Using pro sneak to pick up the grenades and reverse pickpocket them into all the really strong guys is hilarious, to me.

this is #1 use for pulse grenades

i've never leveled sneak on a character before, and i don't know that i'm ever going to play this again (at least not for a very long time). i'm only 29 now, so that gives me enough time to get sneak decently high if i want to on this char...

the SPECIAL stat system is really good and i thought about to possibly too much a minut eago

like i usually use charisma and perfecption as dump stats because i didn't know about Nerve and I used a lot of steady and I'm not sure what all i'm missing with that

inteligence can't be a dump stat because of how important skill points on but itd be cool to have like a savant skill that igves you way more skill points but negates any intelligence boosts you get

luck is the only thing i can't think of as a dump stat ever because having <3 luck would bloowwwwwwww since you'd never do non-sneak crits and everything would crit you

i like that obsidian gave you a lot of opportunities to retune you character with caps or with perks after the fact. although taking intense training always feels really boring to me, since there are so many cool perks that actually change how the game is played instead of unnoticeably by percentage increases


anyway, having replayed dead money, and advancing house's story a little bit, i never realized how close the fallout universe was to a sort of star trek matter replicator utopian future before the bombs fell. elijah actually has a perverted vision of this for his utopia founded on Sinclaire's tech, except instead of an american leftwing techn driven fantasy land (like star trek), it's his own worse amalgamation of House and Caesar.

There was supposed to be a way to convince House to spare the brotherhood but it was one of the things that got cut which sorta bummed me out.

I'm pretty sure I remember correctly that you can get the Brotherhood to play nice with the NCR.

using my high speech to convince them to head back to california would be nice. or trying to turn one of the acolytes against the elder. house does have a point: the brotherhood isn't going to respect the sovereignty of the nation he's trying to create.

I was supposed to go and do Honest Hearts after dealing with Benny to "lay low" but I accidentally let him go and just kinda forgot what I was doing and I've done a million vanilla quests instead.

I just sold every single buffout, psycho and jet I'd accumulated throughout the game to Motor Runner and got maybe 1200 caps...Drug dealing is a fail way to make money. Though I wonder if it would have been more lucrative to not take the pre war money from Dead Money and used all the chips to make drugs and sell them...

You did a super job wrapping things up! And I'm not just saying that because I have to!
I always do Honest Hearts after getting the platinum chip because I like the idea of my character being sent to get this colossally important item by House, everyone applauding at the first person to go into the Lucky 38, then murking Benny and getting a summons to go see Caesar, and being overwhelmed at all the sudden pressure and getting out of town for a few weeks.

That was my idea too, but I decided I was gonna clear up my companion quests first so I could take on fresh companions when I returned, but I did a million quests along the way.

Veronica going hogwild with the Paladin Toaster on her heavily armed Paladin brothers after they kill the Followers she tries to join ftw. Tehy were all in a little room and I just wheeled back and got ready to throw a pulse grenade in and she had already killed them all.

Is she able to use the greased lightning? i never got around to trying it and giving her elijah's last words + causeless rebel but if greased lightning doesn't break for companions she'd be attacking like a ripper

Honest Hearts is so drat deadly with no endurance since you get ambushed by giant cazadores...lucky I gave my Heisenberg 9 luck and he gets off giant crits with his little peashooter side arm. I have tons of mines because they're too hard to use now...cazadors don;t set them off and I just use grenades for everything else.

Just a thought - cazador is a Mexican name, like the Cartels that Walt fought. SO... how were the cartels defeated? Deadly poisoning. Just something you might want to consider.

There's a challenge for killing cazadores with time bombs. I think I'm gonna try doing that and see if I can do it without dying.
