    One more question: Luck. Worth investing into semi-heavily, say to 7 for Critical Banker and Better Criticals?

    This is what I have been trying. I can't remember where I read it, but someone stated that they treated criticals as a resource to be managed. I have to say having extra critical shots banked up has saved me a couple times, and is a real comfort for those tight spots. Haven't yet perked into Better Crits, so I've obviously survived without it. I started with Luck 7, but I'm thinking I might try it as a mid-game investment and prioritize other perks.

    Did not know that. I'll take Action Girl eventually, but at the moment since I'm relying on my sniper (very little VATS) and my explosive combat rifle (some VATS but isn't as important), who needs VATS when you have explosions? It wont be something I'm desperate for.

    Speaking of changes to perks, did night person always have a 3rd rank that would give you 30 points of health between 6pm and 6am?

    Didn't know about Action Boy either. Gotta get that DLC!

    I do not think Night Person did, because I wasn't aware of it till you mentioned it. Would that make a worthwhile difference though?

    Not really sure it makes much difference, but I've got it  I had night person for the Perception boost and night vision and when I saw it I was like "why not?"

    I'm not messing with them in my play through. But, I would def choose banking over better. Saving them for the legendary run-ins or coursers or radscorpions can be life savers. I've gone more the sneak multiplier route. So my first contact takes so much of their life off, criticals aren't necessary.

    True, that's a good thought. Maybe I'll reserve it for a late-term investment if I have extra perk points to play with. Since I have that low AGI right now, I don't get those high sneak multipliers.

    Did you invest in sandman for those silenced kill percentages?

    I've only got 5 in luck and that lets me build up crits fairly fast so I'm not that worried about it. I also have Ninja and sneak fully perked I mostly just rely on sneak damage if I need to kill something like a deathclaw in one hit.

    True enough! I might jump into it once I take care of the other priorities.

    yup. Deliverer. Overseer's guardian silenced with a .308.  I wasn't messing around with this Survival Mode :)
