Fallout 2 character creation: explore gender and age impacts, and a recommended 'highly-tuned' female character build.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When creating your character in Fallout 2, you can choose to be male or female. While for the most part gender does not significantly impact gameplay, there are subtle differences that can be taken into account.
  2. 2
    Females:
    • In The Den, females can engage in sexual activity with a bartender in The Hole for $200.
  3. 3
    Females can also engage in sexual activity with Joey, a gangster, though apparently for no reward.
  4. 4
    A major advantage for females is the ability to engage in sexual activity with Metzger to purchase Vic for half the normal price.
  5. 5
    In Modoc, females can marry either Miria or Davin.
  6. 6
    In New Reno, females will face difficulty convincing Stuart to sign them up for the boxing championships.
  7. 7
    Females can engage in sexual activity with T-Ray, the chop-shop mechanic, to get their car back after he steals it, and can engage in sexual activity with him again to receive upgrades.
  8. 8
    Males:
    • In The Den, males can pay a prostitute for services.
  9. 9
    In Modoc, males can only marry Miria.
  10. 10
    In Vault City, males can date Phyllis for experience.
  11. 11
    Males can also donate sperm to diversify the genetic base in Vault City.
  12. 12
    In New Reno, males must pay the car mechanics to retrieve their car without resorting to violence.
  13. 13
    Males are able to engage in sexual activity with Angela, Bishop's daughter.
  14. 14
    Age also has a slight bearing on what you will be able to do. While not a major issue, it is more a matter of personal preference.
  15. 15
    The recommended character build for beating the game is a 19-year-old female with the following stats and skills:
    • Gender: Female
  16. 16
    Age: 19 years
  17. 17
    Primary Skills: Strength: 4, Perception: 6, Endurance: 6, Charisma: 8, Intelligence: 9, Agility: 10, Luck: 5
  18. 18
    Traits: Gifted, Small Frame
  19. 19
    Tagged Skills: Small Guns, Melee Weapons, Speech
Tips
  • The pre-selected characters in Fallout 2 can finish the game. Chitsa is considered the best due to her high intelligence, enabling her to complete most quests.
  • Narg is a melee fighter, which is generally ineffective as most good weapons in Fallout 2 are ranged.
  • Mingan, a thief-type character, is poor at combat and not particularly strong.
  • The character build presented is a heavily modified version of Chitsa, using her as a base.
  • This character build, combined with obtaining Power Armor early (around or after Vault City), is largely responsible for the high and low stats featured.
