Obama was never president in the Fallout timeline because Star Trek didn't exist.

Star Trek existed but it was the Terran Empire time line not the Federation one.

Another cool example of reactive gameplay: If Veronica decides to leave the BoS, she won't come inside the bunker with you.

Today he's got an hour long chat with Leonard Boyarsky that I'm going to get stuck into as soon as I have an hour spare: Tim is like the most wholesome person in the industry - thanks for pointing to his channel. These are great!

Is there a fix for the game closing to black screen? I had it on my last install and now running the TOTW pack its come back. There is a pseudo fix by alt+tabbing which allows me to winkey+tab and then task manager. But its a pain. Have tried a few mod addons for NVSE that supposedly fix it, but still happens.

I watched a friend play New Vegas for the first time and I noticed that she spends much less time in the inventory than I do. I'm used to carrying around half a dozen weapons for any situation, and opening the aid inventory to take all the chems and healing items I have whenever a fight looks tough. Instead, I've started a playthrough with a personal rule to only use the Pipboy when I'm indoors and out of combat. The game is more enjoyable and a lot more challenging this way. Running out of Stimpaks is an actual concern. With this character, I collected 50 Star bottlecaps and picked up Pew Pew at level 6, which shot me all the way to level 8. There are a lot of those bottlecaps if you know where to look. I never even saw Malcolm Holmes - maybe he simply never spawned, or maybe I was too fast for him to catch up to me. In any case, I have this gun, and it's a great weapon except for how quickly it burns through ammo. It uses five energy cells per shot, and even with Vigilant Recycler, I only get one of them back each time.

I only ever really use one gun I like and some grenades, maybe a backup heavy weapon for scary stuff, and usually forget consumables unless it's for a skill check or healing

I tried doing a realistic playthrough where I carried a rifle, pistol and 30 lbs max of stuff but never finished it I’m sure it’s doable, just gotta go home a lot and plan for the next day

Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of Fallout 4 Survival Mode. Sadly FNV is just this way, it's never too challenging and even when it is most of the tools are not that useful. You can switch weapons and ammo for marginal improvements against a specific enemy, or you can shoot them couple more times.

ilitarist posted:Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of Fallout 4 Survival Mode. The challenging part of Fallout 4's Survival Mode is getting killed instantly by explosives. In New Vegas, nothing can kill you instantly except a Deathclaw or a trap. In any game where the player has healing items and the ability to retreat from combat, a cautious player is very difficult to kill.

Where does everyone setup home base for ? I like using a motel room at Novac

Novac at first, then usually the Lucky 38 since it's easy to swap out companions and it has a workbench etc after a cheap upgrade

I use Goodsprings/the dumpster outside of Chet's. Only thing it's missing is a convenient campfire.

It's in a convenient location, has a decent vendor, and the sketchiest doctor in the Wasteland. The room's containers make sense, too. Safe, wardrobe, footlocker, and fridge. I don't spend much time around the safehouses, Victor's shack is a bit out of the way, and console load times make the Lucky 38 a PITA.

I think the negative about Novac is that the crafting benches are a bit of a walk from the motel room and there isn't a campfire. Naturally when I got the game on PC the first thing I did was install a mod that added all types of crafting stations to the motel room itself

Novac to start with and then move everything straight into The Sink once I get to OWB. The motel room really is fine but once you get The Sink it's got everything you need and then some, especially the virtually unlimited stimpacks from the bio research stationPaper Tiger posted:Big fan of that doctor, and their special doctor secret: The secret "not enough money" dialogues are the best thing in the game. Virtually nobody has less than 50 caps less than 15 minutes into the game so they're almost impossible to come by. The best one is if you're low intelligence and broke you can hire Dazzle the prostitute, underpay her, and when she complains to you the next time you talk to you, you can either apologize that you "don't count so good" or laugh that she's even dumber than you are. Or just stare at her vapidly. Youremother fucked around with this message at 21:21 on Jun 3, 2023 |

I still rock Lombard Station every playthrough. None of the other ingame or modded homes have the same level of convinence, compactness, and chill vibes. Back in the day I always used the penthouse even though it was inconvenient as poo poo

I really wish there were a modern version of the lucky 38 mod that added all the sink AIs into it. They have pretty unique functionalities and almost never show up in player homes so you end up still using the sink as a secondary home otherwise

I would arguing beating to death the person who hired you in the first place with a golf club, still makes you a bad one. Courier companies tend to look down on that.
