Todd Howard Build?

[Crabsgoodeats]

After playing Fallout 3 I had an idea what if I played the legend himself, Todd Howard in NV? I'm too lazy to make one so I wanna hear your ideas.

Todd is a businessman who likes to sell you things, so go hard on the Barter. He also likes to hype things up because it just works, so amp up that Speech skill. Todd was a member of the Chess Club don't ya know? Chess Club = Nerd = Science. Pick up that Nerd Rage perk while you're at it. Resolve all issues by talking up a storm, or let your company (companions) do all the work.

Should I get terrifying presence too just cause?

[LCpl Nubcake]

Depends, does Todd's presence terrify you?

[Crabsgoodeats]

To the community sometimes

[LCpl Nubcake]

I guess sometimes what he says can make the community aggro, so Terrifying Presence is appropriate.

I heard somewhere that Todd is a barbarian player when it comes to TES, so, ya know, it's gotta be 10 Strength and you use a Bumper Sword/Blade of the West/ Blade of the East. maybe cheat in Lily's Vertibird blade.

And of course, since he was in the chess club, clearly you need to also have 10 Intelligence.

And also, since he gets away with his sweet little lies, you also have to have 10 Charisma.

Nope, hes a little guy. Small Frame as a trait though.

You pick, but I would lean towards Wild Wasteland, only because since Todd and Bethesda love the wacky side of Fallout.

I do like Built to Destroy, because of the critical chance. I was going to say, if Todd were to use any weapons, I see him using holdout weapons easily, so a high luck would help him there. He would also need to be at least half way to sneak.

He would probably be interested in Guns, Energy Weapons, and Explosives, at a basic level, but how proficient would he really be at them?

Todd would be interested in reading all the skillbooks and magazines he could find. He dresses in Pre-War outfits. If he uses chems, they would be Wine, Mentats and Buffout.

Lucky, with good charisma and intelligence, smart but not too smart.
likable, but some people might see a face they just wanna punch.

I would dock a point in strength and and maybe endurance. And never raise his charisma or intelligence over 7 without buffs. Strength and endurance should never be over 5 without buffs.

Sorry, I put alot of thought into it. Going to do this build one day myself.

But yeah, good charisma, intelligence, luck, and what post #2 said. I'm also dead set on the Small Frame trait.

I redact my statement about never having a high endurance, he needs health, because he isn't strong. Todd will be very wealthy, and probably a tiny bit insecure, so he would benefit from as many implants at the New Vegas Medical Clinic. Also, his luck his high, because how else did he become the head of Bethesda?

I forgot Todd loves Power Armor, Veronica and Arcade are ideal companions. The Brotherhood of Steel is not a bad fit for him. He's more of a Scribe, but is intent on wearing that Power Armor. At the battle of Hoover Dam, he will need it.

Todd makes deal and truces for as many factions as he can, your discretion on the misfits and outlaws.

I did Build to Destroy because I thought that's how some of the community felt when he started developing the Fallout games, I think Fallout has always been wacky but regardless I think it fits perfectly for him.
