The best thing is stealing a guards armor (leave the helmet obviously) without him noticing every time he calls you a thief or acts like a shithead. If you play for a decent amount of time eventually every city will be filled with oblivious guards walking around in their underwear.

Just the guards?

Also, wow there's a lot of cut audio files for Three Dog, including ones where he reacts confusedly when you're an evil character and do something good and vice versa, or when your karma rating changes. It's a shame New Vegas just kind of had karma tacked on vestigially. And also that it didn't have a faithful enough analogue to Three Dog, although Mr. New Vegas got pretty close.

A Legion radio station that broadcast intimidating speeches from Lanius would have been a cool way to build him up before you meet him, I love the guy but he's only in the game for one conversation :(

TBF reputation was basically Karma expect much much better. I will agree that Mr. New Vegas wasn't as good as Three Dog though I prefer the song setlist in NV over FO3.

The karma system in New Vegas should've just been dropped to begin with. Only a handful of things change according to Karma, and you literally get positive karma by mowing down raiders that are trying to kill you. The reputation system was a lot better for how characters react to you.

I didn't like Three Dog. I've only played through 3 like, twice, and the second time I made a point to kill him. I probably would've done the same to Mr. New Vegas, if he wasn't an intangible presence, but mostly for shiggles. His flirtatious advances kept me going through the Mojave.

Whelp, I suppose there's no accounting for taste. But really? You would have wanted some character to either give you heavy handed praise ("The brave courier from Goodsprings saved the day! Good job, kid!"), or call you a big meanie?

"If Three Dog were here, he'd say something witty. But he's not. 'Cause somebody killed him. So you get me playing music. Yay(!)."

Killing Three Dog was one of the last things I did before retiring my 100+ hours character. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard Margaret's voice.

Three Dog seems to exist exclusively to fellate/castigate the player.

Mr. New Vegas is reporting the news as someone who wouldn't even know who you are would. Which makes sense, because sure you'll build up cred before the endgame, but until you've at least got the faction quest chains showing up, no one with enough sway to run a radio station would have reason to put together that you're the one behind half the stuff on the news.

The best thing about killing Three Dog is if you do it listening to Galaxy News Radio you can still hear him talking about how great you are for a little bit as you watch him fly from one side of the room to the other.

It's been a really long while since I played F3, but I do believe Three Dog only survived in my very first play through. In the wasteland you just don't say no to me at point blank range.

That and I've found him to be a very annoying character that doesn't really add much to the narrative. On the other hand, I always went out of my way to protect Sticky, so who am I to judge.

They tried so hard to make Sticky annoying, but because he had so many unique and varying voice lines, he was less annoying than the actual companions that follow you indefinitely.

I have a (NV) question that probably sounds really dumb to all the veterans here, but I'll ask it anyway: do you need the Jury Rigging perk to repair reinforced leather armour with normal leather armour?

I've forgotten, does Honest Hearts tell you when you're about to reach the point of no return? I think I've done most things, just got the Grand Staircase map and have done Follows-Chalk and Waking Cloud's quests. I haven't been to all the Father in the Caves locations yet, but is there anything else to do with the unique characters before going into the final bit? I'll definitely check out all the locations regardless, whether it be before or after the White Legs battle.

Honest Hearts definitely tells you when you're about to reach the point of no return. Reinforced leather armor can be reinforced with normal leather armor, according to both available Fallout wikias, so you don't need Jury Rigging.

Nope. Reinforced leather can be repaired with standard leather armor. Jurry Rigging will enable you to repair it with all light armours.

Huh, weird. I tried yesterday to damage my normal leather armour, so I could use it to repair the reinforced stuff I found, but it didn't work. Was probably just doing something wrong then, honestly I don't really know how the Repair skill works outside of interacting with traps and being able to repair things... erm, better. Might have another go later if I'm not busy.

Garrand

Rhino, you did this to me!

AFAIK in NV an item has set repair lists (obviously jury rigging adds more items to that list), so you should always be able to repair the Reinforced leather with a plain leather armor. Your actual repair skill just dictates how much the item gets repaired by (unlike FO3, which had item repair caps based on your skill.) Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Unless you have Project Nevada and are using the Alternate Repair system where, as your repair skill increases, you get wider and wider lists of items you can use to repair things with.

This post has said repair a lot. Repair.

That one was the funniest to do because each take I would exaggerate the phrases more until they became ridiculous.

The folk/western ones were more difficult because they weren't quite in my range and the guitarists had to learn the music on the spot. I was really surprised when Bethesda used Home on the Wastes in the Ultimate Edition trailer. I had no idea they were even aware of it.

Get Jury Rigging anyway it's the best perk of any perk in any Bethesda game. But if I remember correctly you can repair your Reinforced and Reinforced II leather armors with regular leather armors.

Honest Hearts's final battle is initiated when you talk to either the cool guy that everyone likes or the poo poo mormon that no one cares about and say its time to go to war or whatever you want to do. It's like Hey you wanna fight // "Yeah I wanna fight" // This is goin' to be a real rumble you sure // "Yeah I'm sure" // Okay you got all your poo poo and ready to fight now? // "Yeah I'm ready to fight" or something like that.

Thanks for the advice with the armour guys. Turns out I had to enter the Pip-Boy, equip the reinforced armour, leave the Pip-Boy, go back in, then I could fix it. Not sure whether that's normal or not! The armour in 3 was a lot more polar, so I'm trying to be... erm, strategic, I guess.
