Likewise, I found survival not too useful - the fabricated stuff made with this skill was not particularly valuable so it didn't add much to wealth or combat ability. For instance, many safes have a controlling terminal nearby which science can solve. Lockpick is heavily overlapped with science, so it's nice but not necessary. Medicine improves the efficiency of your healing, offers more NPC conversation choices, and can solve one or two sub-quests. This lowers the weight of your clothing, armor and weapons cargo. Repair's big value is lightening the loot load after a big battle - repairing stuff combines items which reduces the weight being carried. I have found that in addition to their primary uses they can give additional choices when talking with NPC's, so they are adding to speech effectiveness.ДЄt the third level I find repair and medicine are useful. Given the above, I emphasize three skills: a single weapon skill, sneak, and speech.ДЄs secondary skills I invest in science and barter. O I also like working the story line, so I talk to people and I like solving problems with talk. (but do pick up the Toughness perks when they come up as you level) Use this technique and you don't need to wear any personal armor. Taking one long shot then moving behind a wall works other wonders: Your enemies will charge, one-by-one, and come running around the corner. I then blast it further at close range with V.A.T.S. If the enemy has good range damage ability I then move behind a corner of some sort after the first volley and force it to charge if it wants do damage. Then I keep shooting as the target charges, with V.A.T.S. feature - typically taking a shot if I can get above 30% hit chance. I take my first shot at long distance using the V.A.T.S. O I find that sneaking around, and standing off while I shoot stuff works is a satisfying play style for me. They helped me get started with Fallout and showed me some of the tips and techniques outlined here. I would like to acknowledge the help of my good friends and fellow players Martin Prier and Richard Block. Here are some techniques that I have found work well in playing Fallout: New Vegas.
