ALWAYS do / NEVER do...

I'm sure plenty of you have already played the Fallout series to the death, and replayed the game(s) many times...

Quick question, what is something that you ALWAYS have/do, and what is something that you will NEVER do?
As for me:
Always:
- Play as female (sexay)
- Stealth characters (sexay ninja)
- Sniper rifle with silencer (sexay silent ninja)

NEVER:
- Play as male
- Melee characters

-Help bastards (such as slavers and raiders)

Trying to play realistic

Guessing Computer passwords and if I guessed wrong just console command them
Never :
Max out barter skill (I don't see any sense in buying ammo for 1 cap/rounnd)

Other than those I don't think I have any things I never do

that's it really, I'll do pretty much whatever the hell I feel like with a save game but those 4 things are pretty much universal.

Always:
- Play as a male
- Max out speech
- Struggle to think of a name

Never:
- Side with the legion
- Be evil in more ways than just killing people. The kind where you actually mess with them i.e. Getting Boone to kill Manny and then say it was for the lols.
- Use chems. Not because I don't like them, but because I'm always saving them for the event where I'll need them and I never actually do.

Might actually try out siding with the legion next play through to see what it's like.
