Unarmed/Melee is all about pairing it with Survival; having a fuckload of healing items on your body at all times and just wading through everything the enemy throws at you, taking it all in the face and not caring. Bonus points for using the perks that give you bonuses for light armor.
I like to pair this with cannibalism. Manic of the Wastes

All this luck talk reminds me that my buddy introduced me to a build that made me think about my stats differently isntead of playing it straight all the time.

He maxed out luck and maybe something else, then got all the money, and then bought those augmenter things. He would frequently get crits to the point that he could depend on it happening.

Meanwhile I've found I can never let Vulpes live past Nipton anymore. Especially if I've taken Terrifying Presence and can inform him I'm going to wear him for a hat. It's just way too tempting to blow his head off as soon as he runs his lip.

I think I picked up the idea from here, but my one and only gimick play through was taking the cannibal perk and eating everyone I came across. I wanted to see if I could get that flesh of champions hidden perk or if it was a myth.

I started to become less motivated to play it tho as I would walk into a town and people wouldn't immediatley flea from me. I'm the Maniac of the wastes! I've eaten everyone I've ever talked to. Surely you've heard of me. Why are you even opening a conversation with me? Especially one that's not about my very public reputation of killing and eating everyone I've ever met??


It ruined my immersion. Some reputation system this game has

this was stated almost plainly, with the slightest bit of inference and deduction needed by the audience. i didn't even think it was a controversy lmao

oh no, i see what's going on. you care about continuity between the show and the games. perhaps it may be more satisfying to recognize that due to the change of medium, some "soft retconning" is going to need to be employed.

it's a different universe than the game, heavily inspired by the game

Heading east in 2077 to fight the Legion at the first Hoover Dam and barely scraping a win could be considered the start of a downward spiral.

basic storytelling suggests house already being in the show and the implications of the final scene mean he will almost certainly be in it

Obsidian games like to play around with the gender for previously established characters. In Kotor 2 Atton says Darth Revan was a sexy woman and if you call him out and say that Revan was obviously a man then Atton is like "sure whatever, maybe I like to imagine Revan was a hot lady."

So the Courier being this wasteland wanderer on a level similar to the Mysterious Stranger who comes and goes like the wind brahmin.
turns out you've been the mysterious stranger all along

he was in the latest Fargo season as a lawyer with an eye patch who maybe had a background in espionage

so what I'm saying is that yes he's still available!

always max out luck for any build. it's called new vegas, everything is a gamble. rig the game in your favor at the start. it's so funny to be in a tight situation and then have the luck kick in
