Okay, so I guess I'll do Honest Hearts first, but it seems like my character really shouldn't have any motivation to do so since he's comfortably sitting on about 25k caps due to 10 luck stat. I really wish there were more money sinks in this game at times like this.

Captain Walker posted:Ultimate Guide to Fallout. Fallout 2 is to this day still my favorite game of all time, and I wasted so much time in college playing an outdated game (it was outdated when I was in college 10 years ago). But I always loved this part of the game. I would honestly pick up and carry anything I found to the point where it was stupid. One of my favorite memories was when my college roommate wanted me to get this awesome gun and I was like, "drat! It's too heavy. I'll need to unload some stuff." We went through my inventory and he was like, "Why are you carrying 50 rocks?" I just looked at him like he was crazy. "For throwing at the children. For throwing...at the children."

The Fist of the North Rawr is everything I never knew I wanted. I never want to stop going out of my mind on GRX and Psycho and ripping heads off. I need to go find more Deathclaws to punch to death.

If you're approaching it from a roleplaying/character point of view and you're extremely comfortable financially, why not wait till you get into a shitload of trouble with one of the factions and then join the caravan in order to "get out of town and let things cool off for awhile"? Sure they'll (probably the Legion) still hate you as much when you get back, but at least they don't hate you so much as to track you all the way to

So I picked this game up again and I'm still on House wanting the Brotherhood dead. How can I get my favor up with them some more, I don't want Veronica to leave me. So far, I got Hardin elected as the Elder and became a paladin.

I really wish I wasn't approaching it from a roleplaying standpoint, but for some reason I just can't really metagame in New Vegas like I can in Bethesda games. Somewhere in the back of my mind I always feel like a dirty cheater for bringing in foreknowledge, and to a lesser extent just going and doing something because I know it'll give me a good reward. At the same time whenever I play Morrowind I usually have a full suit of Ordinator armor and Daedric weapons. I am a crazy person about Fallout I guess.

I think that's the main difference.

I picked up fallout off gog, made it out of vault 13, ran into a bunch of mantis's on my way to vault 15, critically missed my punch which cost me a turn, get knocked off my feet by a mantis critical, and then get my poo poo stomped in by the other 5. I want the next fallout game to be that mean right from the git go.

Does Arcade completely leave you once you do his quest? I wanted to pal around together with out Enclave Power armor, shooting fiends in the face with overpowered energy weapons.

You can actually outrun poo poo in Fallout you know, you're really not supposed to fight everything IIRC there's a few ways to get an SMG almost instantly, which helps a lot for encounters where you really do get cornered. Isn't there one in that panel right outside the vault or something? Tubgirl Cosplay fucked around with this message at 08:05 on Apr 6, 2012 |

Having been chased clear to Vegas by radscorpions in FONV, it does merit pointing out Also bumping up Outdoorsman and (I think, maybe) Perception will drop you a little further away from gribblies in random encounters. To better run away. Tubgirl Cosplay fucked around with this message at 08:25 on Apr 6, 2012 |

If you tell him to fight, he'll be hanging around at the battle. If you tell him to go back to Freeside, I guess he goes back but he won't be recruitable again. At least, he's not supposed to be, people have reported getting him to glitch somehow and end up back at the 38, but he won't get an ending slide that way.

I just arrived in Nipton, murder and desolation everywhere, I barely finished speaking with the Legion guy when that old guy comes to me and tells me about his bottle caps. "Man, you're standing in the middle of destroyed town, the legion is still here and they murdered everybody,surely those bottle caps can't be that important."

On top of that, run away from random encounters you're not confident you can win. In fact, you can run away from most random encounters, often the loot/XP you'd get wouldn't be that good anyways.

I'm pretty sure I was near sloan lining up a young deathclaw when he ran up. It's already hard enough to line up a sniper rifle with lovely gun skill, you're making a lot harder bottle cap guy. And why didn't the old man stop you too?

rope kid posted:The best I had was immediately following the end of Come Fly With Me. Dude appeared behind me in the control room right after launch. He's a determined man. My favorite was him coming into the deathclaw cave with me the first time I discovered it at like level 4. I was trying to sneak and then he starts speaking at full volume to me about bottle caps. It was really rude.

Fibby Boy posted:Is there a character guide or something for fallout? I'm pretty goddamn tired of dying to a radscorpion or a pack of mantis's before making it to vault 15. Tag at least one weapon skill. Small Guns is probably your best bet because Big Guns and Energy Weapons are late-game skills so you should not tag them but should dump one or two points in every level. Charisma is pretty useless, although its derived skills (barter and speech) are among the most useful. Speech especially. Agility is pretty awesome because of what it means for action points. Trait-wise, Gifted is good, but not as good as it first looks. Small Frame is good but you can't be a hoarder. In combat, if you have spare action points, use them to move. Supposedly the penalty on a to-hit roll against you when you move is way higher than the armor bonus you get for unused points. Don't grind for experience. You don't need to and it'll get you killed. Quests are way better for gaining XP. Run away whenever things get too hectic. If you have a high Agility, you will generally make it to the exit grid before your enemies kill you. And... that's it really. Oh, and combat's way less tedious if you turn combat speed up to max.

Have to wonder if it was worth it.

Anyone who doesn't kill that guy I just don't know what to tell you. He's even lying to you about still collecting them, he has like eight on him. That, and his gear is a nice +10 Barter for various skill checks early on.

Erm, on steam the Ultimate Edition is £29.99- does the come with all the DLC because the mission based DLC on its own comes to £29.96 so if I get a giftable game out of the Ultimate Edition may as well get that right? Or is the real answer just wait for it all to go on sale?
