my character is a total alcoholic. i dont touch the chems tho. nasty habit that. i could forsee not having a fix around when i need one. so far booze is in abundance.
i made my character female, which is cool cuz i get this black widow perk, 10 added damage to all males (so far every supermutant ive found has been male, at least they look it. buddy told me they were all a-sexual, so i dont know how that factors in.), plus some unique dialog to wh0re out for info. kinda nice.
so far my character is some wasteland madmax style mexican gutter punk with a taste for vodka, whiskey, mohawks, lazer rifles and sledgehammers.
so far my energy weapons are at 80, but thats my highest skill, with the others of my high ranging in the 60s or 50 or so.
+20 AP and readily available anywhere you find raiders (nuka cola quantum does the same but it’s also an ingredient for nuka grenades and waste-not want-not).
It is also in your interest to buy a lab as soon as you can afford one so that you can de-tox if you are addicted and your stock has run low.
[QUOTE=Lucas;895990]how high should you get your main skills?
is 100 the top?[/QUOTE]
For you I would raise your weapon level a bit higher. Maybe 90 for your main group. Or if you want to save some perk options you can go 100. Reason being you seem by your post to use VATS more often so basically your aim is automated. Where as I mostly run and gun unless I’m point blank (easier to head shot). So I get less from having that little number higher since my aim is basically how well I can line up the crosshair. And while I still have bullets fly stray, just crouching pretty much shores up the aim for anything needed. My small guns is at 75. The only thing I still have issues on at times is the auto. But for precision shots I use the sniper or scoped .44 anyways. And its easy to aim with those provided you’re crouching and hidden.
As far as I can tell the only ones you really need to have maxed for total benefit would be repair, med, lock and science. Since those are all number checks. Either you are high enough to pick or hack or you aren’t
[QUOTE=Lucas;896014]ya i do use the vats alot, at least half the time. i use it if its a 80% to headshot or higher.
at this point im often still strapped for ammo, so it conserves a lot for me.
but i find i use my hammer more than my gun, and i just swing like a crazy mo fo till it dies.
i better re-evaluate my situation, as i havnt invested at all in science.
also, how long is the story. my dad just died. is that only the beginning?[/QUOTE]
You’re ****her than me on the main plot. I been doing mostly side stuff. One thing if you are melee focused I would think med, science and repair would be probably the most valuable. Science opens up nerd rage and along with med to get cyborg. Add those 2 with toughness and adamant skeleton and you have a melee powerhouse.
Now i have the problem though. When I first got my 360 I set up live but didn’t activate it. Then I started playing stuff with a profile, cuz you know how the 360 makes you set up one. Well now I just got my xbox on wireless and activated my live. But now I don’t know if I can merge my achievements and saved stuff from my first profile with my live profile (its 2 separate profiles on my 360 because for some reason it wasn’t letting me retrieve my gamertag unless I set it up as its own profile). If I would just lose my achievements it sucks but I’d live with it. But since it saves games to the profiles I will have to start over all my games too
i had that problem too when i got live. i had to start a new profile, something like my tag was already in use or some such, cant remember. i do remember being kinda like, wtf… some games let you transfer the save data, but most dont i think.

Yep that’s exactly what my problem is…who’da thought ninja is such a used tag name?

So now i’m MonkeyKaboom…don’t hax my bases[/QUOTE]
lol.
i for some reason made my Xombi666
i get no end of **** talking when i log into a live game. like GTA4. everyone immediately starts talking ****. then i drive by and nade them all and laugh my ass off.
[QUOTE=Lucas;896027]i think im gonna get that animal lovers perk. at least rank 1 so i never have to worry about those pesky creatures anymore.[/QUOTE]
haha, come on, the yoa guai aren’t THAT hard haha
man, I don’t want to start over now i’m almost to 14
[QUOTE=Lucas;896033]shoot, sorry man. ill refrain from being a spoiler from here on o9ut. wasnt thinking, my bad.[/QUOTE]
eh its cool…kinda expected that much to happen anyways. I mean he did run out into a nuclear wasteland all by himself. And the story is somewhat predictable. At least at this point it is. I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out that the whole thing is a big experiment by vault and only US is destroyed (with the blessing of US gov/mil) and the whole annex canada thing is a big scam and such…
[QUOTE=SoCo KungFu;896035]haha, come on, the yoa guai aren’t THAT hard haha

ive only ran into 1 of those so far, they look like a giant fleshy werewolf. considering if i run into a lot of those i may get 2 ranks so they help me fight stuff.

why would u start over tho?[/QUOTE]
If I want to have my achievements logged I gotta use the profile on live. If I use the profile on live I have to start over because my stuff is saved to the one not on live.

That’s about half way through the main story.

The yao guai cave is a really fun little dungeon crawl. It’s short but it’s appended to another, longer, crawl so it’s good for filling up the edges with valuable Yao Guai meat… and lots of opportunities to rack up sneak attack critical strikes on Yao Guai with a sniper rifle.
So I started over. Figured I may as well do it before I get too far, though level 15 is pretty far I suppose, but story-wise…
Gonna get my small arms up to about 50 then do big/energy from there out I think. Not sure how it will work out. Flamer is fun but it doesn’t have the insta kill that bullets have on head shots and the mini takes forever to get into the firing cycle making it unusable at close range.
And this time I new to tag explosives so I can disarm the bomb right away and get some storage space.
I’m just mostly peeved about having to do survival guide all over again. That took forever
