Sneak

The higher your Sneak skill, the easier it is to remain undetected, steal and item, or pick someone’s pocket. Successfully attack while undetected grants an automatic critical hit.

Sneak is a nice skill that allows you to steal loot, score sneak attack criticals, and move past enemies when you’d rather avoid (or at least delay) a fight. Most items can be stolen by being patient and waiting for potential witnesses to leave, and sneak attack criticals are more easy to score than ever, now that you have iron sights and don’t need to approach as close. Both of these factors mean you really don’t need a Sneak score that’s terribly high, although if you want to sneak anywhere near an enemy, much less past one, you’re going to want the Silent Running perk… which requires an obligatory minimum investment of 50 Sneak. You can wait a while before investing in Sneak, since you don’t need to sneak much (in combat at least, where a high skill matters) until you have the Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle.

The year is 2281 - two hundred years after the old world was eradicated by nuclear fire - and now the New California Republic has become powerful along the western coast of what used to be the United State of America. They’ve expanded east into Nevada, but across the Colorado river to the east a united army of tribals - Caesar’s Legion - have been organized under the guise of ancient Rome. War never changes, and impending conflict looms between the two sides, the prize being the Hoover Dam and control over the Mojave. Stuck in the middle are the residents of Nevada and the jewel in the desert; the city of New Vegas. But the mysterious overlord of New Vegas has his own plans for the future of the Mojave…

You are Courier six, an employee of the Mojave Express who has been entrusted with delivering a mysterious Platinum Chip. The delivery goes horribly awry, however, and after you are robbed and nearly killed for the package you were carrying, you must set out in pursuit of your attackers. Along the way you’ll have to navigate the political struggles between factions both large and small, making friends and enemies between the various groups as your actions in the Mojave influence your reputation. Ultimately, a new overlord of the Mojave will be crowned… but will you place that crown upon the brow of Caesar, the New California Republic, the mysterious ruler of New Vegas… or yourself?
