Template:All Game Nav This walkthrough is different in its approach, and a special "highly-tuned" character is used to maximize effectiveness. The walkthrough will walk you through in getting the Power Armor early on in the game (or at least after Vault City), and that is largely responsible for high and low stats featured in the selected character.

The pre-selected characters can finish the game. Chitsa is the best, as her intelligence will enable her to finish most of the quests in the game. Narg is a melee fighter, which is pretty ineffective since virtually all of the good weapons are ranged attacks. And Mingan, well...a thief-type is horrible at combat and really isn't great. The character included below can be considered a heavily modified Chitsa (I used that character as a base for this one).

Now, here are two very conspicious traits that need to be acknowledged, though they don't have a big impact on the game:

  1. Yes, in Fallout, you can choose whether to be female or male. For the most part, it really doesn't matter what your gender is, but there are subtle differences that will be taken in account:
    • Females
      • In the Den, females can screw a bartender in The Hole for $200. They can also screw Joey, the gangster, (though apparently for nothing). One major advantage is that females can screw Metzger to buy Vic for half the price.
      • In Modoc, females can marry either Miria or Davin.
      • In New Reno, females will have difficulty convincing Stuart to sign you up for the boxing championships. Also, females can screw T-Ray (the chop-shop mechanic) to get the car back (he'll steal it) and screw him again to get upgrades.
    • Males
      • In the Den, males can screw a prostitute, although they have to pay to get that service done.
      • In Modoc, males can only marry Miria.
      • In Vault City, it's possible to date Phyllis for experience. Males can also donate sperm to diversify the genetic base in Vault City.
      • In New Reno, males have to pay the car mechanics to get the car back without violence. In addition, males are able to screw Angela, bishop's daughter.
  2. Age will also have a slight bearing on what you'll be able to do and what you won't be. I haven't really had any problems with this, as this one is more so about personal preference.

Character sheet (used to beat the game):

Gender: Female
Age: 19 years 

Primary Skills      Traits         Tagged Skills
--------------      ------         --------------
Strength:     4     Gifted         Small Guns
Perception:   6     Small Frame    Melee Weapons
Endurance:    6                    Speech
Charisma:     8
Intelligence: 9
Agility:      10
Luck:         5

Now, here are details about each of the skills and, in some cases, will describe why the skill levels were chosen for this character.

Main skills

They're pretty self explanatory, but on the descriptions it tells what each skill modifies. All skills are important, but try to keep Luck, Strength, and Perception at least at 4. Characters with Intelligence values of three or less face a totally different game...the only options that you'll receive in dialogue are "Ruk" and "Eeg," as well as the occasional "Yah," "Uh-Huh," and "want morE." The average level for all skills is 5.

Strength
It modifies carry weight, hit points, weapon handling, and some weapon skills.
In this case, Strength is set at 4. The Power Armor will easily offset the penalty from having low strength.
Perception
It modifies some skills and increases accuracy at range.
A Perception of 6 will allow your character to shoot at decent range. If you take mentats, you will be able to get the Sniper perk later on.
Endurance
Toughness. It modifies some skills, hit points, and resistance to poison and radiation.
An Endurance of 6 was simply chosen to offset the hit point penalties incurred from the low strength.
Charisma
Looks. It modifies speech and barter, as well as NPC reactions. If you divide it by two and round down, that is the number of NPC's you can have. It decreases if you get second-level armor implants.
Having a Charisma of 8 will be beneficial for some dialogue options and will allow your character to have 4 NPC's. If you get armor implants, it'll go down to 7 or 6, which is still a respectable level.
Intelligence
It modifies dialogue options (gives you more), skill points given per level, and 'science' skills. High intelligence is important and will enable you to complete most of the game's quests.
An Intelligence of 9 won't give every dialogue option, but will be able (I think) to finish every quest available (although you'll have to repeat the game many many times; i.e., side with Hubologists in one game, the Shi in the other, etc.).
Agility
Speed. It modifies many skills, armor class, and action points. It is one of the most important combat skills.
An Agility of 10 will give you 10 action points, which in turn will enable you to shoot twice per round, up to 5 with the right perks and traits.
Luck
It modifies critical chance, some skills, and the outcome of the game.
A Luck of 5 was chosen - this is "neutral" and will buffer out most random encounters.

