i’ll be joining the railroad because they give the best quest rewards like stealth boys gauss rifles, railway rifles etc which are vital in survival and tbh despite being a bit liberal i like the characters in the railroad even doc carrington who compared to the cunt who is knight rhys is a saint. i’ll stick to weavable clothing once unlocked because it weighs less.Īs much as i hate stealth playstyles i wanted to play in a way where i can end an engagement before it starts by investing in nija, mister sandman and sneak. With the right financial decisions early on and abuse of grape mentats you can obtain overseers guardian before level 10 and since it has one of the best ammo types in the game is gonna be the gun for the entire game. once i have enough money i will purchase overseers guardian from vault 81 and from then on he game becomes a whole lot easier. thats a good 1000k or more worth of caps.
bethesda made making money in this game too early, within 5 minutes you can obtain a fat man and 2 mini nukes to sell if yo travel east from sanctuary hills and can find 4 fusion cores before meeting preston garvey if you go to satellite olivia and destroy the sentry bot with a hollow tape then go underneath the red rocket truck stop. with all the bobble heads i will have enough special to invest into strong back in the strength skill, lockpick with the special one gained early on and chemist with the intelligence bobblehead which can be obtained from right next to diamond city. charisma 3 works well if i’m using grape mentats and want to win a speech challenge and gives access to lone wanderer which is one of the best perk trees in the game.Įarly on i plan to put a point into luck with the special book to get scrounger. 6 intelligence gives me access to some of the best survival perks like scrapper, hacker, medic, gun nut and later on chemist. 4 endurance allows chem resistance and later on aqua boy usage which obviously stop addiction debuffs and then reduce the amount of rads one obtains from swimming. I invested in agility for sniping,stealth and vats use. With these stats i feel i won’t level super fast like if i had 10 intelligence or idiot savant and can just enjoy the game without being overleveled before reaching diamond city, the strength stat being high is to have access to strong back on top of the lone wanderer carry weight boost since i’m gonna need the carry weight for ammo surplus and without power armor inventory management is a pain without perk investment.
i’ve done max intelligence power armor, melee, jack of all trade builds all on survival difficulty but i want to make a true survival specialist build character and have them join the minutemen or railroad. So with the new fallout being upon us i had the urge to go back to fallout 4 and make a new character.
