Hey guys what kind of character are you planning to do?
I'm willing to start with some kind of sniper with a lot of crit and VATS action points.
Basically, that will be my start:
Perception: 8
Agility : 7
Luck: 8
Intel: 2
All the rest: 1
Here's how you can build your character:
http://www.rpg-gaming.com/fo4.html
So what stats are the most important for you?
Tinkerer/Mad Scientist/Tony Stark
Imagine that scene in iron man 3 where Tony breaks into the mandarin's mansion and takes everyone out with hi tech stuff he built on the fly.
S 4
P 5
E 1
C 4
I 10
A 3
L 1
I don't know if I need to swap C, E, L, or P a little. I might just take nerd rage to make up for the low E.
>>315560583
You're going to want enough E to at least get life giver imo.
Keep Int at 9 and just get the bobblehead for a free point.
>>315559391
>Hey guys what kind of character are you planning to do?
A demigod with all 10s in special and all the perks.
Not really possible to play it any other way, every character will end up like this, just like in 3.
Seeing as Vats are entirely useless, there is only 4 dialog options, and every weapon has a melee attack.
S 4
P 10
E 10
C 1
I 1
A 1
L 1
Because Strength is only needed to hold the gun and C,I,A,L are useless in this game now since it is entirely a FPS.

>>315561827
>stop liking what I don't like

I'm going with a high int build for energy weapons/ power armor. Moderate luck and charisma too probably.

>>315562646
Thanks, pretty sweet being able to see what perks will be available.
Making a High Str and Agl build to climb ladders as fast as possible. So hyped.
>>315560913
Eh, I like the idea of being squishy when outside of my armor so I have to rely on sneak (A 3).
Maybe use non automatic rifle and pistols when out of power armor and heavy weapons and melee when in armor. Also sneaking around planting explosives, hacking turrets, hacking robots when naked.
Strength - 3
Perception - 5
Endurance - 3
Charisma - 6
Intelligence - 3
Agility - 4
Luck - 4
I'm still messing around with it, but my idea is to have a smooth talking Doc holliday/Roland character who is good with revolvers and rifles. No energy weapons.
Any word on the leaks if starting with high INT gives you more skill points? I notice it says INT affects experience gain so I'm wondering if its the same or similar as 3 and NV were?
Starting with high INT in those gives you tons of extra skill points over the span of a playthrough..
>>315563313
There are no skills in FO4 and thus, no skill points.
>>315563313
>Skill points
Charisma is broken, there are no more speech checks apparently
>>315563313
just affects xp. so in a way you'll be earning perk points quicker for doing the same tasks.
>>315563957
How do those titty tan lines work exactly?
>>315563506
>>315564405
oh snap i didn't realize there's no skill points, so I guess earning more XP is sorta the same thing, but its probably not as good as it was in the older games.

No level cap so it just affects rate really.
At level 6.
Strength 3
Perception 6
Endurance 9
Charisma 6
Intelligence 6
Agility 2
Luck 1
I call it the Mayor build.
Every opportunity to perform pretty much all of the unique content the game has to offer.
Besides the melee weapon creation. But really. there is a dedicated melee button now for all weapons. Why bother.
>>315564526
Wow, I didn't know that either and if there is no speech check for charisma....what would be the best build? High INT? fuck everything else?
inteligence is useless
>>315561827
If we had to not play games because of /v/ opinion nobody would play games period.
I m exited for it personaly
>>315559391
Mostly a single shot rifle sneak asshole, but he can use nearly all small guns.
S - 3 (armor mods)
P - 4 (lockpicking)
E - 1 (toughness/fuck endurance)
C - 5 (lone wanderer, 1 point off making a town)
I - 5 (hacking, salvaging items, 1 point off high tech mods)
A - 7 (stealth crits)
L - 3 (bloody mess)
Bobbleheads should get me those two things I'm one point off of. They're things I don't want to do until later in the game. The only thing I'm kind of far away from that I want is 6 luck for better criticals.
Are swords confirmed?
>>315565351
So you don't want to make guns, hack computers and salvage parts from shit for the guns you can't make?

