Before you start playing you might want to think bout what role you want to play. For instance I am a crafter that makes armor with a build of 7 STR, 5 PE, 5 EN, 5CH, 10 INT, 6 AG and 5 luck. this is about as crafter as you can go but it really depends on how you want to play. For you it might be a combat build or cross between both. There are many options and paths to choose even being a good doctor could be rewording. My suggestion would be to look at http://www.fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/Main_Page (http://www.fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/Main_Page) and choose what is best suited to your game play style.

Never carry important items while in town! Sometimes i dont even bring my armor. If you really have to bring some important items (eg caps) keep 'em in your hands.
Build your tent in a location where you can find resources easily (eg near a ruin, so you can find junk, wood, and sometimes fibers and fruits).
Never piss off someone with a plasma rifle.
Rember to carry LOTS of ammo. LOTS of LOTS. Atleast when you plan a few fights.
Outdoorsman is very important, so rember to raise it atleast in the first levels.
In general, TRUST NOBODY. NOT EVEN ME!

7 STR, 5 PE, 5 EN, 5CH, 10 INT, 6 AG and 5 luck.

no. (use the FCP to make sure you have a perfect build and remebr to ask for help) Victis, just so you know drugs can be taken to get your profs.
Also, 5 end is the same as 4 end, make sure end is always a even number, also 3 ch not 5, also 6 luck for perks or 1 luck.
You CAN make good PVE/ TB PVP builds that can craft.
just simple stuff, read the wiki before you make a build bla bla.
 
Go on IRC, ask for a good build for what you want to be, i suggest sg sniper because SG guns are plenty and easier on ammo.
You dont need to craft, waste of time. although if you afford the special point maybe think about Int 7, with this + mentats you can get doctor 3 and make drugs.
Profitable and handy for personal use.

Hope thats helpful, just play you will learn then after wipe you will be pro.
