You get to tag 3 skills. Mathematically speaking, it makes best sense to tag skills that have high limits, like gun skills (300). It thus is advised not to tag things like [[Science]] or [[Repair]] since those cannot be raised above 125 anyway, a limit easy to reach even when not tagged. Recommendations:

* [[Small Guns]]: Max 300, '''''Yes''''' it's a good one to tag.
* [[Big Guns]]: Max 300, '''''Yes''''' it's a good one to tag.
* [[Energy Weapons]]: Max 300, '''''Yes''''' it's a good one to tag.
* [[Close Combat]]: Max 300 which is overkill for HtH, but still '''''Yes''''' a good one to tag.
* [[Throwing]]: Max 300, '''''Yes''''' it's a good one to tag if you plan to fight this way.
* [[First Aid]]: Max 200, '''''Yes''''' even though [[Books]] can boost it 60 points.
* [[Doctor]]: Max 200, '''''Yes''''' especially if you plan to craft drugs, which gives a lot of [[XP]].
* [[Sneak]]: Max 300, '''''Yes''''' but only if you plan to really get it to 300, and get [[Silent Running]].
* [[Lockpick]]: Max 150, '''''Yes''''' if you want to get started hunting lockers loot asap.
* [[Steal]]: Max 150, maybe only if you plan to be a [[Thief]] and get all of the thief perks.
* [[Traps]]: Max 150, '''''No'''''. Bump it up without using a tag.
* [[Science]]: Max 125, '''''No''''' this one's max is too low, and [[Books]] can boost it by 60 points.
* [[Repair]]: Max 125, '''''No''''' this one's max is too low, and [[Books]] can boost it by 60 points.
* [[Speech]]: '''''No'''''. Exceptions include:
** Initiating [[Town Control]], but this is otherwise overkill for a [[PvP]] skill.
** You are [[Good Natured]], have at least 2 [[CH]], and you want 4 companion followers (instead of only 3).
* [[Barter]]: '''''No'''''. The financial advantage from better [[Barter]] prices is too weak for this.
* [[Gambling]]: '''''No''''' - this skill is not working yet.
* [[Outdoorsman]]: Max 175, '''''Yes''''' for several reasons:
** To get this to 100 sooner to get [[Ranger]].
** To get this to 150 sooner to get the faster-travel perks: [[Pathfinder]] and [[Explorer]].
** To get this to 150 sooner to get [[Scout]] which is am amazing advantage on the [[The World|world map]].
** To get this to 175 sooner because you heard you get a slightly greater chance to find the [[Ruined Military Bunker]] [[Special Encounter|SE]].
