PREAMBLE The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others. This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software. We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference. 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms of this License. The "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another language. A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them. The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque". Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output purposes only. The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text. 2. VERBATIM COPYING You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies. 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects. If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages. If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public. It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document. 4. MODIFICATIONS You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission. B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five). C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher. D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices. F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence. J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein. L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. M. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version. N. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section. If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard. You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version. 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice. The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History" in the various original documents, forming one section entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements", and any sections entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections entitled "Endorsements." 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the compilation. Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they are not themselves derivative works of the Document. If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate. Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate. 8. TRANSLATION Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License provided that you also include the original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original English version of this License, the original English version will prevail. 9. TERMINATION You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/. Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. ABOUT THIS GUIDE ================ This project was started in early August 2001 to complement my full-length Fallout game guide. So far, the walkthrough is about 85% complete and has enough information to beat the entire game (it's 85% because I know I have missed several things...). There is a complete character creation guide (yes, with a complete listing for every perk, trait, skill, etc.) as well as a combat tactics guide. An appendix replete with armor and guns is present, but regular items (e.g, chems, tools, etc) haven't been added. The format is largely retained from the version 1.x guide with some distinct changes. Experience information is given in the first section of the walkthrough (i.e., before the 'Details' section) as opposed to a seperate appendix section. Information about guns and NPC's is also given in context, again eschewing the format of the appendix. If you have any extra information for the walkthrough or have characters (please, no hacked ones) that you're willing to share, I would gladly appreciate your information - your name will go in a 'Credits' section and the information that you submitted will go in its correct section. TEXTUAL NOTES ------------- A list of abbreviations and just some stuff that needs to be noted is included in this section. xp: Experience (general) kxp: Experience from kills NCR: New California Republic BOS: Brotherhood of Steel; technocrats from Fallout 1 ABOUT FALLOUT 2 --------------- Fallout 2 begins in July 2241, about 80 years after Fallout 1 started. It shares the same game engine with the original Fallout and, like its predecessor, is just as engaging, original, and violent. Unlike Fallout 1, Fallout 2 is a much more "mature" game. Take, for instance, New Reno. New Reno is filled with self-described pimps and prostitutes, and your character can even become a porn star. Likewise, there are many more chances to "score" in Fallout 2 to Fallout 1. These details make the main plot much more contrived (though it's a lot better than many of games out there) and also make it lose a lot of its appeal. The plotline begins when the Vault Dweller was exiled from Vault 13 (end- game movie in Fallout 1). The Vault Dweller was followed by a few other dwellers, and together, they trudged northward in the wastelands of North California. The small group founded a community, Arroyo. It was (and still is) a primarily agragrian community and is quite primitive, but the villagers later turned it into a thriving community. The Vault Dweller vanished from Arroyo and was presumed dead. His daughter became the Elder of the village. 