I had 100 speech by level 7. You want to max out your three tagged skills with an emphasis on one at a time, and then start increasing other skills. So much better than being mediocre at everything.Blade4509 wrote:

What did I do wrong here?
Did they just forget.• One background story is shown, Chinese Agent. The background story takes place before the bombs fell. The player is part of a team of Crimson Dragoons infiltrating Hoover Dam. You manage to sneak through the Americans’ defenses, set explosives, and head to an extraction point, but your escape is cut off by American soldiers in Power Armor. The player and other survivors of the Crimson Dragoons take refuge in a cave in the canyons, where they commit hari kari with cyanide capsules. The player about to do the same when the bombs fall. The background story ends an indeterminate time later, when the player exits the cave, removes his helmet, and sees his ghoulish reflection in the waters of the Colorado River.
• The background story segues into character creation. The player can customize the appearance of the ghoul, and you see you start the game with two unique perks. One, similar to the Ghoul Mask in Fallout 3, makes Feral Ghouls non-aggro. The other makes the player immune to radiation sickness and allows the player to discharge accumulated radiation in a blast similar to a Glowing Ghoul, healing the player and any mutants while damaging all non-mutants in range.
• By default, the Chinese Agent has the skills Sneak, Small Arms, and Explosives tagged and SPECIAL stats set, although the player can modify their tagged skills and stats if they don’t like the template.
• One character background option is Lone Wanderer. This selection has no background story or template and is a complete blank slate for players.

I'm glad they did forget about backstories, those things are either useless (I.E mass effect) or shitSpidery_Yoda wrote:
Whatever happened to the thing that was in earlier previews where you chose your backstory/race etc for your character and you had slightly different game experiences based on each one?

About 2/3s, assuming you have already chosen a faction to commit to. There are also several side-quests that tie into the next part of the main quest as you need to figure out what to do with the Khans, Boomers, BoS, White Gloves, and Omertas.Bevo wrote:
