"How lucky can one guy be?"
Alright, I got curious one night, and decided to actually answer the iconic question that gets stuck in your head all day after you play New Vegas.
I'm using New Vegas as a base here, just because that's where the song actually plays. Assuming the courier starts out with 10 luck, there are a handful of ways to increase your luck temporarily:
Clothing:
-
Naughty Nightwear: +1
-
Lucky Shades: +1
Perks:
-
Meat of Champions: +1 Luck for 60 seconds after eating a corpse
-
(Loansome Road) Just Lucky I'm Alive: +4 after finishing a fight with less than 25% health
Traits:
-
Claustrophobia: +1 while outdoors, but -1 indoors
-
Early Bird: +2 between 6am and 12pm, but -1 between 6pm and 6am
So, how lucky can one guy be? Well, if you start with ten luck, wear lingerie and sunglasses, then get shot in the face while eating a corpse on your front lawn first thing in the morning, you should end up with a grand total of 20 Luck. Ain't that a hole in a boat?
