kmonster: You can use weapons which require more strength than you have, you just have to accept that you get a -20 penalty to hit per missing strength point (can be evened out with more skill).
The best way to increase damage is aiming at body parts, the chance for a critical if you hit is increased by the same amount as the penalty to hit (which can be evened out with more skill).
Criticals on vulnerable body parts do also more damage and are more likely to bypass the damage reduction by armor.
57 lockpick skill is enough to handle the important locks if you have (electronic) lockpicks and don't mind reloading, speech is useful for dialogue but the other non-combat skills can be ignored or learned from books.
Try to get your weapon skill so high that you have 95% hit chance even when aiming at the eyes.
Avoid armor piercing ammo, it's useless.

So missing STR will just make it harder for me to hit? It will not affect the actual damage?
Also is there a way to raise Crit hit chance? Books or anything? (I did not get the part of the bonus crit equal to same amount of penalty? :S)
I am currenly with 3 STR and 71% Unarmed skill and 90% Melee skill. Will it be wise to switch from a knife to a knuckle and keep pumping only Unarmed from now on?
Does the HtH perk affect Melee weapons? Or only Unarmed?
Thanks in advance for responses
P.S.
Also can someone PLEASE tell me how to make Ian equip the stuff i give him? -.-
as for crit chance
Luck gives 1%/luck point as crit chance,
Finessse trait gives +10%
more criticals perk =5% per rank
sniper perk = 10 times luck % with a cap of 95% (guns only)
slayer perk is same as sniper for melee
i hope this helps ya
