STEP #4: SELECT YOUR AGE

Not all people are the same. Their age will tell a lot about them.

Your character’s age will help you better define your character.

Personnel are ready to leave the vault at age 16, and will have lost

that sparkle in their step by the age of 35. You can choose an inclu-

sive age between 16 and 35.

Click on the AGE button to change from a bright youth, to an

experienced elder. The left arrow will increase your age, while the

right arrow will make you younger. Age will have no direct influence

on your character during the character creation stage.

Age will have some small bearing on the game. It is mostly a

player choice. There is no direct penalty or benefit for playing a

younger or older character.

STEP #5: SELECT YOUR SEX

Your character, like most people before him or her, can be male

or female. This will have some small bearing on the game, so choose

carefully. It will not have a large bearing on the adventure, so don’t

think too much about it. Some non-player characters will react dif-

ferently to you if you are a man or a woman.

Click on the MALE/FEMALE button to bring up a small win-

dow. Click on the symbol of the man if you want to be male, click on

the woman if you want to be female.

Enjoy your decision, as you cannot change it once you start the

game.

STEP #6: NAME YOUR CHARACTER

Click on the NAME button and type your character’s name.

Press ENTER when you are done, or click on the DONE button. If

you want to change your name, this is the time to do it. If you don’t,

people will call you: “None,” the character with no name.

Your name should say something about your character. Bob is

pretty boring (Vault-Tec apologizes to all vault-dwellers with the

name of Bob for the use of that name in this example). Spike is bet-

ter, especially if you like to use a lot of sharp melee weapons. Dr.

Atomic is perfect for the budding young scientist type characters.

Once you complete the first six steps, you will have successfully

finished making your character. Unless you need to use one of the

character editor options in step #7, you may skip to step #8 (see

below) and start the game.