Secondary skills

Here is a list of other skills that you'll face. Whenever you create a character, you have to choose three tag skills. Tagging a secondary skill gives you an instant 20% bonus for that skill and 2% increase for each skill point used to increase the tag skill.

Small Guns
The use of rifles, pistols, and various small arms. Be sure to tag this one, since most combat will take place with small arms. This skill can be increased by reading the popular magazine 'Guns and Bullets.'
This skill was tagged because most of the game's more practical weapons are small guns. Small guns are composed of a very diverse group of guns, from the weak pipe-rifle (pea-shooter) as well as the extremely powerful G11E and M72 guns.
Big Guns
The use of miniguns, rocket launchers, and flamethrowers. This skill isn't that great because big guns are fairly easy to aim (with the given strength) and that some small arms are better than these large weapons. (And even then, energy weapons are better than all of these...) Don't tag this one, nor should you really consider building this skill. The only good guns in this selection include the Bozar, CZ53 "Avenger", and the Vindicator minigun.
Energy Weapons
The use of all weapons powered by power cells. This one is good in the endgame. The selection of Energy weapons includes the strongest single-shot weapon in the game, the YK42B Pulse Rifle.
Unarmed
The use of fists in combat. This skill helps early on, but it becomes pretty useless in the midgame. This is useful only in boxing rounds.
Melee Weapons
The use of knives, sledgehammers, spears, and the like.
I tagged this because the Super Sledgehammer can be found early on. It's light and insanely powerful, and can knock down enemies from a long distance.
Throwing
Use of throwing knives and grenades. Pretty useless, if you ask me. In the fist place, grenades are hard to find and second, even with something like 70% skill, grenades suffer from having a relatively low accuracy to hit your desired target. And grenades are quite expensive.
First Aid
Recovers a few hit points. You can increase this skill with first aid books. It is pretty useless to tag or to build since you can read books (and that First Aid kits increase your success with this skill.)
Doctor
Recovers a few more hit points than first aid and you can heal crippled limbs. I've healed crippled limbs with 45% skill, and a doctor's bag increases your chance of success with this skill. You should build this to 90% to research combat implants at Vault City.
Sneak
The art of moving around without making people notice. I really haven't found much use for this skill. You can ignore it. Even a low skill will enable you to assassinate the President in the end-game. *
Steal
Pretty self explanatory. I didn't have a need to steal from other characters, so I ignored it. And the chances of success are greatly enhanced from stealing from the back of the character. *
Lockpick
The art of picking locked doors. Now this is one thief-type skill that you should pay attention to. Work on this one and build it to about 65% or so. You won't have to run through the end-game maze with a skill of 85-90% as well as a decent traps skill.
NOTE: Using lockpicks increases skill by 25%. Using the upgraded lockpick sets will increase it even more.
Traps
The skill of arming explosives and disarming traps. Not too important; 50% is adequate for arming explosives and detecting a few traps. It's also enough to disarm the end-game maze doors.
Science
Covers primarily computers as well as biology, chemistry, physics, etc. It can be increased by reading 'The Big Book of Science.'
Repair
Covers standard repair techniques. Build to about 60%. It can be increased by using the tool as well as reading 'Dean's Electronics.'
NOTE: Using a tool increases skill by 25%. A Super Tool Kit will increase it even more.
Speech
The act of convincing others that you are right. This skill is second to small guns, and is extremely useful in bullshitting other people.
I tagged this one - it enables your character to convince others to do what you want. You can take a diplomatic end-game approach with this skill, and will allow you to complete a few quests.
Barter
This skill is used to determine trade prices. Unlike Fallout, where you would receive good prices, Fallout 2's bargains are worse - even if you raise the skill to insane levels you'll be hard-pressed to get good deals.
Gambling
Again, pretty self explanatory. There are more places to gamble and more things that require lots of money (compared to Fallout), so you might consider building it up. I passed it.
Outdoors
Practical knowledge of the outdoors. You can read Scout handbooks to raise this skill. This skill will determine, to a lesser extent, how far you can travel in a day and what random encounters you'll face.
  • One reader (Prisnr2436@aol.com) has said that he found the Sneak and Steal skills to be useful. He used the Sneak skill to open lockers that a person with low sneak would have difficulty opening (i.e., guards are around) and used the Steal skill to pilfer items from people (i.e., Bozars from the guards at NCR).


