I started a new game last night.

It's all going alot better than before, even in the early stages.

Having played so much BG and M&M, my usual combat tactics are to go
storming in, all guns blazing. But this didn't quite work for me in FO2.

Thanks to your tips, I've pumped up my Agility, and got 10AP's. So Ii've started

hit and run tactics which work a treat. OK so it takes a bit longer, but I got
out of the temple at the beginning with hardly a scratch. I can't wait till I
get some decent small guns. Q - Can you wield duel guns?

I'm also using the targeted hits alot more now, if I've got enough AP's to
target hit and then run a safe distance.

I wish I read this last night before I started a new game.

Anyway IIRC I chose:-

S-5, P-8, E-8, C-8, AG-9, I-5, L-3 ( Something like that. )
Gifted & Small frame

Melee, Small guns & Stealing.

Thanks again
