What build has the best gameplay in this janky mess?
>>750685670Depends on if you wanna play using VATS a lot, occasionally, or never plan to touch it. Changes what SPECIALs and perks are useful or not.
>>750685670there is no good gameplay to be found in NV, people just like the story
>>750685764I'd prefer to use VATS as little as possible
Charisma is dump stat because it has zero good perks and the companion buffs are not needed. Perception is a dump stat if you are not going crit because it has 2 good perks (better criticals and sniper i believe) locked behind per 6. I would say endurance should go to at least 8 so you can get most of the implants. High strength is not really needed even for melee probably 7-8 points max.
>>750685670high endurance because you can buy all the implants from Doctor Usanagi9 endurance minimumCharisma you can always dump it to 1the rest put it in Luck because crits are OP.and depends how stressed you get about carrying stuff and how much of a "loot goblin" you are. Which determines how much STR you should have.If you are ok with only carrying 2 guns 1 light melee option like the spiked knuckles. Then 1 STR is fine.weapons also got handling but it impacts spread very little. Skill level impacts it more.
>INT 10>END 9>CHA 1Distribute the rest however you want. Take Skilled (twice or thrice if you're cool with exploits) and whatever perk that increases skill gain from books.
>>750686058>9 end to get all implants>10 int
>>750685670My favorite build was spamming tin can 'nades. Requires just 45 repair, and 45 explosives. Any special.Up intelligence so you have points to spend when you level up. The unique dialogue of being a moron is only so funny.Get 45 survival for Travel Light, and enjoy the faster movement speed.
>>750685883Alright so then you can scrap shit that improves VATS aim obviously, and get rid of the hope of hitting anyone with explosives outside of landmines and grenade launchers, because the physics are fucked up and really difficult to gauge how hard to throw grenades or anything for that matter.Melee is pretty dogshit in the game....but at least with VATS you can fucking teleport around like a ninja and take way less damage during attack animations. So you shoot shit either close or far away. Upto you and neither of those require really much investment. High END can be good for implants for min maxing but not needed. Crit is good if you wanna snipe. Jury rigging perk is good for everyone. Shotguns are fun
>>750686058INT is overrated in Fallout, its the reddit stat they think that maxing all skills to 100 early is the pinnacle of meta but it aint. I agree about taking skilled, then respecing and taking skilled again at any opportunity tho because its free but that trait only makes INT even more useless.7 INT should be fine. High LUK is more important for DPS.
>>750686195>melee is pretty dogshit>melee is pretty dogshitThe ripper is one of the best weapons in the game. Melee is the second best build behind stealth sniper. Take the trait that doubles chem duration, no chem addiction, but locks you to level 30. Steal cobs stealth boy and take the cazador route to red canyon. Pick up chances knife and head to red canyon. Have the druggies make medx, slashers and rush water with 50 sciences. Gg the game is easy mode within an hour.
>>750686405No it's not and you are a fucking retard lol.Small Guns (Riot Shotgun: stay back + shotgun surgeon = gg no re nothing can fight back) > Energy > Big Guns > Unarmed > Melee > Throwingin that order. From best to worst.The ripper is mid tier at best.b-but high DPS and silent and ignores armormost enemies in the game have shit armor except the Brotherhood of Steel. Who, gives a single fuck. Way easier to shoot them from afar and not take any damage than trying to approach them in the open while they pepper you with Gauss Rifles and Gatling Laser shots.
>>750685670>max out luck>get crits on every shot>win every time at the casinoit's not even a debate
>>750686128You don't miss out on any skill points that way. And there's those other implants besides SPECIAL stats.
>>750686405OP asked about GAMEPLAY. The game easy no matter what build you do. Using melee and ESPECIALLY the ripper feels awful and is fucking boring.
>>750686541>Small Guns (Riot Shotgun: stay back + shotgun surgeon = gg no re nothing can fight back)This. Other playstyles are lots of fun but that's the best one.
>>750686541im trans btw don’t know if that matters
>>750685883Endurance 10Strength 10Luck 10 throw your last remainder of points into whateverAlright, that's it have fun.

>>750688247this game has magic?
>>750685670The objectively best?0 in charisma, 7 in everything else and get the implants from old world blues and Dr Usanagi
>>7506856708 Endurance7 Intellegence7 LuckRest in whateverAt least 4 strength so your weight limit isn't total assCharisma to 1 alwaysany points left over can go to perception
>>750685670END 7CHA 1INT 9LCK 9everything else doesn’t matter sneak your way through quarry junction, rob the casinos playing blackjack, buy all the stat implantsmake sure you do all the above at level 1then you can start the real game
Are ghouls really immune to addiction?

>>750685670player.setav S/P/E/C/I/A/L 10There, now you can play the game without missing out on any content (except the 1 intelligence dialogue).If you want to be extra sure, feel free to bump all skills to 100. The game can handle all skills being maxed, you won't get stuck in the level up menu.I personally like to throw in a perk per level mod to really get a good master-of-all build going.
>>750685795wrong
Cannibal regeneratorGuns are useless, as is perception, and luck, 4 int is all you need, charisma is worthless. So you may now go 9/9 in str and endurance. 7 in agility with small frame to get it to 8.Melee and unarmed with survival. I played this shit on hard and was able to tank legion and ncr kill squads by eating bighorner steak, bloatfly sliders, gecko steak, and dirty water. That alone gives you 20+hp per second>oh but duh deathclawsWill fucking die when you switch to unarmed and proceed to stun lock them to death.You run in and you kill and then you eat. You'll be laughing at cazador poison cause your regeneration outpaces it.
>>750685670make a cowboy build with high luck and agi and win the game or go full str and end unga bunga legionary

>>750690106It depends on what Bethesda feels like at the time.
>>750685670>What build has the best gameplay in this janky mess?the level cap is 50, do whatever the fuck you want. its impossible to gimp yourself.
>>750690106addiction is meaningless when you can just use a doc, the sink doc, fixer, chem resistant, etc. etc.
>>750685670>>750685670From a non-min max perspective I always like playing as a tinkering scavenger so SPECIAL would go where it would increase my sneak, repair, lockpick, guns, carry limit, etc