Derived statistics

Derived statistics are statistics that are a direct result of the main statistics, in other words, increase and decrease a skill and see what happens. NOTE: These are straight out from the Fallout manual.

Hit Points
The number of "life" points. If it goes to zero, so will you.
Formula : HP = 15 + (2 x EN) + ST. Average is 30.
Armor Class
The higher it is, the harder it is for the enemy to hit you.
Formula : AC = AG + Armor worn. Average is 5.
Action Points
Determines what you can do during combat. They are displayed by the green lights in combat.
Formula : AP = 0.5 x AG + 5. Average is 7.
Carry Weight
Mass of how much equipment you can carry, rated in pounds. You can barter for more equipment than you can carry.
Formula : 25 + (25 x ST). Average is 150 pounds.
Melee Damage
How much extra damage your character does in melee or unarmed attacks.
Formula : ST - 5, min.1. Average is 1.
Damage Threshold
How much damage your armor can withstand when you are hit.
Formula : DR = 0 + Armor
Damage Resistance
How much damage your armor can resist when you are hit. The value given in the character screen pertains to normal attacks, while the value given in the inventory screen pertains to different types of attacks, including normal but also explosive,fire, laser, and plasma to name some.
Formula : DR = 0% + Armor (Combat Armor has 40% DR)
NPC Slots
How many allied NPC characters that can be in your party.
Formula : NPCS = CH / 2, round down (A Charisma of 7 will give you 3 NPC slots). Average is 2 NPC slots.
Poison Resistance
How much poison damage that you can resist.
Formula : PR = 5 x EN. Average is 25%.
Radiation Resistance
How much radiation damage that you can resist. Radiation can affect any character, and the only way to get maximum resistance is using RadX.
Formula : RR = 2 x EN + Armor Resistance (Combat Armor has 30% Resistance). Average is 10%.
Sequence
Determines who will attack first in combat. Higher is better.
Formula : SQ = 2 x PE. Average is 10.
Healing Rate
How much you can heal in three hours of rest.
Formula : HR = 0.5 x EN, min.1. Average is 1.
Critical Chance
Chance of scoring a critical hit on the opponent. I think it increases up to 4 times with a hit to the eyes.
Formula : CC = LK. Average is 5%.
  • Poison is measured in units; keep it below 25.
  • Being 'raidiated' qualifies having a rem count of 75, with 300 or above being quite serious. A rem count of 5 or higher will bring symptoms of nausea; a rem count of 75 is quite serious, while a rem count of 300 or higher is fatal. If you have enough radiation in your body to necessiate attention, the message 'Radiation' will appear on the screen.

Traits

You can choose up to two traits. Traits have both good points and bad points. Be careful in choosing traits because after you select, there's no going back.Here is a list:

