My brother got pissed off at Dead Money long before he could actually get to the gold. Collar's beeping in a cloud of death and a bear trap you couldn't possibly have known existed given the duress of the situation gets you. And then a forced stealth section with "go back to the start if caught" enforced by brutal death. Or so he claimed.

I got rid of all my Med-X to get Idolized by the Followers, and my only complaint with the Stealth Suit is that it is worse with Stimpaks than I am.

Stroth posted:What? Yes they do. The reason you could talk down The Master was because he didn't realize they couldn't reproduce. I'm pretty sure he would have already realized that if they were all Ken dolls. Yeah I found out I was bad at reading. It's me I'm the dum-dum.  Incidentally, does Demolition Expert affect .50 MG explosive rounds?

QUEEN CAUCUS posted:I actually had a big time on my machete-wielding crazy woman and her team of Lily Bowen and Rex. We descended on enemies in a whirlwind of melee chaos where we were all hitting, stabbing, and biting everything and sometimes each other. I was punch buddies with Veronica for a bit. Fisting the Wasteland! ...Wait...

OldMemes posted:I thought the implication with Loxley is that he was putting on the British accent, since it sounds so fake and silly. Apparently Tenpenny came over from Britian when he was younger...somehow. So I guess that there's someway to cross the ocean still? Somehow? I don't think all boats and knowledge of boats and how to make them and the concept of boats was completely obliterated in atomic fire.

Well since we're talking about currency, wasn't the main currency in Fallout 2 NCR bills? What inspired bringing back caps for New Vegas? Caps felt more Fallout-y? Engine limitations? Thematic of the Mojave's lack of unification? So pre-war buildings could have money as loot? Some combination of the above?

Count Chocula posted:How do the NCR and The Legion instantly know I'm working with Mr House after the Boomer quest? The game constantly tells me that I'm the only outsider allowed in Nellis and the only person allowed in the Lucky 38. You know the Strip is kind of heavily populated and people see you walking in there, right?

madeupfred posted:Welp, I did it. Got all the way to level 11 and got 400k caps in gold. Now to crawl to a town to trade all this garbage out. I think if you put it on a corpse it would be faster to carry the corpse than deal with being overencumbered. At least the walking animation is slightly faster.

Raygereio posted:Laser commander. This adds a flat 10% critical rate to each hit with a laser weapon. Gatling Lasers hit 30 times a second. Laser Commander turns them into a meat grinder for all but the heaviest-armored enemies, and that's assuming the numerous criticals don't plow through them anyway. Be sure to get Science high so you can make Max Charge ECPs.

CJacobs posted:Technically you're both Courier Six. He was supposed to be #6 first, and then you were given the job when he gave it up. If he had taken it, he'd be the game's protagonist instead of you, which probably would have been more awesome, but like twice as wordy. Only if I get his strangely gravelly voice, fetish for symbols, and his difficulty in using articles in sentences.

Falls Down Stairs posted:At least FNV attaches recommended-level warnings to most of the DLC stuff (did LR have one though? hmmm). Level 25+, it says. Doesn't stop you from poking in there at level 2 to grab some free stuff. Did you know that Arc Welders are made of money?

Reveilled posted:Yes, but of the three teddy bear missions, do you think the boomer one is likely to be the one that leaves you thinking "more justice is required"? But what if you say Mr. Teddy is dead? I should really set it up so that that's what pushes the Boomers into negative reputation, that telling a little girl her teddy bear died is what pushes the Boomers into unloading a few tons of explosive on a guy.

stratdax posted:I just bought this game a week ago and I'm not sure I "get" it. quote:I'm basically trying to do everything possible in one playthrough. You don't get it. While it's not bad to hold off pissing off major factions, eventually you'll have to commit. There are a few mutually exlcusive quests. In fact, you've already done one: Ghost Town Gunfight is the opposite of Run Goodsprings Run, where you help the Powder Gangers take over the town. And by saving the town you've cut yourself off from Powder Gangers quests. stratdax posted:As I understand it SPECIAL basically affects your starting points in the skills, right? Aside from obvious stuff like hit points. Each SPECIAL stat has an effect besides skills. Strength affects carrying and melee damage. Perception determines how close you need to be an NPC for a mark on the compass to appear. Endurance affects HP growth, base radiation/poison resistance, and implants. Charisma gives combat bonuses to companions. Intelligence is a half a skill point each level per INT. Agility gives 3 AP each. Luck is your base % critical rate and determines how well you gamble. All tagging is is just a 15 point boost to a skill at the start. It's so your key skills start good, else your Guns character with maxed Agility and Luck has only a piddly 25 in Guns. In Fallout 1 and 2 it also doubled the rate it advanced, and it seems like its current incarnation feels like a holdover at times.
