Yea I wanna know that life <| sep |> For the first time in many , many years , it feels like another country besides America is the bigger asshole . Congrats , UK , you ' re officially in the lead . <| sep |> Better prepared , huh ? You tell me how putting a clip into your daddy ' s AK works for you . <| sep |> That is a really shitty wine key , so to be expected . Get a rep to give you guys some double hinged . Those things last forever . <| sep |> Wow I didn ' t even realize they removed it from Steam . I feel special . <| sep |> A lot of newer players don ' t really think much about their starting stats . These stats can make or break your character . Plan out what kind of character you want , and plan your SPECIAL stats and perk choices accordingly . If you want an energy weapons character laser and plasma weapons , you ' re going to want to put your special stats more into Intelligence for the science and gun nut perks , Strength for armorer if you plan on using power armor a lot , and then just dump the rest into perception , agility , and luck . You may also want a high charisma , as energy weapons and ammo is very expensive and a high charisma will lower prices at vendors , but you shouldn ' t have to worry too much about endurance . Then there ' s also the question of your play style . If you find that you ' re getting gunned down a lot , maybe you want more of a stealth based character , so you can blow their brains out before they even notice you ' re there . Stealth attacks also gives you a pretty damn decent damage bonus . Don ' t be afraid to get creative and use explosives . Maybe set down a line of frag mines and hide behind a corner so your enemies end up blowing themselves up looking for you . Or maybe make a character designed to use VATS a lot . It can be an absolute life saver , especially when going up against groups of enemies like mole rats or ghouls . I find that ' s mostly when I use VATS . Also , the more you play , the more you ' ll understand how to cheat the system , or use the game ' s mechanics to your advantage . Also , don ' t forget to collect junk items for crafting materials . If you have a lot of aluminum , screws , oil , and leather , you ' ll generally have no problem upgrading your weapons and armor . Upgrade upgrade upgrade . You can take a piece of shit weapon , and turn it into something actually useful . One more thing , I highly recommend finding the Railroad and working with them just long enough to get the ballistic weave mod , which allows you to take something like a simple vault suit , or road leather outfit , and greatly increase it ' s ballistic and energy damage resistance . Or you can use the ballistic weave mod to make a fedora as useful as a combat helmet . It ' s incredibly useful and will make your character damn near bullet proof .
