sitchelin posted:I found this hilarious. I picked up an unmarked quest at McCarran to recover a soldier's body from Fiends who have been using it to draw out NCR soldiers so they can snipe them. I killed the Fiends, then had to drag the body north to a small outpost so NCR can recover it. Then suddenly Legion Assassins out of nowhere, they just completely massacre all the NCR guys there. I still got completion for it. I guess NCR will just have a few extra corpses to recover. This happened to me as well. Then later in the same playthrough it happened again.

I've only ever used the MF Hyperbreeder Alpha, so I don't know if what I experienced applies to the other recharger weapons and I've never given a recharger weapon to a compa anyway. But the MFHA starts at 0 ammo and counts up, so comps look at it, see 0 ammo and don't use it.

I had an absolute blast with my pacifist run. I took a whole bunch of perks I'd never bother with otherwise and got to enact some really creative solutions to the kill quests.

Internet Kraken posted:Dean might be a total bastard too but Sinclair is an rear end in a top hat as well once you read more of the Dead Money backstory and realize he was building one big trap. Basically, every person in New Vegas is awful and there is only one thing you can trust; robots. Primm Slim stops the Legion is my canon ending.

Wolfsheim posted:You can actually turn this around pretty well though, with the recipe to make your own satchel charges (which is just loaded into the workbench, not something you have to find) using common materials and having a ridiculously low explosives requirement for how deadly they are. Makes dealing with all the marked men, deathclaws and tunnelers a little easier, anyway. I've tried, but they either get avoided because enemies just magic-path around them, I can't get them set in time or they just don't do enough damage to be worth it.

Wolfsheim posted:I don't think you actually can blow up Hoover Dam, though? Outside of the secret evil ending to Dead Money, but that hardly counts. If you're going the Yes Man route and you blow up the Securitron Vault, he'll suggest you blow up the Dam and make it inoperable so the NCR will lose any interest in expanding to the region.

Pacifist Run is amazing. You'll use so many perks you never bothered with before and come up with new and inventive ways to complete quests no sane being would comprehend.

ED-E tends to bug out and randomly get his upgraded blaster anyway, so if you get the armor upgrade you can have both at once.

FreudianSlippers posted:Gaining strength through struggle is a pretty integral part of fascism. So when Caesar dies and the Legion collapses into chaos as everyone and their dog fights for power that is actually a good thing because whoever comes out on top must be the best candidate for leadership. I wish I could find the source (or even any online evidence) of that story I heard of the luftwaffe raiding one of the army's trains.

ilitarist posted:All those talented people acting as a single are great (except Danny Trejo) but the problem with New Vegas is that you have like 10 people doing voices for the rest of the world. Bethesda had the same problem up until Fallout 4. Skyrim cast was much bigger than Fallout 3/NV but you still heard a lot of the same people a lot. And as we've just discussed recently in this thread, it's not the same as in something like Witcher 3 where you talk to a lot of cloned peasants and soldiers; FNV gives name and personality to every character you talk to and it's very irritating when NCR ranger is obviously the same person as sleazy con-artist you've just talked to.

There's some sort of weird bot thing going on with lists this lazy and stupid. I saw one for a different game about "Top Ten Strongest Weapons" that had an actual non-equipable enemy-only "weapon" and a healing spell as number 1.

Morrowind is the game I started out being eaten by a mudcrap and ended up being so fast I phased through walls and so strong I had to only use throwing weapons because I would shatter my weapons if I ever actually swung them.

House has outright abandoned communicating with anyone which is why all three casinos are betraying him and the NCR is too.
