Intelligence is and always will be the most important SPECIAL stat next to Strength. You're gonna be carrying a ********* of energy weapons, so you're gonna need to know how to use them effectively. Kept ******* up my comment, just pretend the deleted ones aren't there.
Didn't you hear the news? There aren't skills anymore. Speech, Unarmed, Guns; they're all gone. Everything's determined by your SPECIAL stats and perks now. If there are Speech Challenges, they're probably determined by your Charisma and the perks you have that relate to it. It sounds crazy, but you gotta trust that Bethesda knows that they're doing.
I also heard it works more like Skyrim. the more you do one thing, the better you get at it, like archery, just pick up a bow and start shooting things.
and the perks have ranks
and the perks you can pick depends on your SPECIAL stat
you have 8 STR? you can pick perks from the first 8 levels, and you can level up your STR SPECIAL itself in the perk screen so you can eventually become a god with 10 in everything, and a ******* of perks that give you like +60% damage
I can't wait for the Project Nevada people to fix all the stuff that makes this game too easy to be fun
Jesus ******* Christ, when I said I expect this to be the Skyrim of Fallout, I didn't expect it to be THAT Skyrim-like. I mean, **** , that basically removes playstyles. You don't have to choose between melee or ranged, stealthy or tanky, you can be the almighty god of destruction. Who the hell though that's a good idea? Sure, it works in the Elder Scrolls games, but that's just because those have always been a power fantasy simulator, where you're the only guy who gets **** done.
yeah, you're not the guy who fought through the Enclave to get to the purifier, or fought through the Legion/NCR to get to the other side and kill their commander
To be fair, it's technically Boone with an anti-materiel rifle that got **** like that done. Still, it's nowhere near the levels you do in Skyrim. In New Vegas, you could be Houses' right hand, the new ruler of Vegas, some random grunt for the NCR or some random grunt for the Legion. One of them, not all at the same time. You could also be the person who improved the Boomers, Khans and Brotherhoods social skills. That's about it. And you were involved with even fewer factions in 3. In Skyrim, you are the Dragonborn of legend, thane to pretty much e very hold in the land, arch mage of the college of magic, listener to the nightmother, the gray fox, the leader of the blades, the hero of either the empire or the stormcloaks, the chosen champion of every daedric prince ever, wielding half the artifacts they've ever made. You are the most important person in almost every faction you've dealt with. You could literally amass an army of followers to fight Alduin if the game let you do **** like that. In Fallout, you're a pretty important person, but you're still mostly just a nameless grunt or a person who was at the right place at the right time. You're not the ******* champion of the NCR, you're just some guy who's really good at shooting people in the faces.
to be fair? I'm being fair
you're the lone wanderer and the courier
you don't take companions in the lore
I don't take companions with me, unless I take away their gun and give them a 9mm or a .357 revolver so they can't do much
"to be fair" he said **** , I didn't even read the rest
Yeah, but it was ******* good DLC with great characters, interesting quests and so on. Personally I enjoyed it a lot more than FO3, but hey, that's just me.
I found it remarkably broken on console, I started playing it on PC a while after and really gave it a good playthrough. But I guess the wonderment was gone at that point. I was so happy to have more Fallout 3 but the roman/cowboy themes just phased me. I remember Moira Brown etc. but not one person from NV.
