Speech, in Fallout 3, is kind of useless. Most people will tell you that Lockpick is essential, and Science is really important. Ultimately, you should end up with nearly full skill points but depending on the special perks you get your character will naturally be better at specific things. You can only have like, 29 perks total or something like that, so don’t waste them on Skillpoint-granting perks like Daddy’s Girl or anything that isn’t Comprehension or Educated. You should focus on what’s important to the success of your character early on, in terms of your skills and the perks you choose. Your character’s progression is tied to your INT so don’t knee-cap yourself. First off, Fallout is fairly forgiving, but you gotta go high Intelligence.
