Man some of the gun runner quest names little meme-y but what you actually have to do for most of them are great.

Someone needs to make a confirmed bachelor "fix" mod that promises to make it the ultra-macho jock thing people for some inexplicable reason keep mistaking it for, where it actually just removes all dialogue options except for the confirmed bachelor ones.

I think "Liked" is only one step above neutral, so there's that. Most likely explanation is "a bug" though.

The whole karma system is retarded. I gain karma for killing powder gangers, then lose karma for looting their crap. I play like a kleptomaniac sociopath, and I still get to the highest level of good karma.

It's even worse because the amount of good karma you get for killing a feral ghoul is something like 100, and the amount of karma you lose for stealing something is 1.

I couldn't imagine playing without hardcore mode. It doesn't make it 'harder' since satisfying those basic needs are trivial, but I can't fathom playing New Vegas with weightless and therefore infinite ammo, and stimpacks that healed instantaneously. I actually wish there was an animation time for using stimpacks or drugs so you have to make the decision during combat if you want to make yourself vulnerable for a few seconds.

Hardcore bugs me because ammo has weight, but ammo components, drugs, and magazines still don't. So as long as you're willing to break things down, you could still have 30 metric tons of rockets, enough stimpacks to overdose a super mutant, and 83 copies of "Vault-Boy's Life" to haul around.

Or pay the 10 caps for some snake on a stick and avoid having to put points into an otherwise completely useless skill.

If you're spending so much time in the sticks that you manage to completely deplete them of food, which is everywhere and necessary like maybe once every three days, I'd think you'd be grateful for the chance to occupy yourself.

Also Survival owns

I don't get what you're saying here, is it that if you spend enough time in the same area you deplete merchants of food? Because as a guy with no points in survival whose entire food supply comes from poo poo lying around and what you get from merchants that's never been an issue.

Similarly, stacking healing with a poo poo survival skill just using the stuff lying around has always resulted in more than enough healing on its own without having to use magic recipes.

We're talking about even getting to the point where you'd have to use merchants/pay for food. I never even carry food items because you're never more than fifteen seconds from a refrigerator or cache of like half a dozen decent food items, the concept of staying in one small area for so long those all go away is mindblowing. At that point you're barely even playing the same game I recognize, you're doing like some hardcore simulationist provincial wastelander run where you settle down in Goodsprings and become a farmer for the next thirty game-years or something.

Uh, I don't think we're disagreeing here. I just consider merchants another version of a refrigerator or cache of food.

Throw away or dump the ammo components in a box someplace instead of hauling them around with you is my suggestion. Also make sure to pick up a UI mod someplace that decreases the text size/gaps in the pipboy so you can see more than five items at a time.

Once you hit the REPCONN HQ you're basically set for life on energy ammo. I think technically the vanilla plasma caster gives you the most bang per shot, so hauling to the silver rush and buying/stealing it ASAP could also be beneficial.

Hitting a person with a baseball bat and a boxing glove is completely different! However, a minigun and pistol both have triggers and bullets so they're the same. I'm a scientist.

Next you'll tell me throwing a grenade and firing a Mk19 grenade launcher from the hip being governed by the same skill isn't due to them being similar.

Traps was the most useless skill in Fallout 1 and 2. Not even gambling was as worthless.

Um grenades used the "throwing" skill in FO1/2, traps was for timed explosives!!!!! Try holding a grenade in your hand sometime as opposed to a block of C4. They're clearly quite different.

Anyway my original point was while there are many valid reasons that unarmed and melee were kept separate skills (covered already by rope kid and cicadalek), "Swinging something and punching something are different" is not one of them. I don't know where we ended up after that.

edit: drat rope kid, just read up on the meaning behind the sprtel-wood's name. That's heavy.

If worse comes to worse you can always crank down the difficulty to very easy for a while and kill everything with a stiff breeze while taking orbital strikes to the face.

So, uh...

I finish up Honest Hearts, come back home to the casino, and I'm greeted by ED-E attacking and killing Veronica. Then everything turns blue.

Reload, he goes after Boone instead. No blue screen. Another reload, Veronica again, no blue.

As soon as I enter the suite, they go into combat mode, so I can't talk to them. Any suggestions?

Did you leave any food in Boone or Veronica's pockets?

In Fallout 2 I got Marcus and Sulik simply to use them as pack mules, but in New Vegas I just recruited them all and sent them to the Lucky 38. Having them around feels too much like having the computer play the game for me.

While the fact that there's a lot of places that would've been logically cleaned up by now that are covered in trash bugs me, you drove a freaking car yourself in Fallout 2. Not to mention vertibirds.

To be more specific, the cache is just all the preorder bonuses lumped together. While they were more powerful than the stuff you would normally start out with, they were still balanced to be "starting" weapons and as such get outclassed quickly when you start finding higher tier/unique weapons. The non-weapon bonuses were just like 10 extra stimpacks or similar.

I guess it was kind of a stupid question anyway since it was obviously just a horrible fever dream hallucination that Harold migrated across the entire country and turned into a tree, though the mercy of freeing him with cleansing flame was cathartic, if only a figment of imagination.
