Character creation (Fallout 3)



A character build is any one of thousands of possible fallout 3 maxed level (20) characters. Strategic planning on the part of the player to develop a set of traits to their fullest potential, creates a "type" of build. Its hard to quantify a character build as they all have their own merits and sacrifices. In this list the only judgments are playstyles: Diplomat, Sniper, Brawler, Thief, ect.

Character Build Format

 * List your character from lvl 1-20 and give as much detail per level as to which perks and skills to select
 * Please also list your initial, and end-game SPECIAL stats.

Opinions

 * Note that the character builds listed here are various people's opinions of what makes a good character.
 * Please don't edit them, just add your own.

Character Build: Maximum SPECIAL/Skills

 * This is my attempt to build a Fallout 3 Character that has maxed out Skills and nearly maxed out SPECIAL based on the research done in Talk:Fallout 3 SPECIAL
 * Once your skills are maxed out, you can play this character in nearly every play style, but the equipment and perks lend itself to rifles or Big Guns. Any "two handed Weapon" used in vats will be phenomenally successful.
 * The crucial thing to remember with this build is that it relies of collecting all the skill books in the game, and read them all after getting the Comprehension perk at level 5
 * If you collect every book and bobblehead in the game, you only need to allocate 45 points to each of your skills.
 * This build is a work in progress. Any help improving it would be much appreciated.


 * With all the SPECIAL points and all the points you rack up from leveling, you might max your skills by level 13, especially with all the running around you'll do finding all those books.

Character Build: Bloodwars Ninja/Unarmed

 * In case there are questions about my builds having low intelligence, I've done some research into why 3 Intelligence is a good idea©.
 * Important information on skill point increases


 * You lose out on Child at Heart, Robotics Expert, and Adamantium Skeleton for Rank 3 Iron Fist...
 * Paralyzing Palm Works best with Plunkett's Valid Points due to the VERY low AP, Unfortunately a
 * perk has to be thrown away to obtain them, but at least you get some caps for your trouble.

Character Build: Bloodwars Tank/Demolitions

 * In case there are questions about my builds having low intelligence, I've done some research into why 3 Intelligence is a good idea©.
 * Important information on skill point increases

Character Build: Bloodwars Stealth/Sniper

 * In case there are questions about my builds having low intelligence, I've done some research into why 3 Intelligence is a good idea©.
 * Important information on skill point increases

Notes: You can switch Commando with Gunslinger and use Blackhawk, Dart Gun or unique energy pistols -
 * or stay with commando and use Lincoln's Repeater, The Terrible Shotgun , and A3-21's Plasma Rifle.
