My first character had 70,000+ caps without ever gambling by the time I finished the game so therefore I don't need the luck for slots. I already finished a playthrough with a guns character and this melee character blows the other one away, does twice as much damage and enemies drop twice as fast. Why would this be? So is gambling bascially rigged then? I thought gambling was basically random and not rigged.Īnd Its very successful at level 11 so far using melee weapons. When I made my character, I was told not to gamble. This makes the game a bit harder withou increasing the difficulty level for me. I know any companions I have will be weaker, and my % chance for getting criticals is way lower. Am I wrong here?Īlso from what I gather, Luck is mostly for playing gambling. So the only reason I can see picking a medium or high Charisma is to get your Speech and Barter skills up higher, but otherwise, it doesn't come into play in New Vegas.

It seems that in New Vegas, this is more of your Intelligence and some options you pick in perks. Do we really need charisma in the game? From what I get, unlike Fallout 3, where if you have a high enough Charisma you get extra options to pick in dialougue.
