ABOUT THIS GUIDE
---------------------------

After playing the excellent game Fallout extensively, I have decided to share
what I believe is the best, easiest possible way to not only solve every quest
in the game, but also to achieve such hallmarks as obtaining the maximum level
possible for your character, increasing your stats to their maximum levels,
and finding out why exactly the world of Fallout is as it is in the first
place. I did not write this guide in order to explain things to you, however;
you will have to make your own discoveries regarding the plot and sub-themes
in the game.

A. Gettin' Started
===================================


1. Your Character
---------------------
This guide really refers only to one type of character, but it is, in my
opinion, the character best suited for the completion and enjoyment of the
game.

What I advise you to do:

STR: 5
END: 5
PEC: 7
INT: 7
CHR: 5
AGI: 5
LCK: 6

Why I advise you to do this: Increased Perception lets you shoot things with
guns a long way away with more accuracy. Increased Intelligence lets you gain
more skill points per level, and also increases the amount of experience you
get from certain tasks. Increased Luck actually helps quite a bit -- you're
more likely to succeed in using skills, hitting targets, causing critical
hits, gambling well, and basically doing anything you want to do a little
better. Besides, if you don't have sufficient luck, there's no way you'll be
able to find the ULTIMATE WEAPON in Fallout.

My preferred tag skills:

Small Guns (recommended above all other skills. Being able to shoot guns
good is ESSENTIAL to blazing through Fallout without a whole lot of fuss.)

Gambling (get your gambling skills over about 75% with good luck and you'll
never have to worry about money. EVER.)

The last is a toss-up between Energy Weapons and Speech. Speech is always
good to have, but Energy Weapons is a necessity a lot sooner than you'd think
-- and a tag helps a LOT to become proficient in their use earlier.

My preferred Traits are Skilled and Gifted. Gifted is an awesome trait -- +1
point to every attribute for the cost of 5 skill points per level, a decrease
in your overall skill percentages, and a perk every four levels instead of
three (which has never bothered me, I don't rely on perks). To balance out
the loss of skill percentages, I choose Skilled -- it will bring your skills
back to beyond their original levels and negate the loss of skill points that
Gifted causes. So basically, with these two, you gain +1 to all attributes
and a few percentage points for all skills for the cost of decreased Perk
frequency. In my eyes, it's an easy choice.

The name, sex, and age of your character are inconsequential.


2. Some Rather Important Game Tips
------------------------------------------

My game tips aren't like anybody else's, I guarantee. But I can get a level
17 character in a day, and I always get at least 100,000 caps before I cease
my play, so go figure.

1. In combat, always use targeted shots if using a rifle or pistol of any
kind. Try to get close to your enemy, and shoot them repeatedly in the
eyeballs. Usually, with a good Luck and good Perception and good Small Guns
skills, you can kill any foe in one good shot by doing this.

2. When browsing over your fallen foes' corpses, pick up only money and
healing chems (unless you happen to see they have better guns or armor than
yours, or you need ammo -- and then leave behind any discarded munitions or
armor on their bodies.) Carrying around thirty guns and leather jackets is
really pointless. Take what you need, but don't play the pack rat.

3. Don't use Stimpaks or the like unless you're severely wounded (your HP
counter is yellow). Stimpaks are your friends -- but don't waste them.
You'll be a lot happier if you end the game by facing the legions of minigun
toting super mutants with an inventory of 150+ Stimpaks -- quite easy if
you're conservative throughout the game.

4. Don't do drugs. Drugs are bad. (Actually, this is a personal thing; if
you enjoy being addicted to chems and having the wildly fluxuating stats that
accompanies their use, then be my guest. I just stay away from them; I don't
need them.)

5. Be careful who you kill. Don't shoot little kids, even by accident -- I
hate nothing more than to have important people who I plan on completing
quests for suddenly start shooting me because of a bad shot -- if this
happens, reload your game and try again.

6. SAVE OFTEN. I MEAN, A LOT. I MEAN, SAVE AFTER EVERY BATTLE, EVERY
JOURNEY FROM TOWN TO TOWN, EVERY LITTLE THING THAT SEEMS IN THE REMOTEST WAY
RELEVANT TO THE GAME. A good character can get you through the game easily,
but that doesn't mean that some yahoo with a 10mm piece of crap can't get
lucky and critically hit you in the eyeball for 274 HP worth of damage. And
if that happens while you're two steps from beating the game, and you saved
back after leaving Vault 13 the first time, you're not going to be real nice
to friends and family for days following.

7. GET THE PATCH to v1.1! This is essential. Not only does it fix a lot of
stupid bugs and glitches, it removes the time limit from the game -- if you
don't get it, you'll have to complete the game in 500 days, and that really
sucks. Trust me. So UPGRADE.

8. Personally, I prefer to play the Good Guy. I just like being the champion
of humanity in this game, though it's a choice you could deviate from and
still have fun with the game. However, there are more experience points to be
gained from peaceful solutions to problems, and being a Good Guy will
definitely get the right people to like you in the right situations. Just a
thought to ponder.

9. Here is a list of Perks that will, I assure you, help you to become a
walking incarnation of death in the world.

For your first Perk, choose Toughness. Choose it again a few times until
something better comes along. I prefer to gain all three ranks of it, the 30%
damage resistance boost makes me laugh derisively later on when raiders
attempt in vain to do even a single HP worth of damage to me.

More criticals is another Perk I like to stock up in. More criticals is fun.

Here's the best Perk combo in the game:
Action Boy (one rank)
Bonus Rate of Fire (must be
