I never really cared about it in the past. Most of the time I would put luck at 1 so I’d have more points for the others. I decided to do a max luck run on new Vegas after I had just beat it with 1 luck. Dude.

Bankrupting the casinos was cake, I was like level 8 and had 38,000 caps. That’s more than double what I had at level 19 on my previous play through and I was a pack rat for selling shit, I didn’t even have to have a big carry weight with 10 luck. It didn’t matter. I don’t really know how else to say it, but it makes the game more fresh. I played the game mostly identical to how I would play otherwise, but I had the most fun with that one.

Now I’m level 47 replaying Fallout 4, with 1 Strength, 4 Perception, 3 Endurance, 6 Charisma, 4 Intelligence, 5 Agility and 10 luck. My goal is to reach level 68, the level of my other character, to see which one is better overall and which one is more overpowered, as with which one was harder to build. So far, I’m thinking it’s probably going to go to the luck build for all 3. I have 4.5 days in my level 68, I have 1 day and 7 hours on this level 47, but the level 47 was much more difficult although much faster until around level 25.

I currently have 19/47 skill points in luck, with basically all of my skill points focused around criticals in vats. Scrounger 3, Idiot Savant 3, Better Criticals 3, Critical Banker 3, Grim Reapers Sprint 3, Four Leaf Clover 3, Ricochet 1, Action Boy 3, Gunslinger 5, using mainly Kellogg’s Pistol.

I can practically live in VATS if I want to. In earlier levels I used the deliverer just for a chance at a critical, then switch to the right weapon and finish the job. After level 32 you don’t have to with Four Leaf Clover, you get a critical from like every 3 shots. At level 46 with Grim Reapers Sprint, you are just simply overpowered, it makes very hard like easy as far as damage output goes. I can fire 4 shots and get 4 criticals sometimes, there’s no reason to not use them on every enemy.

It does have its downside though. I don’t have strength and I decided to use the ridiculous amount of fusion cores that I find for money instead of using power armor. I take far more damage than my other playthroughs, so it’s essentially running a glass tank. I couldn’t use Lone Survivor or the game would be painful, so I use Ada to combat the low carry weight I have and ever since finding her I haven’t had any issues with cw I can still go a long time without putting junk away at the settlements.

Still, I’ve killed 7 enemies in a row with criticals. Killed a legendary sentry with 1 shot using the salvaged assaultron head, a legendary deathclaw 1 shot with Kellogg’s pistol and legendary mirelurk queen 1 shot using a missile launcher. As well as killed the institute courser with 1 mini nuke and a few shots from Kellogg’s Pistol. Point being you do quite a bit of damage.

If you loot religiously, it more than rewards you. I haven’t been short on anything the entire game. If I want it, it’s there at some point.

So yeah I recommend the 10 luck build it’s a fun time.
