《辐射：新维加斯》开场Mitchell医生的测验解析

写这玩意儿的原因很简单，我吃饱太闲。

第一阶段是用十四个问题来决定各技能的“分数”，这分数不是实际技能数值，而是用在之后决定预选专长技能是哪些。技能名词用英文原文只是因为方便我打字和记录而已。

十四个问题答完之后，会开始进行第二阶段计算，对战斗技能做分数加权，规则如下：

1. 先看你的special属性，以力量为标准，再以感知、耐力、敏捷依序和标准比较来看何者最高，“依序”的意思是如果你感知比敏捷高，且两者都高于力量，那最后还是会以敏捷为判断基准。以下判定都同这种方式。

力量：melee, unarmed +1
感知：energy weapons, explosives +1
耐力：unarmed +1
敏捷：guns +1
不过这段script的if判定有个很蠢的bug，变成只要你的感知比力量高，就一定把敏捷当成是你最高的属性。

2. 检查你的潜行技能在之前问题答完后是否为前三名，如果是的话，就把潜行设为第三个专长技能，并对适合潜行的战斗技能（guns, melee, unarmed）加权1点。

3. 加权结束，开始决定专长技能，技能分成三大类：战斗、开门（gate-opener）、其他。

第一个专长技能会从战斗类挑一个出来，预设以guns的分数为标准，因为它算是最泛用的战斗技能。接着依序拿energy weapons, explosives, melee, unarmed和标准比较。
第二个专长技能会从开门类挑一个出来，预设以speech的分数为标准，因为它娱乐效果比较高。接着依序拿science, lockpick, barter和标准比较。
第三个专长技能是所谓的「外卡」（wild card），会从所有类别内挑选。如果在第二步判定时你的潜行不是前三名，就把潜行的分数当成标准，然后依下列顺序拿还没被选为专长的技能和标准比较：barter -> energy weapons -> explosives -> lockpick -> medicine -> melee -> repair -> science -> guns -> speech -> survival -> unarmed

虽然说到最后你还是可以自由决定要选哪三个专长技能，但从上面一连串的判定过程可以看出设计者是怎么想的。
