Energy Weapons + Power Armor.

Why Sneak when you can be unstoppable?

Guns are diverse but ammo is a pain

Melee weapons are fun.. until Deathclaws

Specializing in Explosives is generally impractical, they are the "bailout" weapons

Brotherhood of Steel kick ass

Don't be afraid to be "evil"

I recommend Hardcore personally (if you didn't already start out so). It's not quite as hardcore as I would have liked, but it's fun thinking that you need to keep some food and water on hand.

I'm fairly "standard" in my build for first playthrough. I pick guns, repair, and survivalist for my first playthrough and enjoyed it a lot. Also had some speech and science. With repair, you can make superior ammunition for your guns, which I loved in its own right. Spent hours and hours buying and crafting better ammo.

I recommend the DLC if you are able to afford it.

That's crazy, with the right perks, everything else is too easy to kill with melee weapons.  Sure, fighting deathclaws with a knife is really hard, and you'll probably die a few times before you get it right, but that's what makes it fun!

Deathclaws.

I always started with Speech, Guns, and Sneak. 4 Str, 6 Per, 4 End, 7 Chr, 7 Int, 6 Agl, 6 Luck. Hardcore mode and Very Hard difficulty. Nothing more enjoyable than roleplaying an espionage-esque character that uses near-exclusively silenced weapons, wears mostly pre-war clothing (or faction suits when infiltrating/sabotaging) and mains House until he discovers he can get a better deal with [insert faction of choice]. Good times, good times.

Deathclaws.

Well, to kill Deathclaws with my power-armored dude, I would headshot them with a gauss cannon loaded with max charges at line-of-sight distance from sneak. (This is actually overkill). See first, shoot first, kill before they can do anything. 

It was challenging but dem Deathclaws dropped like rag dolls.

And do NOT go hardcore your first time around.

Also, BB guns are hilarious.

That sounds really boring though, it's more fun to sneak up on them with an assassain suit (because stealth suits are too noisy and use up all your med-x) and chop them in to pieces with a giant sword.

It was effective though. I shot one in the arm and it died in one hit. I was so happy to not have to actually fight those damn things.

Why would you be happy you don't have to fight death claws? Fighting deathclaws is fun!

Because they either 1-shot you or they leave you with low health and half your limbs crippled. 

And limbs are a pain in the ass on Hardcore.

No they're not, just farm Fiends until you have a whole bunch of Hydra saved up.

Head shot by Anti-Material Sniper Rifle ... best damage ever.

I killed him with my katana, it was super fun.

Jesus. ****ing. Christ. Cazadores are the worst enemies in the game. They're impossible to hit without VATS. Though second place goes to Tunnelers.

Also was I the only one who though sympathy mean the, slightly, OP bloatfly in Old World Blues?

Nah, you can hit them freehand but have to have a bit of patience.  I sneak in from a distance, set Ratslayer's aim to a spot where they frequently circuit.  Their flight patterns are predictable when they're not fighting.  Then you more anticipate than aim.  Of course you don't always have the luxury of sniping from a distance.  I keep lots of antivenom on hand.

As far as builds, my "canon" character and most fun is a Great Khan castout who's a melee character mostly, is a drug and poison cook.

Almost. The YCS/186 does more damage. The YCS also uses more standard rounds and handles more easily, making it a REALLY unfair gun. Not quite as unfair as the insane MF Hyperbreeder Alpha, but close.

Explosive rounds are fun though. Not sure if they beat the YCS with overcharged rounds though, but at this point it doesn't even matter anymore. Things just die.

So I take it no dart gun this time?

Congratulations on upgrading to the good 3D Fallout game, you will love it.

I don't remember a dart gun, but there's a fully automatic nail gun. It's quite fun to use

I'm playing with low level items right now because, well, I'm low level. Excited to get my hands on higher level items. I'll have to look into the ammo crafting more.

First Deathclaw encounter was a blind deathclaw. No matter. I ran and met my demise. Curse you, level 3!!! I will have my revenge!!

[termokanden]

If you want to get past those early deathclaws, there's a stealthboy somewhere in Goodsprings you can use. It is also possible to sneak past them without a stealthboy at level 1 if you know how.

But it might be better to just go another way entirely

I think if you factor in the crit damage bonus, the AMR will end up doing more damage (although you can only guarantee the crit with a sneak attack)

Pro-Tip:

Stealing is FAR more profitable this time around, as many organizations have lots of quality guns locked away. Of particular note, you'll soon arrive at this little town called Novac, and I highly suggest you break into the storage closet of the store after dark. Nothing like a Minigun, but still a nice little bonus.

My favorite new vegas build is an old fashion gun slinger. It's about my only build, really. It just feels too weird using melee weapons or fists to fight my way through the game, guns feel much more natural to me. I sometimes use energy weapons, but I find them sort of tacky so I usually stick to real guns.

Also, using guns allows me to use some of the guns I have in real life, which is kind of neat. Hunting shotgun FTW!

If you can, get the Old World Blue DLC... I normally don't go recommending DLCs but that DLC was easily one of the Fallout's finest moments.
