Weirdest loving thing with Hardin, and I'm pretty sure this actually happened because I was weirded out by it when I noticed it before your post. My first playthrough, I could have SWORN Hardin was young and had a beard and long blonde hair. On the second playthrough, though, he was bald with no facial hair. I looked around that place for a solid 20 minutes for that Thor looking motherfucker.

Yeah, he says they had weapons in the vault to start with, but they didn't get the artillery until they got to Nellis and found out where an army base was. Then they looted that, and there you go.

Boomer's loot is from Area 51 and Area 2 I believe. The biggest of the guns were straight military hardware from a depot(s), not things they had in the vault underground. Same for their flight sim gear.

The museum kid mentions that they thought the pods were fancy chairs and slept in them until they discovered what they really were. And I'm sure at least some of the heavy ordinance (probably not the missile launchers) came from the Vault, I mean hell, the mural explicitly shows them roasting "raiders" with Flamers before they found Nellis. quote:more fascist military flavor We really did need a little more Enclave in this game.

NotALizardman posted:I agree on the villains thing. I just want to see more of them as "allies". Like the BoS but even bigger assholes. So does Chicago's Enclave compound become more insular or less when they realize the other two big sites got leveled and all their viable genocide plans would probably kill them too? Or do they even follow American orders or still work on genocide after they saw the last two groups to do it get A-Teamed into oblivion? And if they DO pretty much give up on being America (even if they don't give up on claiming it), what do they do now? Figure that out and you probably have the basis for a DLC for a future Great Lakes edition of Fallout, if the DLC isn't itself the most concise answer. On that note: Given how we've heard of the Brotherhood having the idea that they should inherit the earth simply by waiting for the 'tribals' to die out (albeit from hearsay from Veronica, so take with a jigger of salt), why haven't we seen one of their chapters go scorched earth yet? (Boulder Dome doesn't count.) Warning: This post is based on a hell of a lot of assumptions, like Bethesda actually acknowledging anything in New Vegas as canon, or deigning to use the Enclave anymore in any capacity. Although I suppose any remaining Enclave compounds could be pretty much wherever; edit locations accordingly.

If I found Hardcore More more annoying than immersive, would it still be worth it to get Courier's Stash just so I can use the JSawyer mod? It has lots of fixes that look awesome (perk fixes, weapon durability changes, karma fixes), and lots of things I'm ambivalent about (carry weight nerf, level cap change, etc.) On one hand, no more level 40+ bulletsponge hordes, on the other, no ubergod Courier. Any advice?

I'd like to think that if the Chicago Enclave is anything other than a tiny group, that they'd look at the rousing success of the NCR, Legion, whatever solidified in the DC Wasteland and any other nations that might be floating around and say "Oh wow, a big fuckoff army... that's way better than our idea."

Had a problem pop up a few days ago and checked back aways on here but didn't see it, hoping you folks can help. Played NV once all the way through with no bugs or problems, wiped my computer awhile back and just starting again after buying all the DLCs for dirt cheap and getting the itch. Been playing this run through awhile but a couple of days ago the game itself started for lack of a better word stuttering. I'll start it up, everything loads fine but after the first couple of minutes the framerate seems to drop terribly. It looks and feels like every step and a half there's a pause and then it goes. Fast traveling/entering a new area/alt tabbing to the desktop and going back fixes it sometimes for a minute or so at a time, sometimes longer but it always comes back after awhile. I've tried moving the latest save file away and deleting all of NV off my comp and then reinstalling but it still kept doing it. Also tried that New Vegas Stutter remover whatever thing you throw in the data file that is supposed to fix something like it but still have the same problem. Any ideas?

I'm playing a hardcore melee guy with Jsawyer and I find it a pretty interesting change. You can still deal massive amounts of damage at high levels (Gehenna + Pyromaniac + Cloud Kiss pretty much destroys everything) but you're a lot less invulnerable. Charging into a group of several enemies can be dangerous, and deathclaws can still one shot me. This has lead to me actually putting a little planning into fights rather than headshotting everything from a mile away. Specifically, I have learned to love Turbo, a lot. Playing a melee character made the carry weight less of an issue, but you can still pick up the relevant perks (Pack Rat, Strong Back, Burden To Bear) to remedy a lack of space. Plus you appreciate your companions that much more.

The Boomers brought in the heavy weapons and artillery themselves when they decided to take over. I can't see how the BoS could have operatives wandering around the Mojave and not hear about how the Boomers are extremely dangerous and anybody who goes near them gets blown up. Surely Veronica would have heard something hanging out around the 188. Even if they didn't know, there's a difference in how Hardin and McNamara would have handled it. If Hardin sent troops to Nellis, their commanding officers would have known about the mission and would be looking after their troops. When they got blown up, somebody would know about it and he wouldn't rely on some third party to find out what happened.
