Or you can just click on 'Rest until party has healed'.

You can rest in most locations by opening your Pipboy screen, clicking on the bell/alarm clock icon and setting the time. Conserve Stimpacks for combat healing, use resting for healing. This is very convenient shortcut when you're trading money. When bartering, you can use numeric keys & Backspace instead of scrolling with Up & Down arrows. You'll need to cough up 350 $ to hire him, but you can make 120 $ right away if you sell his Sledgehammer and give him a spear or Brass/Spiked Knuckles instead. 223 Pistol which is one of the top tier Small Guns and arguably one of the best 1h pistols available. You can even fit him with sub-machine guns and. He's easily one of the better companions available, he's got rather high HP at the point you meet him and he makes a good brawler. When you get to Klamath, recruit Sulik. You can't have too many Perks, but you can (and will) have too many skill points floating around. until you realize you're giving up valuable Perks.

No matter what type of character you're going for, aim for 10 Agility.ġ0 Action Points is way too good to pass up. It determines how many companions you can have traveling with you (CHA / 2 = max followers).įirst time players should consider 6 CHA or at least 4 CHA just for this reason.

In this game CHA isn't a dump stat it was in FO3 or NV. Most notably Vic has high Repair skill, whenever you're attempting to use Repair on an object Vic will say 'I'll do it!' and attempts to handle it for you IF he is standing closer to said object than you.īesides weapon skills you can leave most skills at 70-135% and call it a day. Your companions can handle skill checks for you! Tag skills to avoid include Barter, Gambling, Big Guns (eats too much ammo & very limited availability until midgame), Traps (not enough traps), First Aid (made obsolete by Doctor), Repair (not enough places to use Repair) and Throwing (too limited weapon selection).

Good Tag picks include Lockpicking, Stealing, Doctor (aimf for 75%) and possibly Outdoorsman. Tag Small Guns & Speech, you can pick 3rd Tag freely. If you're uncertain what kind of character is viable, try a Gunslinger* as your 1st character. There's only very few areas you can't return to when you've left and none of them are plot crucial.

I can't stress this enough, make a habit of saving your game often and save in different save slots just in case something goes awry.

So I decided to lend a helping hand and offer advice to anyone who wants help.įirst of all, make sure you install Killap's unofficial patch OR Restoration Project patch (I recommend Restoration Project, it also includes Killap's patch fixes) for best experience. I noticed some folks have trouble getting into older Fallout -games due to learning curve and roughy difficulty in early game.
