Personally I got my medicine skill up so I could get the cyborg perk. Medicine – One of those skills that can go either way. Without it, you will be unable to open many of the containers scattered throughout the wasteland, thus denying yourself and pretty substantial pile of loot. Lockpick – This is an essential skill to max out. Past that, I think you’re better off investing your skill points elsewhere. I would suggest getting this skill to 25 so you can disarm the bomb in Megaton. The plasma rifle is a must have if you intend on being able to kill enemies in the later stages of the game.Įxplosives – Not a really important skill to have. Energy weapons make an appearance later in the game, and for most people become the primary weapons used. Plus, several energy weapons and small guns do as much or more damage than some big guns.Įnergy Weapons – I maxed out this skill to 100. Big guns, although fun, are harder to find ammo for and aren’t as easily found as energy weapons and small guns. I just felt I’d rather be able to snipe a guy from a longer distance than get 5 extra caps for selling a carton of cigarettes.īig Guns – Once again I did not put many points into this skill, and only after the skills I relied on were maxed out. Between skill books and the bobblehead, I did not feel it was necessary to put anymore points into it.

Bobbleheads for a certain skill will raise that skill by 10 points when you collect it.īelow is a quick synopsis of my opinion of each skill:īarter – I did not invest any points into this skill. Scattered across the wasteland you will find books that raise a certain skill by one point by simply reading it.ĥ. Some perks raise certain skills for you from 5 points up to 30 points.Ĥ. When you level up you will have around 15-25 skill points to assign to any skill you want.ģ. Instead, tagging a skill in this game simply adds 15 points to it.Ģ.

Unlike in Oblivion, the tagged skills in this game do not raise faster. In the beginning of the game you have the ability to tag three skills. Your skills have a few ways of being raised:ġ. There are thirteen skills in all, some of which you may not need depending on your character type.
