Fallout 3 Character Building

Yes. Go for direct damage in every possible way you can. EXCEPT with your special stats. Strength and Endurance aren't really all that important, because you'll most likely be using long-range weapons for the majority of the game.

And scratch what I said about small guns, because I forgot they put all the assault rifles into that description in Fallout 3, which doesn't make sense, but whatever. Medicine, Speech and Science are all really good initial skills.

As far as perks go, that's totally up to your play-style. You'll know when they're worthless and when they'll aid you. Just read the descriptions and you'll be fine in that regard.

All I'm trying to get at is that in most cases, your character is going to turn out the same either way, so just go with what you want to and don't worry about it.
