Fallout 1/YMMV


 * Alas, Poor Villain:
 * Demonic Spiders: The Deathclaws.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Dogmeat was so well-received that he had a cameo in Fallout 2 and an Identical Grandson in Fallout 3.
 * Game Breaker: The Gifted trait makes character creation a no-brainer.
 * Gifted is debatable. It makes creating a character and meeting perk requirements easier, but adding one to each attribute doesn't exactly make a huge effectiveness difference.
 * There is an infinite supply of skill books for any skill you really ever need. Skill books don't let you max the skill out completely, but it gets it high enough that it doesn't matter.
 * Straw Man Has a Point:
 * Tear Jerker: For every animal lover, the first time Dogmeat dies. And the second time. And the fiftieth time...
 * Convincing to kill himself.
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Master.
 * Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: The Master
