I like to think that everyone picks a set role that they envision their character as like a sniper, medic, rifleman, grenadier.... etc so what character do you guys make and how do you play him.

As for me i always have been a fan of scope rifles not a big fan of charging in on a pack of supermutants i like to sit out a bit and snipe them one by one in cover not knowing where the last shot came from until the last ones head explodes

i usually seem to always gravitate towards mid-range sniper. I love the rifles in these games, they are by far my favorite guns and i probably go through hundreds of .308 each playthrough.

Its kinda frustrating that i love that role-type though, cause every new playthrough, i tell myself that im going to do something different, but that always seems to be what i end up finishing as...

My current TTW playthrough (very hardcore too) is continuing the trend of sniping and rifles, but ive also gotten myself decent at the melee weapons (cause ammo is scarce) and started to add a couple points to explosives to help myself set up some traps (more dangerous explosions mod)... but the mid-range is nice so the dang raiders dont get too close

I hear ya man i always wanted to make a melee fighter type character but i love my rifles too damn much.

rifles are just waaaaaaay too fun and beautiful to not have them as your primary weapons

Well i do use lots of weapons but i preffer pistols as my current character is a smart but good cannibal.I only eat the guilty though,but anyway i just go with my cleaver or pistol and shoot my way or a shotgun sometimes but thats in my other role characters as im a big shotgun lover and i love my girls,though the cannibal is cool with intelligence 10 of course.Im like Hannibal said in other words my charisma is 10 too so i can mask myself and change my karma anytime i want(not cheat but a perk from more perks mod.)so yeah all my build or role as you said it,its kind of a inspired by Hannibal and some stuff i made custom too.

I always play an NCR ranger, Switching from my .45 pistol and 5.56 assault rifle to a .308 assault rifle and sniper rifle combo later on as He levels up. Since the RSa update I always have the Spartan Bayonet in my inventory as well.

Everything I guess.

I do like taking down a group one by one from distance, but that just seems dumb to me that the npc around them watch someone getting taken down and don't go into high alert and run for cover or anything.

So, sometimes I'll take one or two out and then rush in with AR or shotty. Indoors I usually switch to pistol/revolver, or shotgun. I use grenades on would be Legion assassins to start that fight as they approach.

In my Current walk through, my character is an explosives type of guy-grenades,rocket launchers,Fat Man, mines, all that type of stuff.Otherwise i use a rifle.

I play the role of an assassin. Mainly for the NCR but an unstoppable assassin. I have my perks set up where I can pretty much be in VATs forever in a group of enemies. I can jump in and kill all of them before anyone knows what happened.

I don't really know what role I play. I mainly help out the NCR, and always use the hunting rifle

I love the idea of a survivalist character. Most of my characters always go survival and repair as I just like the idea of my characters being people who can go out on their own in the waste and be fine knowing they will always be able to wrangle something together no matter how sparse their supplies. Plus I like the idea of the kinda solitary (maybe with a companion or two) traveller so he has to be able to repair his/her weapons or find food on the go.

When it comes it combat I vary between shotguns, handguns, and the hunting rifle; I like the idea of using a regular ol' gun. In my mind my characters are never experts in combat, but they have enough experience in it to be prepared for it, using whatever weapons best fits the situation.

Mostly stealth and sniping. I usually like to pick off enemies from distance. Then when I can't find anything else I move in silently. Though on special occasions I go in guns blazing. I usually always use a silenced M4 with a silenced L96 for long range .

Most of the time I like mid- or close-ranged weapons. I prefer ranged combat, but I still like to get up close and personal with the enemy. The blood/gore splattering, their speech in battle, keeping on the move while putting rounds on target is a lot more fun than placing the dot on an NPC and firing.

I mainly like to think that my character is a Rifleman, using the DC-15a and a heavy machine gunner with the Republic Rotary cannon.

My guy is like a wasteland operator he leads the remnants of SOF in the form of a private military company.

In my most recent playthrough I'm going for a survivalist character. I have survival maxed along with guns, sneak, and melee. Everything my character has is scavenged, and I play with hardcore mod on so survival is actually a needed skill.

hardcore survivalist playthroughs are really fun. Im sure you've heard of them, but do you use any mods that make hardcore mode even harder? like less food and water, higher rates, and realistic damage really make it a grinding experience.

I currently am playing through a Tales of Two Wastelands hardcore playthrough... and let me tell you, it is real tough... makes me feel as hopeless and new to the game as i did the first time

My character is a straight-up cowboy. I say this because it shows in his tactics - he leaps into combat despite the odds. Think, Han Solo. He frequents revolvers and other assorted pistols. Despite all this, he's still a gunslinger and is quite capable at shooting down a group of Fiends.

My guy likes to be professional, agent 47-like. Long ranged silenced snipers and pistols all day erryday.

mine is a special operator tactical mercenary kinda ranger fanboy of the ncr? probably yes.