Fast Metabolism
Your body is much less resistant to poison and radiation, but it heals faster. Don't take this one: you'll want some poison resistance and you'll have to take two RadX's to get complete radiation resistance with or without this perk (unless you have the Rad Resistance perk or 10 endurance and Power Armor), and that there are plenty of stimpacks lying around. Don't take this one.
Bruiser
Your strength is increased by two but your actions points are decreased by two. Not a good one...you'll need all the action points that you have.
Small Frame
Your agility is increased by one but your carry weight drops by 30 pounds. It isn't too bad, but the carry weight decrease hurts in the beginning. It's worth it for the agility increase.
One Hander
You are good with one-handed weapons but are bad with two handed weapons. Not a good choice, since the best weapons are two handed.
Finesse
Your normal attacks do 30% less damage but your critical chance is increased by 10%. Not too bad of a tradeoff, but I didn't tag this one. And critical damage isn't affected.
Kamikaze
Depletes your armor class to what you are wearing but increases sequence by 5. It isn't that great because 6 perception is adequate enough for sequence.
Heavy Handed
Your melee damage is increased by 4 but criticals do 30% less damage. Good in the beginning, and criticals do heaps of damage anyway. But it isn't good in the end, where super mutants and deathclaws lurk around.
Fast Shot
You can't aim, but your total cost is decreased by one. It isn't a bad tradeoff if you have high critical chance, and is really really good if you take the perks 'Bonus Ranged Attack,' 'Sniper,' or 'Slayer.' The turbo plasma rifle will cost 2 AP's to shoot and the super sledgehammer will only cost 1 AP with those perks. Since most of the aforementioned perks come up in the end, it is good to pass this one by.
Bloody Mess
You will always see a grosteque death animation whenever you kill a critter. There really isn't a downside to this, so you can take this one if you want to.
Jinxed
Everybody makes more critical failures, but so do you! If you have 9 or 10 Luck, you'll make few critical failures. Only take it if you have 9 or 10 Luck. It happens a lot more to your enemies and NPC allies rather than yourself.
Good Natured
Your combat skills are decreased by 10%, but speech, doctor, science, etc. are increased by 15%. Not that great...you'll need high combat skills while 70% or so in the non-combat areas will let you go through the game easily.
Chem Reliant
Your addiction rate is increased by 200%, but your withdrawal rate is only 50%. Some drugs, like RadAway, have a 10% addiction rate and no withdrawal...so, it isn't worth it.
Chem Resistant
Your addiction rate is 50% of normal, but chems only last for half as long. Not too bad, since combat doesn't take a long time on the Fallout clock.
Sex Appeal
To NPC's of the opposite sex, your Charisma is increased by one. The inverse holds true for NPC's of the same sex.
Skilled
You get 5 extra skill points per level, but you get a perk every four levels. You'll want those perks as early as possible...they are quite useful. Pass this one on.
Gifted
All of your primary stats are increased by one, but you get 5 fewer skill points per level and your secondary skills are lowered by 10%. This is among the best traits, since there are only a few skills that you really need to work on.

Perks

At certain points in the game (after each 3rd level or 4th level with skilled) you will be able to pick a perk for your character. Perks are different than traits in that they only offer positive things; obviously, there are many useless perks and a select few that absolutely shine. After the detailed list of perks, a short list will follow that will include the "good" perks.

Note that there is a primary statistic level for most perks. You can take drugs (e.g., Mentats or Buffout) to get perks that you wouldn't normally get. This is especially useful for Sniper/Slayer as they have fairly high skill requirements.

  • Mr. Fixit

  • Thief

Other characters

I had a good time with the aforementioned character (used above). The list is a selection of other good characters:

Gun-Handling Diplomatic Sniper
ST 4, PE 6, EN 6, CH 7, IN 9, AG 10, LLK 5
Take Gifted, and tag Small Guns, Energy Weapons, and Speech. Be sure to work on Energy Weapons and Small Guns early on. Get the Power Armor early on as well, and in the Brotherhood bunker, get the Pulse Rifle and Pulse Pistol.
Rounded Sniper
ST 4, PE 6, EN 6, CH 8, IN 8, AG 10, LK 5
Take Gifted, and tag Small Guns, Speech, and Science. Work on Small Guns and build Speech to about 125% and Science to 150%. Get the Power Armor early on for this character.
Killer Sniper
ST 4, PE 8, EN 5, CH 7, IN 8, AG 10, LLK 5
Take Gifted, and tag Small Guns, Energy Weapons, and Melee Weapons. Again, get the Power Armor and the weapons cache early on. This character will be an absolute bastard in the end game and in combat, but will suffer slightly in diplomatic affairs and unarmed boxing.
Killer Sniper (second variant)
ST 6, PE 7, EN 6, CH 6, IN 7, AG 10, LLK 5
Same info as above but will not be dependent on Power Armor. However, you will need NPC's to survive early on - Sulik, Vic, and perhaps Cassidy. Getting the second level of the combat implants is not a good idea (as it will decrease your charisma).
