Top 3 useless skills by Fortinbras 10/31/2010, 3:26pm PDT
#1 - Survival. Maybe two skill-checks the entire game, and plus you can cook yourself a bunch of food. I guess this is more useful in hardcore mode?
#2 - Sneak. Need to sneak? Use a Stealthboy! 100% stealth, no repercussions or withdrawal symptoms.
#3 - Lockpicking. I hate lockpicking. Not to go all Jerry Whorebach but why do I need to unlock a door that is half-blown off its hinges and the drywall is collapsing right next to it? I mean safes, ok (and usually there's a computer right next to it that'll do the job), but for everything else I cheat and use the console to unlock when I encounter a door that the wind could knock over.

Also, Explosives as a far #4. Only two important skillchecks in the game, and the weapons that it covers really are too rare and/or crappy to care about. This isn't the Capital Wasteland where every fifth asshole I met had a rocket launcher two shots away from being a worthless piece of junk. Maybe they should have stuck with separating Big Guns/Small Guns? (See also: Moving Flamers/Incinerators into the Energy Weapon category)
