The true goated strategy is to have 1 luck, endurance, and intelligence so that way you get no crits or gambling ability, no bonus skill points or helpful intelligence perks, and no health or chance at improving your special stats. Then you dump 10 into strength, perception, and charisma, the easiest stats to temporarily boost and that contribute the least to derived statistics. Finally, you put 7 into Agility because you really have no choice. You then pick the worst possible perks at every level up and go straight to quarry junction at the start so that way you can enjoy the game as Josh Sawyer intended.
Yes, that’s why you always get yourself an 8 in luck (you can get it up to 10 later).
Hah!
I tend to drop my luck down to 1 or 2 or 3, basically to make the game harder.
But, on the other hand, a high luck based playthrough can also be very fun / funny.

… Yeah.
Yeah.
I’m gonna have to do that now, hahaha!
I’ve managed to make it through quarry junction first, on hardcore, a few times, but not with that agressively hostile of a build/ruleset, shit.
EDIT
Do we uh, do we do this maybe with Aqua Fria?
