One of the great things about
Fallout: New Vegas and
Fallout 3 is that you can beat the game without killing a single thing. Well, looks like someone has done it with the former as
he posted a screenshot right before the end game of his stats.
I've actually worked my way through
New Vegas by Science and Speech a lot more than the previous game and I've avoided many battles this way. Sure, I didn't have any hesitation in pulling out a gun to take someone or something down but to be able to restrain yourself doing so like the person above takes a lot of hard work.
I just wish I had enough Speech to avoid the fight with Legate myself. That guy took me down so many times.
