Tubgirl Cosplay posted:The Paladin Toaster is pretty hilarious in that fight too Besides it's crazy ammo usage, the pulse gun is the best against the BoS. 1 shot and anyone in power armor is going down. I'm also liking the new traits that Lonesome Road added, taking Skilled and Good Natured with an already high intelligence puts a few of your skills over 50 right away, and most of them over 25.

I've started a new character now that I've got all the dlc maps + gun runners arsenal; doing my first hardcore playthrough, and I'm 2 str, 3 end, 6 per, 4 cha, 8 int, 7 agi, and 10 luck taking skilled and good natured, and focusing on maxing skills quickly. With such low str guns seem like they might be a problem, what should I focus on using? I'm thinking of using Boone/Veronica for support and pursuing power armor fairly quickly, and the luck should help with money (more so before they changed the gambling odds  )Also besides repairing/selling items what's a good way to make money?

So I ended my first hardcore explosives/melee/unarmed run after finishing all the dlc, and charging Hoover Dam (still using Pushy too), and decided to try my first energy weapons/sneak build. So far it's mega-easy. A few new things I never came across in other playthroughs: Old lady Gibson's unique Sawed-off, heading back to the Vikki & Vance long after saving Primm and encountering the NCR deserters, and finding out accidentally that if you save inside the silver rush, then steal everything while anyone can see you (so the Van Graffs go hostile), and reload your save prior to thefting stuff, all the weapons you nabbed (which are now back on the shelves) are at max condition.

robot roll call posted:Is there a good place to get Turbo? I think I need to cheese the hell out of this. Or 5 magazines so I can pick the train tunnel lock. As other posters have said, hug the left cliff wall. I've done this every time and even on hard difficulty on hardcore at lvl 4 or 5 never even been crippled. Best way to do it I've found is to stop moving when shelling starts, and crouch up against the cliff. You should only have to stop twice: once before you pass the ruined houses (near a car wreck, careful it can explode), and once just past the houses (make sure the cliff is between you and the base). If you have high agility you can even skip the second hiding spot - they might get 1 shot off at you from the second volley before you're close enough that they stop firing.

Geomancing posted:I bought a silenced .22 pistol from Chet in Goodsprings on my latest playthrough and decided to test it out by going to do 'I Fought The Law' from the Powder Gangers in the NCR prison. Turns out that it doesn't matter if you shoot a guy in the head while he's in view of his buddies, just as long as they don't see YOU. You bought it? He has one sitting in the glass case, just steal the fucker. Also that kind of situation is much funnier with an unnarmed/melee approach as those weapons are considered silent. This is how I always deal with vault 3: 'Sure, I'm a Khan with drugs or something', *punches everyone to dead from behind with a powerfist* You can even use the person you're about to kill as cover to hide behind!

If you take out motor-runner first you can hear some of the fiends talking about how "Someone is out to get us!  " Which is pretty funny.Enjoying my energy weapons build although the YCS-138 is overpowered as hell. Made Black Mountain trivially easy, so I'm thinking about strolling through Quarry Junction (think that's the name). Also: I never realized that at the BOS store you could just steal the key off've what's-her-name behind the counter, get in there, and loot like 15k worth of caps in power-armor.

I finally got around to grabbing the signature armor/weapon mods and now I'm faced with the wracking indecision of what weapon to choose. I've started a new guns build for it, and I'm thinking along the lines of a shotgun. However I'm also going for a sneak build which might be favored more by a scoped or silenced gun (and further, there are only 2 unique shotguns in the game - and dinnerbell is out of my reach at a low level). Any thoughts on what to go with?

I've once again finished HH, this time with the signature weapon/armor mod, switched my sig armor over to Joshua Graham's armor (because you don't see enough denim in the wastes these days). While in HH I had my signature weapon set to the .45 auto pistol but it seems like the bonuses don't carry over to A light Shining in Darkness (I get the 'You are no longer wielding your signature weapon' popup whenever I equip it instead of the plain old .45); I remember reading that you could use a non-unique variant of a weapon and the mods would carry over to a unique one - does it simply not work with ALSID?

