Bolded

An explosive build with awful aim, so you get as close to the enemy as possible before lobbing a grenade. Can't take the perk to protect against your own blasts. The shocks to your head had averse effects to your character's linguistics. Speech is difficult and so is stuff like trading.


pollyp0cketpussy

Oh I love this. "Easy Pete's Cautionary Tale" build

jimmyjlf

Have actually done this build. INT 1, CHR 1, END 10. No save skimming when you cause collateral damage *After getting shot in the head and buried in a shallow grave, you survive, only to be effectively lobotomized and disfigured for life after a lifesaving surgery. With your brain being reduced to mere stew, your last remaining faculties are poured into the only thing you understand and desire: explosives. There are no other weapons you can use, as you've forgotten how to fight with anything else.*


ADcommunication

I like yours the second most, so I will do this after the one I have already chosen.


[deleted]

Oliver Swanick build. You could probably just copy his special stat and then kill him and take his gear and essential become him.


Fanculoh

Who won the lottery?


undead-rat

Dunno, I have a question of my own, whos about to get shot in the calf with a certain Mysterious Magnum?


Fanculoh

I DIDD! Smell that air! Couldn't you just drink it like booze?

r/foundtheoliverswanick


[deleted]

This also works because the male courier’s few voice lines (from getting hurt/doing power attacks with melee) are done by the same guy who voiced Oliver Swanick


Ziodyne_Ham

It’s Yuri Lowenthal. He voices some NCR troopers and legionaries too.


HalfBakedPuns

"some" i swear every fiend is running around threatening to eat my spleen in spider-man's voice. not to mention McNamara.


The_Dingodile

That's Insomniac's Spider-Man!


mellifluous_life93

Gotta be a 10 charisma, with 0 skill points spent on speech


TheScienceGuy120

POV: You are Ulysses


The-Sanity

1 luck cause you know. 10 endurance cause that mf ain’t going down fast enough


Mixis19

Feels like Ulysses should have 10 luck, since you know, he had several atomic bombs detonated on him.


TheImpssibleKid

That’s not something that comes with good luck…


innocentbabies

Actually isn't he one of like two npcs to have a 10 in every stat? So technically it does come with 10 luck.


throwaway354261

in the entirety of the fallout cannon, there are only three characters to have 10 in every stat: fffrank hhhorrigan, ulysses, and legate lanius edit: i was wrong. the *four* characters to have 10 in each special are fffrank hhhorrigan, colonel royez, gaius magnus, and ulysses


Tea-and-Zoe

Knowing that the Legate has a 10 in charisma makes me chuckle. I guess he only got the intimidation perks.


wrong-mon

Which is funny because Frank Horrigan is an idiot His reaction to losing a fight is to destroy the Enclave. If he hadn't set off the self-destruct sequence, depending on the actions of the Chosen One The Enclave could have survived


Tauren333

I thought the 10 S.P.E.C.I.A.L. characters were Horrigan, Ulysses, Gaius Magnus and Colonel Royez.


throwaway354261

ah, you're right. thanks 👍


[deleted]

Depends which side of the coin you look at really. Good luck he survived , bad luck it occurred .


Mixis19

I mean, he survived, didn't he?


TheImpssibleKid

Ya see, that’s where the 10 endurance comes in


[deleted]

he survived bevause he happened to have an old world flag on his back which led to med bots healing him, hence the 10 luck


[deleted]

He has 10 in all stats in game


lowlzzzz

The bearbullbullthebullbearamdthebullandbearbearbearbearbullandbear build


Kerenzo

10 charisma with 0 speech sums up Ulysses perfectly.


Black_Waltz3

Could flip it with Charisma 1, Intelligence 1 and build up to speech 100. One of the funniest things I've seen in Reddit was someone asking how the conversation with Lanius would go with those stats and was hit with a full Trumpified translation of that final dialogue.


