    This is a place where people can ask for suggestions of new builds to play regarding Fallout 3, New Vegas and 4 - hopefully it'll spread awareness of some which have got lost under the weight of numbers, and save us from having to rifle through everything when looking for a new character.

    This is NOT for asking for help with your own builds. Please post in the Character Building Help Desk if you need such assistance. 

    And don't forget, every build on the Vault is well organzied in the Fallout Chracter Buidling Archive by playstyle and game, using tags.

    Examples:

    1. "I'm looking for a sneaky build with a gameplay twist."

    - "Have a look at Noodles's Neuromancer, the Psychic Infiltrator! This build combines a stealthy sniper playstyle with telekinesis AND telepathy or, as the author puts it, mind control."

    2. "I want to play something resembling a mechanic, allowing me to get busy modding stuff."

    - "Look no further than Motty's Gearhead! This build lets you mod guns, power armor and robots!"

    3. "I want something that will let me explore some of Fallout 4's major dlcs."

    - "If you're looking to set sail for Far Harbour and don't mind some extra radiation, make sure you stop by Amornar's Atom's Bulwark. Else, if you're looking for a ride in one of Nuka World's parks, go and buy your tickets from Crooks's Nukalutionary."

    If you're looking for a cool looking armor / power armor / modded robot combo feel free to browse The Fallout Mecha - Armor Combo Catalogue! Even if you are not recommeneded a character build fitting your request, you might be inspired to make your own by looking at the combos in the catalogue!

    Beautiful! Let's test this out - I'm looking for a playthrough that would be good for raiding the Commonwealth as an evil character...help?

    Hmm... There's The Disciple by Albino and The Warlord by Amornar. Additionally there's The Anarchist by Raid and The Black Widow by Daryl Sawatzky.

    I am a Skyrim fanatic who is interested in Fallout 4 (both on the PS4), and my current favorite Fallout build idea is a sniper.

    Are there some good pre-made builds that favor the sniper?

    Also, what faction would you recommend?

    BTW, these builds need to be for Fallout 4 for the PS4.
