One of the hardest parts of Fallout: New Vegas is actually choosing what sort of character to play. There are so many basic archetypes to choose from and then there are almost infinite variations on exactly how you build your character that this game can be daunting to even start up. If only someone wrote a guide about playing a melee-based character in Fallout. Wait a minute,.I. wrote a guide about playing a melee-based character in Fallout! It won't translate 100% to New Vegas, but hopefully will give you some pointers. If you're thinking of fighting up close, which it sounds like from your post, you'll need to have a. Fallout 4 New Vegas is a fan project to bring the 2010 Obsidian game into the latest engine used by the Fallout series. This video shows the updated character creation scene with Doc Mitchell.

Fallout New Vegas Perfect Character

So whenever I play fallout or oblivion, I'm always running in weapons blazing and murdering everyone. I thought that in New Vegas, I might try to take the exact opposite approach and play as a stealthy character on my first playthrough (hardcore mode). I'm a little worried that I might get 10 hours in and realize that I made a stupid decision and regret putting so much into being a stealthy character that it might make the game not fun. So here's my crack at what I might have my character focus on: SPECIAL put most into agility, strength and intelligence Skills sneak, melee/unarmed (which one is generally better?), guns, science, speech If anybody has played as a sneaky character and would like to fill me in on any tricks of the trade, that would be greatly appreciated.

Stealth characters can be very fun, but you have to enjoy that particular pace. It might take a while for you to adjust to that style of play, so it's more than likely you won't like it for a while. I hated my first stealth character in FO3, till I got the sneak attack crit perk. That perk along with the one that refills your VATS meter when you kill an opponent are key to killing a lot of foes quickly with that kind of build. I still prefer to hang back with a sniper rifle and clean up with a submachine gun up close though. @Vorbis said: ' Playing a 'sniper' crit build with Sneak, Guns, Repair. Focused on Luck, Agility and Perception.

I'm sneaking around everywhere and every opening shot is a critical. It's just a shame all the sniper rifles are so rare, so mostly just using rifles modded with a scope. Sneaking works fine for my build but not sure how well it would go for getting in close. 'Yeah the sniper rifle is annoyingly rare I mean for the VAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST majority of the game I've been using the varmint rifle you get for the tutorial mission with a scope on it. @SteamPunkJin said: ' Until they release a Chinese Steal Suit or equivalent (either perk or armor) I'd say no (but keep in mind I don't own the game). I didn't find Stealth to be all that easy to pull off in FO3 without that DLC Suit just because you'd still get seen and for obvious reasons you don't get enough Stealth Boys to really cover an entire playthrough. 'The Chinese Stealth Armor is in the game, but it's not gamebreaking like it was in FO3.

It only provides +5 Sneak and makes Stealth Boys last longer. No stealth field.

@Moridin: That's heartbreaking about the no stealth field. I loved that suit in Fallout 3, it was so OP. I usually play a sneaking character that focuses on Guns. I like getting the early advantage with the opening shot and then being strong enough to hold my own once the fighting gets cranked up. I usually sneak around in power armor, take sniping shots to start fights, then pull out a handgun or shotgun for the closer fights. As far as points go I tag: Agility, Intelligence, and Luck. My S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

Looks like 5, 5, 5, 5, 8, 6, 6. Strength is a waste to build up unless you are going melee and I don't recommend going melee and guns. It pays later on in the game to specialize. @MikeHawk said: ' SPECIAL put most into agility, strength and intelligence Skills sneak, melee/unarmed (which one is generally better?), guns, science, speech. ' I guess I play stealthy. My build is similar to yours but rather than make strength high I went for perception. I don't grasp the concept of playing this and F03 in melee so I completely ignore everything relating to unarmed or hand-to-hand combat.

I've got a thing for pistols in any game that lets me carry a gun, so I completely ignore explosives, energy weapons and any other skill that boosts a weapon other than guns. The build worked well enough for me in FO3 but I've got it down packed from the get go in NV and it's really smooth. Most of my battles start off with me sneak critical killing two bad guys before they're aware of anything.

That's a one hit kill and I have perk that gives me extra AP for killing bad guys in VATS so once the initial two are dead, I still have close to a fool AP bar to play around with any enemies who aren't dead yet. At that point it's a race to see whether my partner can close the distance and do a melee attack or I can switch to a pistol and get close to take out anyone else. In the past they'd be able to land some hits on enemies, but now I can usually take out everyone because of AP perks and high agility. From experience if you are playing a melee character then stealth goes very well together with it. Mele is even more powerful in F:NV However if you are just planning on sniping from stealth then you don't really need to put points into it. As long as you have high weapons skill and crouch you can headshot enemies from miles away, at that point your stealth stops matering as you are too far anyway. I've been going through F:NV sniping Deathclaws in broad daylight with Power armor on.

There are some quests and situations where stealth is very useful, however these can all be covered by the amount of stealth-boys you find in the game. @Redjoker said: ' Its sounds odd but I set my charisma to 1 and just tag speech. Since there's no extra effect on charisma other then skill benefits and no checks that use it you don't really need it. What you could use is more strength for carry weight or agility for AP. What I found though is even with 100% sneak,a silencer,and distance b/t me and my target I still get seen every now and then.

'Your companions benefit greatly from your charisma. Each point in charisma gives all companions +5 dmg and +5 DT At 10 CH that's +50 dmg and +50 DT.

Sorry Sam I read this wrong when I replied before. There are some mods that help.have you tried anything yet?Yeah, I've tried some of the texture mods and the like, but there doesn't seem to be anything that really makes a difference. I looked around for a racemenu replacer, like the one you linked for Skyrim, but there doesn't even really seem to be one, or any discussion about making one (which is odd, because, frankly, the default one sucks).Ahem, well somethings can NOT be changed in a game its built into the engine. You can not make FNV/FO3 look and act like Skyrim as they are not using the same engine or are even remotely close to the same game.That said you do not give any information on your character so I have to assume its pretty female character you are looking for, now that said 'nice looking' is subjective to personal taste:Try looking through the Models and Textures and the Hair and Face Models sections.

I said I wanted something like the mod in question. I wasn't strictly talking about female characters, just characters in general. I've already combed through most of the mods in the models sections. My question was mainly asking about the general skill that goes behind using the race menu tools.
