it's not really an escort quest when the only thing that poses a threat to companions in new vegas is, like, cazadores and deathclaws

Ya, I could understand it if you actually prefer not to use companions because they make the game too easy or something, but there's nothing really that can kill them. Dead Money haters are full of poo poo, and stupid.

While that's true, my point is that there's no alternate option to tell them to crawl up where the sun never shines, and just continue with the story an alternate route. From what I remember you have to convince them to go with you in the first place.

i was really fuckin high when i started up dead money and i didnt know anything about it, i thought it was just some western casino thing. like the rest of the vanilla game. and i started it up and right off the bat i had all my gear taken away and an explosive collar permanently equipped adn if i got too close to those loving radios that looped that same sound effect over and over and over id blow up. it creeped me out and it was really disturbing and that really stuck with me. Its my least favorite because it made me feel really uncomfortable

we can't blame people for being jealous of Chris "Christ" Avellone, it's just human nature

imagine, getting up from a long day of creating richly interacting video game quest chains, getting piss drunk, and making time with random booth babes

he truly has it all

I think it's cool that they did something totally different with the atmosphere of the game. They kinda went halfway there with LR, but being able to fast travel and leave at your leisure diluted it.
I believe that Lonesome Road was originally going to be more like Dead Money but people complained so they altered it- all those references to killer dust storms make me certain they were planned to be an environmental hazard at some point. They made the ability to leave at will a part of the story, which I appreciate. When Ulysses says "you could have turned away at any time" it's literally true.

The GRA weapons all come at 100% condition which by default inflates their cost. I get where they were going with it lore wise since they're newly manufactured but it really made them much more useless unless you abused the Sierra Madre or the luck system.
Unless you're trying to buy all the GRA weapons you can easily afford the non-uniques by playing the game totally normally. The uniques are mostly high-end weapons and you'll be able to afford at least one just fine when you're higher level. Even without getting banned from all the casinos you end up rich as gently caress in this game.

Fallout 2 had some lovely stuff but it made up for it by having a lot of loving good stuff as well. I barely remember stuff like Brain the Mole Ray or the chess playing radscorpion, I remember being sheriff of Redding and buying people's debt with my own money to save them from getting foreclosed on or whatever.

When the companions get to their spots and start making extra demands of you you can tell every single one of them to eat your poo poo and just leave them there.

i have posted this before in other places but it's really cool to go through FO3 areas in New Vegas

because they're way differently designed and it's nice to see the contrast

according to the dev that posted in the games thread, this is intentional and ulysses is just a mopey bitch with stalking issues that, much like the courier, managed to get lucky and impress some people
