If some were wondering, that is where I have been for the past week or so...lol
I have NEVER been a fan of RPG's or whatever these are, but this one has got me hooked sooo bad. I have already finished the game and now I am on my second run through. Tool, be VERY careful. This game will suck you in. The good news is that even after you have finished the game, you can run through it again. I am about a 1/4 of the way now and it's a whole new game.
I can recommend the following,
Whenever you come to the end of a quest, right before the multiple choice...SAVE...then, go back trying out different paths.
Whenever you enter cities, holster your weapon. People are less likely to shoot at you.
While in buildings, don't leave any rock unturned. You'll find ALL kinds of shit in Desks, Bathrooms, etc...Usually, each building will have multiple levels.
As far as perks go,
I found that these were the most useful:
Barter:You can get some really good deals and earn EXTRA caps
Speech:You will be able to "Talk" your way out of shit and get extra XP
Science:You'll be able to hack MORE terminals and learn MORE about the "back story" in personal notes
lockpick:This is obvious
Repair:You can fix your weapons better making them MORE deadly
Overall, this game is awesome. It is one of those games that you can play for MONTHS and not grow tired of...Playing it pretty much non-stop for the past week and a half, I "finished" the main story. However, with this game you can replay it and it GETS BETTER. Not to mention that you can play in First or Third person(Over the shoulder).
