Fuck Fallout:New Vegas

[emsley]

restarting from scratch... going to put a bit more thought into my character this time.

 

Ouch - if i started again i would put my stats in to melee and fists.

I gave my guy huge sideburns.

[emsley]

if you are all interested you can get a bad ass power glove in the lake, its these floating platforms like water world its on the far left one. I smashed everyone's face in with that.

I don't put anything into Melee, bare hands, explosives, or laser weapons.

Runs fine for me, aside from the fact that heading to the 3rd well at the start...the game just straight up froze solid on me. Ctrl+Alt+Del worked fine to get out, thankfully.

I had trouble with the first missions - the bitch just dissapeared and ended up some place else, also note that a lot of people cant find the two herbs/flowers as the map pointer goes on forever.

I havnt had one in game crash - - - - -

Well you were saying "putting thought" into your character. I recommend energy weapons. There are alot of perks, even one that you unlock after you do x ammt of damage over time. I say, that energy weapons got got the unfair advantage in this game.

 

I hit 30. I hit over 90 hours. I hit hard. Just for kicks, ED-E carries an assortment of weapons that I can just grab at any time. Missile launcher, gatling gun, Gauss Rifle, Flame thrower, grenade machinegun you name it. Veronica runs around with a ballistic fist and I just blast everything in sight.

I was using Boone as a packmule in my last game. just got to Primm in my new game.

I may go with energy weapons this time. maybe tag it when I get that perk. I just hate to put points in anything but Guns, speech, medicine, survival, lockpick and sneak.

PUT IT IN BASH!!!!

[L.S.D]

Hardcore mode is err.....hardcore. Especially tough when you meet those Night Stalkers and Deathclaw which can cause limb damage :/

Well this game definitely makes it to where you cant have everything. I hate the notion of not putting points into guns, but next playthrough I will either focus on Energy or melee.

 

Energy has shit like Corona, add damage and crit bonus, stuff like that. Ammo is scarce, but if your good at caravan and can keep the vendor stocked with supplies (No-Vac Dinosaur dude) he should be able to replenish his funds, which means he will have enough to bet high. He still has the same old crap I sold him a week ago though... not sure how that works. Or you can collect ant nectar and other stuff that sells high, rest 3 days, then repeat. But with the funds you can keep supplied.

 

Next playthrough I will get my repair to 90 so I can get that one perk where you can repair anything with something similar. The weapons I like to use are not very common... at all. Anti material rifle, some unique plasma rifle I got, shoots 3 shots... fucking destroys, Assault shotgun or whatever its called. That'll work great. Ill have survival on my hardcore playthrough for sure.

 

I beat it and am wrapping up loose ends (achievements) Found the "pew pew" laser gun. Thing is pretty strong for something you can just go and get very easily. Ill definitely grab it right off the bat on my next play. Also, where you get it there are a bunch of boxes with an average of 150 caps in each. That'll be a huge help at the beginning of the game.

 

I said earlier I randomly choose passwords during hacking then back out if im wrong, but Ive gotten pretty good at it and its quicker just figuring it out on the spot. Best tip, look at the suffixes. ing and stuff like that. If a word with ING as the suffix has less than 3 correct, obviously the word wont end with that suffix. If its 3 or more correct is safe to assume your on the right track. Look at the letters of corresponding words and go from there. Usually you should get the password by the 3rd try.

Where is pew pew?

[Krosigrim]

Sunset Sarsaparilla factory. S/W of New Vegas. Go through the front door, through the double doors and take a right. Another right then immediate left, you come to a room with the ceiling caved in, in the center of the room. Climb this rubble and travel south I believe to a room with a small hole in the floor. Easily identifiable by a safe right next to the hole. Anyway, drop down, go through the door and there is a dead dude holding the gun.

 

Grabbing the holodisk is what finishes a quest so in grabbing it, you may brake the quest. Just sayin'

Wait what!? You guys still don't know the terminal helpers they purposely put in the game, that were present in Fallout 3?

 

Anything between two brackets [ ] or parenthesis { } or whatever these are called removes a dud, or will reset your # of tries.

 

On easier terminals, this can sometimes remove all but the answer or 2.
