Wade Wilson posted:I'm apparently the most evil bastard in the world, regulators are after me and no name NPCs flee in terror when I show up, whether I start shooting or not. You locked yourself out of Jericho (the former raider) by blowing up Megaton, so your options are Dogmeat, Charon, and Clover. You can buy Clover in Paradise Falls for 1000 caps or 500 with a barter check, and Charon can be bought from the bar owner in Underground, you have to wack some other bitch to get him to sell. Of course you could use the karma reset perks if you felt like you wanted some other options, since you said you have the DLC.

Speaking of lowering the difficulty, I've been playing my new character on Hard and I recruited Boone. Holy gently caress I feel like I hardly get to shoot anything (which is fine because I'm mostly doing speech and repair with some guns) because he is some kind of murder machine. I almost feel like bumping it up to Very Hard but I am afraid the game will send something ridiculous my way in my hubris.

Man, Veronica's quest is a really interesting character moment. I let her make her own decision, and she stays with the Brotherhood, even though she was pissed at them for not wanting to change. I kinda wanted her to go the other way, should've been more assertive. But It's an "anything goes" run where I'm not reloading unless I straight up die, and I've already lost ED-E and Boone. Hell of a quest getting up to that point. I had already rifled through the Boomers' stuff and found a key which pointed to Vault 34, and I was planning a trip out there anyway. Turns out that was one of the angles you could take so I went with it and holy gently caress was that poo poo hard Ran out of Rad-Away and wasn't sure how much deeper I had to go so I backtracked back out (also I had a couple of limbs crippled and was out of Doctor Bags and Hydra, oh and shotgun sheels, loving ghouls) to go find more poo poo. Went back in and it took like two more minutes to find what I needed.

eating only apples posted:I think everyone who's ever played that game had the exact same experience It's leaking gas, I think, not tanks, and it's pretty convenient 'cause you're really low-level when you get there and see like six ghouls and think "ohhhh poo poo", then they all die a fiery death. If this is the part I'm thinking of, this blows my mind. I always laid out a series of frag mines and then unlocked the door and ran to the lower hallway. Never had to deal with more than one or two left that way, had no idea you could blow those tanks

Anyone ever do a theme character that you do something specific on and not necessarily finish the game? Decided to grab the Courier That Broke the Bank achievement, and wanted to do it in a fun way. Made a new character with 10 Luck, who decided "Wow I got shot in the loving head and lived, I must be the luckiest motherfucker in the world, I'm gonna go gamble!" and ran straight to the Strip. I had almost no caps for the credit check, so I made enough at the Atomic Wrangler to get in (and also get banned) so I bought out the liquor and left. Went to the Strip drunk as gently caress, ignored the robot insisting I go talk to a house or whatever, and went into the Tops to waste my caps. And who do I see but that son of a bitch who shot me?! I bullshit Mr. Swank and get Benny alone, cap him in the head. I took his suit and wore it as I proceeded to get wild and spill drinks all over the Strip, banging hookers at Gomorrah, getting comped hella food and rooms, and pissing off floor bosses with the most amazing streak since the last Manchester United game. This loving Game

I liked Yes Man's line if you tell him to ignore the Brotherhood of Steel. (paraphrasing slightly) "Oh, well if you say they're all right then I'll just go ahead and delete the data I had on them! Yep, all that data that said they would probably be one of our toughest enemies, forgotten!"

Upmarket Mango posted:I think my favourite way of killing him is sleeping with him as a female courier. He's absolutely dumbfounded why you would want to do such a thing, and he's totally turned on by it. Holy poo poo you can do that? As I'm saying this, I'm remembering that the female courier I did had Cherchez La Femme and not Black Widow, which is probably why I didn't know that.

If you're trying to say blasting the radio when that Butcher Pete song was on and going upside some ghoul's head with a cleaver is a bad thing, I'm going to try to say you have poor taste in music and other things, and your entire decision making process may be suspect as well.

