@Tactical Dropbear, I try being tactical too on occasion, pop a steady and other luck/perception boosting consumables along with maybe a stealth enhanced consumable, then sneak into the base after picking off a few isolated targets. Then I realize I just juiced up outside of a fortified encampment, and killed some people to indulge the high.

@njmanga097, thanks dude I gotta save that message for when I set up my sniper build. Also, I was a bit tossed up on which traits I should go for until you gave me a good idea of what's what. Thanks!

@Primus_Daibhidh, I get what you mean although I never find deploying traps to be that useful, when it's not it a dungeon it's difficult to predict AI atleast in my experience. Straying away from the current game for the moment, your comment perfectly describes the best way to approach Ghost Recon: Wildlands or Ghost Recon in general.

For Fallout 3 I mainly stuck to the mad max feel shotguns assault rifles and leather Armor

Fallout New Vegas no mater how hard I try I always end up as a Clint Eastwood style gunslinger

Fallout 4 I find difficult to play as anything as I never got into the game unfortunately

I love an energy weapons build in new vegas. In the base game+dlc the humble laser rifle is pretty much the best weapon in the game with the correct perks and armor you could cut anything down to size. Meltdown was hilarious too, although kinda pointless. I tied that in to roleplaying as a kinda self suficient tech scavenger/survivor who likes programing and robots. Making your energy ammo from robots and recycling really plays into the scavenger thing. Another roleplay one was the charismatic sapper who only likes the extremes; huge loud but surgical explosions, or suppressed quiet gunshots. Both are my favorite NV builds.

FO4 builds really don't matter everything just subtracts hp from bad guys and just... whatever y'know?

Fallout 4 (The only Fallout I have played a good amount)

-I usually go as a sniper or stealthy, but guns blazing is fun

-Sniper build (Mostly just damage upgrades)

-For armor I use modded in armor (Like the stormtrooper armor, and tactical firearms pieces with some other mods)

-Side with either the Brotherhood or Institute

-for Weapons I use modded in weapons (Like the MK14 Scar H E11 etc)

-I find using modded in gas grenades fun to use

-I also love getting stealth knife kills (There is a mod that makes an animation happen everytime)


For FNV I haven't played it enough to really decide but I can give a guess on what i will use and what I will probably do

-Probably a sniper and or stealth

-Armor I'm not sure, but I will most likely use something tactical/sniper and Stormtrooper/clone trooper armor

-Weapons I'm not sure, but sniper rifles and modern weapons will do

I only played FN and FO4, I do have plans on downloading TTW but as I'll just dl it after its "finished" iIrc.
FN - 80% Melee(Deathclaw Gauntlets) and 20% (Hunting Shotgun)
-Low Charisma
-Average Int
-Max Luck

FO4 - 60% Melee(Super Sledge) and 40% Ranged (Remmington 870/Scar-H)
-Low Charisma
-Average Int
-Max Luck

Melee ftw

Creey playstyle for stealth build character. kinda regret about it when you have to go through the final chapters of the main quest which only has straight up massive fighting.

Always been more the survivor-ship type, I like the feeling of starting off with nothing then working my way up the waste-chain.

After beating the games multiple times, I've assembled my preferred canon playstyles for both games. Although, my Fallout 3 playstyle has almost never changed other than a few side quest differences.

Fallout 3
- Following in the footsteps of your Dad, I use a medical/scientist build with high intelligence and perception. I use a hunting rifle and various energy weapons to destroy my enemies. After disarming the Megaton bomb instead of detonating it, I set out to do good in the wasteland. I constantly put my life at risk in order to save others and eventually succeed with Project Purity providing everyone with purified water. Therefore, becoming the Capital Wastelands savior.

No matter how hard I try, I just cannot beat this game without having very good karma by the end of it.

Fallout New Vegas
- As the courier, I roleplay as a great strategist who uses a Sniper/Gunslinger type class with high charisma, luck, and agility. Going full neutral with some heroic deeds here and there, I end up playing all the factions, gaining their trust and then going fully independent by the end which results with me gaining control of New Vegas.  

I love playing more as a morally gray character in this game.

As the SAS operator in CS likes to say, i tend to go sneaky beaky like and mostly just use ballistic weapons

I also mostly just go full NCR or go for a Independent Vegas ,never done a legion playthrough in my live(they are just so damn killable and i hate them).

In fallout 4 I do a type of Hotline Miami game play at the start I pick up weapons use them until the mag is empty then drop them leading to no lost of inventory or space used for melee weapons as I progress start keeping the doped weapons because at that point I have tons of ammo then I just big boss my way around the map slaughtering everything in sight.

In fallout 3 I go for straight stealth at the start because fallout 3's weapon system is plain frustrating only difference is for fallout 3 I have to be more mindful of weapons and gear as they break down.
