You know, considering how I can get the Brotherhood, the Followers of the Apocalypse, the Khans, the Boomers, a bunch of securitrons and the loving Enclave to show up at the dam, I'm really shocked that there's no way to convince the super mutants and possibly some aliens to join the fray.

I'm not really sure why super mutants would help either side really. They are mostly isolationist. They are more likely to help the legion anyway since NCR just wants them to leave.

Is there a mission/feature where you can fund a merchant caravan network? I swear I remember something like this but can't find anything except a similar situation in Skyrim.

There's a mod that adds it, I think. Knowing Bethesda, that's probably where they got the idea.

ISn't there a quest like that from fallout 3? I remember it because the cravans were easily killed in the wasteland and it was annoying.

Oh, yeah; it's in Canterbury Commons. I'll bet 98% of everyone who played never found it because why the gently caress would you ever go there except the first time for the superhero fight?

The Super Mutants aren't really a viable source of help at the moment though. A huge chunk of Jacobstown is mentally ill Nightkin with the rest actings as caregivers. Your options are all the Nightkin fight and you have a bunch of mentally ill people who will change sides if offered stealthboys or have the OG Super Mutants fight and risk having the abandoned Nightkin wander into Vegas.

It's easy to do, and it improves the quantity and quality of what the travelling merchants carry measurably, including caps. Lucky Harlan gets to be almost as good as Flak & Shrapnel's place in Rivet City. I don't think it helps their repair skills, but by that time I'm going to Hayley's Hardware for that need.

Yeah, I made quite some use from the merchant selling mostly junk for repairs. The trouble with those merchants that they're a bit finicky. Sometimes they will just stop moving which certainly makes them easier to find, but is annoying when their stop is Arefu and they spawn next to an Albino Radscorpion.

It's supposed to increase repair for all of them. I just meant that it's not an obvious quest, and I doubt most people stick around long enough to find it; I only found out about it because of the wiki.

Just finished all the DLCs in their intended order. Don't wanna repeat what's already been said, but I enjoyed all of them to varying degrees. My only major complaint is, honestly, I feel like the writing in Lonesome Road is so cataclysmically far up its own rear end it's a little hard to take seriously. But the Divide was a kickass setting and the final showdown (or teamup) with Ulysses was the tits. Too bad his loving coat isn't nearly as fresh as Graham's armor. It probably wouldn't look as stupid if there were clothe physics but oh well.

It's cool that you can just shoot Ulysses in the back of the head and not have a dramatic final speech. Also I liked the idea that he was named after Ulysses S. Grant rather than the more obvious answer.

As long as we're talking about DLC stuff, let's do some analysis that's a bit more... objective?... than pure personal tastes. The strengths of New Vegas are in its writing. Not in the mechanics, not in the area design and (obviously) not in the combat engine. There's only so long (> a minute) that "pretty" is a factor in appreciating a new area. There's only so much you can do with the combat engine, whether to mixed results (focusing on the limbs with Ghost people) or to terrible, batshit stupid results ("I don't like players who keep sneaking around and headshotting enemies from miles away. I know - let's constantly spawn bullet-sponge enemies near the player! I, Chris Avellone, am a bloody genius!") So the DLC's that work better in the game's context are the ones where you have a lot of interaction with interesting NPCs - Dead Money, Old World Blues. Honest Hearts could have been fantastic if your caravan members survived based on your decision, and had an input into the main quest / some quests of their own to run (it still managed to have some of the best writing in the game in the Survivalists notes and their interaction with the main decision, but quality doesn't quite trump quantity). Lonely Road is the worst of the lot because there's only one NPC, the interaction with whom is mostly one sided, and the players choices highly limited when we do get around to it.

The fluff writing for the region (the setup for the encounter with Rawr was pretty intense), Ulysses's logs and ED-E's recordings were all great, I felt. Main plot is pretty barebones and hard to decipher. I've only played through LR once, but I like the idea that Ulysses was a rambling idiot, since then you can toss up his nonsense to insanity.

Speaking of that, i hope everyone saw last week saw a huge update for the steam KOTOR2 which add lost content and fixes some stuff. It also integrates perfectly with the restoration mod, which is available through steam workshop. Its funny, the Courier is written pretty Asexually, like there isn't any romance options or anything in the game, but the writing between Christine and the Courier suggests there's feelings there.
