GRA is out? gently caress me, another DLC and I'm broke as poo poo.


I noticed a thing in game, wondering if it's a bug. I can point a gun at a dude's face, and he'll have a normal conversation with me. But if I holster the gun, people will act like I'm just firing wildly or something. Any way to fix that?

That would be a pretty great easter egg. Now I want someone to make a mod that does this :(

Wait, isn't the Mysterious Stranger that perk where the dude shows up in VATS some times to help you? Why would he shoot you?

For some reason, having my gun out, the npcs don't care. Holstering it, they run away and scream 'watch out!' I guess they like my guns? I'm pretty sure it should be working the opposite way.

Not being able to afford 3.99 dlc makes me sad :(

Really? I'm glad Interplay won the rights really, after Fallout New Vegas Fallout 3 and its DLC really do look inferior to the whole series in quite a few respects now.

Agreed. The Fallout 3 DLC seems pretty shallow now in comparison to NV and it's DLC. Even Gun Runners’ Arsenal, which are just weapons, seems really well done. I'd play the poo poo out of the new weapons. All of them.

So I found a new mod which I think is really cool and I wanted to share my new character with you guys. I apologize if this falls into the more "Fanfic" category, but... I think you guys might appreciate it at least a little bit.



My body sat upright on the mattress feeling hard and cold but otherwise no serious repercussions from the incident. It was like a switch had been flipped back on.



The male human doctor commented on how odd I seemed but I offered him the rebuttal that I was the normal one. In fact, I was exactly alike all of my friends. Some would even say, born from the same mold. They would not be incorrect.





I reiterated to the man that the male human thug who attacked me severely underestimated my capabilities. You could almost say I was designed to take bullets to the head with the utmost efficiency. That would be mostly correct.



This man. This doctor man. Many questions were asked. It seemed an eternity had surpassed us as I processed his tests. His diagnostics. It was for my benefit he assured me.



Before I could depart to my destination to exact my revenge on the male human thug I had to run my global positioning system. It pin-pointed my exact location as well as the best route to my destination. It would not be long now.

So I'm planning a quick power-start:
- INT/LCK at 9, Skilled + Good Natured for Traits, Tag Lockpick/???/??? (leaning towards Barter & Guns)
- Cemetary snowglobe + stealth boy from school
- Sneak past deathclaw highway to McCarran
- Buy NCR clothes, get This Machine, take tram to Vegas.
- Get 4000 for 2 snowglobes
- Get INT implant
- Go to the Divide, grab Riot Gear and ED-E (can you even take him back with you to Mojave?)
* Gamble some money to repair your riot gear or somehow figure out how to get 100 lockpick at this ridiculously low level?
- Begin OWB at level 1-2 and get The Sink all pimped out (or just do the main quest, go back to mojave to begin the game and pimp out the Sink later?)

Oh, but to answer your question he probably means the ones from the Gun Runners DLC that you can (I assume) buy at Gun Runners once it's installed. The gold bars are from the Sierra Madre Casino (Dead Money), and they're worth an insane amount of money apiece.

Ahhhh. I don't have DM. Just HH, OWB, and LR. No Gun Runner either, and that hurts me deep. I remember trying DM on a friends game, didn't really love it. But what I do love are new, interesting ways to murder people. If only this came out when I didn't have a negative bank account :(

I know this isn't the modding thread, but I'd really like to recommend New Vegas Bounties. It's a pretty fun mod that basically has you go around and kill a bunch of people that may or may not be thinly veiled pop culture references. The ending is a bit jarring, but it's a fun quest with a bunch of amazing rewards throughout.

The revolver is loving insane. Combined with the signature weapons mod this is definitely going to break the game in a rather fun way.

I used to use it, I always thought the weapons were a bit overpowered. On the other hand, I might have to use it again, as I can't afford GRA, and I needs me new weapons to mess with.

Ok, I'm going to bite. How on earth were you unaware of this?

Do you just not use VATS normally so it's just a case of "I never use it so didn't know that", or you actually use it and just click once, then watch the animation, then do it again? I really am unsure how you even achieved this.


While we are stating things we didn't know, for the longest time I didn't know you could cycle through item types in the shop/container view. I thought how absolutely frustrating it was that you had a single window with all your items and had to hunt down looking for all your armor or all your guns. Turns out you can press the left and right arrow keys to filter through item categories like in your pipboy.

I didn't know that about shop/container views!


Also, I made a new character. 9 int 9 luck. Lockpicking/science/repair. I was hidden behind the npc in the goodsprings bar, stole his poo poo. I went outside, and for some reason everyone attacked. It said hidden when I did it. :(

Gonna have to redo because I was too stupid to save before trying it. Might just hold off until I can get GRA.

It amazes me that I'm still finding all kinds of stuff in the vanilla game after such a long time of playing it. I still haven't completed The Thorn stuff, just found that vault with the rest of the Powder Gangers, finally found Deathclaw Promontory, still haven't done that quest to free slaves from Cottonwood Cove, nor have I talked to the legion guy Dead Sea more than once. poo poo, I've never even gone inside the lodge at Camp Golf. drat. Also I haven't even done many of the NCR quests aside from the ones on the strip. I am a shameful person. I think New Vegas is the biggest game I've played.

Also, I just played the melee guy that I didn't think I'd stick with and got some Riot Gear at level 3. I bought it and have like 3k caps left over. Awesome! Lonesome Road breaks the economy but it sure is fun to do. That trip definitely reminded me of the run from Arroyo to Navarro in Fallout 2.
