Almost Perfect
It is purpose built to get all the bobbleheads except Energy Weapons by level 4. I do this for several reasons; 1) It makes the game, which I have played many many times all the way through, more enjoyable and more difficult. It's like a game within a game, and 2) it makes the perks much easier to plan for when the prerequisites are nearly complete by level 6 for every perk in the game. It puts the focus on game play for most of the builds life and not resource managing.
The gist of the play style to achieve this is easy. At 2 after leveling up and getting Megaton as a way point and talk to Moira so I can start the Wasteland Survival Guide questline, I take Minefield as the first part so I can home in on the Scrapyard where Dogmeat is at. I head to Rivet City to get the Intelligence Bobblehead. I avoid fighting and make sure to avoid discovering areas as much as possible except for the Flooded Metro (we are coming right back there soon to get the Luck bobblehead).
After I get that and talk to Zimmer and Abraham Washington for the Replicated Man and Stealing Independence quest lines respectively I roll on out and get Dogmeat, again avoiding unwanted experience. I really enjoy this part of the game play as it is harder than you might imagine. It's not for the impatient that's for sure.
When I have Dogmeat I let him tank everything. He is very tough but you will need to watch him (stand back from him a bit and you can watch his Hit points and the mobs. If he gets dangerously low compared to what he is fighting talk to him and give him a stim pack. At that level 1 stim pack completely heals him) I watch the mob and will put one bullet in them to finish them off, but be careful not to do more damage than Dogmeat. You will inadvertently ( I do ) but being conscious of it is mandatory for this to be successful.
No matter how hard I try I cannot seem to get all the bobbleheads by 3. The discovery points and accidentally exp from kills pushes me to 4. Knowing that I wait until 4 to get the Repair bobblehead since that takes a 50 lockpick skill. I loot everything and fast travel to Megaton to sell or sell to caravaners as I encounter them. This gives a fair amount of caps quickly and is important as you'll need 500 to get the Speech bobblehead from Paradise Falls. I used to kill them all but now I like to bribe my way in so that I have all the options open to me. Saving the kids and the poor SOB in solitary or becoming a slaver.
You find enough stealthboys to make getting the Endurance bobblehead in the Deathclaw Sanctuary and the Stealth bobblehead in the Yauguai Tunnels pretty easy ( but still quite nerve wracking! ) The trick is to tell Dogmeat to stay just inside the entrance of both places so he wont blow your cover and get himself killed. And he WILL die ( along with you ) if they spot you or him.
After I have all the bobbleheads I do Those! for the Antsight quest perk and do the quest in Oasis ( stop by the tabernacle and kill the sniper for his excellent gun and the location to Oasis ) for the Barkskin quest perk and Sapling Yews Charm for the permanent +10 to Speech if you make a successful speech challenge with her BEFORE you kill Harold. Talk to her again after Harold is dead for the charm. I then head to Big Town to help them with their problem, healing Timebomb so that he rewards me with the Lucky 8 Ball (+1 to luck, giving us a 10 as long as it is in your inventory) after the town is safe.
If you let Dogmeat tank for all of that you will be level 7 and ready to rock. If you have all the DLC I would go and do Anchorage for the Power Armor quest perk and Co Op perk. From then on just play how ya like. That will take you to 10-12 depending on how much you let your subordinates tank for you ;). If you don't have the DLC I would go get the Ghoul Mask in one of the two ways possible depending on your Karma goals.
