Playing Fallout 2 for the first time
rate my character build

You are going to trip on a shotgun and blow your brains out in the first 2 hours. Luck and agi are more important in those games.

Play fallout 1 first

it's like you're really retarded anon
>>344344870
It's a great build
>tagging outdoorsman at all
>tagging doctor at all
>charisma at anything but 1
>most important stat at 3
I'd call you an FO4 babby but that game didn't even have stats :^)
>>344344870
>Agility 3
At least you have the foresight to realize that agility is objectively the most useless stat in the game. Seriously all it does is give you an extra hit percentage each level, so it's basically 1 extra hit chance or 10. Fucking horrible.

>having low charisma
>being ugly
baka
>>344347467
>implying being ugly matters when you're going to be wearing a helmet 99% of the time
>>344347881
>not taking your helmet off in the middle of civilization
Seriously who the fuck wears their armor 24/7 even when just taking a casual stroll?
It's been a while since I played 2. Did they get around to fixing the crit system that absolutely ruined 1?
>>344348201
>not showing off your badass armor to the wretched plebs
>>344348506
No.
In fact, abusing it is the only way to finish the game on a combat-run. You either eye-shot with gauss weapons or you die.

Lovely. So my heavily armored party can still get one-shotted by an angry super mutant?
>>344349062

>not concealing your power level
No one will suspect a random charming vagabond to be one of the most powerful warriors in the wastelands.

>Fallout 2
put it RIGHT IN THE FUCKING GARBAGE
GET RID OF IT RIGHT FUCKING NOW
I liked FO3 and thought it was a great effort.
>>344348506
Yeah they did. There are still crits but no more insane 300 damage insta kills.
>>344349909
this. the game is terribly outdated.
>>344351432
I agree it's the current year. RPG elements and player freedom are too videogamey.
>>344351432
Outdated? Nah, it's just fucking garbage.
Play Fallout 1 instead.
>>344351641
>Play Fallout 1 instead.
I'm playing fallout 1 now, what's so bad about the second one?
>>344351641
Fallout 2 is better in every aspect except story and has double the content.
>>344351578
>implying there is a lot of freedom with picking stats
if you don't pick a certain amount of agility you get fucked immediately.
>>344351720
Fallout 1 respects your time and respects your intelligence.
It does not give you a dumbass tutorial to do, it does not blather on in exposition when you first start playing, it does not spam you with ancient memes.
>>344352650
It also doesn't let you be a porn star mafia enforcer
>>344352810
xD so wacky xDxD i LUVVVV FO2!!!!!
>>344344870
>Get 60% of AP from 30% of investment
Not bad.
>>344352879
Predictable response. There's no real reason to dislike Fallout 2, it's superficially different from the first game. Both are some of the best role playing games ever made.
>>344349402
Yeah please tell me more about how well those non armor-piercing weapons work on enclave armor
>>344352980
>There's no real reason to dislike Fallout 2
Except for the reasons, I provided, sure.
The gameplay is fundamentally the same.
>>344344870
Contrary to what fallout 3 may lead to believe. The original fallouts are not a cakewalk. If you choose the wrong build and you don't know what you're doing you can easily fuck yourself and get punished hard. I know it's not a very role play-ish thing to say but I recommend doing a more combat or high speech oriented build for a first playthrough with high agility, at least 5 or more inteligence and a decent amount of luck. All else is good, though i would change that outdoorsman to speech or maybe lockpick. Also you don't want jinxed for a first playthrough, it will end up being more frustatring than funny for you. Fast shot, gifted or small frame are all viable options to your build i guess. Maybe finesse if you make your luck higher. Also your strength don't need to be that high for small guns, drop that to five and put those points on agility. Actually put your agility on at least 8. You can drop charisma to like 4 which give the ability to take two companions which is more than enough. That's all I think. Doctor is fine but it's not that useful to be honest. Don't forget to cure Bess.
>>344348506
Yes, but you can add it back in if you get restoration mod which gives every enemy in the game AP ammo and like 25% critical chance.
Endgame is a fuck fest though since you are carrying the same gear as everyone else. You're not supposed to just retard strength through everything.
>FO2 where everyone plays AGI/INT builds
So boring
I've beaten both 1 and 2 with builds using low AGI, and some other assorted fucked up things, just because I used to play not knowing about the "meta". You just have to be a little patient and play smart. Even knowing about how powerful some things like AGI are I don't care to make every character like that. Literally click the things you'll think will work for the kind of character you want, whether it's sneaky thief guy or sniper guy or big bruiser guy or anything else and roll with it. You have to try really hard to make an impossible build.
Don't listen to anyone, the fun of the game is going through the game with the character you made while experiencing your own little journey.
Guides and tips ruin that.
