How can I navigate the wasteland safely without encountering very tough enemies early? Should I stay on certain paths? How should I build up my skills? What should I set my attributes at for each planned character? How do I create a perfect character? What kinds of weapons should I carry with me so I can tackle any situation? I would like to know if any of the builds above are viable. In previous playthroughs, I found that even after maxing all my important skills, I still had some levels left to achieve and get skill points to invest in combat skills that my build does not use. Long Range, fire, stealth, melee, unarmed, or non critical. Luck is dumped.Īs you can see, I focus on a certain style. Heavyweight: Focuses on weapons that do not deal critical hits such as explosives, Eugene minigun, and Kneecapper. Pyromaniac: Uses weapons affected by pyromaniac perk.

Most weapons are silenced to remain undetected. Silent Assassin: Wears Chinese Stealth Armor and uses both guns and melee.

Sharpshooter: Uses small guns, energy weapons, big guns, in other words, specializes in long range combat. Yet from what I have read, it is possible to achieve 100 in all skills if you play right, using both guns and melee. I have the Ultimate Perk Pack installed, but even then, the perks of fallout 3 are similar to fallout 1 and 2 in that certain perks affect either melee or long range combat, forcing you to choose between melee or guns.


This even when I played on the easiest difficulty setting! So I have no idea how to navigate the wasteland safely and what parts of the map to stay out of until I achieve a higher level. Due to open sandbox style, in past playthroughs, I have often found myself facing opposition that is too strong for me. This is where character creation gets more complicated due to lack of traits.