Fuck VATS
Fuck charisma
Fuck sneaking
Melee motherfuckers. Get the base perks, find the INT bobblehead, get to 10 INT and get nerd rage & ghoulish. Fucking win the game.
How do you even have character builds in this game when they raped the RPG elements?
>>315561827
Actually it's the same people who make the 'warning' threads who complain a week later. The people who were looking forward to it are actually playing the game. I speak from experience. Every game /v/ has 'warned' me about I've enjoyed and don't come back to /v/ for months until the next big AAA release is coming out so I can be entertained by the shitposting.
I need to look over the perks again before I think of assigning points. I'm gonna be making a punching/melee focused build.
I'm gonna do what I always do; use the console to have 10 in everything.
>>315566128
Vats are confirmed useless in the game now.
They made the game fully functional around manual aiming.
That and the only real use of vats is to see what the enemy is resistant to so you don't attack them with that type of weapon.
>>315561630
You need 6 or 7 INT to build or modify energy weapons, why don't you like the superior weapon type, anon?
>>315566405
This. It just proves that misery loves company since these jaded fags like to project themselves onto people who actually enjoy games.
So half of players are gonna be sneak snipers? Didn't you get tired of that shit in Skyrim?
>>315566826
Mah nigga. Cheating = best thing about games
>>315567673
No, Half of the players are gonna Pickpocket and loot safes.
You are not playing Fallout correctly if you ain't doing one of those things.
>>315566826
You must of loved Skyrim then
END is such a fucking worthless dump stat.
The only use is if you're shit and need the crutch of more hp. The perks are shit.
CHA is mostly useless garbage too.
Whenever I try to play these games "correctly" I get bored out of my fucking mind, so I'll probably do a high str high endurance unarmed retard and punch everything.
Gonna be a sneaky shotgun guy.
Plus enough points to craft shit.
Eventually get Gun-fu and Concentrated Fire.
>>315568936
Forgot picture
>>315568659
>there will never be a Charisma based caster outside of tabletop ever again
Shotguns, energy weapons, and pistols will be my main weapons.
>>315569227
Charisma is only useless nowadays because devs no longer care about making a fucking RPG something that you can role play in. It's all about voice acting, shitty dialogue wheels and the idea that stats alone make an rpg.
>>315565312
I would say something along the lines of
S = 3
P = 6
E = 3
C = 6
I = 6
A = 3
L = 1
for a energy based Sneaking thief with access to all the new shit available in the game.
Besides making melee weapons. But with each level you can put a point in either a Perk or a Stat so you can later put a point in a perk from the stat.
People thinking end game would be a character with 10's in all stats is stupid.
Highly doubt the level cap isn't at the very most 100. Making anyone who specialized better than anyone who wanted 10s.
Assuming I get all the bobbleheads, so I'll start with:
S - 9 - Pain Train baby
P - 1
E - 6 - Adamantium skeleton
C - 1
I - 1
A - 8 - Moving target, Blitz
L - 2 - Bloody Mess
Only using AP for sprinting and Blitz --> Pain Train and smash everything into a bloody mess.
>>315570545
What do you mean by bobble heads?
S2 P8 E2 C3 I4 A7 L9
Armorer?
Pickpocket 4
Rifleman 5
Locksmith 3
Sniper 3
Lone wanderer 3
Gun nut 4
Hacker 3
Sneak?
mister sandman?
Ninja 3
Bloody mess 3
Better criticals 3
Critical banker 3
Grim reapers sprint 3
Four leaf clover 4
This uses bobbleheads, maximizes sniper rifle damage through general, sniper, non automatic, sneak and crit damage bonuses. It also boosts crit regen and utility. The perks with ? are trade ups depending on game mechanics, sandman gets dropped if snipers cant be silenced or silencing drops damage too low, sneak is ignored if base values are high enough and a bonus point goes to ST to get armorer as a back up.
This assumes a level of 50 with no perks swapped for stats, however there is no level cap so eventually you can have 10 in all stats and all perks filled.
I always play sneaky sniper first. My second play would likely be a ST/IN build for Power armor synergy.
>>315570773
Bobbleheads that you find in the game that increase your base stats by 1 each.
>>315570773
There are bobblehead figures you can collect that boost your stats by 1.

E = 3
C =1

>>315570895

Oh just normal bobble-heads
Your posts had me previously under the impression that post nuclear fallout in game allowed you to find hidden bobble-heads to boaster your initial stats because you actually do shit in the game.
It is just normal bobble-heads then.
>>315559391
Myself I'm going to focus on pistols, weapon bashing and always be drunk.

