How bad will a game with 1 luck be in nv?

[Horror Pigeon]

Aside from losing in casinos, I can put special points elsewhere

[LadstonFelisGaming]

I’m not a gambler myself, so I completely dumped Luck. As far as I can see, there’s not much outside of the casinos affected by it noticeably. I still get an above-average amount of crits regardless of weapon even with 1 Luck. There are a few Luck-based dialogue options, but those have alternate checks for the same result. So… not bad at all.

Yeah, honestly, luck is only truly good for gambling. And in NV with high barter you'll be rolling in caps regardless

[Shiroi Ren]

You only lose Better Critical perk which is good only if you aim for Neutral 50 level Perk.

[psychotron666]

With 1 luck you have a 1% base chance of critical hit. Some weapons specifically have a 2x or 3x crit modifier which will multiply that. The finesse perk will also give you another 5% Crit chance to offset a dumped luck

[Facetable]

I’d say its really only important if one is running a crit build:

Low luck means losing out on increased crit damage and crit consistency as Better Criticals (+50% crit damage) has a luck requirement (6) and each point of luck gives 1% crit chance (might seem small but becomes more beneficial on weapons with crit chance multipliers).

It’s not essential by any means but it’s a pretty significant component of many crit builds.
Also some weapons are highly reliant on their critical effects/damage (ex: compliance regulator, sonic emitter, Paciencia).

On the flipside, certain weapons don't have a crit effect (or it is negligible), so your abyssmal base crit chance won't affect their performance. Get yourself a chainsaw and some explosives and go ham.

You probably wouldn't have that negative of an experience if you don't care about luck related perks, gambling, or critical hit chance. All of which you can go the rest of the game without.

If you play on Hardcore, additional downside would be weight of ammunition. Powerful weapons have heavier ammunition while majority of crit-happy weapons are lighter themselves and have lighter ammunition - they rely on crits to deal decent damage.

The luck
Factor is 3^(($#!4 if you can count cards and know the programming variables too predict possible consequence and success based on the variables of all the casino games.

The only game that will have the worst odds of winning would be roulette, no one wins that game easy unless you have high luck even then, even with high luck your chance of winning is not 1 out of 6 odds.

If you have a high enough IQ and can hear binary code too use it in your favor and if your brain is capable of translating the high frequency output from your CPU then you do not need luck at all in this game or critical hit points in order too predict every possible out-come of your encounters with NPC's while in action or simply playing normal.

Why ruin the experience for yourself while playing through the story, by taken things the easy way and the only thing luck will impact with-in a larger fractional margin scale with- in this theoretical points deduction in luck, will reduce value or quality of item spawn's.

There is no impacted on pre-programmed RARE items spawn locations unless there's texture bug related to a processing error and the weapon fell through the map.

Veteran Video
game'rr's highly recommend to play the game in hardcore, no mods except only realism improvement mod's, based on increase survival, realistic item asset replacement, low gamma to the realistic values, editing color values for Immersive game-play and un-bind key to Vats and never use it again.



like things the easy way do what you want.

Chainsaws are considerably improved with high crit, since they have a chance to crit multiple times per second.

But yeah, luck is predominately for critical hits, so if you don't care about that, dump luck. Arguably it's more realistic that way too. Stats in NV are more impactful than in FO3, but still not super-important outside of qualifying for perks.

I wouldn't play without luck. Playing without intelligence is kinda funny because it changes your speech. I always play blackjack.

[Thulsa ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Doom]

low luck plus heavy hands starting perk is a fun playthrough
just try it
beat the crap out of everything.

I'm remembering fallout 3 where the ripper has a x0 crit multiplier, forgot that changed.
