Have they said how the Courier’s Stash will work? Do they dump all 4 packs into your inventory at the game start, or does a menu come up that lets you select them?

And more importantly, how does it interfere with the preorder items? According to the wiki, it only allows players to access one of the item sets. But what if I already have, say, three of the four preorder item sets already? Can I chose the fourth as my Courier's Stash set, but keep the other three?

ClearAirTurbulence posted:Probably don't want to keep Cass on an NCR playthrough, as her quests conflict with a pro-NCR one if you give her to the Van Graffs, they betray the Legion and start supplying weapons to the NCR. Actually, you get an even better NCR ending if you do Cass' quest peacefully, and never clear out the Van Graffs after completing the quest: the NCR uses the information you get from the Van Graffs and the Crimson Caravan Company to blackmail them both. Then they use them to strengthen their position in the Mojave and pass trade laws to restrict them from doing anything. And, if you steal the Gun Runner's design stuff for the Crimson Caravan, the Gun Runners wipe out the Van Graffs and CC once NCR's done with them.

I feel like OWB should be the first DLC new characters play if only for The Sink. Now that's a proper home base.

Dead Man Posting posted:Fire is considered energy. It isn't considered explosive because it doesn't explode. You clearly haven't been using the heavy incinerator then.  And I get that fire is a form of energy; I think my problem is that I'm classifying weapon types by their ammo. Most energy weapons use either SECs, MFCs and ECPs all of which strike me as batteries. The fuel tank seems more like a volatile material that is weaponized on ignition.

ColHannibal posted:LR suffers from the "we gotta make this harder" syndrome with it's point blank death claw spawns and the gameplay suffers from it. The Lonesome Road experienced summarized: "exiting the tunnelers area puts you in the center of a one-second frag mine field, and also triggers two deathclaw spawns. Once the deathclaws reach the player invisible marked men pour in from the flanks." Once I got to the rest stop I was basically ready to be done with LR altogether. It was an unfun slog, mixing cryptic lectures with fun-killing monster closet spawns.

Allow me to make a case for how much I love F:NV This is my character. I'm not what you'd call a fighter. In fact, I'm probably a buck fifty soaking wet, and I've got a glass jaw. I'm just here to have a good time, man. Other folks get their deep pockets turned out at casinos and give up rocket launchers, miniguns, assault carbines. Me? I get out of trouble with my mouth. You can't help but like me, or at least laugh me off as not a credible threat. Look man, that's okay too. With 10 luck and 10 charisma, who needs to even have strength of four? gently caress, let Raul tuck a gat. Let Veronica bust her knuckles. Gotta keep my hands soft to count caps, baby. But sometimes poo poo does go sideways in the Mojave. Sometimes you can't just be a suave motherfucker and make it rain at Gomorrah. Sometimes, somebody's got it out for you. And that's about when you find out just how much damage you can do with pistols only, hand loads, and more drugs than Hunter Thompson takes. Guess how much fixer I keep in my inventory? None, motherfuckers. Fixer is for quitters. Do ballers who loft their bed on gold ingots take Fixer? No they do not. Also I never had sex with Fisto or Beatrix seven times. Never no sir.

If you guys take clean pictures of your character with the HUD disabled, I'll put it up in the OP along with a link to your post telling your character's story. This is highly subjectable and limited though since I don't want to flood it with images. EDIT: Here is my friend's character, Tom of the Mojave  I don't have a backstory on him yet. But gosh, who needs one  My character is a tourist to Vegas named Fordon Greedman. He loves taking long walks and helps his grandmother out of the house to visit old Sarsaparilla factories for post-card grade photos.

Cervixalot posted:Are there any 'don't miss' sidequests or areas I should hit up in an NCR - good karma playthrough? It's nitpicky but by the time I finished playing, the NPR seemed like huge dicks. Still though, compared to running with Legion, they're alright. But but NPR doesn't play around. Even though its kidna know, it just surprised me in a sense. They were kinda alright to begin with. I think next run, i'll do the lone wolf approach. ^^^^ Kudos to you for showing this thread the glory that is Lily.

I'm excited to see this new thread pop up! I just picked up New Vegas for the first time and started playing it about a week ago. I looked around for suggestions but couldn't find any one recommending what order to play the DLC in, or whether there are any great lulls in the main story where heading off on a DLC quest would fit in nicely. I know the DLC have level recommendations, but I'm less concerned about that, and more concerned about how their stories fit together and where they best plug into the main game. Right now I'm level 10 and just finished up everything there is to do in Novaac, about to continue pursuing the man in the checkered jacket.

