Is speech craft a good major skill?

At higher masteries, characters' disposition will decrease more slowly as you try to persuade them, and the persuasion minigame will get a little easier. Given how rarely you'll need the persuasion minigame, Speechcraft is a weak choice for Major Skills, unless you're picking it solely because it levels up so quickly.

What is the best weapon for killing deathclaws New Vegas?

How many hours to 100% FNV?

To 100% Fallout: New Vegas, including all DLC and exploring thoroughly for achievements, expect 100 to 150+ hours, though getting all endings across multiple playthroughs can push it to 200-250+ hours due to branching quests, while a focused playthrough of main story plus side quests is around 70-100 hours. A simple main story run is much faster (around 30 hours), but a true completionist effort requires multiple saves to experience different faction outcomes.

Is charisma useless in FNV?

Charisma is widely considered the least essential SPECIAL stat in Fallout: New Vegas, often called a "dump stat," because its main benefits (Companion Nerve for companion strength, skill boosts for Speech/Barter) can be overcome with Speech skill investment, items, or by focusing on other SPECIALs like Luck or Intelligence; however, it offers some utility for companion-focused builds or niche dialogue, making it only truly "useless" if you never use companions or dialogue options.