35 years after the Elder received the title of Elder, the economy of Arroyo slowly began to deteriorate and needed the Garden of Eden Creation Kit (G.E.C.K) to survive. Your character was chosen for that role and now has been sent to retrieve the G.E.C.K from the holy Vault 13. This walkthrough contains a lot of spoilers; read it only if you're stuck in a certain part of the game and need some help to get out. I hope you have as much fun as playing Fallout 2 as I have had. Best of luck to you, Vault Dweller! CHARACTER CREATION ================== This walkthrough is different in its approach, and a special "highly-tuned" character is used to maximize effectiveness. The walkthrough will walk you through in getting the Power Armor early on in the game (or at least after Vault City), and that is largely responsible for high and low stats featured in the selected character. The pre-selected characters can finish the game. Chitsa is the best, as her intelligence will enable her to finish most of the quests in the game. Narg is a melee fighter, which is pretty ineffective since virtually all of the good weapons are ranged attacks. And Mingan, well...a thief-type is horrible at combat and really isn't great. The character included below can be considered a heavily modified Chitsa (I used that character as a base for this one). Now, here are two very conspicious traits that need to be acknowledged, though they don't have a big impact on the game: 1. Yes, in Fallout, you can choose whether to be female or male. For the most part, it really doesn't matter what your gender is, but there are subtle differences that will be taken in account: FEMALES - In the Den, females can screw a bartender in The Hole for $200. They can also screw Joey, the gangster, (though apparently for nothing). One major advantage is that females can screw Metzger to buy Vic for half the price. - In Modoc, females can marry either Miria or Davin. - In New Reno, females will have difficulty convincing Stuart to sign you up for the boxing championships. Also, females can screw T-Ray (the chop-shop mechanic) to get the car back (he'll steal it) and screw him again to get upgrades. MALES - In the Den, males can screw a prostitute, although they have to pay to get that service done. - In Modoc, males can only marry Miria. - In Vault City, it's possible to date Phyllis for experience. Males can also donate sperm to diversify the genetic base in Vault City. - In New Reno, males have to pay the car mechanics to get the car back without violence. In addition, males are able to screw Angela, bishop's daughter. 2. Age will also have a slight bearing on what you'll be able to do and what you won't be. I haven't really had any problems with this, as this one is more so about personal preference. Character sheet (used to beat the game): Gender: Female Age: 19 years Primary Skills Traits Tagged Skills -------------- ------ -------------- Strength: 4 Gifted Small Guns Perception: 6 Small Frame Melee Weapons Endurance: 6 Speech Charisma: 8 Intelligence: 9 Agility: 10 Luck: 5 Now, here are details about each of the skills and, in some cases, will describe why the skill levels were chosen for this character. MAIN SKILLS ----------- They're pretty self explanatory, but on the descriptions it tells what each skill modifies. All skills are important, but try to keep Luck, Strength, and Perception at least at 4. Characters with Intelligence values of three or less face a totally different game...the only options that you'll receive in dialogue are "Ruk" and "Eeg," as well as the occasional "Yah," "Uh-Huh," and "want morE." The average level for all skills is 5. Strength: It modifies carry weight, hit points, weapon handling, and some weapon skills. In this case, Strength is set at 4. The Power Armor will easily offset the penalty from having low strength. Perception: It modifies some skills and increases accuracy at range. A Perception of 6 will allow your character to shoot at decent range. If you take mentats, you will be able to get the Sniper perk later on. Endurance: Toughness. It modifies some skills, hit points, and resistance to poison and radiation. An Endurance of 6 was simply chosen to offset the hit point penalties incurred from the low strength. Charisma: Looks. It modifies speech and barter, as well as NPC reactions. If you divide it by two and round down, that is the number of NPC's you can have. It decreases if you get second-level armor implants. Having a Charisma of 8 will be beneficial for some dialogue options and will allow your character to have 4 NPC's. If you get armor implants, it'll go down to 7 or 6, which is still a respectable level. Intelligence: It modifies dialogue options (gives you more), skill points given per level, and 'science' skills. High intelligence is important and will enable you to complete most of the game's quests. An Intelligence of 9 won't give every dialogue option, but will be able (I think) to finish every quest available (although you'll have to repeat the game many many times; i.e., side with Hubologists in one game, the Shi in the other, etc.). Agility: Speed. It modifies many skills, armor class, and action points. It is one of the most important combat skills. An Agility of 10 will give you 10 action points, which in turn will enable you to shoot twice per round, up to 5 with the right perks and traits. Luck: It modifies critical chance, some skills, and the outcome of the game. A Luck of 5 was chosen - this is "neutral" and will buffer out most random encounters. SECONDARY SKILLS ---------------- Here is a list of other skills that you'll face. Whenever you create a character, you have to choose three tag skills. Tagging a secondary skill gives you an instant 20% bonus for that skill and 2% increase for each skill point used to increase the tag skill. Small Guns: The use of rifles, pistols, and various small arms. Be sure to tag this one, since most combat will take place with small arms. This skill can be increased by reading the popular magazine 'Guns and Bullets.' * This skill was tagged because most of the game's more practical weapons are small guns. Small guns are composed of a very diverse group of guns, from