I decided to do an explosives character, a first because I hate having to scrounge for more grenades and dynamite and resorting back to guns because there seem to be more enemies than explosives. I am doing this because I got GRA and some other DLC, and I picked up the Mad Bomber perk, thinking to myself "it better be worth it to take a whole perk for this." Took the perk, went to the workbench to look at recipes. You can turn a mere three microfusion cells into a grenade I would say that's worth it. Went to repconn and looted a bunch of dead Bright Follower ghouls, got enough for almost a hundred grenades. Proceeded to go to the desert area just north of there to chuck radioactive grenades at ants. Then I got attacked by a Legion assassin squad because I felt like seeing what would happen if I killed Vulpes at Nipton (turns out THAT so far). So I whipped out my Courier's Stash grenade rifle and blew them away too Never thought I'd have this much fun crippling myself all the time.

RandolphCarter posted:Try making the MFC Clusters, they're loving amazing. I did as you suggested, and decided their inaugural usage should be against Benny. Talked Swank into giving my poo poo back, but didn't have him send Benny to his room. I didn't even get into talking range of Benny, I went to the balcony above and lobbed my new toy. I don't think I have to describe what happened next, and I'm not sure I can describe the joy the lifted my heart

Defiance Industries posted:Wouldn't the Securitrons take out anybody who tried to get in the Lucky 38 without authorization though? Just cause its open to YOU, doesn't mean anyone can just come and go. That's why the place stays empty. That chick who tries to get you to bug House's network managed to follow me inside somehow, I guess I was managing to move fast enough to outpace her (wasn't trying to, I just didn't realize she was trying to get my attention) I got into the casino, loading screen, suddenly I find myself turning around to talk to her. After the conversation she just stood there in front of the door, with both of the Securitrons looking right at her, and her at them. I'm not trying to say you're wrong, just pointing out this bizarre AI bug I had.

Pound_Coin posted:How do you not kill them though? they have no issues with murdering me You pretty much have to have a stealth boy, pretty sure you would need one to sneak up to Harland's platform and check the computer for the note regarding the shipment being gone. He goes hostile if you go up there before checking for his friend, and there doesn't seem to be a way to look for her without killing the jailer. You have to go through a key only door to find her, and even with a stealth boy I wasn't able to pickpocket the jailer. Unless there's some trick to that I'm missing. I usually just whack Harland for his sweet gun on gun characters though, or I kill Davison for a bumper sword on melee characters.

With a few stealth boys and a good sense of direction you can pass by all the nightkin without any problems. I didn't know there was a spare key! Harland's still going to eat it this playthrough though

Wolfsheim posted:I've never tried it because it needs Veronica, and even after 8+ playthroughs I'm a roleplaying nerd and the idea that anyone could tolerate being around Veronica for more than two seconds is absolutely immersion-breaking. I like Veronica Her quest is genuinely interesting and she gets you into the Brotherhood bunker without the bomb collar nonsense. Plus the squeak she makes when you give her a nice dress is cute.

I'm torn. I kind of want to strangle the person who designed Dead Money with their own intestines, but it is pretty cool to walk around buying every stimpak in the Mojave peeling off layers of pre war money from the absolutely fat stack I'm carrying around.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who engages in needless corpse dragging. When I get attacked in Freeside I always drag the body to one of the flaming barrels. Should get me extra Followers rep honestly, burning corpses is one of the first rules of plague control. I'm performing a service, dammit!

The real use for the Sunset Star cap dude is an early 10 barter skill delivery system. Once I figured out you can nab a couple of star caps without getting too far from Goodsprings, every playthrough since has had him showing up just before or after the Powder Gang fight (or sometimes during, with hilarious results) I don't think he's ever survived in my games, even the first time I ever played, he got his head shotgunned off because he had somehow managed to synch up with Victor outside Boulder City, and right after talking to Victor, before I had even started turning back around to head to Vegas he locked me into another conversation.
