Fallout: New Vegas character builds!

[Blazingdragoon04]

For true Lolz, make a character with high strength, perception, agility, and endurance, and low charisma, luck, and intelligence, with melee, unarmed, and survival tagged

Why, you might ask? Because you are now roleplaying as a murderous zombie out for revenge on the entire wasteland. If you leave a settlement with anyone alive you are not doing it right.

Hilariously this makes the villain of the game not the man who shot you, the NCR, the Legion, or Mr.house, but rather Doc Mitchell. I played it for a bit before I returned the game due to glitches, gotta say its a lot of fun. The first thing I did when I was resurrected was run outside and melee the robot to death.

 

[SuperUnCoolKid]

Im a level thirty with tagged skills Guns,Sneak, and Repair. All these are maxed including speech and lockpick, everything else is low except for science which is somewhat in the middle. My character wears Reinforced Combat Armour Mark II, sunglasses, and a First Recon Beret. He uses a Gobi Campaign Sniper Rifle, an Anti-Material Rifle and Maria(unique 9mm pistol). Also have Boone and ED-E as followers so he's pretty much unstopable. Serousisly can take out a deathclaw with one head shot from sneak. Also have an unarmed, explosive, melee character and playing with that build is a blast.

 

[BENZOOKA]

I've focused especially on: Lockpicking, Guns, Repair, Speech, The ability to carry great quantities of loot.

 

[MrGalactus]

My guy is Melee, Unarmed, and Explosive focused. I should've called him Brick.

 

[Frozengale]

Strength - 7
Perception - 7
Endurance - 5
Charisma - 5
Intelligence - 9
Agility - 9
Luck - 5

Can't remember my Tag skills but my highest ones are in Lockpick (Max), Science (Max), Sneak (90) and Melee (90)

Basically I just sneak my way in and out of every where and use the Oh Baby! while sneaking around to kill anything in a one hit. Also my favorite Perk is the Mister Sandman.

 

[Dingmania]

My tag skills are melee weapons, Speech, and lockpick. You really dont need anything else when you have 9 strength like i do, lol. But, yeah my favorite weopon in the game is Knock-Knock (the unique fire ax in the irradiated firehouse) 80 dam fully repaired, HELL YEAH

 

[Mr.Floppy]

My first character was just for shits and giggles. I did some stupid random spread of stats, I think charisma was low and strength was high, and I tagged guns, lockpick, and sneak, thinking I was going to play it like FO3. Then I turned into the ultimate "assertive" cannibal merchant. I had all the merchant perks, I got cannibal and got all the perks associated with that (including the one where you have to eat Mr house, caesar, the king, and president kimball, Im really rather proud of that). I primarily used the riot shotgun, the all american, and a silenced sniper rifle. I ended the game by taking over Vegas with yes man, devouring legate lanius and the general guy because they were both dickheads, and had my pockets lined with 215,000 caps.

My new guy I'm making is going to focus on hi-critting energy weapons and a stupidly overpowered chainsaw (and yes, I know that doesnt make any logical build sense) so I can go texas chainsaw massacre on everyone in the strip because I'm siding with the legion this time around. I will be feared!

PS: Props to the pulse gun, that little pistol made fighting all the robots the first time around a breeze. I always had it on me, at top condition.

 

[TheDeathByIce]

Speech, Sneak, and Guns.

I'll persuade, rob, and then shoot you. ^_^

Love your way of thinking

 

[distended]

Explosives + the named missile launcher + high explosive missiles is really fun for cazador packs. Especially since half the time it disables their antennae and they finish each other off.

Combine that with melee and Oh Baby and guns/sniper or energy/YCS (and meltdown for kicks) and you'll overpower pretty much anything at any range (on normal difficulty.) Speaking of which, I'm usually a fan of bigger challenges but I find New Vegas more fun on normal difficulty. It's not a ton of fun to sneak crit headshot a deathclaw and see his health drop to 75% as he steamrolls toward you.

 

[Xaositect]

I believe my last complete playthrough was tag skills energy weapons, repair and medicine, level 35. I always play the "intellectual gunslinger" on Fallout games, and weild either guns or energy weapons.

I always lower strength, endurance and charisma and beef up perception, and try to max intelligence, agilty and luck.

Ive also never played the game on any other setting than very hard/hardcore mode. Its a pain at times, but still a lot of fun when I have such massive critical chances and damage levels with some of the best weapons in the game. I may only be able to take one hit from a deathclaw, two if Im lucky, but I can blow its head off from about half a mile away with the YCS gauss rifle in one shot or turn it into goo or ash with the matter modulator and pew pew.

Plus I LOVE applying your characters powers of intellect in the Fallout games with the various stat checks in conversation and out.

Edit: I created a new guy not long ago but he wasnt all that different. Im probably going to try different weapon setups and perks this time around.

How the hell does this thread have over 50,000 views?

OT: I can't remember to be honest, I stopped playing when I reached a point of impossibility...

Why thank you.

 

[Cheesepower5]

Level 30, 100 everything. Started out focusing on melee, speech and lockpick.
Current files: High speech, barter, survival, medicine, etc(Hardcore mode) and high guns, sneak and lockpick(also hardcore mode.) Both level 5, liking the combat-less one better.

 

[Jimmy T. Malice]

I can't remember my Tag skills, but my SPECIAL stats are 5 on all but Perception and Agility, which are at 8. I mainly focus on gaining an absurdly high Guns, Speech and Sneak skill (although I sidetracked for a while and built up my Medicine and Explosives to pass some checks for a sidequest). And I stupidly took the Four Eyes and Good Natured traits.

 

[slopjaw]

i have a lvl 16 stealth
tag: guns 52,sneak 82,repair 49
its pretty fun to run around and one shot one kill everything

My first and most liked character has Science, Sneak and Speech. Int 10, Str 1, End 3.

He regularly hides behind Boone and Rex and yells HEADSHOT every time Boone kills something.

My second one is Sneak, Guns, Lockpick, has Luck 10 and That Gun and regularly does criticals, headshots and one hit kills.

I like them both but the first one is so much more awesome to role play.

Yeah, they died very fast in Fallout 3. But ...Boone is pretty much a kill stealer for any character that you make. He took out an entire camp of enemies while I pretty much stood by and cheered him on. Not my most proud moment but it was fun when he said "Got one..." with a mass of dead soldiers behind him. Oh, I'm playing on Normal, not Hard or Very Hard though.
