For me, no matter which fallout game i play, i always go with sneaky style.

For 3/NV, I'm typically a scavenger and a power armored gung-ho player.

For 4, I switch it around often. My favourite way to play is split between being a gung-ho player or a stealth player, as I believe they vastly improved on stealth in FO4 (still no Dishonored-like gameplay, but it's getting better), and the gunplay in Fallout 4 also vastly improved.

For Fallout 3 I've really like to play as a scavenger around the wastes, while in NV I'm more of a heroic ranger. Then for Fallout 4 I like to play as a community leader building up settlements and trying to make the wasteland right in a way.

Whatever new ways I can come up with to play. Fallout is such an OLD GAME lol. I need variety
Eventually it has been sooooo very long since I played a particular way, it becomes somewhat new.

Thank god that there are modders creating content for the game, some of them are still creating content for the game. They make the difference with such an aged game.

Waiting for Frontier to come out so that I have something massive and new to play... I'll have to call in sick when that happens... *cough* *cough* lol

Mods, first and foremost. Never play Fallout or Skyrim without mods.

As for how I play in Fallout, particularly 4, I play somewhere between a selfless hero who doesn't accept rewards and tries to resolve matters peacefully and a murderous, mentally-unhinged slaughter machine who takes sadistic pleasure from killing things that threaten myself, my friends, and innocent people. I'm somewhat like a Predator in that if I see you holding a gun and I ascertain you to be a threat, you're as good as dead, but I don't kill unarmed people or civilians, though I'm far from above trying to bribe them into paying me up front as well as stealing from them if there's something they have that I want.

For the first playthroughs, I'm usually the good guy, who wants to make everything better for everyone, but It gets kinda boring after much time, so I experiment with my other characters, try out situations and quests, that I didn't do.

By making as many "evil" acts as possible....

Im basically a raider warlord... Whoops

Wandering merc/bounty hunter.

It makes the game a lot more fun to play as a neutral wanderer, just trying to survive. It feels like you're a part of the world, rather than a godly saint from the Vault, or the worlds luckiest courier.

For every playthrough, I play as the hero that, essentially, the Mojave deserves. Doing all of the good things in the game to be a good person, even helping a stupid child get their teddy bear back, twice!

I personally play as a grizzled war vet. The back story to the Fo4 character really helped alot with that in game. Being in the military I just always find myself playing that way.

I play the way my favorite character hick would play aggressive and just switching weapons constantly like a badass while also taking bullets from everyone and not reacting at all.

Same for me about FO3, because I've installed mods and modified the game so that the scales of health and damage are increased, to reflect more reality, where a single bullet can kill a human in the head. So wasteland areas are more lethal everywhere and sneaking and snipering are not options anymore, but a way to survive. Fortunately, mods I've installed bring also some protections like armors and also mighty weapons, many of them are accessible only at certain places or moment of the game like a quest for heaven 1,2 3 and allow to almost kill every enemy. But it's difficult to obtain them, no pain no gain

I enjoy playing as a smooth talking charmer who carries a revolver as backup

I'm the monster who make every people equal, under him. Fallout have a dark atmopshere and my character right fit it. I use sneak attack, guerilla strategy, landing mines and throwing grenades. Everything in Fallout has a cost even life. I just regret I can't find a mod to crucify npcs.
