Is speech or science good in Tactics ?
There is no speech, you are a Brotherhood recruit so there isn't much roleplaying in this one aside from your builds. All dialogue is one sided and usually only triggered by important NPCs, the speech skill is replaced by Piloting skill since this game has vehicles(it's useless, all it does is determine how fast your car turns so there is less crashing into things. You don't get to bring vehicles into missions and there is only a couple of missions with vehicles in them, so most of the time your vehicles you keep are just mobile containers for your loot).
Science is only useful towards the end of the game. It is used to unlock electronically sealed doors, such as those inside military bases or vaults, but there is none that you need to open in order to finish the game. Aside from that, it's supposed to increase critical chance against robots, but I've never seen that confirmed. You shouldn't really specialize in the skill, but I guess if you have a party member that is specializing in things like lockpicking or repair, Science isn't the worst option if they have these skills high enough.
Also is there a mod to make the NPC's from New Vegas not be bullet sponges when playing on Hardcore ?
Hardcore mode doesn't change how difficult the enemies are. You must be thinking of Fallout 4's survival mode, in NV all it does is enable thirst/hunger/sleep needs and brings back classic game mechanics such as ammo having weight or needing doctor's bags to heal limbs instead of doing so with a stimpack. If you mean enemies being bullet sponges if you turn up the difficulty, as with all Bethesda games, there really is no solution. All those difficulties do is adjust numbers so that you do less damage but enemies do more, best thing you can do is turn the difficulty to normal(you and enemies both do base amount of damage to another) and then play around with the game balance to suit your needs.
Why have we never gotten fallout novels or Skyrim novels it seems like Bethesda is allergic to the idea of other forms of media I mean Halo has like 50 novels some of which are decent
Have you SEEN Bethesda's fanbase? Emil himself straight out said that they would rather rip out pages of a book and make paper planes with them. While this is what every normal person would do to anything Emil has written, he's right about Bethesda fans being impulsive ADHD riddled retards that can't read for shit and would rather shoot something in the face. That's why instead of tie in books we have a TV show aimed at actual retards who never played the games, the closest thing to a literary work we've gotten was that comic book that came with the LE editon of Fallout New Vegas or the artbook for LE of Fallout 3.

it's still in annoying subhuman Russian communist and is angry that one of the original creators of fallout 2 a new Vegas thinks he's a whiny baby for thinking that fallout has an anti capitalist message and you need to understand media literacy or something something.
God those thumbnails have been ass for him as of late. I think he hired some ukrainian cuckchanner/redditor to do those for him and you can tell.
