This is my planned Fallout 3 character, and is my first attempt, so please give any helpful comments. This character is meant to use the buildings to act as a sniper point, gaining entry with "Lockpick" "Infiltrator" and "Computer Whiz", killing enemies in the buildings with small arms, and close combat weaponry. If any enemies are unaware and sleeping "Mr Sandman" takes care of them. He avoids traps with "Light Step" and uses sniper weaponry to kill enemies from afar.

This is just a plan, so if anyone has any constructive comments to help me inprove his design, please give them.

Also, please note, he is NOT built to engage in long-term close fighting. He is meant to hit quickly, quietly and above all, with surprise. He is meant to kill the enemy before they see him, then, if noticed by others, quickly move positions, using light weaponry and melee to clear out a new building to snipe from.

I'll just address the Perks for now...

Computer Whiz => **REPLACE** Just save the game before you attempt to hack a terminal or/and back out of the hack attempt when you have only one more try left (the count will reset on next attempt).
Educated => **REPLACE** You're already 'technically' wasting skill points (due to the number of books in the game and your 9 INT).
Gun Nut => **REPLACE** You'll be maxed out on Skills by the end of the game without wasting 3 Perks (due to books and 9 INT).
Here and Now => **REPLACE** No need to waste a Perk to level when there is a level cap in the game (30).
Infiltrator => **REPLACE** Just save the game before you attempt to pick a lock or/and back out of the pick attempt when you think the pick will break (usually around third bad turn).
Intense Training => **REPLACE** Why waste four Perks when you'll be taking Almost Perfect?
Light Step => **OPTIONAL** I personally don't take this Perk so I can make XP off of disarming traps (ex. Bear traps still go off but don't hurt you). Plus it only works on ground based traps (not all traps are).
Mister Sandman => **OPTIONAL** Good for farming XP and Items (by killing Rivet City Guards) but not so useful 'in the wild' as most MOBs won't be asleep.
Night Person => **REPLACE** Useless after you get Almost Perfect.
Puppies => **OPTIONAL** I personally don't use followers.
Scrounger => **OPTIONAL** I find it useful on some characters.
Strong Back => **OPTIONAL** I find it useful on some characters.
Tag! => **REPLACE** You're already 'technically' wasting skill points (due to the number of books in the game and your 9 INT).
Warmonger => **OPTIONAL** I find it useful on some characters. Especially if you want all of your items @ 125% and messed up a way to get a particular recipe.
