How important is crafting? Should I be scooping up as much random scrap and bitz as I can? Or can I just leave a lot of it? I'm finding it kinda hard to distinguish between what's worth keeping and what isn't sometimes.Īre there any essential perks/skills/whatnots I should be aware of? I took Educated as soon as it unlocked, as it looked great- any others? Mostly favoring guns, but I've put some skill points in unarmed as a backup, just in case. So far, I'm at about level 4 or 5, and I'm getting ready to poke around the old rocket factory to chase out some mutants. (Speech and Barter being separate skills, for example). I'd originally thought it was going to be "Skyrim with guns and mutants," but there's enough differences to throw me for a loop. It's actually my first Fallout game, so I'm kind of going in a little blind. On a whim, I picked up New Vegas yesterday.