>>315571575
Sorry, English is not my first language.
I thought anon was talking about the bobble-heads being available to you before you got to distribute your stats. That they were hidden in the starting area of the game before the bombs dropped.
I believe I fucked up by saying post nuclear fallout instead of pre-nuclear fallout.
>>315570782
Nice, I do the same. Sneaky sniper build first then into the melee/heavy guns power armor build
I'm going for a similar build, will probably use some of these ideas.

>>315561630
Pretty much this. No reason to invest in Charisma or Luck since all the roleplaying is gone.
Agility is needed for guns right? Perception just for energy weaps, and since I'm going regular gun build, it's gonna be
S 6
P 1
E 8
C 1
I 1
A 10
L 1

>>315572031
Well you are in luck.
The game actually allows you to charm literally everything that could fight you.
All you need is.
E =9
C = 10
I = 8
And you have access to Charming literally everything with words, With Technology, or a gun to the face.
The endurance is there so you can walk passed Ghouls at rank 3 Ghoulish.

You need Charisma for basically everything Base building related and Agility is actually the worst stat in the game. With endurance and Luck tied for second.
>>315573027
Smooth talking, No. Not really. the only thing int he game that governs talking is lady killer. don't even know how that shit works with only 4 dialog options.

I get this feeling I'll be 100% okay without perks right away in this game.
>>315574381
You don't get skill points anymore
Every level gets you 1 point to put in a SPECIAL stat or a perk tied to the amount of a SPECIAL stat you have.
Perks have multiple ranks and Pick pocketing hacking and lock picking are now perks.
Perks in which you don't have access to put points in until you reach level 2.
So regardless of how awesome your stats are. You can't hack steal pickpocket or anything like a skill until you level up and put a point in the perk.
>>315573817
I usually do high charisma because I like talking my way out of situations, with the gimped dialogue system is this still a decent option?
>>315572684
>>315561630
>Not investing in charisma because of the dialogue restirctions
I get what you guys are coming from but you need to understand that to do anything useful with your settlements you need a rank 6 C perk
>>315574839
I would at least put a point or two in the essential hacking lock picking and pick pocketing perks before throwing points in stats that probably won't matter if you build right at the start.
is there any reason at all to put points in endurance?
all of the things it improves can be covered with stimpacks, better armor, and chems
it seems so useless
>>315563957

>>315575032
The best perk endurance gives is the one that requires no stat investment. The rest of the good ones are too spread out to justify. At most you'd put 2 points and wait for a bobble head if you want Life Giver.

i don't know what the total number of points available is, but it'll be something like that. luck builds are fun as fuck, i'll probably go with some sort of ranged build with something to compensate for when i'm forced into close range.
>>315577749
Skills were always a waste though, it only encouraged absolute precision when it came to your INT stat. Every play through I had to precisely calculate what my INT should be in order to maximize what skills I wanted by what level (assuming I would not max out, which I never did) and accounting for bobbles, skill books, etc. My F3 start was basically beelining for the Int bobble before even engaging in the open world.
Taking skills out of the equation means people are free to actually do more varied stat builds. Just look at the thread. There's even support in the Luck tree for lowering Int!
You also need to account for multiple perks being present in the upgrades for these perks - there are at least 4 of New Vegas' perks in F4's sneak perks, for example.
>>315576895

>>315578191
I never had to do any of that and I got what the perks I wanted just fine. If you found skill point management to be hard then you are the exact reason the system is casualized.
>>315578416
I did not say it was hard, I implied it was *limiting*, because it is. Your build in 3 & NV, if you were min-maxing (i.e. NOT being a casual like you just implied), depended first and foremost on the INT you would spend in order to raise your skills.

>>315578559
The new system is even more limiting. It relies on SPECIAL, where certain points negate all others, and most perks are the same as the last but with a slightly bigger percentage.
>>315578672
As opposed to skill points, where increasing the skill is LITERALLY the same as before, only with a slightly bigger percentage?
>>315578724
But the perks were entirely unique. You seem to forget that the past games had both. This game is JUST perks and they are not unique anymore. It's all mostly percentage increases. Having skills and perks, and SPECIAL, allowed for much more dynamic and in-depth character creation.

