Hey guys what kind of character are you planning to do?

I'm willing to start with some kind of sniper with a lot of crit and VATS action points.

Basically, that will be my start:
Perception: 8
Agility : 7
Luck: 8
Intel: 2
All the rest: 1

Here's how you can build your character:
http://www.rpg-gaming.com/fo4.html

So what stats are the most important for you?

Tinkerer/Mad Scientist/Tony Stark

Imagine that scene in iron man 3 where Tony breaks into the mandarin's mansion and takes everyone out with hi tech stuff he built on the fly.

S 4
P 5
E 1
C 4
I 10
A 3
L 1

I don't know if I need to swap C, E, L, or P a little. I might just take nerd rage to make up for the low E.
>>
>>315560583
You're going to want enough E to at least get life giver imo.
Keep Int at 9 and just get the bobblehead for a free point.
>>
>>315559391
>Hey guys what kind of character are you planning to do?
A demigod with all 10s in special and all the perks.

Not really possible to play it any other way, every character will end up like this, just like in 3.
>>
Seeing as Vats are entirely useless, there is only 4 dialog options, and every weapon has a melee attack.
S 4
P 10
E 10
C 1
I 1
A 1
L 1

Because Strength is only needed to hold the gun and C,I,A,L are useless in this game now since it is entirely a FPS.

Eh, I like the idea of being squishy when outside of my armor so I have to rely on sneak (A 3).

Maybe use non automatic rifle and pistols when out of power armor and heavy weapons and melee when in armor. Also sneaking around planting explosives, hacking turrets, hacking robots when naked.
>>
Strength - 3
Perception - 5
Endurance - 3
Charisma - 6
Intelligence - 3
Agility - 4
Luck - 4

I'm still messing around with it, but my idea is to have a smooth talking Doc holliday/Roland character who is good with revolvers and rifles. No energy weapons.
>>
Any word on the leaks if starting with high INT gives you more skill points? I notice it says INT affects experience gain so I'm wondering if its the same or similar as 3 and NV were?

Starting with high INT in those gives you tons of extra skill points over the span of a playthrough..

There are no skills in FO4 and thus, no skill points.

Mostly a single shot rifle sneak asshole, but he can use nearly all small guns.

S - 3 (armor mods)
P - 4 (lockpicking)
E - 1 (toughness/fuck endurance)
C - 5 (lone wanderer, 1 point off making a town)
I - 5 (hacking, salvaging items, 1 point off high tech mods)
A - 7 (stealth crits)
L - 3 (bloody mess)

Bobbleheads should get me those two things I'm one point off of. They're things I don't want to do until later in the game. The only thing I'm kind of far away from that I want is 6 luck for better criticals.

Charisma is only useless nowadays because devs no longer care about making a fucking RPG something that you can role play in. It's all about voice acting, shitty dialogue wheels and the idea that stats alone make an rpg.
>>
>>315565312
I would say something along the lines of
S = 3
P = 6
E = 3
C = 6
I = 6
A = 3
L = 1
for a energy based Sneaking thief with access to all the new shit available in the game.

Besides making melee weapons. But with each level you can put a point in either a Perk or a Stat so you can later put a point in a perk from the stat.

People thinking end game would be a character with 10's in all stats is stupid.
Highly doubt the level cap isn't at the very most 100. Making anyone who specialized better than anyone who wanted 10s.
>>
Assuming I get all the bobbleheads, so I'll start with:
S - 9 - Pain Train baby
P - 1
E - 6 - Adamantium skeleton
C - 1
I - 1
A - 8 - Moving target, Blitz
L - 2 - Bloody Mess

Only using AP for sprinting and Blitz --> Pain Train and smash everything into a bloody mess.

What do you mean by bobble heads?
>>
S2 P8 E2 C3 I4 A7 L9

Armorer?

