S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

When we start a new game and create a character, Doc Mitchell tells us to walk to the Vit-o-matic Vigor Tester in order to assign our S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats. In our case, we have to create Deckard, and those who watched the movie or read the novel know that Deckard is a police officer in a futuristic cyberpunk California who hunts down “replicants,” human-like robots. Unfortunately, in New Vegas, unlike in Fallout 4 (synths), there are no human-like robots, but we can create at least fitting stats for him: Strength 6, Perception 8, Endurance 7, Charisma 1, Intelligence 6/7, Agility 5, Luck 4. Also, do not forget that you can enhance your stats later via implants or the “Intense Training” perk.

Traits.

After the Rorschach test, we can choose 2 traits, which will be: Kamikaze and Small Frame. “This build is focused mostly around using laser pistols until you get your repair high enough to be able to use ‘That Gun’ reliably and then crafting the ammo for it.” (by @Timely-Lemon9760, via Reddit).

Perks.

During this playthrough, we are going to use a gun, which means we have to have this set of perks: “Run and Gun”, “Gunslinger”, “Handloader”, “Vigilant Recycler”, “Robotics Expert”, “Jury Rigging” and “Laser Commander.”

Playthrough.

Those who watched the movie know that Deckard is just following orders almost without hesitation - which means that you are going to have a good relationship with NCR in this playthrough.

Weapons & Outfits.

As I stated at the beginning - “that gun” will be our dearest friend, which is why you should put your points into "Guns" perk and read magazines related to it. Although you also can use revolvers; which one is up to you.

For outfit: look for sheriff's duster, pre-war suit (like the one Mysterious stranger has) or NCR Ranger outfit, all of them are good.

Companions.

As usual, it is up to you, but I had E-DE as my first companion and Veronica/Arcade as the second one.
