well with it depends on you i guess.. sex appeal WILL help you in a city (hint: vice city

).. but not throughout the rest of the game if thats what your after.
i was never an unarmed peson nor melee.. i just saved up my points for the long run. if your going for melee or unarmed then your going to need str for sure and agility to get you out of tight spots and ac class. and dont worry about weapons since your going to get those as well for unarmed or melee.. as for small guns i was never a fan of that as well. im more of a sniper rifle

. but each his own. there are so many tactics in this game.
oh yeah.. first aid ok.. but dont worry about the other skills. your future henchpeople will have thier own speicalty and you can use thier skills like repair or science.
last but not the last.. bloody mess? well if you do want to see the worse way to die.. youll definitly see that.
good luck and enjoy i know i did.. also if your stuck do see the walkthrough.. i got stuck in certain parts.. oh yeah on last thing.. once your done once..go over a second time around with the walkthough im nealy 100% sure that you will miss a good quest here and there.
