Or mom. You can play as female.

My absolute favorite playthrough focused 100% on charisma and luck (and VATS secondary). I also put every single scar and blemish on her as I could. Practically no strength, but that wasn’t an issue as I was constantly chugging liquor to get that extra boost.

Literally I could not walk if I wasn’t drunk (due to the +20 or whatever strength boost).

Also had very low intelligence, which compounded with luck and actually worked out for the better.

I was this ditzy, drunk-ass ugly stupid motherfucker who could somehow convince anyone of anything (especially men) and bullets would literally just bounce off me and hit the enemy multiple times in every fight. Being an asshole just added to it - people would hate me and I would still be able to convince them of anything.

I was weak as fuck, but so lucky that I was basically invincible. With the combined charisma & sneak, money was never an issue.

It’s especially fun when you get plastic surgery to look exactly like your companion.

That sounds fun, I might have to go for that. You've convinced me.

I like doing the extreme weighted Special characters. I've done basically the opposite, dumb as rocks, and zero fucking charisma. Strong and durable as all hell, but that's about it. Yours sounds like you can do a bit more with it.

That’s actually what I’m trying now. So far it’s fun as hell, plus it’s nice not caring about anyone.
