Any general suggestions for what skills to throw most of my points behind? I haven't played many RPGs, so it's kind of a foreign concept to me. Is there any particular strategy you should use (i.e. is it best to just balance everything out, only focus on your few main skills)? I suppose it depends on what type of player you want to be...but is there any type of player that will be better for this game?

I went with Small Guns and Speech, which is what I usually did in Fallout 2. I also tagged Barter, but I probably should've picked something like Repair or Medicine.
I'm having a blast playing this game. Blowing off someone's head never gets old.

I did small guns, speech, and lockpicking. I used to steal alot in the previous games, but it's alot harder now.
Also, why is lockpicking so hard for me? I break so many bobby pins.

I've only tried one lock (in the Supermarket), and I wasn't really sure what I was doing. I succeeded, though, but I think it was a Very Easy lock.

I am considering buying this, but I have a couple of questions.
I bought Oblivion blind on the reviews/threads here.
I played it two separate times, with two different character types. The first time I did a quick/fast archer type character and focused mainly the side quests, and enjoyed that for the most part.
The second time I was a heavy character. I liked this because I could use more weapons and armor. I focused on and beat the main quest, and that got old and repetitive quite fast.
How does fallout compare? i think the future aspect may be enjoyable, but if that is the only difference, I may pass/wait.

How does the leveling up work in this? I remember in Oblivion, if you didn't go to sleep, you didn't level up. I played through once and leveled up at every chance, and the enemies were damn hard doing it that way. Then i played some without leveling up, and it was much easier, but I couldn't get a lot of the cool things that higher levels gave.

As for skills, Repair, Repair, Repair! You will make lots of money doing this (while not being constantly encumbered by your loot). Simply Upgrade any weapon you get duplicates of and you can sell them for much more money. It is also great for increasing the damage of your weapons. It is easily the most needed skill in the game.

The trick is to push the screwdriver just until the bobby pin starts jiggling. As soon as it does, back off with the screwdriver and adjust the bobby pin. The lock will open when you have the bobby pin at the perfect angle. The further you are from that angle, the less the lock will turn when you push the screwdrier. So you just have to keep adjusting the bobby pin until you get the correct angle.

From what I read, when you enter a zone, the enemies are "locked" at your level so when you return 5 levels later, you can squash them easily. If you jsut run around entering every zone early on, you could lock them all into lower levels.
