I just love this game. I just completed the Sic Semper Tyrannis challenge by shooting Kimbal in the back of the head on top of the helipad and then jumped off the ledge to make my escape and broke my leg upon landing. The only thing I was missing was a derringer and it would have been perfect.

My favourite one of these occurrences to happen to me was when the Boomer Jack and the girl from the Crimson Caravan took it upon themselves to elope all the way over to the hills near Scorpion Gulch. I only found them because I had a quest objective to find him. Then there was an annoying one where that kid who has the C-finder vanished into the mountains north of Vegas never to be seen again.

The guy that sends a loving nuclear detonator in the post to a town built on top of hundreds of un-launched nukes is the guy I really want to track across the wasteland for a climatic showdown.

In two lines: Try to get at least 2 out of 3 stacks between 21 and 26 and not lower then your opponents corresponding stack. Face cards have wacky side side effects and have fun experimenting with them. And don't be lame by stacking your deck just randomize your deck before each game.

If you are trying to grind out the food achievement you just need a big stack of food and go to a lake or river and start to drown yourself. When you are about to run out of health pop back up and eat as much food as you think will get you over the limit. As the healing effects stack you will get credit for the healing value of all the food you have eaten which will be a multiple of all the damage you have actually healed. It shouldn't take more than five minutes to get the achievement this way.

Merry Magpie posted:I always attributed that to different people viewing Lanius through different lenses. I think it's interesting that both Caesar and Lanius seem to understand the need to create a myth about themselves in order to consolidate their power base. Caesar himself blatantly invokes and ancient old world great power that implies order and stability and even Lanius's origin of being a fierce warrior who single-handedly destroyed his own tribe for considering surrender and only pledging loyalty to Caesar after being captured and refusing to submit until Caesar made him a golden mask seems deliberately is clearly something that is influenced by mythology. Put in the context of Legion propaganda the disconnect between Lanius the legend and Lanius the reality makes a lot of sense. Add in the story of the Burned Man and the need for Caesar to create a legend that is much more fierce is readily apparent.

Random Stranger posted:I need to make sure I haven't screwed things up too badly. I'm pretty sure I'm okay but I'm not positive. Since I haven't been a big fan of the Legion so when I was summoned to Caesar's tent over the poker chip I went in, chatted, and then went Vandal on their asses. Obviously Legion quests are pretty much out of the question but I'm a bit worried that I may have screwed up more subtle things. Are there any gotchas I need to watch out for since I seem to have taken out these guys somewhat prematurely? No you are perfectly fine. You are absolutely not punished for exploring and reacting to the story whatever way you want to.

I think it's interesting to note that both the Legion and NCR are in a "Mexico will poison us" situation with regards to their respective expansions. If you talk to Lanius in particular he will mention that the legion will struggle to hold on to both the East and the West after conquering NCR. A view that differs a lot from Caesar's Hegelian Dialectics view that the society that arises after the conflict will be better than both societies and to me shoots a hole right into the safe trade routes argument. Meanwhile NCR are so blatantly manifest destiny that they fail to see the corruptions both in their own society (either from their military as represented by Moore or the commercial interests back west from the Brahman barons and the water caravans) and the corrupting influences that House is encouraging at Vegas (he doesn't want to chase them off as they are his best customers). The wiki link doesn't seem to deal with the above quote directly but basically Emerson was talking about the Mexican-American war where he likened the effort and outcomes of America conquering that territory to a man consuming poison to the point where it kills him. The poison ending up being the civil war.

Any suggestions on turning a profit or this idea in general? Mod the prices for them if you have the GECK. Also you should give yourself maximum radiation poisoning.

Kharmakazy posted:I have yet to try an explosives run... Mostly because while I usually am swimming in dynamite, I can never actually kill anything with it. I'm doing an explosives run now and it's just fantastic even though I keep blowing off my own limbs. There nothing quite like seeing a platoon of legion assassin's coming down the road towards you only for them to suddenly explode in a shower of fire from the home-made gas bomb you just happened to have dropped in their path. All followed up by a quick flurry of tin can grenades because they go with the hobo background I have for that character.

I don't think there is an real point to be made. The thing about the map was a bit nit-picky. Dude shows up in the Mojave as a blank slate and plays everyone against each other just like the Man with no Name. Everything else is just necessary exposition for the player. The beauty of the game is that you can play it off as a guy with amnesia or apply a history to the character. All of which can feed into the gimmick of your play through.

I already have Project Nevada, WMX, and Fellout, and a friend recommended EVE, so I'll grab that too. Any other recommendations that will improve my F:NV experience or add some cool things? Get the invisible wall remover mod. There are a bunch of otherwise climbable slopes that you can't climb due to invisible walls that were put there for console memory reasons.

I always run into that powder ganger hit squad in the foothills just outside Primm on the Bison Steve side of the town and I have definite memories of running into other squads. Eventually if you wipe out enough powder ganger hit squads they'll wise up and send a guy to say they are giving up on trying to kill you but strangely enough I haven't seen that happen on any of my recent playthroughs. Maybe they only spawn in that general region around NCRCF. Maybe some mod or patch had changed that or they give up if you wipe out their leadership at the prison?

Rape Jake. posted:In my latest run through I actually managed to get into NCRCF with a Powder Ganger suit (I killed Cobb), complete their quests up until you can turn on them including talking to the guard that let's you wander past their camps without being shot. I never saw the assassins at all. So maybe there's some truth to that. Yeah. It makes sense. On my previous full-run I took out that first squad and turned immediately around towards NCRCF and fire-bombed the poo poo out of everyone there. Of course like in every game of NV I've played I forgot to deal with the powder gangers at the Vault and I still get the Powder gangers are still active in the Mohave ending slides.

Pope Guilty posted:Is there some way to repair the Sheriff's Duster you find in Primm? I was wearing that for awhile but haven't found any other dusters, and Major Knight at the Mojave Outpost doesn't offer it on his Repair list. If you're on pc I'd really recommend trying out the signature armour mod so you can viably keep wearing that duster throughout the game as well as give it better durability and other stats through levelling it up. Also you can spawn a couple of matching dusters in the console as repair pieces to keep it repaired.

I already beat it with the NCR ending not knowing that I couldn't continue playing after beating the game, like you could in FO3. I'm going to do all the DLC and then try a couple different endings. What's the consensus best order for playing through the DLC? Chronological by release date? Release date is usual recommendation although Honest Hearts could be done at any point in the order really. Lonesome road is best saved for last since the story hooks in the DLC all lead up to that one.
