Fallout 4: discussion

[Komusō]

So with all the hype surrounding Fallout 4 I figured a thread might be in order! Feel free to share your favourite builds, maybe you have thought of something nobody else has?!

my character made love to a synth so I got much more out of the game than I ever expected.

I will not be going through my build in complete detail as I'm still in the process of playing it. I will however go through some of the basics of my build.

The Build I'm using I call "The Thief"

When I make Builds I do my best to come up with a good combination that does not apply points into the SPECIAL. That means what I start off with, I end with, with the exception of the SPECIAL book, and the Bobbleheads. Essentially I plan ahead with the Bobbleheads.

My Thief's starting points are

Strength 8
Perception 4
Endurance 1
Charisma 2
Intelligence 3
Agility 8
Luck 2

The SPECIAL book point goes into Perception. This means end game (level 50, that's as far as I calculate) I have...

Strength 9
Perception 6
Endurance 2
Charisma 3
Intelligence 4
Agility 9
Luck 3

My build will be concentrating on Infiltration, and taking. This means he'll hack into anything, lockpick anything, and pickpocket anything without being noticed.

My priority perks are Sneak, Locksmith, Hacker (Need the Bobblehead to get it), and Pickpocket.

As a thief he needs more weight to carry stuff so he'll get Strong Back 2 times. Lone Wanderer 3 times (Need Charisma Bobblehead).

Armorer is needed to upgrade the Leather armor for muffle, and Ultra Light. Forget Deep Pockets because you'll have plenty of weight anyways. Also you'll sneak better with Ultra Light than Deep Pockets. Your Legendaries should be Chameleon Armor. Look for Chameleon Leather for best results.

Now this build is normally a non combative build. Your objective is to not kill. This doesn't mean you can't fight. If you have to, fight, but your primary objective is to infiltrate, get what you need, and get out. He normally denies missions dedicated to kill but sometimes you'll have to (like the minutemen missions where you have to take out a type of raider). Your best missions are retrieval which are found within specific people of specific groups.

I did put ranks into Ninja, Mister Sandman. Why you may ask? Because even though you don't kill humans you have nothing against feral ghouls, and other creatures including Super Mutants. Basically if it's not a Human and a Ghoul everything else is fair game, though it's pretty cool to actually silently move around these. Hell once you get to level 17 where you can get pickpocket 3 there's no need to kill legendaries. Just sneak up to them, jack the legendary on them and get out before they notice you.

Believe it or not, a lot of your XP will be gained through finishing missions, and Charisma Checks. You may ask "How can I pass Charisma Checks if I have such low Charisma?" Easy. You see, the Thief doesn't always wear his Thief getup all the time. When he's out trying to get stuff for his pockets he normally wears Army Fatigues, All black leather armor, a green hood, and a Gunner Green mask. The Fatigues give him a +1 to Strength adding to his loot count. It also blends really well. When he's in towns however, he looks like a business man. He wears a clean black suit, a formal hat, and Black-rim glasses. The Clean Suit gives +2 to Charisma, the Formal hat gives +1, and the Black-Rim glasses gives +1. This plus some Grape Mentats that give +5, you'll be charming everyone you talk to.

There is more too this build but I don't want to keep going. I have combinations, and other things I can apply to this build making it better, including taking out large quantities of enemies without having to kill one of them.

That's it, I hope you guys like it.
