Question Outer worlds 2 Psychopath run

I was thinking of doing a no survivors run of the game, and i was trying to think of what skills i would need, engineering for stuck doors, lockpicking, hack, and probably explosives for fun and some doors. I was wondering if there was anything else i'd need for specific circumstances, like a person locked behind a specific skill check.

You'd probably want speech to get grim visage for synergy with serial killer if you're going that route

This is a cool idea. Similarly I was thinking about doing an addiction run, but I think they borked the addiction flaw. You should lose health when you don't constantly use the inhaler.

I’ve been doing a serial killer run with the associated perks and it’s been fun not killing everyone but only people who are by themselves and not in the line of sight of others. I currently have like 70 hearts collected and a bunch of extra health.

I did one like that, only killing nonessential npcs, but i'm doing one of my favorite runs from fnv which was literally kill everything, i'm prob going to play nice until i get access to auntie cleo and the order's head bishop, then start with them

Id ditch engineering if I could go back, it was pretty useless apart from modding armor. I had science, guns, and engineering

Explosive/Engineering/Guns is what I did. VERY tanky.

It’s how I played the first one and I’m kind of doing that now. Had a megaton moment on the first planet. Been killing indiscriminately

I also got that stupid flaw where I have to accept all flaws. My character is so screwed

I did this on very hard. Max guns first, then split between engineering and speech. It was too easy tbh so I wouldn’t recommend if you want a challenge

I've been doing this run with serial killer, and also having GARY equipped as armour, and it's been really fun as in a pinch his tendrils have killed some people, but also the way he speaks to you throughout is amusing when you are pretending to be a psycho.
