Zilkin posted:You guys make this game sound so good, was thinking of waiting for GotY edition but now I don't know. Whats holding me back is that the game + all the DLCs cost like 70 euros on Steam. Is this game really worth that? The vanilla game is EASILY worth the $20 it costs on Steam right now. Buy it for that price, and then wait until Christmas for a deal on the DLC's. The base game will keep you busy for that long, probably.

I just finished Lonesome Road and got the House conversation/duster even though like the first thing I did in Vegas was pop the flavor seal on that mummy bastard and go fist bump Yes Man before beginning a campaign of terror against the NCR and Legion. Whatever, the House coat looks coolest anyway. U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! edit: also I went into VATS to shoot a Marked Man with a chainsaw, but when I saw his name I was compelled to switch to a ballistic fist and run at him shouting "BONESAW'S RRREADY!" lonesome road was worth the purchase, is what I'm saying Pharmaskittle fucked around with this message at 08:31 on Sep 28, 2011 |

Tewratomeh posted:To supplement this, if you happen to have Dead Money be sure to find the Weapon Repair Kit code and Return Cigarette Packs/Cartons codes for the vending machines, then scavenge any and all cigarette packs and cartons you find. You can get a ton of Weapon Repair Kits that way, since apparently everybody in Pre-War times smoked like a chimney. That reminds me: I always pick up cigarette packs and cartons because they seem to have a really good ratio of weight to value. Is there a better super common item to do this with, or are smokes about as good as it gets?

As well-intentioned as the Followers are, they very rarely actually get anything done. The Legion may crack a few eggs, but if you want to make an omelette that's what you need to do. yeah the legion isn't so bad if you're okay with rape camps and slavery, tbh

Wooph posted:What are everyone's experiences with shotguns? How do they compare with other weapon categories at end game? How do you deal with high DT targets? The stats on the wiki look a little underwhelming, but maybe I'm missing something here. the Shotgun Surgeon perk helps tremendously with high-DT enemies, but yeah you probably want to be carrying a second gun to deal with hard/long range targets anyway. I kept a Combat Shotgun with magnum shells in my inventory until the very end.

I just find enough food in nasty refrigerators to keep me going, and drinking from a water source zeroes out your h20 meter immediately so I just borrow peoples' sinks every time I go into a house even if I'm not getting a warning yet. Once you go through a few areas you'll see Bighorners and you can just blow their heads off for their meat that drops your food by 300 or something retarded, and then you should be set forever on carried food. ed: the bighorner thing is without Survival, so I guess you could probably get more out of them if you just don't have anything better to do with your skill points (you do) Pharmaskittle fucked around with this message at 17:11 on Oct 4, 2011 |

Star Guarded posted:Man, Courier's Mile was fun. Took every drug in the game, took off all of my armor, walked in with A Light in Shining Darkness and 300 hand load rounds. 10 Implant GRXes and 5 Turbos later, I'm surrounded by deathclaw corpses, my gun is broken, I'm out of ammo, I'm addicted to everything, and I don't even want any of the loot in the place. I don't understand what this Courier's Mile y'all keep talking about is. Is that a mod, or was it a part of Lonesome Road that I didn't go to or notice?

The one that went all Little Shop of Horrors turns me around at least once every time I have to go in it, just because of the doubling-back you have to do to get to objectives. Vault 21 and the Fiend Vault gave me some trouble because I get turned around by the big multi-level hub rooms for some stupid reason.

Just finished my very first Yes Man/Independent run. I wasn't super into it until I stopped giving a gently caress about anything and started shooting any sign of authority I saw, regardless of uniform, taking care of every problem in the most expedient way (usually 5 rounds of 5.56 son, time to die) Getting the Boomers on my side and seeing them drop bombs just ~wherever~ ruled.

Xik posted:The bold part. He obviously doesn't mean it in the literally sense, in that going out and actually trading food supplies for water because that doesn't make sense in the context of him being trapped in a cave unable to get out. Yeah, what the other guy said. He's burning calories (energy) to get water. What he's doing is more strenuous than would be ideal when he's trapped someplace for an indefinite amount of time.

Tewratomeh posted:I think as far as anyone knows, Mr. House is still alive and well and ruling New Vegas. You hear people very slowly spreading the word that he might be dead, but nobody knows for sure. Even if they thought he was dead, I don't think most people would jump to the conclusion that control of his empire was handed over to an artificial intelligence that would do everything they command. Also it's not like the Securitrons stop keeping order once House is dead. Presumably they keep on keeping on with their orders to keep everyone but you and your homies out of the Lucky 38 where Yes Man now lives. Nobody else would have the opportunity to even talk to him.

I never saw him outside on the Strip, but maybe that happens if you don't murder Benny before finding him (I've never not killed Benny)

Rayjenkins posted:So I finished Dead Money, and I actually really enjoyed it, despite the fact that I had literally no points in combat skills or sneaking. I was able to finish it with probably 100k+ worth of caps in pre-war currency, and that doesn't include the gold bars locked in the vault. Sadly, only got away with one bar because my character is a pansy. By the way, was anyone able to escape with all of the loot? Speaking of money, where are more good places to sell poo poo (preferably other than the commissary in Lonesome Road)? Gun Runners is usually good enough for me and I really love the convenience of fast-traveling to within 10 feet of it, but sometimes their money supply doesn't hold up. Also, am I correct in my assumption that pretty much all of the gun upgrades in the game eventually cycle through the GR kiosk? ed:\/\/\/as a dude who lives very close to NO and frequently spends time there, this is the idea I keep coming back to Pharmaskittle fucked around with this message at 05:31 on Oct 12, 2011 |

turboraton posted:Totally unrelated to Fallout but... guys I have never played Arcanum but I have heard MANY good things about the game. Should I play it or has the game aged badly? Arcanum is aggressively unhelpful when it comes to telling you where to go and what to do next, which is super cool but might turn you off if you prefer having waypoints to wandering around and having no clue where the gently caress the plot is supposed to go. Combat is bad and you can build a broken character super easily, but the character creation, soundtrack, and story/setting pretty much rule.

Berk Berkly posted:Now you know how I feel. I've done the same thing a few times over now. I'm basically doing gimmick runs like my current "Logan's Loophole" run. That is the starting trait that makes chems last twice as long and never become addicted but you can't ever level past 30. Before that I had a Hardcore mode Pure-Cannibal run. Yeah, Logan's Run is a fun trait because you can still get plenty of skill points and none of the 30+ perks are really that cool anyway.

SpaceMost posted:Is Dead Money universally considered the worst of the DLCs? Dead Money owns bones but no, you have no reason to be concerned about any DLC being remotely similar to it. Old World Blues is pretty much like stepping into an episode of Futurama. If you liked Fallout 2's nonstop goofy poo poo, you'll probably love it. The gameplay isn't really spectacular there (ROBOSCORPIONSSSSS), but the locations and writing more than make up for it.

I wouldn't say that makes them bullet sponges, but Dead Money definitely does make you a tiny bit more vulnerable than you normally are in the Mojave. I get that a very few people might play Fallout as a dressup power fantasy, but I really enjoyed going back to having to be smart to survive, even if it was only briefly. ed: well okay, maybe not "smart." more like "not completely reckless"
