Weapons will jam more while reloading and deal less damage as their condition worsens, and damaged armor will protect against less damage. As weapons and armor are used, their status will deteriorate, being less effective in combat. The second tab, вЂњITEMSвЂќ, is your inventory, where you can equip, drop, or repair weapons and armor, use вЂњAidвЂќ items, or manage miscellaneous items and ammo. H20, FOD and SLP show thirst, hungry and tired your character is, on a scale from one to one thousand. NoteДЇinally, the EFF tab shows what active effects you have, either from injuries, radiation poisoning, water, food or sleep deprivation, or bonuses gained from attire. Pick whether you want to play the game in Hardcore Mode, then leave the doctorвЂ™s office. Then heвЂ™ll proceed to give you some advice on who is worth talking to around town before finally letting you go.

Small Frame is probably the best of the remaining, as it boosts your Agility without imposing a significant handicap.ДЇollow Doc Mitchell to the door and heвЂ™ll give you whatever gear you had on you before you decided to headbutt a bullet, as well as his old Pip-Boy 3000 and some clothes. Not all perks are created equal, and neither are all traits definitely pick the Skilled trait (by and far the best trait in the game) and up to one other trait of your choosing. Traits are like perks, except they typically have a downside (whereas perks are usually solely beneficial). Lastly, Doc Mitchell will ask you to fill out a form about your medical history, which allows you to pick your traits. Again, this is all covered in greater detail in the Character Creation section of the guide, but for those who canвЂ™t be bothered to read it, start out by tagging the Science, Lockpick and either Speech or Survival (only Tag! Survival if you plan to play the game in Hardcore Mode). These skills get a +15 bonus when starting out, making them most likely your highest skills at the moment. Once done, follow Doc Mitchell into another room and endure a word-association test and a rorschach test which serve to set your Tag! skills. YouвЂ™ll get a chance to modify your characters shortly. Assign your SPECIAL Attributes as you see fit (left) and assign whatever traits you wish to begin the game with (right).
