Fallout 4 Builds - The Diplomat - Ultimate Moneymaking Build 

Kellogg was just trying to save the diplomat's son from the unending dad jokes.

It's now 9/2022 and I still find myself watching the videos you guys make all these years later and trying out the very creative builds you guys put together. I'm still having tons of fun trying them out and it keeps me coming back to these games. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see what you guys do with Starfield, Elder scrolls and Fallout in the future.

Damn every time i hit around lvl 15 on a character i find a new build i wanna try lol

The diplomat always gets Mr. Handys from the ladies

Wasteland Whisperer seems boring - until you see someone walking around with a pet Deathclaw. Whoa.

i like how you decorate the house and then casually dispose of the dead person in the upper floor xD

Do a Tony Stark build! Charisma-Intelligence combination, focuses on building superpowered Power Armor and the Lady Killer perk. Oh, and Codsworth actually says, "Mr. Stark!"

I know this vid is kinda old, but I started playing this character recently. Instantly turned him into a psychopath who would force people to give up before executing them...

Am I the only one watching this in 2024?

FINALLY a character that isnt an antisocial introvert!

The .44 pistol is amazing with this build. To find it just turn left as soon as you get off the bridge from sanctuary then just follow the coast until you find a small generator. You should see a a large tube coming out of it follow it. Ounce you get to the end you should see a skeleton next to the .44 pistol and some .44 rounds.

TEXT VERSION FOR THE LAZY!!! Just a suggestion, but you can copy and paste this into Microsoft OneNote and make your own checklist using little check boxes. It can sync to your phone so you can have it with you for console play. Here's a link to my current file with all of FudgeMuppet's builds on it. www.dropbox.com/s/mmkfshlm13ktseo/Fallout%204%20Builds.one?dl=0 The Diplomat - SPECIAL: Strength: 1 Perception: 3 Endurance: 3 (+1 from the "You're Special" book) Charisma: 10 Intelligence: 6 Agility: 1 Luck: 4 Perks: 1. --- 2.

I highly suggest going towards getting pipers companion perk because you get increased XP for any charisma options that work and discovering locations. Really useful for this build!

I have asperger syndrome and having a lot of charisma is an impossible dream for me, but thanks to this build, I can make my dream into a reality in fallout 4. I have no words to describe my gratitude, thank you fudgemupet.

I made this build but the backstory is that my character was a revolutionary historian. When he exited the vault, my character split into another personality, where he believed he was George Washington. A silly build, but fun.

Thanks for the guide! I'm doing this for my current playthrough with Nora. Since in canon Nora is a lawyer, I'm using this build to roleplay her as a former business lawyer using her charisma and smarts to raise caps for herself to find Shaun. I made some modifications to some of the early game perks, but it's been a lot of fun so far!

Silver Shroud, Silver Shroud, Silver Shroud, Silver Shroud, Silver Shroud! :D

I love the charisma build, it's great to have those extra lines of dialogue through the game! Building all he stores throughout a settlement gives them a much bigger purpose. Great video guys, love all of the builds

So I'm playing with this, replaced Fortune Finder (since you said it wasn't as good) with Black Widow and am already wielding Old Faithful, Scrounger gives me more than enough ammo to use it. My Lady's personality is still forming but so far its something like this: Stacia came out of the vault with one thing on her mind, to find her son. But upon entering the wasteland she saw that so many others were suffering the same pain she was, having lost someone close. So she chose to use her skill when she could to gather and unite people. While she has a kind heart she also understands the importance of money, if she can get more money out of someone who can afford it she will. She will put this money to good use helping those innocents and downtrodden she finds. In combat she will always try to ask for a surrender, if you do surrender you are safe, she will simply take what she needs and move on. I am not sure yet whether she will sympathise with the synths and join the railroad, but she will be a strong Minutemen General and dislike the Brotherhood view on minorities in the commonwealth (Ghouls and possibly Synths). She aims for a peaceful commonwealth where people work together to overcome challenges, and she knows she might need some money and a handful of ammo to make it happen.

Lone wanderer. featuring dogmeat and dogmeat only.

7 years and I still find myself back here looking up these builds. The memories of building these characters is such a highlight of my past. TY guys!

