10 Video Game Character Builds You Must NEVER Choose

10. Fallout - Low Intelligence

The attributes in the original isometric Fallout games impacted the gameplay quite significantly. Depending on your strength, charisma, endurance, and so on, the situations you were faced with could have had a completely different outcome. High intelligence and charisma would provide you with more dialogue options, while strength and endurance would keep you alive in situations others could not survive.

However, it's not just the high stats that impact the game. If your character is especially terrible at something, the game will take this into consideration as well. There are many ways in which low stats can make your game harder, but the worst impact in terms of gameplay has to go to low intelligence.

If your character's intelligence is below 4, they will turn into a mumbling fool that won't be able to articulate a single coherent word in any conversation they have. As you can imagine, in a game as heavily dependent on dialogue as Fallout 1 or 2, this is a pretty big deal. Half of the game's content is locked behind a series of "uhhs" and "oohs," which can be hilarious at times, but most of the time, it simply deprives you of experiencing the storyline fully.