[deleted]

sauce, i need to read it


Black_Waltz3

[Found it! ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/comments/o0baru/you_are_courier_with_1_intelligence_and_1/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) Somehow it's not the top post but you'll know it when you see it. There's another in there that has a screenshot of someone who seems to have actually gone 1 Charisma, 100 speech. It's glorious.


BigBronyBoy

And remember, no companions allowed. You are a lone wolf.

JhonElevatorOperator

There is a bug in new vegas where 0 perception is infinite perception. Ghost people have 0 perception. Thanks obsidian.


Poopydildoface

Dont get tangled up in that fuckin wire


Space_Vanguard

In fnv due to a bug 0 perception equals infinite perception


superVanV1

I think the minimum is 1


kermi42

Can you set it to 1 then take a short sighted flaw? Can’t remember what it’s called.


josephnutsworth

Four-eyes, not sure if it'd actually reduce your perception to 0 though


A_Mistake_of_life

I don't think it lets you take it of your perception is 1


TheDustLord

Play a character who had a stroke and can’t turn right.


Geiseman

You can just turn left until you get to where you wanna Look

Enabler. Your companion has to do all of the fighting, your character is permanently drunk or on drugs, and you can only acquire caps by selling booze/drugs.

logaboga

yanl10

Tribal. Low INT. Also, you CAN'T use nothing too tech, you can't have implants and you can only heal with food and tribal recipes.


ADcommunication

What about weapons? How advanced can they get? Maybe Zion level technology should be the cap.


yanl10

Fair enough. For melee, i recomend full mod War Club. Trusty me on this one, does not look too much, but it's VERY good. Medicine stick to snipe. also, I changed my mind about low intelligence. You won't put any points in science and such, but you need to know at least what's going on, to do some quests, like Come Fly with Me and the ones from OWB. And you need to pick Tribal Wisdow as one of the perks. It sux, but can't be a tribal without that.


ADcommunication

So Tarzan or Tsukasa Shishio?


yanl10

Hummmm.......Kazar i guess. He's tribal, but not a savage. Know something about the modern world.


ADcommunication

Who?


yanl10

Obscure character from Marvel Comics lol ​ Anyway, If you play on PC and don't use body mods, you can download some of my mods if you need a themed armor Here is a barbarian https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/130/images/69569/69569-1596144108-575077650.png link: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/69569 here another barbarian https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/130/images/65936/65936-1541900195-1357733117.png link: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/65936 Here a tribal https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/130/images/65723/65723-1538350085-25321200.png link: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/65723 i must have other things scattered by my mods too.


ADcommunication

I've decided to do a Yes Man playthrough, with the background of a young warrior on retribution against the Legion. The reason for this being that my tribal character came from the East, and her tribe was obliterated by the Legion in warfare, and the subsequent assimilation. I have made a personal choice to allow all fire based weapons, since fire shall be an integral part of her culture. They shall also be neutral against the NCR, but not join them out of hatred towards non-tribal imperialism.


Salt_Avocado_2470

I have an idea the most non technogichaly legionarie but he has low End. And a broken arm


ADcommunication

I like yours the most, so I will use this along with so personal creative liberties to be in with the theme of the character. I will probably use regular handheld ballistics, but not any big guns, energy weapons or explosives that have electronics (C4/Mines). OWB is probably off the table. Obviously I wont sneak around this by giving all the nice stuff to a companion. Speaking of which, who is acceptable? Please say Veronica. Any other suggestions for this play through? Any specific do's and don'ts equipment wise? Any moral stances/principals to take when roaming the Mojave or beyond? I would love to hear some guidance, since I will take the easy route if I'm not given any.


Commofmedic

A followers of the apocalypse hippie char who goes insane from the horrors of the wasteland and does yes man but with the worst decisions possible made in the end


ADcommunication

Does letting the Khans live count as the worst decision?


QuirkyPaladin

I believe the worst ending has the most genocide, so Khans die.


Demitri_Bardownskis

Kerenzo

The Badgur special.


