Duct tape is still good loot in New Vegas as you can never have enough weapon repair kits.

Taking in account that Borous had Gabe since he was in high school, I'm assuming Gabe was pretty old when he got robotized, since getting enough doctorates to become one of the chief researchers of Big MT should take at least until your mid to late thirties

So cute and cuddly
On Wild Wasteland, that doghouse where Gabe lived also contains a good reason to not take the Wild Wasteland trait: Stripe - a miniature Deathclaw that is effectively two regular-sized deathclaws stapled together.

You should definitely take Wild Wasteland anyway, but just bear that in mind.

I really like Borous's voice work when you give him Gabe's bowl back. It's incredibly well done.

And the toaster is a thing of glory.

I admit, that's a bit of a goof on my part.

But Doctor 0 has only shown actual spite towards that one person, and that one person has a giant robot in the background of his picture, and Robert House is known to have made almost all the robots in the Fallout Universe; it isn't too much of a stretch that his face would be seen in the remnants and ruins of some of the buildings out in the wasteland, nor is it that a traveling courier such as Sun would have run across some knowledge about all this.

I had to look this up, doesn't look like the same actor or anything. Can't complain though, seeing the Brave Little Toaster image made me giggle, was worthy of a quality LP like this one.

Also there were apparently two more Brave Little Toaster movies. I had no idea, and wonder how I managed to miss them, the original was a staple of my youth.

I don't know about y'all, but The Brave Little Toaster movie was pretty horrifying at times when I watched it back when I was a little Chimp-Chick.

Just felt appropriate.

Technically the toaster did too. It's just that the wizard he dedicated his life to happened to practice technomancy, and thus he was reborn.

Doesn't animal friend affect Nightstalkers? I don't remember Sun's CHA but I'm guessing it's not high enough for that.

And I thought the rewards safe for the robot compliance test handed out a Chinese Spec Ops skill book at the end, too?

Just in case it isn't obvious, the k-9000 and its .44 variant (appearing later) were added to give gunners a way to use their stocks of ammo as the base game has no automatic weapons using .357 and .44 .

E: By the endgame almost all ammo types have a high-ish damage weapon to be used in.

AF does and Sun has the requirements for it, but she still has to learn how to befriend them (I'm not done getting the good perks, yet.)

Don't worry; she'll have her chance to get a dog friend...

As for the skill book, yes it does come as a reward for the final test. Forgot about that! I'll have it amended. Thanks!

Atomic-valence tri-radii-oscillator takes up the glasses slot on equipment so can be worn with certain other helmets/hats making it better than it appears. I ended up using it like that in one of my numerous runthroughs.

In most games I would agree, but the fact that New Vegas favors high DAM weapons over high DPS weapons really puts a dent in your argument.

With the right perks and the right ammo you can definitely have your snazzgun experience, just hoard GMG ammo for the hardened enemies.

Hrm. Well, the minimal to no commentary breaks the only fallout based YouTuber I care about, Many a True Nerd, who is known to have gone through all of New Vegas and the DLC in a single healthbar, with no healing of any kind beyond the increasing max HP per level. It is amazing, permadestb on steroids.

I actually watched his maxhp videos but when checking now I found he also has a more relaxed jsawyermod run, which is very much my thing.
