I started my melee character and got to Primm. Thought I'd go a different route and compliment the Legion guy on how efficient Legion Justice is. After I did my thing in Primm I ran to that NCR fort on the hilltop to the west. When I got there, one of the dialog options was "Ave Caesar!" I... I clicked it... And now everyone Mojave Outpost is dead...

Shooting the kind of dickhead who'd dig up a mysterious Old World superweapon the Enclave were screwing with and then activate it would be pretty goddamn satisfying though. Killing yet another Legionary nutter before he can exposition some more about your big convoluted backstory you never experienced, IDK man I still think the Divide should have been what happened when the Boomers got their bomber though so what do I know.

Gameplay related: are some things just not possible to steal? I wanted Big Boomer from Old Lady Gibson, and so I snuck into her shack while she was asleep and no dogs were around her, and while I could successfully steal the ammo to make her unequip it, it seemed impossible to take the gun itself. I only had a Sneak of like 32 so I thought that might be it, but even with a stealth boy and savescumming like twenty times, it didn't happen. I was playing Legion anyway so in the end I just sneak attacked her and took it, but still kind of annoying. randombattle posted:Nice, but I think you got a couple things wrong: someone else already mentioned that Ulysses was actually from the East, but I also don't think we know specifically that it was the NCR that sent the package that hosed up the Divide so badly. I think the only reason he's launching nukes at the NCR at all is because the Courier is from there. Of course, I could be wrong, I've only played through it once Eiba posted:I was going to say that there was no Navarro ED-E, and that ED-E was from DC but... looking it up, apparently Chris Avellone himself confirmed that the package from Navarro was indeed... ED-E. What the heck? How does that possibly work? I think its that the original ED-E, the one sitting on Johnson Nash's counter, is from DC. The duplicate in the Divide is the package from Navarro that activated the warheads, but when you turn it on it remotely scans and then copies your ED-E's files/personality/etc. The reason its more chipper and helpful is that the original was shot to poo poo by raiders and lost the ability to access most of that. So yeah, kind of confusing, but I think it makes sense in the end. And on a sidenote, I love that Avellone decided to give a long, tortured backstory to one of those random Enclave nerds I either shot, vaporized, or Deathclaw-gauntlet-stabbed to death at Adams Air Force Base in Fallout 3. Sorry, Whitley! quote:It's got a lot of elements of an interesting story... I just wish it was more coherent. Like apparently Ulysses is still looking for a future when he was in the Big MT and talked with Christine about the Brotherhood... but that's long after the Divide was destroyed and broke Ulysses. And how did Christine and Dog/God hear of the battle of the Divide in the ending slides? It wasn't exactly a big deal to anyone else, at least if you defused the bombs like I did. And in what way were we "each bearing a message for the other"? Yeah, this part I'm not so sure links up. From what you hear of him in Big MT he seemed like some super-confident badass, all saving Christine, thwarting Elijah, and bringing the brains to their knees with his single question. But in the Divide, his recordings suggest that he's some super-bitter nihilist whose obsession with you takes front and center and drat everything else. He also seemed way more awed by the Think Tank. As for all the allusions to it in Dead Money, I think they still work. The "bearing a message for each other" bit can be seen as the way you and him either challenge each other with opposite view points that will decide the Mojave's fate, or as the way you and him fought to the death in a nuclear bomb temple. As for it becoming so huge legend, I could see that happening easily if you launched a bomb at NCR/Legion/both, but even if you didn't, the Courier is already becoming kind of notorious with their adventures in the Mojave, and after the battle of Hoover Dam, whichever faction you go with makes you pretty legendary. It makes sense that people would find out about some of the other crazy poo poo that went down involving you after that.

Stealthboy up past the quarry to Vegas, go to the boomers? Or maybe you can stealthboy through Dead Wind Cavern and get mercy? Failing that I think there's a viper on the road from Nipton to Wolfhorn Ranch that usually has a grenade rifle.

Stealth through desthclaw highway, hit Vegas and hit Boomers. Do the generator first and pick up Thump Thump. This also lets you snag 4 globes (cemetery, lucky 38, mormon fort, boomer's base) so that's 8k for ammo and repairs. Happy Noodle Boy fucked around with this message at 19:12 on Oct 14, 2011 |

Eiba posted:I almost get the impression that the story of Lonesome Road wasn't finalized when they were still dropping hints about it. It's just kind of... awkward. This all reminds me of Lost. When Lost ended, I got the distinct feeling that nobody had ever figured out how to end it properly. The momentum of the gonzo plot got away from its creators, and no amount of explaining could ever corral it.

If you don't want to massacre Mojave Station and still get your Legion on, wait for Sergeant Whosis to wander away from the main buildings a bit, and only then report on Nipton. Be stealthy when you whack him after "Caesar Rules! <air guitar>", and you won't aggro the rest of the place. I've sneakily farmed the place for loot/XP in previous runs - inside or outside, sneak one-shot headshots are the trick. The Ranger CO and Major Sweetcheeks (Confimed Bachelor  ) in the HQ have ridiculous Spotting, and if Cass is hanging around the bar she'll dime you out if she sees. However, you can happily murder every unnamed NPC there every three days and no one will be the wiser. (I do recommend Ratslayer at a minimum, however; those piddly ballcaps/scarfs/goggles are enough to make silenced .22s problematic.  )McCarran is better for total bodycount (loot and XP-wise), but it's spread all over the drat place, which makes overloaded-trudging into an all-day chore. And I don't even want to *think* about trying to OCD through the Dam.

8 rifles, 4 pistols ATM, and basically every other weapon in the game either stashed in ED-E or the Novac hotel The real bitch of it is four of those eight rifles are lever-actions and three are scoped sniper rifles. This is getting silly.

At the moment I have way too many weapons - This Machine, Elijah's LAER, Christine's sniper rifle, the Holorifle, a bear trap fist, a gauss rifle, a .45 pistol and She's Embrace (in the middle of Honest Hearts right now). On top of that I usually lug around the Cram Opener and Paladin Toaster, but I dumped them for now. Honestly I could drop everything but This Machine, the Holorifle and the LAER and be quite happy, but I like the variety.  Everything else is either in a suitcase in Novac or on display in my suite.Speaking of Honest Hearts, is anything missable? I know you can go back after you're done, but from what I've heard everyone disappears. I just dropped off some supplies to Daniel and now I'm running errands for him with Waking Cloud. I miss Follows-Chalk

I only use one gun. The experimental gun you find in vault 21, with the plants. I use that, I have maxed out science skill, 90 energy weapon skill, and damaging corona thing. Anyone who doesn't immediately melt into goo dies from his friend next to him exploding into goo. Science, motherfuckers! It works!