Most Perks in Fallout had nothing to do with boosting a skill or a stat.
They added new options for dialog or new ways to kill things or random events happening.
The no skill system crams only 70 perks into the game. 30% of which are just skills you had in the other games and generic stat or damage/defensive increases.
Nothing unique.
FO3 and NV had well over 100 perks.
I wanna make a pistol gunslinger type of build. High in VATS, crits, and maybe have the character be a little tankish. What do you recommend?
What stats are best for speech and barter? I remember them being really useful/important in past fallout games

You need 4 int for hacking, and 5 for salvaging items to have enough materials to reliably craft what you want. And if an energy sniper is better than a conventional sniper you'll need 6 to mod it.

Two points in Charisma is all you need since the speech enhancer is 2 C and barther 1 C
Further down the Charisma line in terms of stat points you can get the ability to control trade routes between settlements.
Though with 4 options to talk about in conversations and one vague word representing your input I don't think being charismatic is going to be any fun in this Fallout.
>>315581862
Damnit man. What could I do about this? My plan was to use idiot savant in the luck tree instead of going high intel. I want to eventually craft godly rifles though. Should I scratch having strong back at the start of game and use its points towards intel?
>>315562382
>mfw .5gb
>>315582201
What in the hell would be the point of strong back. You will have companions to carry your shit. You will have settlements to hold your shit.
If you are not purely going non-charismatic loner retard hulk there is no reason for points in strong back.
>>315582201
If you go lone wanderer you get +100 carry weight. It also gives you +25% damage letting you one shot things more reliably. Going past Armorer on a gun build is a bad idea.
Ninja and Better Criticals should stack as that interaction worked in other games.
Because of bobbleheads you can cut about one point of something you don't want until later in the game like Energy Weapon modifications.

You don't get the perks in the stats if you have the stat that high of a number.
They just give you the ability to put a point in those Perks.
The Most of the Perks can have multiple points in them.
Simply having level 10 intelligence doesn't automatically grant you all of it's perks when you start the game.
Every level gives you a point you can spend on either increasing 1 stat or increasing the rank of a perk you meet the requirements for.
Also Bobble Heads exist so being one point off is pretty much what you want.

Charisma affects your chances to pass speech checks. Speech checks are still in the game.
As for whether the speech checks allow you to avoid or initiate violence in F4, I don't know.

Endurance - 10

Charisma - 5
Intelligence - 1
Agility - 3

So, out of the 70 perks, only 21 of them are either entirely % increases, chance based, or passive.
I didnt count any perk that was mainly passive, but granted an active or ability/skill within one of its ranks as being in the above category since that seems foolish.
Take of that what you will, not saying this system is better or worse, just for your consideration.

Less than 10, more than 8. What's so difficult about this?
I would say with Skills in 3 and NV, I had to avoid getting 100s for some Skills when leveling up, in case of books and perks (e.g. Intense Training) that raised skills. Also, apparel.
>>315588093
Call it wishful thinking, but I think the official specs (which I am nowhere near close to) are significantly bloated to make the game seem like more a graphics improvement. Listing nearly the same specs as for Skyrim would be embarrassing for Beth.

>>315589713
Don't bother. You want to hack, make gun mods, have full heal stimpacks, salvage items for crafting materials (potentially rare ones), and potentially make energy weapon/radiation weapon mods. And those are the first 5 points (6 total) invested.
And if you go all the way you can get double damage with radiation weapons, double duration on power armor, and even take Nerd Rage if you want something to save you if you almost die.

There are level requirement for subsequent ranks. All the 10 stat requirement perks each have 3 ranks requiring a random level around 25 for the second rank, and 50 for the third one.
A lower stat requirement skill might require 15-20+ for the second rank, and could require anywhere from 30-45 or whatever for the last one. There is no actual guideline, but that's the kind of jump in levels required you can expect.
>>315590249

1 level = 1 rank.
>>315600606
Every level you get 1 point to spend on either a Perk of your choice that you meet the requirements for or a Stat of your choice that you haven't already maxed out.
You can choose to not spend your point and pocket it until a later level so you meet the requirement for a higher rank of a perk you already put a point in.