Mr Fahrenheit posted:If you haven't found a workaround for it yet, what I had to do was go to the Steam folder where it is installed, and set the FalloutNVLauncer.exe file to run in compatibility mode. Worked fine from then on. Hmmm, does this make Steam run in compatibility mode too? A post a bit before yours said that it does and makes Steam take a dump. Do you continue to launch it through Steam or make a shortcut to the Launcher and run it directly? I know I could just try it but I really don't want to screw my Steam installation.

To be honest, i'm really pumped about doing the Legion quests. I did the first part of 'Render Unto Caesar' for shits and giggles, and Caeser is loving Rawls from the Wire. I just HAVE to do quests for that gaping rear end in a top hat. I've gone far enough into the NCR's quests though where i'm gonna knock off the Legion quests until my next playthrough so I don't risk their good graces, i'm OCD about either going full good or full evil. Though I did murder a lot of NCR folks accidentally with the Helios 1

This is Bitey Jim. (That's a pile of Human Remains, Strange Meat and other... erm, parts.) Bitey Jim was a different man back when he was a courier but getting shot in the head does strange things to people. Sometimes it makes a man strange. Tearing people apart limb from limb with his bare hands, chopping them to pieces and doing an enormous amount of drugs along the way, Bitey Jim is now working for himself and is willing to watch the Mojave burn to get what he wants. The NCR currently hates him, the Legion thinks he's insane, most of the gangs want him dead, but Jim thinks they're all delicious. When there's no more killing to be done, he tilts back a few with Raul. Did I say a few? I meant a lot.  (Dat's a lotta booze!)

Dead Man Posting, good work on the OP and all, and I hate to be pedantic, but I was thinking it might benefit from some kind of general FAQ. The only reason I mention it is because questions like "Which are the best DLCs?" "What order should I do the DLCs in?" "Is there post-ending open-world gameplay?" "I've never played fallout before what stats are good and what skills HELP" and etc seemed to come up every few pages in the last one. Since the idea behind a new OP is to help new peeps, I figured it might help, sorry if I'm bein' a jerk

Dead Man Posting posted:Love this. Oh, boy. I have tons of screenshots you can use for the OP if you'd like. Not all of them are PCs, but I think they capture the spirit of the game nicely.     This last one, though, holds a special place in my heart. "The Pugilist" was a simple concept: Make a pugnacious little troll with an insatiable thirst for drink and a penchant for hitting things. His gimmick was choosing the rudest response in every set of dialogue options.

So I am curious, Do you ever actually See Mr.New Vegas? I wanted to do a play through on this game like I did in 3. I made my character look as close to threedog as I could. I then Killed him, put on his cloths, and stole his identity. All so I could save the wasteland as the man himself. Fighting the good fight.

crazkylo posted:So I am curious, Do you ever actually See Mr.New Vegas? I wanted to do a play through on this game like I did in 3. You never meet Mr. New Vegas, unfortunately. The wiki says he's an AI programmed by House to DJ his radio station, but I have no idea if that's accurate, as it never comes up in-game. I could never kill Three Dog because hearing him being increasingly outraged about my evil expoits was much funnier, especially when I would give a bunch of money to beggars, so it would always be something like "And now, a little bit more about our friend from Vault 101, the angelic saviour sent to save us all. Mr. 101 was seen selling a young boy into slavery recently..."

If you take the quest from the Followers of the Apocalypse to bug Mr. House's network but don't actually do the quest, after a while the questgiver will hunt you down. It turns out though that you're not even safe inside of the Presidential Suite so she'll straight up run into the Lucky 38, take the elevator to the top and HEY DID YOU DO IT YET? NO? OKAY BYE.

Lord Caesar I come bearing news of a most urgent nature! Just kidding! Imma eat your face now mmkay?  Odysseus journeyed the wastes taking poo poo from nobody and beating anyone who looked at him funny to death with his bare hands. Robots are made of metal. So after some minor corrective surgery and journeying to the far reaches of the Mojave and beyond, he decided to use someone else's hands instead. To remember the fallen, he places a bottle cap on each of their eyes. Unless he ate their eyes... or he can't find the head. That happens more often than you might think.
