Fallout 2: How do YOU play?

[Psychochef]

Heh. So I haven't posted in a while. I've been distracted by Fallout 2. It's ALWAYS fun to play again, even years after it's release, and it really sucks you in (as evidenced by my recent absence!)

But I started thinking. There are so many different ways of playing Fallout, that it really CAN be a different experience every time. I also realized that I almost never vary my playing style! I tag Speech, Small Guns, and Doctor and play a sharpshooter who can talk his way out of most situations and heal himself and others pretty well. And while I like that mix, I'm starting to think I'm limiting myself.

So I now ask you, Escapist community. What's your play style? How do you like to go through Fallout?

I've done fairly close to your build before. It's a good one, that's why you go back to it.

I've played as a Chem Monster melee masher and a pure smooth talker that eventually got herself beat senseless because I didn't have enough combat skills.

Usually as a crit-whoring HtH character with high int. Extremely fun after getting Power Armor.

I spent all my skill points so I could steal things well. Most of the game consisted of me running away from stuff, weighed down by all the crap I couldn't use.

I like to play as a Thief or a Badass Gunslinger type. I'm almost always a good guy though.
