You've got the invisible supermutant, Boone's quest and the Come fly with me quest - which arguably isn't even a Novac quest. What other poo poo would you be referring to?

Plus, hey! Got shot in the head and survived! Little note of hope for all the guys and gals who're risking getting shot in the head out in the wasteland.

Well, the Fallout thing to do would be to cut it off and eat it. Or throw it at some big roided-up dude hoping for a surprise.

That's not a big deal because it usually takes multiple headshots to take down someone in the Fallout Universe. Maybe the Courier had a END of 1, would explain why it took two pointblank headshots from a 9mm pistol to nearly kill them, they should have checked to see if they had 1 HP left before burying.

As long as they didn't see me, Deathclaws died in one shot as long as I hit them. Head, leg, arm, didn't really matter.

I doubt the Courier is a robot. I'm just poking fun at the gameplay and story segregation the game has. Storywise headshots are supposed to be lethal, yet during gameplay it often takes 4-5 rounds to the head to kill your target if you're not using the absolute top end weapons.

Considering that people don't clean up the trash and rubble, the whole area must smell bad. Doesn't matter how bad someone stinks because the whole place stinks.

hello fallout new vegas thread i have created a completely new version of fallout (currently I use it with tale of two wastelands) that radically changes the game, making it somewhere between 10 and 100 times better than the vanilla game. all you have to do is replace the soundtrack with the one from "Escape from New York" (1981), and then play (compatible with all mods) HOLY poo poo IT IS AMAZING

I think House not having any backup plans if the Courier doesn't join him is in character. He thinks he's invincible and the smartest living man. I mean, he lives in a bunker kept alive for over 200 years, suviving a war that destroyed all of human civilization. Not only that, but before the war he was pretty much responsible for all of the advanced tech that was used. How many RobCo things have there been? Lots of stuff in the Vaults were created by RobCo, including your Pipboy. He is so detached that he cannot even think that someone may take a stand against him.

The first time you meet him he pretty much says to the word that without a doubt, you'll help him. To him, his own plan is infallible because he just plain knows you're going to help him. He's not necessarily blinded by his ego so much as planning for the wrong kind of failings. Like, he has his obituary blasted on loudspeakers to everyone on the Strip when he dies... but his entire scheme hinges on the Courier helping him and he doesn't have a contingency plan for if that doesn't work out.

To be fair, he assumes the courier is going to take the rationally self-interested route (because he would) and House is by far the best choice in that context, and he's arguably the best choice for the Mojave in the broader scoooh God it's starting agaaaain

The NCR are imperialists, Mr. House is a petty immortal dictator, yes-man is a cop out option, legion is obviously stupid and bad, etc., etc., the only good ending is the one where the courier fucks off back west because gently caress cazadores and Benny takes over New Vegas.

You are his backup plan. By the time you meet him in the game he's got no other options. All he can do is be nice to you through Victor and hope gratitude for saving you will be motivation enough to help him. If it isn't then he'll offer you riches. If that doesn't work he'll threaten you. Whatever it takes, because everything is riding on you at this point.

A lot of people recommend "A world of pain" for a second playthrough, am I the only one who thinks that mod is irredeemably bad? Jsawywer + PN or just Jsawyer for a second playthrough?

You are not, because AWOP sucks. PN on the other hand is pretty awesome, and it's very customizable. Just set it up how you like and go.

House is entirely egomaniacal enough to believe you wouldn't back stab him. He's totally convinced that he's the rightist bestest smartest option for Mankind and Vegas that you can't not work for him. He didn't envision Benny could betray him either, yet it happened. He still doesn't think you could do it either, despite the fact that he's only meeting with you because he was let rayed by someone he quasi trusted. Caesar is similar. Despite all of the rules he's laid out for his society, he literally gives no fucks about breaking them to his own ends. Because he's better and more important than those mong loving legionnaires. They don't know poo poo, he's their loving god emperor super king. Anyone who raises any questions is going to get a shiv in the back and crucified, though no one likely will since they'd probably assume you're a Frumentari and Legionnaires aren't the question asking type to begin with.

Monster Mod is the worst mod because while it adds all these awesome monsters it has no interest whatsoever in their placement making any sense, leading you to step out of the doctor's house and bam there's a twelve-foot abomination with a huge fuckoff axe who would like to have a word with you about what a dick you're being about this whole "head attached to body" thing.

I wish there were an end-all-be-all "realism" combat mod. I want one-hit headshot kills on both me and the enemy. Yeah it's cheating because I've played NV enough to know where the enemy spawns are, but that's beyond the point. Also House is the best option for the survival of new vegas, if you disagree you are not a two hundred year old cyber genius and are therefore wrong

Yeah, extreme realism mode in this game would be really fun if only because it would quickly become "watch my character ragdoll simulator 2014"; but also would be Devil May Cry's Hell and Hell mode (not to be confused with Heaven or Hell). Whoever gets first strike basically wins.

People toss around this word imperialism to the point where the word has lost meaning. What kind of empire spans a five hour drive between two cities founded by the same nation, under the same federal republic, that speak the same language, that share the same history and have extremely close strategic interests. Fans talk about how the Fallout games should involve seeing the progress made after the fall of the bombs, but then we make rebuilding lost borders an anathema. It hasn't made sense for the world to operate as a series of independent city-states since Plato died. In a future where any idiot with a flashlight might stumble upon a forgotten intercontinental superweapon, restoring regional security is an imperative, not an ambition.

While I like House's plan to rebuild civilization enough to get people off Earth since it is too trashed to be sustainable, I don't know if he really has the infrastructure to fully support it. Then again I like the idea of House being Fallout's version of the God Emperor of Mankind.
