After several years, I played Fallout 3 for the first time in a long while. I beat the game with all my skills and SPECIAL stats maxed. But I'm wondering if the character could have been done differently or better. Here was my starting SPECIAL: S: 5 P: 5 E: 5 C: 4 I: 8 A: 7 L: 6 Perks: Intense...

I have a total of thirty-nine builds planned for this game. They are all in three categories: Critical - focuses on increasing critical chance and damage as much as it can get. Weapons with high damage per shot, critical damage, and critical modifiers of greater than 1 work best. Quickshot -...

Maybe if the difficulty was lowered to a much more reasonable and balanced level.

It's been a long time since I successfully beat Fallout 2 with an evil character. It's almost impossible to go through the whole game as a completely evil character. I find that it's a much better idea when playing an evil character to start neutral and gain people's trust, and then when you get...

Vree offers a computer course that increases your Science skill by 15% permanently, or 30% if tagged according to the Fallout wikia. On previous playthroughs, I've been waiting until I reach the maximum level of reading those Big Books of Science on hard difficulty before taking the course. Is...

I figured out what caused it after some testing. It had something to do with having 0 Charisma after getting both implant enhancements despite starting off with only 1 and then using the Mirrored Shades and the module to do so, and then getting radiated. Even suffering from very low radiation...

I ran into disaster on my recent character in Fallout 2. I was playing a character without the Gifted trait and going solo with a Charisma of only 1. I installed the implant and wore the Mirrored Shades to get both implant enhancements. At level 24, I used Mentats to get Sniper as I hadn't got...

All three level 50 perks become available at the final level, but only one is unlocked depending on your karma. One increases critical damage, one increases health and damage, and the other increases attack speed and VATS action point regeneration. Now I know that Thought You Died, which...

I have been making many changes to my notes on specific build ideas for this game. I have made a list of all the important high-priority perks for each, as well as perks to take if they focus on VATS or not, and other optional perks to take when they have everything they need. But there is one...

Fallout 3 would probably be the only game where it's easy to be evil as the usual enemies who are always hostile, such as raiders and feral ghouls don't give you karma like they do in previous games or New Vegas. In New Vegas, karma practically has no effect in-game, aside from interaction with...

Some evil karma playthroughs in the first game actually kill everyone in the vault too, except for the overseer. Some evil playthroughs don'tt kill characters that give good karma such as Gizmo or the Skulz. A true pyschopath would kill everyone regardless.

Just like in previous games, this game has a lot of opportunities to gain karma. Maybe too much. You gain karma from killing enemies such as Fiends, Escaped Convicts, and Feral Ghouls. Because of this, regardless of how you solve certain quests and gain evil karma or remain neutral, it's next to...

This is a build that I have recently taken through the game, one that I have never tried before. Due to the fact that Fast Shot affects all weapons, including Melee weapons and Unarmed in Fallout 1, but not in Fallout 2, this build can only be done in Fallout 1. This is the only build where you...

In recent playthroughs (without an NPC mod), I found that once I get Power Armor, better weapons, and raised skills to 91% on Hard with books, they've served their purpose, aside from being cannon fodder.

Recently, I've beaten the first game again. Since I was using patch 1.3.6 which came with the NPC mod (this one doesn't change hairstyles on companions after they change armor to leather or metal), I could keep my followers around for longer as the armor improved their survivability. When I...
