Title: Newbie needs a build
Post by: Vandal on January 09, 2011, 12:02:56 pm

Hi all, I'm new to this game so I'm looking for some character build, I mean i played fallout 1 & 2 and I'm huge fan but I never played online.

Any suggestions and examples are welcome

Here. Cheap, selfsufficient, can carry a lot, craft and repair things, depending on professions you will buy. Not good in combat however, but combat chars look different anyway.

Build includes traits, perks and (you won't belive it!  ;D ) skills. Better plan you character completely. Saves a lot of time.

okay i took char "BG tough" from that link . and there was tagged repair that means if i skill up science i can craft big guns and ammo?

Title: Re: Newbie needs a build
Post by: Y0ssarian on January 12, 2011, 11:21:29 am

You should experiment with your own builds.

Title: Re: Newbie needs a build
Post by: Vandal on January 12, 2011, 04:33:00 pm

Is it possible when the next level comes there will be Bonus rate of fire perk but i have agility 6 so if i use some drugs  to boost up agility and while im having agility 7 the perk will still be there or is it counting just from general agility?

Edit: and one more question... fast shot trait will it be fixed in future?

Title: Re: Newbie needs a build
Post by: Doctor Eex on January 12, 2011, 05:41:26 pm

Only basic parametrs are checked for perks. Drugs won't help.

Fast Shot fixed? What do you mean?

Title: Re: Newbie needs a build
Post by: Wichura on January 12, 2011, 06:25:59 pm

Drugs don't affect perks availability.

Fast Shot doesn't affect burst mode, it's intended.

Title: Re: Newbie needs a build
Post by: Vandal on January 12, 2011, 06:35:59 pm

I thought they will fix it in future so it will work.

Is it possible to increase % of some skills after level 21?

Title: Re: Newbie needs a build
Post by: White Eagle on January 15, 2011, 10:26:15 am

No

Title: Re: Newbie needs a build
Post by: Vandal on January 15, 2011, 11:43:59 am

So if i'm missing about 10% of repair to get level 3 amorer from NPC i cant do anything about that?

Title: Re: Newbie needs a build
Post by: White Eagle on January 15, 2011, 11:52:26 am

yes, you can do nothing

thats why before you create your char use/read this  click (http://www.nitue.net/fcp/)  and this  click (http://www.fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/Profession:_Armorer)   and then you can start building your char..

Title: Re: Newbie needs a build
Post by: Vandal on January 15, 2011, 12:01:31 pm

okay just wanted to be sure, and one more thing, if im missing one agility to get profession lvl3 big guns crafting can i use nuca cola to raise it by one and then speak with NPC?

Title: Re: Newbie needs a build
Post by: Crazy on January 15, 2011, 12:10:45 pm

Yes you can.

Title: Re: Newbie needs a build
Post by: Wichura on January 15, 2011, 01:51:48 pm

You can make an alt for that.

No, you can't do single crap with developing your char after 21 level.

Title: Re: Newbie needs a build
Post by: drypoothe on January 15, 2011, 03:18:17 pm

regarding the % for the job, remember that some SPECIAL (for repair it's IN) increase the % of the skill

How to increase reputation with Gunrunners?

Title: Re: Newbie needs a build
Post by: Y0ssarian on January 21, 2011, 10:36:55 am

Sell them stuff on trade runs... me thinks.

Also joining BoS/VC will boost your rep with them some.
