Ok, that finalizes it then for me.

First run will be a good runthrough focusing on guns + persuasion with the follow stats:

Strength: -2 (low) Will get carrying capacity from perks, and take 1 fault asap to get pack rat right away.
Dex High (+2) Used for gun skills, stealth skills, lockpicking and attack speed...maxed.
Int normal (0) Want all dialog options but can get skill points elsewhere and don't care about crits.
Perception +2 (High) Combo with dex for maxed gun usage bonus for damage in slow time as well.
Cha +2 (High) Bonus persuasoin for dialog options, Maxed companions
Temperance +2 (High) Maxed health regen, bonus to most of the same skills as strength (so compensates for low stats....although I won't really be using them much)

Total points spent 6 (8 spents -2 from strength)

Initial skill focus will be into guns and persuasion I think, bit worried about not getting hacking or lockpicking up right away, but I heard your companions can help with those skills.

Hope I don't miss out on dialog options from having a base int.....butI don't really see a big advantage from boosting it. Temperance gives a huge amount of hp regen per point over base (normal is 2 hp regen/sec good is 12 (+10) and I imagine high is 22 (+20). If that is the case you regen health 10x faster with 2 points in temperance compared to normal. Probably overkill though since I'm playing on normal the first time.

I might go with good perception/temperance so I can get High intelligence as well...I'll know for sure when I can create my character if it says a high int gives additional dialog options etc.

I know good temp gives +12 hp/sec.......which is probably enough on normal, and I don't think high temp really gives many if any dialog options.

Meanwhile perception is nice, but I already have a high dexterity, and a good perception wouldn't be that bad in combo.

Wish there was a way to know a bit more how the stats affect dialog options etc throughout the game.
