get educated, but you could grab that if you really want more than one combat skill before level 30, I guess. My level 25 character right now pretty much has all of their relevant skill points maxed (besides barter and survival, which I'm working on)

Yeah, I gotta admit I'm a little disappointed in the Bozar. I just spent 45k caps on the thing (I don't know how expensive it is in vanilla - I have the hardest level of Bartertown running) and, well. I'll just stick with the All-American/anti-materiel rifle. It is a cool gun to have leaning against the wall in my Novac hotel home, though.

You can actually (DM spoilers)grab all the gold and just crawl out the door that Father Elijah dosen't use, if you have a stealth boy. He needs to not spot you for it to work, I think. The lengths you have to go to to get around the weight limit really drive home the message of Dead Money, i think.

Unless you're really bad at picking them in the first five minutes, your SPECIAL stats should cover all the perks you want, and even the gimmicky perks like Lady Killer seem more useful than just adding +1 to END or AGL.
