Yeah I know, I've been being guided by an 'oldfag' player so I'm not making stupid choices anymore. And plus making those characters has helped me tweak out a good heavy energy weapons build.

much disrespect.

you need to approach this game like a modified Nietzsche.
that is to say "everything that kills you, should make you stronger". A characters death is never wasted if it teaches you a lesson. If something doesn't work then you need to change your tactic.
But almost more importantly I disagree that the game gets good once you stop caring about your items. Think of your items more like chips and the wasteland as a craps table. You need to care about your chips to some degree if there is going to a thrill to your risks, the higher the stakes the better the thrill but at the same time never bet more than you can afford as you don't want to break the bank :)
imho the thrill is whats important, If you play for the thrill then you will enjoy both winning and losing (admittedly winning will still be better) but while playing without caring might mean you will never be frustrated, whats the point of playing something that you have absolutely no emotion towards?

Amen to that train of thought!
