For Fallout 1, here is how to set your SPECIAL if you want to get the recommended perks without having to use drugs for qualification, assuming you take both Gifted and Fast Shot, as well as get the maximum amount of action points and as many skill points as possible, without using drugs: S-6...

For Fallout 1, here is how to set your SPECIAL if you want to get the recommended perks without having to use drugs for qualification, assuming you take both Gifted and Small Frame, as well as get the maximum amount of action points and as many skill points as possible, without using drugs: S-6...

This is yet another guide I have written for newbies from a former newbie. Since I now feel I have mastered the game, I would like to share some wisdom. In my opinion, this is the best Fallout game so far. It's also my favourite. Maybe because there are so many different types of characters you...

I have never actually tried to make a dimwit so I did. And was it ever a unique experience! Dimwit: I give up? Was it? No you idiot! That was a question, not a statement! Actually, I had a lot of fun playing a dimwit, seeing all those hilarious dialogues! Such as when you return the...

I finally feel like I know how to make a great character in Fallout 3. So this thread will be used to give advice to other newbies, similar to another thread I made for making characters in Fallout 1 and 2. Right now I have yet to get the hang of Fallout Tactics, so I'll be skipping that game...

This is the third and final character I discussed in an earlier thread on Tips for Newbies from a Former Newbie. This character focuses on fighting in melee combat rather than in long range combat. This playstyle is harder to do due to most of the opposition you face having guns. Still, when...

Here's a web page that contains lots of content related to Fallout in ways that is hilarious! There's a section on a fallout chain letter and what happened to several people who chose not to send one in, there's another on famous last words of vault dwellers, a drinking game, and how to tell if...

I beat both Fallout 1 and 2 with a sniper character. Unlike the burst fire character who focuses on fire off many rounds to cause as much damage as possible, the Sniper only fires one shot per attack, making it as deadly as possible by targeting specific body parts. Being able to pick off your...

I have once again beaten both the first two games in the Fallout franchise. The character I used was one who focused on dealing as much damage as possible with burst fire mode on his weapons. This type of character without a doubt is the strongest build in the game due to the sheer amount of...

Great news everybody! I found a mod online that disables all those npc responses if you merely glance at owned or locked property! That means no more "I can see you eyeing that" and all that. Get it here at: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/1908/? And here's another one for locked...

Now that I feel like I have mastered the first two Fallout Games, I'd like to share some tips for newbies. I was just like you, not knowing how to truly play the game like a pro. But thanks to the advice I got from my "I Have Questions About Fallout 1 and 2" thread, I now feel that I have...

I know that a lot of people use V.A.T.S with their characters, getting perks such as Grim Reaper's Sprint and action boy/girl. V.A.T.S gives a higher chance of critical chance and decreases the damage you suffer from enemies. Now I've been wanting to create a character to maximize the...

-why is there so much unradiated water? -how is the courier able to purify dirty water using glass pitchers and surgical tubing instead of relying on a purifier? -if Boone is hostile to the Legion and vice versa, why isn't Veronica hostile towards NCR and vice versa, especially if she is wearing...

I've had a total rethink of some details of the builds I have planned. Some factors leave me wondering if the ideas can be improved. For example, is there any point in making a critical build if my endgame weapon has a critical chance modifier of only 1, 1.5, or less than 1? Is there any point...

Hey I just had a recent thought. I've been looking up online on the Fallout vault wikia page, and discovered that rapid fire weapons are affected by Ain't Like That Now. So I'm wondering if it would be the superior choice of perk over Thought You Died for weapons such as miniguns, machine guns...

I've done some research and come to the following conclusions: Ain't Like That Now: V.A.T.S builds due to increased AP regeneation rate. Just Lucky I'm Alive: Critical or stealth builds due to increased critical damage. Thought You Died: Builds that do not depend on critical hits and focus more...

Now I just have some final questions for anyone to answer. I'll post them here rather than start a new thread since I'm still on topic. -How soon should I first arrive at the Strip? -When can I start straying from the highway which is safe according to Sunny Smiles? -When should I start playing...

Here is the final list of builds I have planned: Light Touch: This build focuses on using light armor and takes the Light Touch perk to give an extra bonus to critical chance. Travel Light and both ranks of toughness are mandatory for increased speed and increased damage threshhold to make up...

I've done some research and experimented in the game with different companions and have come to the following conclusions. Seeing as how my methods of playing this game differ from probably everyone else, I do things differently. Light Touch Builds: ED-E and Cass. When fully upgraded, ED-E...

In my opinion, Ulysses is the most memorable character in the entire game. Yet I feel that he should have been the game's main antagonist. For starters, it's because of him why we were in the position of carrying the platinum chip until we are ambushed by Benny and the Great Khans, and we all...
