Honest Hearts I always stashed at the Ranger Stations or in the packs left at the Caravan Massacre for convenience after you finish the main storyline and get to leave. The second one is probably better as I frequently found myself getting gangbanged by Giant Yao Guai when I fast traveled to the ranger stations. Lonesome Road has the amazing commissary doo-dads so don't worry about stashing, just sell sell sell. Make sure to keep the small items like frags/cigarettes in reserve to get their caps just below 200. I probably think about this too much, I'm an absolute packrat though. Finally took the 'fast travel while overloaded' perk on my current run and did a little dance with happiness after I released I could shift all my 2000+ weight gear from house to house in one go. Have to agree Lonesome Road wasn't my favourite, I was expecting something a lot more open and longer I guess. Wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination, and to be fair I did enjoy Honest Hearts most out of the DLC so maybe my taste is just broken.

I also enjoyed Honest Hearst the most. Lonesome Road and Dead Money shares the second place while Old World Blues was my least favorite. But yeah, Lonesome Road kinda won me over almost purely on the atmosphere of it all. Loved the hell-ish atmosphere, plus it's one of few instances in the new Fallouts where I actually enjoyed the combat a fair amount.

After putting in about 40 hours suddenly my game crashes whenever I try to load a save, or even create a new game. I haven't made any changes to my machine or anything, I finished Honest Hearts just last night and was looking forward to finally playing through Old World Blues and Lonesome Road. Anyone know what's causing this?

Planning on heading straight into Old World Blues next, so is there any particular advice going into that? Any weapons that are good to take, or does it take all my stuff again?

It will take your gear, but you get it back promptly. You'll have lockers, supplies, benches and a shop accessible.

You can bring as much as you want to OWB. If you are a guns character, bring a LOT of ammo for whatever your favorite weapon is. You will find little. Might also be worth putting a couple of points in melee so you don't have to waste ammo on some of the weaker enemies.

If your save file gets above a certain size it starts acting really glitchy; I think mine started doing that at like 35 hours (but I tried exploring like everywhere and doing all of the DLCs).

Bring as much ammo as you can carry. I (Very foolishly) only took about 200 rounds of .308 JSP (Amongst other types, though in similar quantities), and found myself scrounging for anything very quickly. If nothing else, you'll certainly learn to love the Proton Axe.

Hell's Motel is awesome apart from Ghoul Reavers cock blocking you when you want to fast travel from outside. I just use the abandoned BoS bunker for convenience, with the crafting tables and Sierra Madre dispenser.

Any suggestions on the last few perks I should take? I'm at 27 now, going to cap out at 35 due to Rope Kid's mod. Build so far: quote:S 5 I'm caught between taking two ranks of toughness then maybe Light Touch, but I hate locking myself into one armor type even if I end up wearing light armor anyway all the time. Also considering maybe Thought You Died but it seems a lil' buggy. Any other suggestions for this build? I think my next playthrough I might try working through the game without using VATS.

Jury Rigging is one of the best perks in the game, since it's the only thing that will allow you to repair a lot of the rare armors without spending a retarded amount of caps. I'd certainly recommend that.

Unless you're a scrub that is  Kidding aside, I always disliked VATS quite a bit. I thought it made the game too easy. I'll occasionally do it when those close quarters battles get wonky, but it gets old watching a bandit head explode in slow motion for the 100th time.

VATS is hilarious as poo poo with vanilla Unarmed. You do what appears to be a punch or two that lightly jostles your opponent and then you suddenly punch their arm off.

VATS was an... interesting choice for Bethsoft to make, interpreting the turn-based, AP-driven mechanisms from the original Fallout games into their realtime shooter-style gameplay. I'll always miss the eye and crotch shots, but for what it is - largely, a mechanism for which RPG players who don't normally play shooters to be able to accurately explode a bandit's head a few hundred times - it's pretty good. A friend of mine (who I've been nudging to play New Vegas) confessed she really doesn't play shooters that often because her aim is pretty poor; VATS is perfect for that player. On the other hand, she ably wrenched her way through Bioshock so I'm sure she could chop or brawl her way through New Vegas just fine. I use VATS intermittently, I don't love it and I don't hate it. It's just one of many tools the game provides.

I think I might've used VATS once in New Vegas, but I'm not sure. It was about the only way I fought in Fallout 3 though.

Yeah, the weapons and aiming systems are so much tighter in NV than F3 that vats became my "oh poo poo" button. Almost never used it for combat, unless I was trying to pull off a trick shot (shooting a grenade, or something).

I mostly used it for krippling specific limbs, like the wings on cazadores or deatchlaw legs, since it makes life a bit easier. That and the occasional slo-mo head explosion. It helps that VATS isn't really the god mode version it was back in F3, and using it in the wrong spot can get you killed.

I wanted to play the game without using VATS much, but to be honest the actual shooting in this engine just feels really bad to me so I ended up using it more often than I originally intended to. I find I don't use it a whole lot with melee weapons, though, if only because it never seemed particularly useful for them.

doomfunk posted:This, so much this. I have no idea why anyone decided VATS should make you nigh-invulnerable. It has a few funky problems that still punctuate new vegas. The problem is no one likes dying to something they can't fight back against, and if you just happened to trigger it before a grenade you didn't see, you'd be frustrated to suddenly die when you couldn't dodge. New Vegas still has the problem where the % said you should have a 95% chance of hitting, but somehow the aiming got screwed up and now you're hitting an invisible barrier jutting off a nearby wall. It's sloppy and makes you go "COME ON!". So instead of alleviating this, Bethesda just made you nigh invincible in F3. I don't think it's a GOOD solution but I see why they did it, and I think NV still gives some level of damage reduction even if it's not as extreme?

They actually did a good job of making VATS useful for melee in that some of the weapons had really great VATS-specific attacks after 50+ skill level. These weren't too great unless you had the Super Slam perk though, which made some of them practically guarantee a knockdown (Oh Baby! was amazing for this). But for guns, I only ever used it to shoot dynamite out of Powder Gangers hands. Its always funny.

Yeah, it's 25% instead of 95%, and there was also a +15% crit chance in FO3, and +5% in NV. I liked the NV system better. It's useful enough to still be worth using occasionally, but not so OP that I start every fight with VATS head shots 3 or 4 times, then plink away at whatever health is left after that.
