There&#8217;s a lot of really awesome quests in this game that frankly get more interesting if you have high science and so I never want to give that particular skill up. I also can&#8217;t run a game without high speech, since I think being able to worm your way out of a bad situation is a lot more gratifying than only knowing how to solve problems with bullets. It goes without saying that by association, my S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats were Charisma and Intelligence (with a little luck thrown in) since they not only pertain to the skills of my choosing, but I&#8217;ve always found them more useful than any of the others. The point is, every time I went to make a fresh character I just couldn&#8217;t live without those skills. The only differences were who I sided with and if I decided to be a cannibal or not with that particular character. <\/p>\n<p>Oh, who am I kidding. There&#8217;s nothing like asking Boone to wait for a second while I eat someone&#8217;s liver raw. Cannibalism, I will never quit you.<\/p>\n<p>This is the part where you say <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pWdd6_ZxX8c\">&#8220;Yeah, well you know, that&#8217;s just, like, your opinion, man&#8221;<\/a> instead of starting a flame war about superior builds. The great thing about these games is everyone can play them differently and find a comfort zone that fits them personally. I&#8217;m sure there are even some of you who liked to play drastically different characters for the full Fallout experience and that&#8217;s awesome, too!<\/p>\n<p>Unless you put all your points into Barter.