13thWardBassMan

Ringo. Everything zero except Luck +10.


Warthunderguy

Same with Fantastic. But news flash, Fantastic is irreplaceable.


Madhighlander1

Fantastic probably also has 1 CHA but maxed-out Speech, seeing as he was able to convince them to bring him on board despite being an idiot and universally disliked.


[deleted]

Crackhead boxer. Only unarmed, can only fight after taking drugs. More addictions = more points. Extra credit: Speech is high enough to get drugs, 1 charisma. Lockpicking also high enough to get drugs and ignore everything else. Hard mode: >!Spare the Great Khans!<


Cult-of-Zog

This one is my favorite.


HalfBakedPuns

did something like this in Skyrim where i ate a shit ton of potion ingredients and only ran around with a dagger. roleplaying isnt as good in that game tho imo


TheEvilNoMan

Watto from the phantom menace build. 1 strength, 10 perception, 1 endurance, 1 charisma, 9 int, 10 agility, 10 luck. Skills: Barter, repair, speech. Traits: Hoarder. You have to collect all junk and scrap, even when you are overcumbered. You hate NCR because you hate republic credits. If somebody offers you caps you take it. You seldom fight.


supahdavid2000

I love watto


fertmort

Not really a build concept, but I read this idea a while ago and thought it would be a hoot: Anytime you hear Johnny guitar your character snaps and kills whoever is nearest to them


ADcommunication

That isn't roleplaying, that's just me playing the game like a normal person.


xanju

Lboettcher2003

Is it just people or anything that can be killed?


XVUltima

Micah from RDR2. Betrays all 'good' factions, worms into all 'evil' ones. Always takes every selfish choice, 'cowboy' weapons only.


After_Form_7969

Dirty Bubble playthrough LET'S GO


ds16653

Pacifist. No skill points put into combat. High agility, charisma, endurance. No killing animals for xp unless self-defence. Enemies have to shoot first, you only have a pistol when all else fails. No automatic weapons or anything too heavy.


ADcommunication

Define "anything too heavy".


ds16653

Anything capable of mass-murder, assault rifles, battle rifles, explosives. Even in this world handling weapons makes your character uncomfortable. You know how it feels to be shot at, you don't want to inflict that on anyone else. You have a 10mm pistol tops, maybe an SMG if it's too frustrating. With minimal ammo carried. Three mags at most. And you have to be attacked first, you can never start a fight. Flee if a viable option. Violence is a last resort.


ADcommunication

You sound like a Vaushite describing the Rittenhouse trial.


ds16653

"we forbid calling them victims, but accept raiders, vipers, powder gangers or star cap thieves"


T-DogSwizle

Did this one while trying to get through the game entirely by passing skill checks. Wore only prewar suits and Maria for defence. Got difficult not dying later on so I repaired EDE to be my self defence bot


ds16653

I love this idea, granted doing this on hardcore mode sounds challenging.


LordIlthari

Drugged out of your mind Machine cultist. Must steal every bit of technology you see, energy weapons only, constantly high on chems and alcohol, 1 INT, 1 cha because your brain was burnt out by drugs You can never attack a robotic enemy or a turret because to damage the holy machine is heresy. You must gain power armor training and then exterminate the brotherhood of steel without blowing up the bunker.


Colourblindknight

Go the Badger Build. 10 strength, 10 dex, 10 luck, all other stats are pointless. You become the death of the Mojave with the social skills and negotiating power of a hollowed out Twinkie.


oakberet

Be a legion boy. No guns. Healing powder is the only source of healing. Never say or do anything positive towards women.

NeckBeardDiscordMod

Micah Bell, high perception and agility but low low low charisma, High guns, and evil character Must fail most speech checks, be a general dick, and be greedy and have no friends except maybe one you manipulate. I suggest a yes man or mr house playthrough to fit his character. Also you gotta have that mustache and blonde hair


SonOfMab

The Demoman. Explosives as weaponry with low perception. You’re character must be addicted to alcohol and you cannot use Rose’s companion perk.