the weak pipe-rifle (pea-shooter) as well as the extremely powerful G11E and M72 guns. Big Guns: The use of miniguns, rocket launchers, and flamethrowers. This skill isn't that great because big guns are fairly easy to aim (with the given strength) and that some small arms are better than these large weapons. (And even then, energy weapons are better than all of these...) Don't tag this one, nor should you really consider building this skill. The only good guns in this selection include the Bozar, CZ53 "Avenger", and the Vindicator minigun. Energy Weapons: The use of all weapons powered by power cells. This one is good in the endgame. The selection of Energy weapons includes the strongest single-shot weapon in the game, the YK42B Pulse Rifle. Unarmed: The use of fists in combat. This skill helps early on, but it becomes pretty useless in the midgame. This is useful only in boxing rounds. Melee Weapons: The use of knives, sledgehammers, spears, and the like. * I tagged this because the Super Sledgehammer can be found early on. It's light and insanely powerful, and can knock down enemies from a long distance. Throwing: Use of throwing knives and grenades. Pretty useless, if you ask me. In the fist place, grenades are hard to find and second, even with something like 70% skill, grenades suffer from having a relatively low accuracy to hit your desired target. And grenades are quite expensive. First Aid: Recovers a few hit points. You can increase this skill with first aid books. It is pretty useless to tag or to build since you can read books (and that First Aid kits increase your success with this skill.) Doctor: Recovers a few more hit points than first aid and you can heal crippled limbs. I've healed crippled limbs with 45% skill, and a doctor's bag increases your chance of success with this skill. You should build this to 90% to research combat implants at Vault City. Sneak: The art of moving around without making people notice. I really haven't found much use for this skill. You can ignore it. Even a low skill will enable you to assassinate the President in the end-game. * Steal: Pretty self explanatory. I didn't have a need to steal from other characters, so I ignored it. And the chances of success are greatly enhanced from stealing from the back of the character. * Lockpick: The art of picking locked doors. Now this is one thief-type skill that you should pay attention to. Work on this one and build it to about 65% or so. You won't have to run through the end-game maze with a skill of 85-90% as well as a decent traps skill. NOTE: Using lockpicks increases skill by 25%. Using the upgraded lockpick sets will increase it even more. Traps: The skill of arming explosives and disarming traps. Not too important; 50% is adequate for arming explosives and detecting a few traps. It's also enough to disarm the end-game maze doors. Science: Covers primarily computers as well as biology, chemistry, physics, etc. It can be increased by reading 'The Big Book of Science.' Repair: Covers standard repair techniques. Build to about 60%. It can be increased by using the tool as well as reading 'Dean's Electronics.' NOTE: Using a tool increases skill by 25%. A Super Tool Kit will increase it even more. Speech: The act of convincing others that you are right. This skill is second to small guns, and is extremely useful in bullshitting other people. * I tagged this one - it enables your character to convince others to do what you want. You can take a diplomatic end-game approach with this skill, and will allow you to complete a few quests. Barter: This skill is used to determine trade prices. Unlike Fallout, where you would receive good prices, Fallout 2's bargains are worse - even if you raise the skill to insane levels you'll be hard-pressed to get good deals. Gambling: Again, pretty self explanatory. There are more places to gamble and more things that require lots of money (compared to Fallout), so you might consider building it up. I passed it. Outdoors: Practical knowledge of the outdoors. You can read Scout handbooks to raise this skill. This skill will determine, to a lesser extent, how far you can travel in a day and what random encounters you'll face. * One reader (Prisnr2436@aol.com) has said that he found the Sneak and Steal skills to be useful. He used the Sneak skill to open lockers that a person with low sneak would have difficulty opening (i.e., guards are around) and used the Steal skill to pilfer items from people (i.e., Bozars from the guards at NCR). DERIVED STATISTICS ------------------ Derived statistics are statistics that are a direct result of the main statistics, in other words, increase and decrease a skill and see what happens. NOTE: These are straight out from the Fallout manual. Hit Points: The number of "life" points. If it goes to zero, so will you. Formula : HP = 15 + (2 x EN) + ST. Average is 30. Armor Class: The higher it is, the harder it is for the enemy to hit you. Formula : AC = AG + Armor worn. Average is 5. Action Points: Determines what you can do during combat. They are displayed by the green lights in combat. Formula : AP = 0.5 x AG + 5. Average is 7. Carry Weight: Mass of how much equipment you can carry, rated in pounds. You can barter for more equipment than you can carry. Formula : 25 + (25 x ST). Average is 150 pounds. Melee Damage: How much extra damage your character does in melee or unarmed attacks. Formula : ST - 5, min.1. Average is 1. Damage Threshold: How much damage your armor can withstand when you are hit. Formula : DR = 0 + Armor Damage Resistance: How much damage your armor can resist when you are hit. The value given in the character screen pertains to normal attacks, while the value given in the