OH NO! IT'S A MAN WITH A FANCY SUIT, GLASSES AND FEDORA! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! *Runs away while screaming*

Few things why your builds are the best ! 1.Good back story 2.You make a class look badass which suits them this same as weapons 3.You make people creations come to life !

I remember when FudgeMuppet had 20k thousand subscribers and now I'm watching them get a couple of thousand each day. My little babies are growing up :'-)

I like it! This is a nice change from the usual sneak/ninjas, basher, armor heavy, etc. Totally different experience. Good job on making this more effective than I would have thought.

Throwing that body in the water had me dead at 9:35

I couldn't pay attention to like 2 skills because of watching you throw that body in the water. It's never gets old

One thing I dislike about the new charisma perks is the need for a firearm in order to use the pacify abilities. You could make the argument that humans and other thinking creature would be more intimated by a firearm then a machete, but Wasteland Whisperer & Animal Friend shouldn't have to always fallow this line of reasoning.

I'd like to see a Mafia build Name: Vito (inspired from the game Mafia) Backstory: born and Raised by his Italian father and American mother, Vito was baptised into a life of crime, His father was arrested for Bank Robbery, Arson and numerous murders. His father was then sentenced to a life time in prison and tells Vito to continue his legacy in his family name, Upset by this he vows to take his father's place in becoming The Main Man of the Mafia. He fought with school bullies, ex boyfriends who abused his young sister, rival baseball fans and in many underground fights. He was intalect, charismatic and an extremely lucky guy. Unfortunately his luck ran out when he was caught stealing money from a general store by the police. His sentence was either jail or cut the sentence by joining the military. He joined the military and was an expert with shotguns and the SMG. after his service he returns home and meets an old friend at the airport from high school. the two fall in love, marry and have a child, feeling like his luck has finally come back, things take a turn for the worst when the bombs were about to be dropped, him, his wife and his son are rushed to the vault. Factions: Vito will use the minutemen to help build his criminal empire back from the ashes and take on anyone who dares come in his way. gameplay: You will always ask for a larger payment if offered, act all kind hearted around the innocent and always think of children before yourself by helping them since you yourself are a father (the vault 81 quest where you cure Austin from the Mole Rat Disease) Weapons: Tommy Gun (spray and pray), molotov cocktails, Baseball Bat (2076 World Series Baseball Bat), Sawed off Shotgun, Switchblade, and a Revolver appearance: any suit or suspenders and slacks and a Fedora

I made a batman/Bruce Wayne Build. Diplomat build by day and Brawler by night. No weapons. Balistic weave/batman suit mod. Max Charisma (Cuz your batman) Max Strength (Cuz your batman) Middle luck (Cuz your the main character) Early levels on agility Low endurance (Because bane broke your back) Faction: Minute men! Vigilante gameplay during the night. Business man during the day.

Not sure if y'all are fans of The Blacklist, but this build could very well be Reddington with some moral adjustments. Great job on the build.

dont know why but I love that phrase "everything's negotiable"

"The Diplomat is going to try to be diplomatic" *rolls credits*

Its 2023 and I am also still watching these videos. I have played several of your builds and am excited to continue more builds in the future

Diplomat: go beat up that guy Deathclaw matriarch: aight yeah ok

Even more fun if you mix this with the Infiltrator build. Pure glass cannon stealth assassin that can pass all speech checks with ease. Even more fun when you don't use armor and only wear charisma boosting clothing. Doing this right now on Survival and having a blast. You have to go slowly and plan your routes and companions are a must (highly recommend getting Cait for lockpicking and semi-decent stealth, give her a sledgehammer to tank because you NEED it). You can literally only take one or two shots at most. Makes every firefight a true battle of life and death:)

I would love to see a hand to hand build with a power fist and power armor that would be cool :)

This would fit better with Nora instead of Nate, as she's a lawyer, charisma would be her strongsuit lore-wise

Did a diplomatic gangster. She can charm you with her voice but put a bullet in you when need be. This is the most fun I ever had, Thanks once again Fudge Muppet

If you're gonna use a silenced 10mm, why not just go with the Deliverer? Its waaay more powerful

You should make a wolf of Wallstreet build with party boy and chemist

Man, I was waiting for something like this. Lovely!