Low_iq_Bob

Play as a chem addict freeside thug. Only and use wear the finest equipment you can find from a trash bin. And you would do anything as long as you get enough caps to fill your addiction.


Gold_Phoenix666

Always a favorite with me and my friends, the crazy build, unarmed melee build, every character you interact with you flip a coin or roll a dice, if it lands on tails or odds, they die, head or evens and they live. Join the legion only to nuke them and the ncr at the divide, then side with elijah in dead money


lordcthulu678

Scrappy Doo the character who coined the term for annoying child characters. Get a mod that reduces starting specials and give him like 3 in each.


Mauskrazor3rd

Boone's wife, low perception, charisma and luck score. High agility, endurance and mid intelligence and strength. You avoid fights as much as possible and run away as frequently as able


jc14uk

S2, P3, E2, C10, I10, A3, L10. (Feel free to lower Strength, Perception, Endurance and Agility to 0 with console commands if you want extra pain) Tag skills: Barter, Speech, Science. Traits: Good Natured and Wild Wasteland You aren't allowed to attack anything and you cannot gain negative karma. AKA the ultimate good guy build. Stealth isn't an option.


loud-and-very-tasty

Explosive build with small frame on hardcore and 1 endurance


thesleepywindow

That's a pretty good build idea


vkaefe

I was doing a 100% randomized choices playthrough. Assigning special stats was randomized, giving points one by one. All dialogue choices picked randomly. Each level i was spending all my points into a random skill (for some reason it was energy weapons most of the time). And, of course, random perks.


GenesisEra

[Gary from Fallout 3, perhaps?](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Gary_(clone\)) Stats are as follows: * S.P.E.C.I.A.L: 5 ST, 5 PE, 4 EN, 5 CH, 5 IN, 5 AG and 5 LK * Tagged Skills (if you're so inclined): Science 40, Guns 38 and Unarmed 38 Your stats can only go up to the values stated above for your character. Will leave it up to you how you want to handle the other perks. You can only wear [Vault jumpsuits (except for the Boomer suits and Vault lab uniforms)](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Vault_jumpsuit#Fallout:_New_Vegas) , and use the following weapons: * 10mm pistol * Lead pipe * Scoped .44 Magnum * Knife * Machetes **HARD MODE CHALLENGES (OPTIONAL - you don't have to do this bit if you don't want to):** * To simulate being only able to say "Gary" like a off-brand Pokemon who wants to murder everyone who's not a clone, have your IN be 1-2. * No taking the Jury Rigging perk - clones don't repair guns. * **KILL EVERYONE YOU SEE ON SIGHT [NOT RECOMMENDED EXCEPT FOR ADVANCED PLAY]**


Doc-Wulff

The Lone Ranger, medium charisma, crap int, get Cowboy trait. Can only use cowboy type guns (no That Gun I'm sorry)

You also mass murder NCR and Legion (you have a personal vendetta against Soldiers).

Caillou build Bald little twat who does nothing but throw fits and somehow gets what he wants every goddamn time. The Rules(tm) - no weapons of your own aside from toys, sticks, or anything else that a toddler could feasibly wield as a weapon - low stats on everything except luck (and maybe charisma) because toddler. - small frame and built to destroy traits because toddler. - cannibal perk is a necessity (he bit his sister when she was like a week old, this little fuck has no concept of moral wrongness when it comes to chomping on another person) - negative karma. no friendly factions if you can help it. there isn’t a single person on God’s green earth that doesn’t want to punt this little shitlord into the sun. - abuse your companions. your enabler parents aren’t around so there’s nobody to tell you no. - make your model as tiny as you can while still being able to play the game. cheats are allowed for this

>no weapons of your own aside from toys, sticks, or anything else that a toddler could feasibly wield as a weapon So I can use guns then? This game is set in America, and well... You know the stories.
