Fallout: New Vegas is a 2010 first person RPG set 200 years after an apocalyptic nuclear war. It's known for its great writing and dozens of memorable characters. I'm going to try for a perfect ending - getting the best possible ending for every single character and faction in the game, barring obvious conflicts. I'll do it all on the highest difficulty, without dying or reloading any saves. If I make a mistake, I'll have to live with it. If I die, the LP is over. In order to survive the Mojave Desert and recruit all the companions, I'm going to design my character into a finely-tuned killing machine, and explain some of the best traits and perks in the game.

This is my first video LP so feel free to critique my editing. I'm trying to make this accessible for people who haven't played Fallout: New Vegas so I'll try to explain a little about the characters and factions involved. Each video is about 2 hours of gameplay edited into a 10-15 minute summary. I may decide to start streaming gameplay on Twitch if I can get it set up properly.

My save file on the Strip was corrupted but I had a recent autosave that worked. I did the gameplay for Part 2 but it crashed near the end on the Strip and the autosave is corrupted. Hopefully I can salvage it.

Edit: Rebooting and loading the autosave fixed it.

Huh. I'd have thought that with an ironman pro-strats run you would have used Many a True Nerd's "get every possible drop of xp at Goodsprings before modifying your character as you leave" advice.

The main benefit of that is taking advantage of a bug that lets you reroll the Skilled perk for a stats boost, and I'm trying to do this run glitchless, besides the inevitable crashes.

-7 Luck gives the player a slight edge so that you can slowly build a profit over time but need to play quite well to do so (this is probably the closest to actual reality)

In a real casino, the house has a slight edge on an average hand. But when the dealer has been dealing mostly low cards so the average card left in the deck is higher, the player gains a slight edge. That's why it's possible to count cards and beat the house edge - a player can count cards, and bet 50 times more chips when the deck is full of tens and aces to beat the house edge. They could have made it so higher luck makes the deck contain higher cards, but they probably just programmed it to nudge probability in your favour.

Here's Part 3!

I'd love to hear more feedback! Let me know if you want to see more of any particular content, like gunfights, game mechanics talk, or stories from the making of the game.

Sorry don't mean to be super negative but it feels like you need to take this to the LP Sandcastle and get some feedback and maybe tweak some things.

This is great constructive criticism. I'll keep more of a focus on each character's story and jump around less. In the next video, I'll be focussing on Cass and Veronica.

Thanks for the feedback, from now on my videos will be more focused on one or two characters' stories. In this update, I earn Cassidy's trust, and help Veronica find the lost Brotherhood of Steel patrols.

I'm back! I had recorded a bunch of gameplay to make videos, then I got frustrated with mic issues, then I recorded more gameplay and realized I'd recorded all the videos in low quality. Now I'm trying again to heal the Mojave Wasteland, and I've already screwed up so I'll have to deviate from my planned route!

Saxon Hale Voice: Every update, a companion will die!

Gonna need to be installing extra companion mods at this point. ;-P

It's true! I really need to stop killing companions, which is why this video features no companions at all.

This week's update! I'm enjoying this challenge, although it's so far proving to be much harder than even doing a similar one in Fallout 4.

Survival Cowboy build? Aim for playing through Honest Hearts as soon as possible?

I like this idea! Unfortunately, the Cowboy weapons are all terrible, but there's also the Grunt perk that rewards you for using a particular class of weapons. And that would work very well with completing Honest Hearts near the beginning of the game, plus I wouldn't have to stress about getting my companions killed at the beginning of the game.

New update, new character! Courtney is going straight to Honest Hearts as quickly as possible - it's the only DLC without a recommended minimum level to complete it.

Here's the first half of Honest Hearts. I'm really leaning into the NCR Grunt playstyle, with three guns that count towards that perk.

Today's update! I've successfully completed a companion's story without loving up and getting her killed, and I'm starting to have an impact on the politics of the Mojave.

New update! It turns out the New Vegas wiki needs to be updated - it's not possible to get Arcade's story to trigger without progressing the main plotline, no matter how hard you try to earn his trust. So, here's a rare glimpse of the main characters! And to make up for no update last week, I'll make a short video tomorrow about where to find three of the best weapons that are available at level 1.
