Fallout: New Vegas/S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

Strength

Strength will tell you how easily a cowboy totes his saddle and those bigger firearms, or how much help he's gonna be for ya in a saloon brawl.

Strength affects the melee skill of Melee Weapons, and also your skill in pugilism. It is also the skill for how much salvage you can carry on your prospecting runs. If you plan on packing a lot of gear, don't want to make too many trips just to sell and offload stuff then this is an extremely valuable attribute to have. Remember that in Hardcore mode, ammo has weight, so keep that in your mind when planning your character out.
