While you know your way around a level-action shotgun with terrifying power, you much prefer to disarm situations with speech, and without bloodshed. Combat should be avoided as much as possible, however, instead use speech to calm people down, and negotiate truces. Use your high medicine skill to keep your health topped up with stimpacks and chems, and try to be as self sufficient as possible. Recycle ammo, and repair your weapon yourself instead of paying for a vendor (this will become much easier with the Jury Rigging perk).Try to maintain very good karma at all times, and help people as much as you can, unless they want you to do something actively bad, like unjust murder or stealing. The only exception to this rule is Caesar's Legion, who deserve the harshest of punishments for their crimes against humanity. Aim to gain access to the Ranger Safehouse as soon as possible, and use it as a base of operations to store your gear.Although your perception if very low, you wont be using lockpick, explosives or energy weapons much, and the lack of enemy awareness can be easily offset by recruiting ED-E as a companion.Also, keep Boone with you as much as you can, Your weapons of choice all fall under those affected by the cowboy perk. My personal favorite combination of weapons is the Medicine Stick as my main source of damage, the Ranger Sequoia as my sidearm, and Blood-Nap for stealth, or if enemies get too close. Use the NCR Veteran Combat Armor, which you can take from the Ranger Safehouse, however if you have the Lonesome Road DLC, pick up the Elite Riot Gear, as the bonuses to guns and perception will be exceptionally useful.As the Ranger, you were brought up in the strip, where you learned how to smooth talk your way into, and out of most situations. This lifestyle was a two sided coin however, as your time spent in the city of vice made you realist how evil some people can really be. Because of this, you seek to be a force of good in the world, and spent a lot of time with the Followers of the Apocalypse, learning of medicine, and more importantly, your strict moral compass, which guides you through the wasteland. You also spend a lot of time around the many NCR troopers in the strip, who tell you stories of the wastes, and the NCR Rangers. Inspired by the NCR's good intentions, and the heroism of the Rangers, you enlist in the NCR as soon as you can, and train to become a Ranger, before taking the courier job.As for the main story, you should side with the NCR (obviously), and aim to help them out as much as possible. Although you remain loyal to their orders, don't be afraid to bend the rules slightly to save some lives, (for example forming a truce between the NCR and the Brotherhood of Steel). Play through the DLCs if you have them, especially Lonesome Road, for the great loot, chance to reason with Ulysses, and more final ending to the game
