So everyone here is going to put 9 in Luck and Agility right?

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

I see no reason why not, given what we've seen. Though I might take some agility to prop up Endurance or Perception depending on how much they affect AP drain and accuracy respectively.

Luck is a given, though, yes. I love crits and I love loot, so plusses to both are tops.

I only bother to increase luck if there's a casino I can exploit. Otherwise perception and agility are my traditional dump stats, as I always liked high INT for lots of skill points. FO4 will obviously be different. Always need good END for lots of HP, and more strength to carry around fifty or sixty nuka-colas at all times.

In most RPGs I always max INT for dialogue choices and alternate quest solving options.

E: Especially if a big chunk of the plot is likely going to involve interacting with Institute scientists.

They had alt dialogue choices like this for every stat and skill in New Vegas. High Luck/Low Intelligence was great when you're tasked with healing Caesar's brain tumor and get the option to say 'Pfft, it can't be THAT hard...' and pop the thing out with a kitchen knife.

Greenmangaming is giving me a runaround with some Playfire account that I never set up. It just keeps screaming for a Playfire password but I don't have any linked accounts.

Who do I have to gently caress to get a sweet discount?

The best one was trying to complete 'Why Can't We Be Friends?' with an Explosives skill under 60. "5 bricks of C4 has to be enough to cause a small cave in, right?"

The game smashcuts to the parking lot where you entered, which is now a smoldering crater.

The Radio New Vegas bug was hilarious. 4 of the 25 songs wouldn't play, and instead I think it would just play big iron in their place.

I think that's why they also included Radio Mojave: same songs, but no announcer.

That's why you get Mr. New Vegas' Secret Stash, to add 20 more songs and fix that bug to boot. Then you can run around killing Legionaries and raiders to Aba Daba Honeymoon.

It'd actually be a great cross-promotion with Coke if they had a giveaway for five copies of the Pip-Boy edition if you collect enough star bottlecaps. And you can only get them from glass bottled, real sugar Coke.

I like that on a low Intelligence run, if you take the ARCHIMEDES path on Veronica's quest, you can ask a vagrant in Freeside who previously had nothing but unintelligible grunting to say where the C-Finder is, and he'll begin speaking to you in a sophisticated and verbose manner.

Haha yeah. I loved in the Boomers quest where you're asked to help in the medical tent, and you can say 'Yes, I've GOT THIS [Lie] [Medicine 14/60].' And proceed to kill / main the patients until you're told to get the gently caress out you incompetent fuckhead.

Guys, the more pressing question about the android is : WHAT DO THEY EAT. Can we expect the world to provide sustenance for the androids or will the lack of any synthetic fuelling stations shatter our immersion and cause us to go on a 3-page rant about the horribly broken mess?

This reminds me of when Togusa tried one of Batou's cyborg protein bar things, now I'm hoping for some baller-rear end cybernetic upgrades ala GITS/SAC. Especially if I can make my right forearm transform into a shotgun. Coinshot optional.

You gaylords with your Pip-boy editions are gonna be whining like babies when you realize you won't be able to play the game until like 7 PM on the 10th, whereas the rest of us superior digital downloaders will probably be playing it midnight on the 9th with proxies that give us viruses or allow an Eastern European to take control of our webcam and spy on us.
