Character builds

[Cheeze]

What build are you doing in Fallout 4? I´m doing a gun build focused on rifles

[Lightning]

My first character I went rifles, I think I went 9 agi, 10 int, and rest into charisma to start

2nd character went into Heavy guns / Explosives 10 int, 5 str, 5 end, and 1 charisma

I alwayse tend to put into Int all the time to level up faster

drug addict build

[OoOoOoooOOoOoorgle]

I built initially just for Rifleman w/ crafting, figured I'd have a non-auto rifle (or shotgun) for any enemy/range, but it eventually turned into Sandman/Ninja/Gauss Rifle range-killer because that was so lol.

What's the point of this topic, if anyone can take every and single one of all "perks"? To know the orher of taking them?

Well at least there's SOME sense of build-exploration up to about 30, but yeah, the 'no level cap' thing does seem more like a negative than a positve at this point

Because next no to one will EVER be able to take every single perk, short of powerful autism or glitch abuse. You have infinite levels in theory, not in practice.

I recently finished my first run and clocked in at 85 hours just under level 50, having done a significant amount of exploring, sidequests and wandering. Obviously results will vary based on what you do and how you play, but bear in mind you need to be roughly level 300 and change to max everything.

I'm playing a rifleman who is an expert in lockpicking, hacking, crafting, and leading settlements.

...just like everyone else playing the game.

Got three builds I tried, I'll quote two of em because I'm sad and try to explain the other one:

NecroGhoulMancer Build:

Children will point and laugh and parents will grab them shouting NO NO NO DON'T ATTRACT ATTENTION but it's too late at this point next time a radiation storm comes along the children vanish in the night and before they know it the radiation storm stops and the crying stops and I just wanted to not get laughed at in school but now you've pushed me too far and it's all over now and nothing can stop me now because I've killed you.

Then you have the Broken man chem + alcohol to get through the working day build:

A broken man who, after discovering his wife being shot, was BROKEN beyond all repair. Make them have scarred to balls facial features. Take the SPECIAL stats to reach Chemist and Chem Resistant and chem the hell out of your dome constantly, with alcohol too, and pure melee using any weapon you can get your hands on. You must constantly be using Jet, Pyscho and Buffout constantly. You don't have time to talk to people, you talk with your FISTS. Punch your way through the main quest, singlehandedly wipe out the Brotherhood of Steel the moment they fly on in like Big Damn Heroes, get invited to the Institute and promptly beat everyone to death while chemming out of your dome.

You don't see the world like other people see. You only see death. Blood. Pain. Misery. Kill. Main. Destroooooooooooooooooooy. I'm not saying MURDER ALL IN EXISTENCE those playthroughs are boring. I just mean you're more unreliable than a sweaty stick of dynamite. You can explode at any moment. Everytime something annoys you in the game, like a facial expression an NPC pulls, you go ballistic. If that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ is essential, you beat them down and then use the console to disable them. Job done.

Call yourself Roidmaster. Become master of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ technique.

You can only carry the weapon you have in your hands, the clothes you choose to use, and chems. Nothing else. All you need is 1000 hits of PyschoJet, and 500 bottles of Borovs Special Moonshine to make it through the day.

8 Intelligence, raised to 10 through I'M SPECIAL and The Bobblehead, so you can grab Chemist and Nerd Rage.

3 Luck for Bloody Mess, incredibly important, can't be without it.

9 Strength for Rooted and other such BEAT TO DEATH perks.

4 Endurance for Chem Resistant.

Remember: No one cared who you were until you put on the mask - the world is going to get what is coming to it...there are millions of people in this world but in the end...it all comes down to one...that person is YOU. No other will do.

I also tried a Payday 2 build using Intimidate, Robot Expert and Wasteland Whisperer, holding people up instead of killing but it got really old fast, the amount of scumming required. If holding someone up from [HIDDEN] was 100% it would be a pretty amazing way to play but..meh. I like the idea of an aged conman who uses words and skills to bypass stuff instead of relying on guns, but...Fallout 4 is a little too dumbed down for that.

Nice tips, might try one of them in my next run

[Greb]

They're fun when the game lets them be fun, lol. I've never known anyone to use mines in any of the games at all, so I might try making a mine run. Might have to cheat like 100 Stealth Boys for that though. With the new Nuke Mines, it could be quite a viable thing.

[Rohke]

I went 10 strength 10 endurance and some inteligence currently sitting at 6 inteligence. Its for using power armor really.

[ShawnTheWeirdo]

Survival - Unarmed, having a hell of a time though, mostly because my best unarmed weapon so far is bladed knuckles, and i refuse to just cruise around in power armor all day :P