Pickpocket 4
Rifleman 5
Locksmith 3
Sniper 3

Lone wanderer 3

Gun nut 4
Hacker 3

Sneak?
mister sandman?
Ninja 3

Bloody mess 3
Better criticals 3
Critical banker 3
Grim reapers sprint 3
Four leaf clover 4

This uses bobbleheads, maximizes sniper rifle damage through general, sniper, non automatic, sneak and crit damage bonuses. It also boosts crit regen and utility. The perks with ? are trade ups depending on game mechanics, sandman gets dropped if snipers cant be silenced or silencing drops damage too low, sneak is ignored if base values are high enough and a bonus point goes to ST to get armorer as a back up.

This assumes a level of 50 with no perks swapped for stats, however there is no level cap so eventually you can have 10 in all stats and all perks filled.

I always play sneaky sniper first. My second play would likely be a ST/IN build for Power armor synergy.

You don't get skill points anymore
Every level gets you 1 point to put in a SPECIAL stat or a perk tied to the amount of a SPECIAL stat you have.
Perks have multiple ranks and Pick pocketing hacking and lock picking are now perks.
Perks in which you don't have access to put points in until you reach level 2.
So regardless of how awesome your stats are. You can't hack steal pickpocket or anything like a skill until you level up and put a point in the perk.

Almost all the perks are nothing but percentage increases of an original perk. It's an illusion of quantity when it's just the same shit over and over. New Vegas had more perks AND had skills.

i don't know what the total number of points available is, but it'll be something like that. luck builds are fun as fuck, i'll probably go with some sort of ranged build with something to compensate for when i'm forced into close range.
>>
>>315577749
Skills were always a waste though, it only encouraged absolute precision when it came to your INT stat. Every play through I had to precisely calculate what my INT should be in order to maximize what skills I wanted by what level (assuming I would not max out, which I never did) and accounting for bobbles, skill books, etc. My F3 start was basically beelining for the Int bobble before even engaging in the open world.

Taking skills out of the equation means people are free to actually do more varied stat builds. Just look at the thread. There's even support in the Luck tree for lowering Int!

You also need to account for multiple perks being present in the upgrades for these perks - there are at least 4 of New Vegas' perks in F4's sneak perks, for example.

I never had to do any of that and I got what the perks I wanted just fine. If you found skill point management to be hard then you are the exact reason the system is casualized.
>>
>>315578416
I did not say it was hard, I implied it was *limiting*, because it is. Your build in 3 & NV, if you were min-maxing (i.e. NOT being a casual like you just implied), depended first and foremost on the INT you would spend in order to raise your skills.

The new system is even more limiting. It relies on SPECIAL, where certain points negate all others, and most perks are the same as the last but with a slightly bigger percentage.

Most Perks in Fallout had nothing to do with boosting a skill or a stat.
They added new options for dialog or new ways to kill things or random events happening.
The no skill system crams only 70 perks into the game. 30% of which are just skills you had in the other games and generic stat or damage/defensive increases.
Nothing unique.
FO3 and NV had well over 100 perks.

You need 4 int for hacking, and 5 for salvaging items to have enough materials to reliably craft what you want. And if an energy sniper is better than a conventional sniper you'll need 6 to mod it.

Two points in Charisma is all you need since the speech enhancer is 2 C and barther 1 C
Further down the Charisma line in terms of stat points you can get the ability to control trade routes between settlements.

>>315582201
If you go lone wanderer you get +100 carry weight. It also gives you +25% damage letting you one shot things more reliably. Going past Armorer on a gun build is a bad idea.
Ninja and Better Criticals should stack as that interaction worked in other games.
Because of bobbleheads you can cut about one point of something you don't want until later in the game like Energy Weapon modifications.

You don't get the perks in the stats if you have the stat that high of a number.
They just give you the ability to put a point in those Perks.
The Most of the Perks can have multiple points in them.
Simply having level 10 intelligence doesn't automatically grant you all of it's perks when you start the game.
Every level gives you a point you can spend on either increasing 1 stat or increasing the rank of a perk you meet the requirements for.
Also Bobble Heads exist so being one point off is pretty much what you want.

So, out of the 70 perks, only 21 of them are either entirely % increases, chance based, or passive.

I didnt count any perk that was mainly passive, but granted an active or ability/skill within one of its ranks as being in the above category since that seems foolish.

Take of that what you will, not saying this system is better or worse, just for your consideration.

Less than 10, more than 8. What's so difficult about this?
