Don't lower any stat below 4 and keep in mind that you can boost each of them by +1 at the Brotherhood of Steel bunker, for a price. With 8 Perception and Agility, you'll be able to get the 'Sniper' perk at level 18 - this upgrades all your ranged hits to critical damage! You'll need at least 6 points to Luck to find the ultimate weapon in the game. I usually invest in Agility (for Action Points), Perception (to shoot further) and Intelligence. When you get it, your Strength will increase by 4 points. See that guy on the title screen? He's wearing Power Armor. Put more in it ONLY if you're planning to play a melee character. Intelligence is important if you like talking a lot and you want more skills points per level. Here's my recommendations for creating a new character: max your Agility first because it gives you more AP per round. Also, don't cheat and don't rush through the game world.

Besides, figuring out things by yourself is more fun anyway. I mean quest, and has a great replayability. Second, play a character you think will be fun to play with and don't read any more guides! Fallout is designed to have multiple solutions for each problem. If you missed it, just click on the INTRO button inside the game. Fallout 1 Quick Start - Creating your Characterīefore anything else, I recommend you watch the cool intro at the beginning.