I love the Mysterious Stranger appearance sounds, especially the piano sounding one. Bim Bom Bam Bum! **bang**

Solid snake or revolver ocelot build

psychopath/pyro build, Always choose the darkest speech options, using big guns such as flamers, and melee weapons, such as the shiskebab. Use moltov cocktails often, and other explosives too. Cage armour is good, as it has a very dark look, but it doesn't really matter that much. Followers would either be cait because of her dark, raider-like nature. SPOILERS BEGIN HERE, DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT FACTION SPOILERS the pyro would likely go with the brotherhood of steel, because of their dark nature, but I'm sure that you can justify other factions. tl;dr - Use mostly flamers and shishkebabs, as well as moltov cocktails. Be a dick to everyone.

I recommend setting up all your supply lines from the mechanist lair and use robots. Allows all your settlements to have maximum happiness as supply lines and robots affect happiness.

Playing this as my “good guy” build and the scientist as my more sinister institute build love these guys builds

You made a great build, but I think that a woman would be more interesting for this build. Female character wasn't supposed to be a lawyer in 2077 ? That sounds like a clever and charismatic character to me. And Agatha's Dress looks better than Reginald's Suit.

Do yourselves a favor and drop to 2 luck, and get 3 strength. Ditch Animal friend and all three ranks of Mysterious stranger for Armorer, Ballistic Weave is a must for this character.

Of all the builds so far this one has been my absolute favorite

I only found this channel yesterday and I wish I had found it sooner, your videos go in to such depth when it comes to builds rather than just giving the starting SPECIALs. Nice work indeed :)

Silver Shroud build, he seems like an awesome person to play as during the questline so if there was a build it would be even better

please do a brotherhood paladin

I’ve been playing for years and because of this dudes video I’m going charisma/diplomat build. Awesome

Ah, the Charming Shekelstein build

I just wish that there was a way to not side with the institute but not side with them

Used this for my Adolf Hitler playthrough, thanks FudgeMuppet

Great video! The only difference is that I've spent 1 extra point in Strenght, after getting the bobblehead from Mass Fusion, and going for Armored, to get Ballistic Weave and using it on Reginald's Clothing (+3 Charisma)

This was the 2nd build i tried (first one was the sniper) so I think it's time for a little "Thank you" :) Personally I don't care so much about the backstorys, but your builds are always very well conceived and you present them in a way that make me want to start all over again. If replaying fallout 4 wouldn't be so boring after a few rounds I would totally try the Grognak build too... well maybe I do someday.

what would you say to those who want to play a Female Diplomat, cause Black Widow is an amazing perk for a female charisma based character, would you alter your build to accomidate it or say this is still the best load out for any Diplomat

I think the Awareness perk would be a good choice early on, that way you can see all of your enemies' levels before engaging them so you know which ones you have a chance at pacifying. Also you'd be able to tell whether you should draw your .44 or your alien blaster, based on their defenses :)

I did a search for "fallout 4 cultist build" to see if there was any interesting concepts for it. This was the top fallout 4 build result. Do with that what you will.

The FudgeMuppet guys are THE Skyrim and Fallout 4 build guys! I notice you guys seem to have a build for Strength (Raider), Perception (Sharpshooter), Charisma (Diplomat), Intelligence (Scientist), and Agility (Assassin). I don't know if you take suggestions, but I have a few; 1) The Nightmare/Monster/Something Scary and Evil - Survival Build (Endurance) 2) The Scavenger/Vault Delver - Looting Build (Luck) 3) The Gunslinger - Criticals Build (Luck/Agility) 4) The Engineer - Explosives Build (Perception/Intelligence) 5) The Commando - FPS Build (Strength/Agility) 6) RP Builds for kicks like Silver Shroud or Grognak or a supernatural build I know some of these, if not all of them, have been requested already and maybe I am getting ahead of myself but you guys make very fair and fun builds and I know I would be really excited to see some of these in the future! If you guys communicate with your subscribers I would love to contribute, keep up the good work! P.S. I'm also looking for support and criticism from everyone else as well for builds and you guys all have great ideas!