Francois Kofko posted:I'm about a half hour into lonesome road and this is pretty much the best DLC so far After rocking all the dlc's a few times now I actually prefer HH to the others (with OWB as a close second due to all the hilarious sexual innuendo). Something about the atmosphere in Zion is awesome. It would have been nice to have a few more non-cave interiors, sure, and maybe a couple more distinct npc's to interact with, but I think Obsidian struck a pretty good balance between kicking-rad exploration (getting all those viewpoints with Follows-Chalk is awesome) combat, and side-quests without any of them overstaying their welcome. And yeah, Joshua Graham is great, although on my 3rd playthrough I must have gotten over the kickass voice-acting and actually listened to some of the crazy poo poo he was saying because I didn't quite agree with him by the end. Also: Chaos in Zion!

rope kid posted:I'm not positive, but what should happen following an NCR/BoS alliance is a confrontation between BoS Paladins and Col. Moore regarding NCR Heavy Troopers' use of salvaged power armor. The Paladins essentially tell Moore to have the Heavy Troopers take that poo poo off immediately and hand it over. The player, naturally, has to moderate the outcome.. If that never happens, the ending slides still say that NCR hands over its suits of salvaged power armor to the BoS. Yeah, I've mediated the BoS NCR things quite a few times and never had that discussion, but that paladin is ALWAYS there with Moore afterwards. My ending slides of those NCR runs with the BoS still in the picture never mention power armor at all. Also: I tried putting on BoS powerarmor after getting them to join as allies and the NCR tried to kill me

Improbable Lobster posted:Mass Effect is pretty much antithesis to Fallout. Mass Effect has it's place, but a Fallout game doesn't need the ME style. While ME3 shat the bed bigtime, I've replayed ME2 a hell of a lot of times, and F:NV an equal or greater amount. Bioware does (or used to do) great storytelling, but so does Obsidian. I guess this is jut a too long 'I agree' type post. Leave the ME type games where they belong, Fallout is better as it's own entity.

I loved both Honest Hearts and Dead Money. I'm having to stop myself on my current playthrough from rushing into them, I like having as many skills and attributes as high as possible for the DLC so I can get all the conversation options. What I thought HH did right was the environmental design and set pieces. Zion was a hell of a lot of fun to just walk around and marvel at, and very little of it felt unplanned or arbitrary. However HH is somewhat anaemic in terms of npc content I thought - there are just too few people to interact with. The story is top-notch though; someone noted way way earlier in the thread that HH was the only story that really involved creating something new rather than solely trying to recreate the old world, and that rang true with me. DM seemed to have the opposite problems to HH; I found exploring it my first time around to be confusing to the point of frustrating, and subsequent runs just came across as a slog. But there's a hell of a lot more interaction, and what's there is fantastic.

isndl posted:I've been doing a hardcore no fast-travel run, and I eventually got tired of it in the late-game quests. Early to mid-game you can queue things up and finish them in chunks by area so it works OK, but the later quests tend to have you running all over the drat place just to talk to someone. Interesting, thank you (and thanks to everyone else as well); I'm probably going to try it out, as hardcore is pointless with excessive fast-travelling (food/water are piss-easy to get this way). Also after so many playthroughs it feels like I'm playing around in some kind of bizzarre excell spreadsheet. As for a character I'm thinking something like a tribal that for some reason loves energy weapons (how this excuses magic teleportation I don't know, but I'm gonna run with it).

Bilal posted:The only reason I play with Hardcore mode on is so that ammunition has weight. Otherwise, you'd have effectively unlimited ammo. Hunger and thirst in NV is just so inconsequential. And sleep deprivation? Never once, not in the entire 280 hours I've put into NV, have I ever, ever, ever, had the sleep meter go above like 100. I don't know if that's a bug or what. I barely even sleep in game. I found Project Nevada really kicked up the hunger/thirst/sleep rates well, to the point where not having fast-travel would make them somewhat of an actual burden (other than making you find a bed once every 3 days). I'm pretty sure the rates are even adjustable if you want them to be really brutal. And yeah, I've got increased spawns already, so that should make it less of a ghost desert after a couple trips. Additionally, Project Reality's rad-storms are kickass; I had no idea what I was in for when that first set of air-raid sirens went off.
