#1 - Survival. Maybe two skill-checks the entire game, and plus you can cook yourself a bunch of food. I guess this is more useful in hardcore mode?
#2 - Sneak. Need to sneak? Use a Stealthboy! 100% stealth, no repercussions or withdrawal symptoms.
Psh no symptoms because you ALREADY WERE spooning a dead brahmin in a radioactive ditch. That predator shit isn't for me. I sneak everywhere. I sneak up on toilets. Then, I sneak-drink. Critically.
Also, Explosives as a far #4. Only two important skillchecks in the game, and the weapons that it covers really are too rare and/or crappy to care about. This isn't the Capital Wasteland where every fifth asshole I met had a rocket launcher two shots away from being a worthless piece of junk. Maybe they should have stuck with separating Big Guns/Small Guns? (See also: Moving Flamers/Incinerators into the Energy Weapon category)
I think the fire weapons should have been in the explosives category. A batch of bathtub napalm is the kind of thing a mad bomber makes in his spare time.
