In this part, the guide focuses on how to effectively build a character in Fallout 3, particularly emphasizing the importance of managing special attributes and skill points to create a powerful avatar. Special attributes, often referred to by the acronym “S.P.E.C.I.A.L.” affect all character skills, and increasing these attributes enhances corresponding skills by two points, except for luck which increases all skills by half a point and critical strike chances by 1%. A key recommendation is to prioritize boosting intelligence to 9 points, leveraging in-game collectables called bobble heads to eventually max out attributes. This strategy helps maximize the skill points gained with each level-up, making the character more adaptable and powerful throughout the game.

Combat, support, and secondary skills are categorized, and advice is given on which to prioritize, such as preferring small guns for combat due to their commonality, choosing repair in support skills for equipment maintenance efficiency, and explaining the utility of secondary skills like barter, lock-picking, and science for economic benefits and accessing secured areas.

In this part of the video, the focus is on optimizing the character’s skills and leveling strategy in the game. The narrator advises players to distribute skill points wisely based on the skills they will use frequently. Upon exiting the vault, players should head straight to Rivet City without leveling up to avoid unnecessary combat. Specific directions to Rivet City are provided, stressing the importance of not engaging enemies to keep from gaining experience points. Once in Rivet City, the player should head to the science lab to collect the Intelligence bobblehead, which maximizes their Intelligence stat, allowing the distribution of more points upon leveling up. Additionally, choosing the “educated” perk at level 4 is recommended, as it grants extra points per level, ultimately giving players a significant advantage in skill points by level 20.
