Fallout 2 Hints
Speech
Speech will affect how NPC's respond to what you say. Note that, for the most part, it does not affect the options of what you have to say -- just how positively characters respond to the options you're already given.
In a few cases, having a strong speech skill might be able to help you talk your way out of a difficult situation. But with even a basic skill and a moderate (5 or so) intelligence, you should be able to get through most situations if you're careful about what you say. I don't think any quests hinge on your lying ability, although they may offer talking as an alternative to other solutions. Unless you want to play the game as a "diplomat", a higher intelligence to improve your dialogue options seemed to me to be much more critical.
