This is a character build designed to conquer even the most difficult battles on Very Hard difficulty in Fallout New Vegas, without depending on gimmick weapons like the Alien Blaster. It revolves around massively increasing critical hit percentages and damage bonuses to make a particular set of weapons obscenely powerful.

I spent a good deal of time on this video, so any suggestions/comments/thumbs up would be appreciated. Unfortunately I had to cut out a bit to keep it in the 15 minute limit, but the important gameplay commentary is there.

Points I wasn't able to bring up in the commentary:
-You need the Cowboy perk to boost the power of the Ranger Sequoia. This also makes the cowboy repeater much more powerful, which is useful until you get the Sniper Rifle.
-I recommend using Psycho/Med-X liberally, the power bonus is very noticeable and I always use it before difficult fights (such as against deathclaws)
-Confirmed Bachelor also gives free access to Arcade Gannon's quest and in pre-patched games may also entitle you to free repairs from Major Knight
-The Gobi Scout Rifle in this build is vastly superior to ANY build using the anti-materiel rifle. This is the best sniper rifle in the game, hands down.
-That being said, the anti-materiel rifle is still a great weapon for companions. You will need to use a skill magazine to get the 100 Repair skill needed to make hand loader AMR rounds.
-The main reason I like Maria is because it's very cheap to repair and buy ammo for. The 12.7 mm pistol is pretty dang powerful too, though you need to do a special sidequest to start buying the ammo for it in bulk.
