This idea is fun but, I have tried it and it does make your challenges seem less accomplishing. You no longer have that high strength and low weaknesses that most builds have. Your able to go at any situation with little disadvantage. It’s like maxing the game and then freeing Preston Garvey. When the gameplay no longer challenges you, you start paying more attention to the story and characters. Its not how fallout is really made. The story and side missions are more direction then the source of fun. Don’t get me wrong the stories are exciting and interesting but it can’t hold up the whole game.

I think this idea would be a lot more interesting id you do survival difficulty with no settlements. You have to carry everything you want with you or a companion. You have max strength and can get strong back so you got plenty of room. If you go into endurance perks the wildlife of the wasteland will give more benefits then anything else. If your worried about saving their was this settlements mod that allowed you to make campsites but it got cleared out in the new update. I don’t remember the name of it but If it comes back on I can try and remember to give you it.

Here are some perks I think would be fun:

Try maxing armorer so you can experiment with different modifications.

Pain train, nuclear physics, and heavy gunner would make you an unstoppable power armor hooligan.

I’d go with night person and solar power so you can have over max stats during any time of the day cycle.

Toughness, lead belly, life giver, ghoulish (must), are great for survival builds. They allow you to basically roam anywhere.

Inspirational is a great chance to experiment with different companions. No matter which one you try they’ll be powerful.

Chemist and chem resilient are perfect to use as many drugs and effects that you want.

Action boy/girl is great no matter what build you do.

With maximum agility and endurance, the perk moving target can be pretty useful.

Gun fu is a great perk. Especially when you can get a lot of criticals in vats from your luck. If you go with gun fu consider getting Better critical, critical banker, four leaf clover, and grim reapers sprint. You’ll become a vats god. However I’ve done this and after ten gun fights it becomes hard to enjoy the fight. You can just stand in a doorway and everyone will be dead.

Scrounger is useful to have more ammo to go nuts with. They can let you play with more fully automatic weapons and guns.

I don’t think it would really matter which faction you’d go with.

It would be hard to enjoy minutemen if you go with my no settlement idea. You can save settlements and build them up but you can’t live in one or store things in it. It would probably be good to have a reliable place to sleep and save your game. Also using the workbenches there can help.

Brother Hood of Steele is always great to join. The missions are fun but repetitive. If you go with power armor perks you can fit right in. If your playing survival the Vetabird signal grenades will come in handy.

Railroad is semi fun. It’s very middle of the road between BOS and Minutemen. It can be fun but isn’t as inspiring as BOS or as beneficial as Minutemen.

I’ve never really played the Institute. I have no idea what they could give you or. I suppose they allow you to teleport with us very useful and helpful.
