Yeah seems like the way to go, and then maybe play as more of a smooth-talker in a future game. It seems like there are a good few ways to play this.

This guide says that Charisma is all but useless, and that 1 is perfectly viable. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/User:Porter21/The_Nearly_Ultimate_Fallout_Guide So maybe I could reduce this to maybe 2 or 3 so that I can increase Perception etc?

OK, lots to think about there. The walkthrough I read said that Luck affects quite a few things as well as combat, and they suggest 6. And I would like more perception and endurance, so maybe I'll alter those. And it looks like I have a spare tag to choose, so maybe I'll go Speech just to make...

Fair enough, I'll aim for energy weapons later on then. Any thoughts on the build? And should I go Energy Weapons as a tag at the start, or go Speech and build up Energy Weapons gradually?

I would prefer Big Guns to Energy Weapons really, unless the latter really is much better than the former. I just find big guns much more satisfying to use than lazers. So I'm thinking I might start again, with this build: S 5 P 5 E 4 C 4 I 8 A 8 L 8 Traits: Gifted and Fast Shot...

Yeah I like Fast Shot. The first perk I took was Quick Pockets because I'm assuming I'll need to heal with medkits during combat, although I was tempted by others. I want to get Strong Back though because I'm a hoarder and because of the no-follower thing. Would Big Guns be a viable...

I sacrificed Luck (I chose 4) to invest points elsewhere, and I chose the Fast Shot trait so I can't target body parts. I could always choose Finesse for my next perk, but maybe I'll struggle even if I do that. Would decent Small Guns and Melee not be enough in my situation? I'm not too far...

I never really liked energy weapons for some reason (up until now I've only played F3 and FNV, and only on Xbox 360). They just didn't really fit with my perception of the Fallout wastelands, which I suppose I tend to associate with Westerns. I always prefer to go with rifles, shotguns, and...

Thanks for that. For the radscorpions mission, I actually only did it once, but I took all the radscorpions tails and not just one. So it took the doctor a few days to convert them all to antivenom, so I got a bit paranoid about the timer. But I'm sure it'll be fine. As for combat, I think...

OK I'll do that. When I killed the radscorpions in the cave I picked up all of the tails, so that I could get as many antedotes as possible rather than just one (useful for bartering apart from anything else). But I noticed that it took a few days in total to do all of them, because each one...

Oh OK. So it's kind of like the quest in New Vegas then (the token that you start with), which kind of extends across the whole game. That makes sense. Maybe I should have extended the time limit in Fallout Fixt then. Although it sounds like it probably won't matter. By the sounds of it it's...

Maybe I've got it wrong when it comes to the water chip. I was under the impression that the game initially had a fairly strict time limit for the water chip mission, which was then extended a bit, and then possibly extended more by Fallout Fixt (although I chose the default options). Also, is...

I've started playing Fallout 1 for the first time, with the aim of playing 1, 2, 3 and NV, all for the first time on PC, and all modded, and then a nice bit of 4 when it comes out in November. My first start was a nightmare. I didn't choose any traits, and Ian at Shady Sands wouldn't help...

Great, thanks. Think I'll go for F1 with Fixt, F2 with Restoration and FT with Redux. I've had this "Fallout Collection" for ages (and I've played F3 and FNV many times on Xbox 360, and will soon play them again with mods on PC), and I'm finally going to get around to playing them after the...

Are they generally considered good elements that RP add? And how about Tactics? Is there a collection of patches for that? Or are the official patches enough?

I've installed Fallout 1/2/Tactics, and I've installed Fallout Fixt for Fallout 1. What's the best way to go with Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics, bearing in mind that I'm only looking for something that will fix the bugs, and make gameplay changes etc which make it more users friendly (which is...
