Diplomacy isn't a viable strategy in Fallout 3

I'm starting to think all those points I poured into Speech were a waste.

    Try Fallout 1 and 2. There, playing the game entirely through diplomacy is actually a viable option.

    Yeah, smooth-talking my past everything in Fallout 1 was just amazing. Actually getting to just talk to super mutants was great.

    He who laments and can't let go of the past is forever doomed to solitude.
    Fallout 3 uses speech for very few things, and in some cases, you could use other skills to bypass stuff, like science to shutdown John Henry Eden.

    It's always kind of disappointing when there are ostensibly more ways to problem solve in a game besides violence, but they're almost always impractical.

    I tried a pacifist run in Fallout 3 once before I knew much about the game. That sure as hell didn't last long.

    I think it's possible to do so in new vegas if you already know where to go.

    Kids these days don't want diplomacy, they want headshots.

    You still need to buff up to fight the critters and the always chaotic evil morons.

    But you never had any to begin with.
    ^ I don't think Cazadors do diplomacy. Or deathclaws.

    In 3 you could kill a deathclaw with a wimpy character, using the dart gun, the Courier seems to be less creative than the Lone Wanderer, and as such cannot build that weapon. Or anything like it anyway.