inventory screen pertains to different types of attacks, including normal but also explosive, fire, laser, and plasma to name some. Formula : DR = 0% + Armor (Combat Armor has 40% DR) NPC Slots: How many allied NPC characters that can be in your party. Formula : NPCS = CH / 2, round down (A Charisma of 7 will give you 3 NPC slots). Average is 2 NPC slots. Poison Resistance: How much poison damage that you can resist. Formula : PR = 5 x EN. Average is 25%. Radiation Resistance: How much radiation damage that you can resist. Radiation can affect any character, and the only way to get maximum resistance is using RadX. Formula : RR = 2 x EN + Armor Resistance (Combat Armor has 30% Resistance). Average is 10%. Sequence: Determines who will attack first in combat. Higher is better. Formula : SQ = 2 x PE. Average is 10. Healing Rate: How much you can heal in three hours of rest. Formula : HR = 0.5 x EN, min.1. Average is 1. Critical Chance: Chance of scoring a critical hit on the opponent. I think it increases up to 4 times with a hit to the eyes. Formula : CC = LK. Average is 5%. * Poison is measured in units; keep it below 25. * Being 'raidiated' qualifies having a rem count of 75, with 300 or above being quite serious. A rem count of 5 or higher will bring symptoms of nausea; a rem count of 75 is quite serious, while a rem count of 300 or higher is fatal. If you have enough radiation in your body to necessiate attention, the message 'Radiation' will appear on the screen. TRAITS ------ You can choose up to two traits. Traits have both good points and bad points. Be careful in choosing traits because after you select, there's no going back. Here is a list: Fast Metabolism: Your body is much less resistant to poison and radiation, but it heals faster. Don't take this one: you'll want some poison resistance and you'll have to take two RadX's to get complete radiation resistance with or without this perk (unless you have the Rad Resistance perk or 10 endurance and Power Armor), and that there are plenty of stimpacks lying around. Don't take this one. Bruiser: Your strength is increased by two but your actions points are decreased by two. Not a good one...you'll need all the action points that you have. Small Frame: Your agility is increased by one but your carry weight drops by 30 pounds. It isn't too bad, but the carry weight decrease hurts in the beginning. It's worth it for the agility increase. One Hander: You are good with one-handed weapons but are bad with two handed weapons. Not a good choice, since the best weapons are two handed. Finesse: Your normal attacks do 30% less damage but your critical chance is increased by 10%. Not too bad of a tradeoff, but I didn't tag this one. And critical damage isn't affected. Kamikaze: Depletes your armor class to what you are wearing but increases sequence by 5. It isn't that great because 6 perception is adequate enough for sequence. Heavy Handed: Your melee damage is increased by 4 but criticals do 30% less damage. Good in the beginning, and criticals do heaps of damage anyway. But it isn't good in the end, where super mutants and deathclaws lurk around. Fast Shot: You can't aim, but your total cost is decreased by one. It isn't a bad tradeoff if you have high critical chance, and is really really good if you take the perks 'Bonus Ranged Attack,' 'Sniper,' or 'Slayer.' The turbo plasma rifle will cost 2 AP's to shoot and the super sledgehammer will only cost 1 AP with those perks. Since most of the aforementioned perks come up in the end, it is good to pass this one by. Bloody Mess: You will always see a grosteque death animation whenever you kill a critter. There really isn't a downside to this, so you can take this one if you want to. Jinxed: Everybody makes more critical failures, but so do you! If you have 9 or 10 Luck, you'll make few critical failures. Only take it if you have 9 or 10 Luck. It happens a lot more to your enemies and NPC allies rather than yourself. Good Natured: Your combat skills are decreased by 10%, but speech, doctor, science, etc. are increased by 15%. Not that great...you'll need high combat skills while 70% or so in the non-combat areas will let you go through the game easily. Chem Reliant: Your addiction rate is increased by 200%, but your withdrawal rate is only 50%. Some drugs, like RadAway, have a 10% addiction rate and no withdrawal...so, it isn't worth it. Chem Resistant: Your addiction rate is 50% of normal, but chems only last for half as long. Not too bad, since combat doesn't take a long time on the Fallout clock. Sex Appeal: To NPC's of the opposite sex, your Charisma is increased by one. The inverse holds true for NPC's of the same sex. Skilled: You get 5 extra skill points per level, but you get a perk every four levels. You'll want those perks as early as possible...they are quite useful. Pass this one on. Gifted: All of your primary stats are increased by one, but you get 5 fewer skill points per level and your secondary skills are lowered by 10%. This is among the best traits, since there are only a few skills that you really need to work on. PERKS ----- At certain points in the game (after each 3rd level or 4th level with skilled) you will be able to pick a perk for your character. Perks are different than traits in that they only offer positive things; obviously, there are many useless perks and a select few that absolutely shine. After the detailed list of perks, a short list will follow that will include the "good" perks. Note that there is a primary statistic level for most perks. You can take drugs (e.g., Mentats or Buffout) to get perks that you wouldn't normally get. This is especially useful for Sniper/Slayer as they have fairly high skill requirements.
