How should you distribute your skill points in Fallout New Vegas?

Answer 1

Fallout New Vegas is a Game which spend a lot of time in conversations with NPC's so it is important to have a healthy if not maxed out Speech skill. Things like Barter, Science and Medicine are also useful in conversations but also in other respects. There are also plenty of locked doors and safes in the game so a player should aim to be at 100 lock pick skill later in the game as picking a lock is nearly essential in some optional and main missions. Repair and Guns are also very useful as upgrading weapons is not necessary but helpful later in the game and there is a lot of combat in the game and guns will be the main form of weapons used as until the later stages of the game when more expensive and generally more powerful or useful Energy weapons become more common on enemy and in shops.
