In Nipton keep in mind that about 5 Legion Soldiers walked in and executed 30+ townspeople and Powder Gangers. They only succeeded because the townspeople sat there, watching their friends/family/neighbours getting killed and waited for somebody to rescue them. Vulpes straight up says that he and his mean would have had no chance against all of them if they had resisted.

Is there a console command to strip all active effects from your character? I seem to have persistent stat modifiers that aren't being given by equipment or hunger etc

It's really not hard to avoid pissing off Dean at all, if you actually READ the skill checks they are obviously overly aggressive and confrontational.

FlyingCheese posted:The first skill check that pisses him off happens just after he tells you that you're sitting on a bomb. You have every right to be confrontational. gently caress Dean, it makes it all the more satisfying when you blow his head off later on. If you are going to antogonise a dude who tricked you into sitting on a bomb while you are already strapped to one which will kill you both if either of you die and you don't try to calm things down then you deserve what you get I think.

Dead Money is also the adventure where the antagonist mocks you for your over-reliance on the magic arrow on your Pip-Boy and has blindly following it not the best way to proceed, its a ~thing~ that typical ways to progress are challenged.

I've got some kind of glitch with my hardcore meters. I only get the Minor Dehydration/Hunger/Rads etc on the second notch on the meter so at about 400, which is where it should be at the Advanced Stage. Is this a common bug?

CheeseThief posted:The .45 auto pistol and "The Light Shining in the Darkness" have been a huge let down to me. I decided to do a gangster gimmick run, using only pistols that fit thematically and wearing only a grimy business suit buffed up the signature armour mod. I had been planning on using the .45 pistols since the start as they seemed like the perfect fit for my character but even with the grunt perk, +P rounds and the signature weapon mod so far I've found them to be frustratingly under powered. Before now I had been using Maria as a stand in and I'd swear it out performs Light. Use .45 Super and you will do a shitload more damage.

One thing that confuses me is about New Vegas itself and how fast/slow you are expected to take to go through everything. They make a big deal about needing 2000 caps for a credit check otherwise you will need a passport to get into the Strip but unless you ran straight to New Vegas after Doc Mitchell's house you should easily have that. You can probably pick it up while doing the quest to get a passport. Maybe it was going to be a higher requirement earlier on? Then you can do some stuff for the Garrets and they give you a room for free whenever you need it. Ok so you've got a base in Vegas now until you can get something better. You walk through the main Strip entrance and Victor gives you the Lucky 38 suite, the "best" home base straight away. Then when you go and confront Benny which is probably the very next thing you will do, you get the Tops penthouse suite. Is all this just for flavour or what?

Even if you decide that all the farming stuff is nonsense and doesn't matter in a game, Fallout 3 is so obviously just a series of "cool ideas" placed around the map without much thought put into having that make sense. Here's Nuke Town, here's Slaver Town, here's Treeville. Most of the settlements in New Vegas are in logical locations and they have relations to other locations, the people know and tell how how to get to other places in the world etc. Goodsprings is a small town (that was already there) built over an aquifer, the Khans live in Red Rock Canyon because its an isolated refuge, Mojave Outpost is the road NCR comes in through from the West. Caesar is encroaching from the East, preparing to cross the Colorado River. The bad guys in Fallout 3 come from a vault and also an underground base. Caesar's forces move inward from Cottonwood Cove (Nipton, Nelson, Searchlight) whereas the Super Mutants are in D.C. just because and the Enclave just drops down from the sky wherever you happen to be.

This fighting isn't what The King would want! He wanted a society for every man to feel free to follow his own path, do his own thing. Where every man is a king in his own right. Why can't we upload the King to House's mainframe Obsidian?

"Your negotiation skills assume you're bargaining from a position of strength"  and "Either deal with me as an equal, or I walk" seem like they are clearly not the best idea to keep a dude who made you sit on a bomb feeling friendly. Telling him to gently caress off when he complains about the Ghost People will attack him during the Gala Event also annoys him shockingly.

Keep in mind that with Dean you have the very specific goal of getting his help and not having him come to harm under any circumstances to avoid dying yourself. He immediately establishes himself as someone with control issues, challenging his authority is an incredibly idiotic thing to do.

The story and its themes in Honest Hearts is great but its more mellow and introspective than everything else so a lot of people don't like that because of the tonal difference.

The best thing is stealing a guards armor (leave the helmet obviously) without him noticing every time he calls you a thief or acts like a shithead. If you play for a decent amount of time eventually every city will be filled with oblivious guards walking around in their underwear.

Pope Guilty posted:Because he's a sanctimonious, patronizing rear end who's more interested in the Sorrows' moral purity and ability to make him feel good than in their ability to survive in an unspeakably harsh world. I don't know if I would agree with that exactly. He definitely patronises the Sorrows but he's doing that because he wants to protect them and what they represent rather than thinking they are in some sense inferior. He is also aware (as Joshua is) that his influence is problematic and too strong which is why they both defer to you when choices arise.

The problem people have with NCR isn't just some anti-tax thing, its that they are assholes. They roll up with a bunch of soldiers and tell people who've been dealing with the world on their own "you belong to us now." Look at Goodsprings, which is a town you are obviously supposed to sympathise with/care about/consider your home assuming you are playing a friendly good-natured character. If NCR wins the battle of Hoover Dam then a bunch of old people are basically forced out of their homes due to being unable to support themselves anymore under the heavy taxation that the NCR instituted on trade. That's extremely uncool.

Timeless Appeal posted:To be fair, one of the funnier aspects of the Kings is that they don't fully understand who Elvis was and haven't heard his music. They're strictly following the impersonation school's instructions for how to act like Elvis because they mistook it for a church. They didn't mistake it for a church, The King says he knows its a school but he calls it a church because the veneration and impersonation of Elvis was basically a form of worship.

Goodsprings is good because once you leave Doc's house you can just gently caress off and do whatever you want. You aren't forced to complete an hour of tutorials because you are trapped in a vault.
