I forgot about Crimson Caravans' secret deal with the Van Graafs. McLafferty just straight up has a bunch of caravaneers murdered. I don't think I've ever resolved this plot line before.

The noises in Vault 22 (the plant vault) are really unnerving. I forgot about that unintelligible radio voice that sounds like it's coming through the vents, and when I heard it for the first time this playthrough all my fine hairs went up.

... the Legion just happening to have set up camp directly on top of a factory of sophisticated Killbots are probably the weakest aspects of New Vegas's story imo. Unless there's an explanation for the latter part but I don't remember there being one.

Caesar knows the hatch has something to do with the Lucky 38; he knows Mr. House is desperate to get the Platinum Chip; he knows the Chip and the hatch share a sigil. I don't think the game says as much, but I just assumed that Legion scouts found the hatch at some point, and when Caesar put two and two together he decided to move his entire army on top of the hatch to prevent Mr. House from accessing it. It could be dumb coincidence, too. The camp is probably meant to be a lot bigger than it seems in-game due to engine limitations.

Also, part of his power over the legion stems from the low tech tactics & methods he taught them. He doesn't want any of his men getting exposed to high technology & losing their reason for revering Caesar.

He did seem to want to buy some laser weapons, though; the Van Graffs were gonna sell him some stuff until the NCR showed up.

now I'm imagining this guy proudly going around using his newly learned phrase for about a week until someone pulls him aside--

"gay? I'm not loving gay! I'm a confirmed bachelor!"

the real problem with this image is that whoever made it assumes house is lying, when he is the only faction leader in the game who both tells you the truth the entire time and treats you with anything approaching respect

not really, but i'd put lonesome road last, as all the other dlcs reference its characters. owb references dead money's characters, but i'm not sure whether the references are more rewarding as foresight or hindsight. honest hearts could be done whenever.

i personally find dead money to be the most tedious since it takes all your equipment before you begin and makes you rough it, so i usually get it done first. owb has the best character perks/rewards, though.

dead money is really tedious and ugly and i understand that it's supposed to be an oppressive environment (often a justification for ugly) but until you get into the casino it's all one lovely blur

holograms are also really weird although the holorifle is sicknasty

this game always finds ways to surprise me, whether it's charming bugginess, chance, or straight up just poo poo i haven't seen before

I started today's session on the strip, and seconds after I loaded in, a brahmin ran past me down the strip being chased by an NCR soldier

later on I was doing the black mountain thing, and I snuck up on a super mutant -- and out of nowhere a deathclaw two-shots me. this was at the top of black mountain, too. I had no idea there were any deathclaws up there

Always assume all things are intended, because buggy games are funner that way. Try to interpret what's going on as if it was intended.

you can bicker about whats the best way to play ( i like hh first) but release order is at least pretty good. the only cardinal rule is lr last, preferably right before the endgame
