Fuzz1138 posted:Maybe it's because I had not played Fallout 3 before this and so I was unfamiliar with what you can be capable of even at early levels, but the first time I walked into Nipton, my reaction was "poo poo, I'm really outnumbered, it would probably be pretty stupid not to play along with these guys." Not so much "this injustice shall not stand, I must kill you all now." For me the transition between Fallout 3 and NV was brutal because of how different Damage Resistance and Damage Threshold are. In 3, an enemy with 10 DR just takes an extra bullet or two to kill with an early game gun. In NV an enemy with 10 DT literally takes 1-2 damage per bullet with an early game gun. Those Legionaries in Nipton were the first enemies I met that outclassed my damage completely, since on my first playthrough I kept that varmint rifle way longer than I should have.

For certain ammo, the Hand Loader variant is strictly better than the normal--unlike, say, Hollow Points which are only situationally better. For those ones, just disassemble all the normal ones and the occasional scrap metal and make as many as you can, no thinking required.

Even without Hand Loader, you can use it to convert ammo from one type to another if they're in the same "family", which is pretty useful in early/mid game before you have access to all the shops. For example, as soon as you pick up Lucky in Primm, you could breakdown all your 9mm and other small guns ammo to turn all those .357 cases you'll be accumulating back into ammo.

I think someone on the nearby ranger station adds it to your map, but by that point in the game, I'm not really in explore caves and ruins mode. I'd rather do more story quests.

Ugly In The Morning posted:So I started my new game yesterday and ended up playing for four straight hours. This game still has it. I’m at the Repconn factory now, which is pretty much the only part of the game that doesn’t really work for me. I can’t put my finger on why. I think it’s just so long with a lot of combat. I can never bring myself to skip it though. It's pretty bad yeah. Because first it's a combat zone on the ground floor. Then it's basically a combat zone in the basement, because who can be assed to sneak down to the dungeon? Shooting Harland is actually now my preferred method just to speed things up. Then its not one, but two fetch quests in rapid succession. So it's basically the two most boring components of the game, doubled.

Definitely agreed that the fetch quest parts and the extensive backtracking through the facility are not great though; but easy enough to minimize if you know they're going to happen. Hacking is unethical. Flirt with him, you coward.

Lonesome Road was awesome. The Divide looked like what the DC ruins wanted to look like, completely bombed out buldings, all slanted and askewed, with seamless transitions from cave to ruin to outside world.

NorgLyle posted:The first few times I played through Dead Money I had very similar complaints; the villa being a pain to navigate, the weapons being sub-par unless you came pre-built, the collar bomb. But really, the more that I've played the more I can appreciate what they were trying to do with that stuff (and it doesn't hurt that as I've played multiple runs of New Vegas at this point my courier tends to be built "right" since I want to use the Protonic Inversal Axe anyway and don't need to be optimized for damage perks so I can grab Light Step and so on). I like the return to the Fountain after the Gala. Sometimes I do what the graffiti says and run run run. Sometimes I meticulously kill every single Ghost Person in my way. It's fun.

aniviron posted:One of my personal gripes with New Vegas combat encounters is when the game decides that it's just going to spawn enemies behind you when you hit a certain trigger; the base game at least saves this for areas that are supposed to be very difficult, unfair, etc. Old World Blues does this at almost every single goddamn location though, and I hate it so very much. There's a few "fun" encounters that trigger when you activate an object that you can drag using z. You can set it up so you get the drop on them instead of the other way around.

Lonesome Road rules. Going into a cave, through a cave made out of buildings and ending up on a rooftop is awesome. Tilting the floor 5 degrees to make things actually bombed out is cool. Walking into Ulysses's Temple with Eyebots wizzing overhead and a warhead emerging from the ground is badass.

rope kid posted:Vault 11 was more about a linear narrative experience. The hardest part of it (IIRC) was scripting the ending slides + reveal. Everything else was just planning and good storytelling. How much care was put into where each propaganda poster appeared and in what frequency? Because I seem to recall that the first time I played it, the holotape I was listening to and the wall I was staring at made everything click in a big HOLY poo poo kind of way all at once.
