    The female one biased towards intelligence and conversational skills.

    Really I should have foreseen difficulties given that the game opens with a series of "kill a number of critters with this spear" objectives.

    basically the game without 6 or 7 str is impossible

    you prolly don't have the strength to hold your gun properly

    also you can steal people's weapons if you can pickpocket

    I did for that section, the problems usually relate to critters with which conversation is impossible.

    Actually I just left it a little while ago because I set off for vault city and the game told me I had died for some reason.

    I have strength 3, so the ranged weapons I can use are limited. It seems I'm basically fucked.

    I just finished up playing a game of space hulk against myself to see if some strategies I had in my head actually worked.

    They were scarily efficient. I can't wait to try some of this stuff on VH.

    I've never played a character with strength that high. I just used the smaller guns with more finesse. And preferably avoided fights I couldn't win.

    Really, the game is designed with three styles of play in mind: talky, shooty, and sneaky. And the shooty can be divided into finesse shooty, blow everything up shooty, and run up and beat to death not actually shooty at all.

    an outlaw motorcycle gang in the city of Charming, CA (which i believe is fictional, as I've lived in CA my whole life and never heard of it. Supposed to be somewhere around Lodi/Amador Co. which is where I'm from/live now). It's pretty cool for a show about biker criminals.

    Sounds pretty cool!

    Sorry, I have strength 4, I was remembering it as one less than the minimum strength for the pipe rifle, I just checked and that's 5, not 4.

    The only other person in the party is Vic.

    EDIT: I definitely haven't come across explosives or super stimpacks. At this point I can't afford regular stimpacks.

    yep, but I just used the lighter ones until I got energy weapons, which have very low str requirements.

    edit: and I am talking about starting strength, not strength after perks and enhancements.
