I, too, started a new char, Very Hard/no Hardcore. 4/4/3/7/6/10. guns are at 14, energy w. at 10 and are gonna stay that way until I can't take two steps without dying. gonna try and do most quests without killing anyone, gonna avoid most creatures (I'll have to take the Animal Friend perk at some point I guess).
I don't think it's a good enough build for it's purposes, maybe perception and agility should be switched, we'll see. also, not opening any locked containers and not hacking any terminals is very tempting, but I guess it'll be easier to find a mod that disables the xp reward for these actions.
I have a question, with Luck of 10 will the other +criticals items work? or it's capped at 10?
on a sidenote, I really liked Doc's comment on my LCK score
