When you see red on your compass ahead of you on the road, cut across the field Southeast. Skip through the conversation with the fella that tells you Primm is off limits and keep heading South. On the Southern road you'll arrive at Primm first. This is VERY handy on Hardcore (our only full playthrough). If you want, search around South/Southeast of Goodsprings for Goodsprings Source, a radiation free water source you can fast travel back to if you get hurt to replenish dehydration and hit points any time you want. Deathclaws in the Northern fork will eat you for breakfast at level 1. Keep heading South and when you hit the fork in the road with the sign pointing to Vegas, resist the urge to turn that way and keep going South. Don't worry, the main story isn't going anywhere. Other than Educated, you want to take Intense Training a full 10 times, putting one point into INT, 4 points into END, 3 points into STR, one into Luck and one into PER, making sure to do INT first.Įxit the Doc's house and follow the road South out of town. Reminder: As you level, take the Educated perk as soon as you can for the additional skill points between levels. Be careful talking to the doc at the exit go slow so you can make sure to turn on Hardcore mode when prompted otherwise you need to start character creation over again. Before you leave the house, look in a metal box in a door to your left for a Laser Pistol and some Energy Cells. For your two 'traits', take Skilled and Good Natured. Reset the skills chosen for you and take Speech, Lockpick, and Energy Weapons. You can Skip through all the questions and ink blots since you're going to pick your skills anyway.

Next you have a sit-down with doc and do some psycho analysis mumbo jumbo. We will get all the important ones to 10 and the rest will be respectable. Distribute them as such:Ħ STR, 5 Per, 5 End, 4 Cha, 8 INT (for more skill points between levels), 5 Agi, 7 Luck

The doc will have you walk over to a vigor tester and decide on your S.P.E.C.I.A.L.