Scientist big on performance enhancers. Going to energy weapons and chem the fuck up.
>>315559391
Probably shitload into Strength because I'm a fucking equipmnet hamster.
So since the top rank perks require level 50, it can probably be assumed level 50 is the minimum they expect the player to get to before "endgame". Maybe 60.
So 60 perks total?
Its kind of hard to think of a build when I dont know what weapons there will be and how the perks work? Where are the energy weapon perks? Some anon said you need 6 int to mod energy weapons, how are you supposed to make a decent build without knowing all these stupid rules Todd has made.
The same thing I always do: punch everyone in the crotch until their heart explodes.
So if I take no strength, I dont get access to weapon mods? the fuck system is this
>>315601275
Armor mods and melee weapon mods.
Melee weapon mods only matter if you want to be melee.
>>315601204
A conventional pistol uses pistol damage modifiers. It requires the Gun Nut perk because it's a basic type gun mod.
An energy/plasma pistol uses pistol damage modifers. It requires the Science! perk to modify because it's a high tech weapon.
A gamma pistol blows my fucking mind because it's clearly a radiation weapon, but also a pistol. It probably uses the Nuclear Physicist perk for damage, and Science! perk to modify.

Nice to see someone play the game in an earnest way. Wish more were like you, anon.
I don't expect it'll matter since I sense it'll be so easy you'll actively have to try to lose. I guess a social character and enough points to pass basic skill speechchecks so I can experience everything the game has to offer the first time and won't have to play it again.

This character system is so fucking garbage. When you had skills, you could actually invest in what you were interested in. Each SPECIAL "tree" is full of shit you'll never use, but you're forced to dump points into it just to get the one or two perks that are actually useful.
Why does faster reloading speed require that you dump 8 points into agility? This has always been a very early perk to pick up. The Charisma tree is loaded with shit like Animal Friend and Attack Dog and Party Boy that are either minor quality of life upgrades, useless, or extremely specific, and yet they all occupy relatively high slots. Other trees have what are basically the same perk, just split up a few times so you need to drop that many more points just to get the entire effect.
It's so boring and limiting at the same time.

>skills
>“The previous Skill system had some confusing parts and ended up spreading your choices too thin. Some of you had questions like: “What’s better, the Charisma SPECIAL, or the Speech Skill? Why are assault rifles in Small Guns?” Additionally many Perks simply raised associated Skills. The Gun Nut Perk in Fallout 3 increased two separate Skills. In Fallout 4, the ranks of Gun Nut act as gates for modifying and crafting weapons. Sneak was a skill in Fallout 3, and you simply increased its value. In Fallout 4 Sneak becomes a Perk that not only makes you harder to detect, but wraps in previous perks like Silent Running and Light Step into its ranks. By wrapping these systems together, it keeps the emphasis on your SPECIALs and the level-up choices more rewarding.”

Tommy Wiseau build

Luck 10 and legendary difficulty for maximum dank loot

Dont ever pick 10.
It cant go over 10, and you can upgrade your specials eventually.
Id say go 8, max.

Agreed I was thinking the same thing when I read the perks trees... Really hard to make a character that is interesting with this crap :\
enemies scale up to level right?
Intellect isn't as good as you'd think then, going charisma instead for RP purposes.
Convince me otherwise

Nah. Do what you want.

same, but i am fairly certain its confirmed not, something called survival mode tho. so i have hope.
>>315579545
no im pretty sure doc howard straight up said no
you can't do any build in this stupid fucking game. Everything is based around you getting to level 50 and just unlocking every perk anyway. Theres no fucking point. Fuck this game and fuck you

Thinking about taking something like
S 1 P 6 E 2 C 4 I 4 A 7 L 4
Lead belly for a hardcore run where you need to be eating snakes and drinking water. Could -1 P if you dislike always having to do things at night, -1 C if dogmeat actually sucks dick and want to go in solo with lone wanderer.
Luck more or less a dump stat, could put points in Charisma get Local Leader if you want to role play as big boss instead. You can put those points into endurance for marine boy so you could explore underwater easier. Or rearrange a some of the points so you can get A 9 for blitz that let you teleport for instant cqc.
I don't feel there's a need to dump more points into strength for more unarmed damage or armor mods since you will be sneaking most of the time, and ninja sneak damage will probably make your CQC instakill anyone. Unless there's some sort of armor mod that makes you amazing at sneaking.
