Hey there, this is my first time editing wikis, so cut me some slack.
I found this wiki extraordinary useful for Fallout, so I thought I'd contribute

- This is my attempt to build a Fallout 3 Character that has maxed out Skills and nearly maxed out SPECIAL based on the research done in Talk:Fallout 3 SPECIAL#Maximum build
- Once your skills are maxed out, you can play this character in nearly every play style, but the equipment and perks lend itself to rifles or Big Guns. Any "two handed Weapon" used in vats will be phenomenally successful.
- The crucial thing to remember with this build is that it relies of collecting all the skill books in the game, and read them all after getting the Comprehension perk at level 4
- If you collect every book and bobblehead in the game, you only need to allocate 45 points to each of your skills.
- After reading User:Bloodwars#Skill Points & The Case For Stupidity I've reduced the builds Intelligence to 4, which is the bare minimum, in favor of some more Endurance
- I've been debating switching out Scrounger for Bloody Mess. Having extra ammo is always useful, especially if you're playing on a higher difficulty level. Also, the wording behind Bloody Mess is a bit unclear. If it is simply a base 5% damage modifer, then it's worth having, but if it is actually a +5 to all weapon skills (Big Guns, Energy Weapons, Explosives, Melee Weapons, Small Guns and Unarmed), it's not worth taking.
- In future Fallout 3 add-ons, the level cap may be raised. In that case, this build will become even more powerful, allowing for more perks, and possible maximization of SPECIAL
- This build is a work in progress. Any help improving it would be much appreciated.
