Hey Dead Man Posting, you might want to warn the readers that the "What is Fallout: New Vegas?" section reveals quite a bit about the plot (i.e. everything).

They start appearing periodically after your reputation with the Legion drops low enough. Either Shunned or Hated, I believe. Whether or not you kill Vulpes has nothing to do with it (although killing him and his men openly will probably lower your reputation enough).

Caravan is actually quite fun, but it really should be played with a standard 54-card deck. And, well, against someone who isn't braindead.

All of them are worth it. Honest Hearts is perhaps be the weakest (but it also had the shortest development schedule, so it's understandable), but all of them are easily worth $10. At $2.50, they're practically a steal.

With Logan's Loophole and the DLCs, it's pretty nice to have a mod to reduce the XP gain. The DLCs give absurd amounts of XP, so if you do them fairly early, you'll hit the level cap in no time.

I never played a Bethesda game before, and I didn't expect just how fluid it feels to be able to go anywhere and just happen upon all sorts of little things. Before you know it, you're embroiled in the middle of a quest, you look at a clock, and it's 3 am. It's an Obsidian game. Bethesda is the publisher.

I listen to the NV soundtrack on a regular basis, both the radio tracks and the incidental music, some of which is really nice. I'm crazy about the whole wild west thing the music has got going on. Also, Big Iron is literally my most played song ever. I don't know how that happened, I guess I just can't get enough of that handsome ranger.

Blunt Force Trauma posted:Even if it's not going on sale, it's worth waiting for the Ultimate edition to release, because it will probably be cheaper than buying the game+all DLC at full price currently. The best option will likely be to buy it during the Christmas sale. At -75% off (the discount during the Summer and Autumn sale daily deals), the price of the base game plus all DLCs adds up to $16.5.

prussian advisor posted:Here's a quick question--the amount of implants you can buy is equal to your END, right? Does the END implant itself count? What I'm asking is, can I start with 6 END, buy an END implant to bring it up to 7, and then use that to buy all the other stat boosting ones? No. But Endurance gained by Intensive Training perks raises the implant cap.

The different leveled Ghost People have up to a tenfold difference in hit points, while leveling up your skills can only only double your weapon damage. So doing Dead Money at a high level probably makes them pretty bullet sponge-y. Not sure if hit points affect how much damage you need to do to cripple limbs though.

Francois Kofko posted:There's also that the game mechanics have been refined in new Vegas as well as improving the engine I think that the simple thing of getting rid of Damage Resistance as the sole damage mitigation mechanism did wonders for the gameplay. Damage Resistance scales really badly and makes buffing the enemy hitpoints — either via DR or base hitpoints — the only way to increase difficulty. Damage Threshold, on the other hand, allows the game designer to create enemies that have a thick armor, but what can be bypassed with high-damage weapons and/or things like armor-piercing bullets. Or they can make enemies that have a lot of hit points but no armor, which allows high DPS weapons that have no armor piercing capabilities (i.e. low damage per bullet) to shine. In Fallout 3, the only thing that matters is DPS. A weapon that fires one 100-damage bullet per second is always as good as a weapon that fires ten 10-damage bullets per second. That is why there are enemies with ridiculous amounts of hit points (like Albino Radscorpions) in Fallout 3: the only way of making the game more challenging as it progresses was to increase enemy hit points, so they did exactly that.

gohuskies posted:You've got a bit of a point with this - FO3's Wasteland had more stuff in it than the Mojave, and the stuff going on was denser. But that's partly the result of NV's designers making a realistic recreation of the Mojave. While this may be true I'd wager that the 18-month development schedule and the smaller size of the team play a far bigger part.

I've already found a bunch online obviously, but you know, goons are the best. It doesn't matter. As long as your INT isn't stupidly low, you can trivially max all your skills.

Actually, the damage bonus is only +20% with rope kid's mod. Anyhow, the All-American and Marksman Carbine are decent weapons, but they can't really compete with all the overpowered DLC weapons.
