Though I'll admit I didn't go running off to the Mothership or the Outcasts from the start of the game either, lol. But still, yeesh. They keep sticking stupidly powerful enemies in my way everywhere that eat up all of my resources.
Eh, I always did Lockpick/Science/Repair first (5/level) and foremost and whatever points I had left got split between Small Guns, Sneak, and Medicine. It takes awhile for you to get strong, sure, but it pays off in the end run.
Better repairs means your stuff functions better, sneak lets you fight less crap (and start the battle with a huge damage bonus), and medicine means using less stims to stay alive. And Sm Guns... while they do less damage than other stuff, the ammo is more plentiful.
That's FO:NV, not FO3 lol. In FO3, about the best you can do is find&fix a bunch of guns and sell them, and then buy the ammo they got. Which I just did, and now things are looking up. Finally got enough resources to raid the national guard depot and now 3-4 of my skills are almost maxed out. Finally starting to actually do some damage.