Please do a Mercenary build!!!! Like kellogg

I played this build, but as David Bowie with energy/plasma/radiation guns.

I'm in love with the tinkerer build

I started making this character but I replaced the Pistol related perks with Rifle related perks. I love the Sharpshooter build so much that my playstyle with him just leaks into my other characters

Can you make a scoundrel styled Han Solo-ish build?

i did this build but i use spray n pray, and a random legendary explosive combat rifle i got. it is so fun, make sure to take demolitions expert for more dmg

I made it to lvl 50 with this guy, it was fun, now I gotta figure out what character build to do next

The thing you mentioned at the end, with selling Purified Water. That reminds me of something I did when I made the "Door-to-door salesman". Basically, I would build up on a lot of guns, armor, aid, junk, etc. And go to various merchants around the map, with my best Charisma items on, and sell them pretty much everything I had in my inventory (except for Items I named so I could keep track of them and not accidentally sell them)

baseball player build next plzzzzzzz

How about a Silver Shroud Build

the back of scene with Finn was funny. I could have almost believed that you were about to offer HIM insurance

Yay! Finally a more light hearted and less depressing character backstory.

9:22 - 9:38 "Wait, this dosen't belong here."

A gunslinger ( pistol /cowboy like)build next please

Succesfully finished this build. It is an extremely fun build as he says in the video, highly recommend it 9/10

Been playing this build but I added Lorenzo's suit. Looks Stylish as hell with +2 Charisma. Didn't realize since I have not reached ballistic weave point yet (my second run through of the game), but it looks like Lorenzo's suit also can have the Ballistic Weave upgrade. And gave my companion a stylish suit as I can't have riff-raff accompanying me. My companion must be as smooth & suave as me which is why I am making MacCready read The Mystery Method after hitting & splitting brokenhearted Piper.

I made a hybrid if diplomat and sniper

Id love to see how you made your avatar for this character, he looks like Magnum PI

fudgemuppet. I have done the raider build. I cannot say I liked it, I loved it. I've been wanting to do a build like this but haven had the time to build it to the right specks. I cant thank you enough. your a bro.

This is my favorite fallout 4 build, THANK YOU. Oh and in my oppinion intimidation is better than wasteland whisperer.

Plz make a pyromancer ( loads of explosives, a flamethrower and the shiscabab) plzzzzzz

I know your doing general builds atm but once you've done all the general stuff and get to specific builds can you make ( like the assassins build ) a survivalist eg was like a member of the special forces military and is as all rounded as possible ,basically Rambo. Using a knife and a combat rifle and high in endurance things like crafting and food and water

I'm in the middle of working both the Raider Melee build (so much melee loving it!) and The Scientist build. After watching this one I'm pretty confident I found the one build I truly want to work up all the way. Though I'm probably going to work on 2 settlements only, thanks!

Made my own version of one. Named Mr. House. Just swindled honest dan out of 90% of his cut. Love it.

I used this on a female character and called it my “lawyer” build.

Hi, may I use this build in a video of mine? It seems incredibly fun and I would definitely give you credit!

Your interior decoration is phenomenal 0.0... All I can do is horde shit that suits my purpose, while you do just that but make it look good.

lol i love how at 9:20 you casualty drag the dead body to the lake for disposal! 😂😂💀💀

Can you make soldier build?

Merry Almost Christmas!

Diplomat- a person who can deal with people in a sensitive way; an envoy. Very first perk=threaten with gun to faceLove it

It was nice seeing you make a build that wasnt a Luck/Crit-streaming monster. I would love to see you guys make a build with Luck 1 (and never increase it) and no use of crits.

Maybe cowboy build? Pistols and non-automatic rifles?

''awesome persuavive dialog options'' yeah....

That awkward moment you realize your main build that you felt so proud of for years has been seen 1.6 million times by strangers.

I would love to see a hybrid charisma and sniper build, use your sniping skills to pick off enemies, if you get caught you pacify the enemy and they attack other nearby enemies getting them out of cover. You’re a puppet master pulling the strings from behind the scenes
