New playthrough -- what do you suggest?

[ninjafish]

I have decided to start a new play through due to a few certain reasons, and have not previously beaten the game or even touched that heavily on the main storyline.

 

Since I am getting a new Intel core i5 and MSi Crossfire motherboard with it, and 16gb DDR3, I wanted to start fresh with awesome graphics, so I am wondering on what play style I should do. Typically I play a lock-n-load walk in and just light the room up and kill off everything, Rinse and repeat.

 

While it's fun and all, I am always open to new gameplay styles and variety.So I am looking for your suggestions with SPECIAL, TAGs and whatnot.

You should def go through the main quest. There are a few moments of true epic-ness that you dont wanna miss. Especially if you have the Broken Steel dlc. Personally I do prefer the "light up the room and kill em all" tactic but Ive also played through counting bullets and conserving everything kind of Resident Evil style and it was a blast also. As far as the s.p.e.c.i.a.l. goes I wanna try a playthrough with no Luck. That would be interesting. I usually OD on the luck cause I think it helps out a lot, especially with my fav perk, mysterious stranger. :D

 

 

Or, if you havent played through killin all the good guys and racking up massive amounts of bad karma, thats always fun.

Well i'v played through twice, got the main quest to the same spot cause I end up forgetting about it cause I love exploring.

 

My first character was pure evil. Killed almost every single person I couldn't benefit from. And even then sometimes killed other people.

 

And i don't think I would like to play without luck, because I rely on those critical hits a lot lol.

Ahh, My first trip through I was a SOB. I was heavy into speech, sneak, lockpick and explosives.

 

I really really like a lot of points in speech. I think it opens up many things otherwise not possible. I was able to accomplish many things in game just by lying and manipulating people all the time :D

 

I stole everything and killed everyone. I had groups of hired killers looking for me all game after I was branded as super villan (I forgot what it was in game) but they had some bad names for me, lol

 

If people talked to me in the wrong tone they died. If they had things I wanted they died. I would take a quest to help a certain group like the ghouls and then take another quest to clear them out.

 

I killed the overseer, the sherrif in Megaton, Moira, and numerous other main characters in the game. LOL Moira's voice got to me. She was so sweet syrup leaked out of her. I did the town a favor :D

 

Towards the end it was tough, I could not show my face in a lot of places without getting attacked. lololo

 

Good Times !

That was a lot like mine. Heavy speech I think add's such an RPG depth to the game, lets you use other options, can make stuff easier, funner and even funnier.

I had lockpick as well, and ended up killing everyone in Tenpenny tower because I couldn't get into their "merchandise" chests haha.
