Wouldn't JSawyer alone make it easier to roll melee? DT being increased as much as it has seems like it'd make it easier to take shots at high endurance.

yeah good point

my thought process was.. more armor = less hp damage, so it wouldn't be as big of a deal

but now that I think about it, that wouldn't apply in most situations

i will play unarmed vanilla and do Nevada melee later because I think it's the one that adds a katana that explodes on each swing that's pretty funny + very effective at damaging both the enemy and you

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
i've put prob 200+ hours into new vegas and i've never gotten to the end of return to sender

also i've started fallout 1 like twelve times but only beaten it once, because the early parts in shady sands and the radscorpion cave are sooo boooring, not to mention the ten minutes spent fighting or running from rats just outside the vault

even though the temple of trials is worse it's over faster and klamath at least has enough going on to not be totally bland

what are some funny ways to sequence break new vegas? I wanted to kill caesar before even meeting benny and mr house, but it seems the boat guy at cottonwood doesnt appear until after you get the invitation. does vulpes react at all in nipton if i killed caesar? whats the best way to piss off caesar, does he react at all to the fact that i met joshua graham? does graham react to killing caesar?

You can tell Joshua that you killed Caesar, but that's all I know.

If you kill Caesar, you'll have already gotten your Legion pardon to get to him, so every Legion character will be hostile. It can get you a better resolution to Return to Sender, and a free whiskey at the Atomic Wrangler, but other than that the gameplay impact is fairly limited.

if you want to sequence break, you can head directly to new vegas as soon as you start, steal and pawn off the weapons in the silver rush until you hit the 2,000 credit check, run straight to benny, assassinate him, get the mark from vulpes, get some decent gear from vendotron, then greet caesar with the weapon of your choice. boom, you've entered new vegas, killed caesar, and didn't go anywhere in most of the western and southern halves of the map, all within about two or so hours of starting the game. it can be kinda right cutting through the cazador, gecko, and fiend party when first starting out, but youre safe when you start approaching camp mccarren

if your agility is high enough, you can run through hidden valley and scorpion gulch. just sprint past the scorpions, head toward the rear of HELIOS, then follow the road north through 188 to vegas.

p.s. what happens if you enter the bunker without having met house? does he appear on the monitor in the bunker and introduce himself there?

agility does not affect your running speed

if you enter the bunker without meeting house he pops up on the computer at the start and says "yo whats up im house plz activate my robots bye"

You could get the NCR armour from Primm and take the monorail, instead of whatever horseshit you tool around with.

The easiest way to sequence break New Vegas is to get 10 luck and get a bunch of money from the Atomic Wrangler, Ultra-Luxe, Tops, and Gomorrah (They even give you really good combat armor here too) and buying all the Gun Runners Arsenal weapons at level 2

yea, i already went the northern route, made it to vegas and cleared out the casinos. maybe sequence break was the wrong way to put it, i guess im really just wondering about the funniest ways to be an rear end in a top hat to the legion.

like, will the named legion npcs automatically attack me if caesar is dead? can i rub it in vulpes face when i meet him in nipton? or that guy thats being interrogated in mccarran. I basically want to gently caress the legion over as much as possible, kill benny, get the pardon, rub it in caesars face, kill him and gloat about it to as many people as possible

idk, is it even possible to kill caesar stealthily? i tried planting bombs on him before, but that would get me villified as soon as i exited the tent

i just sell off the useless dogmentations i don't have perks for that the dogmentation mod drops everywhere that are worth ridiculous amounts to the gun runners

e: doesn't agility affect stamina? i definitely can't run as far with power armor on which is p. annoying but i like the +50kg carry capacity. maybe that's what he means.

is there any item i can use to repair the stealth suit mk.2 from old world blues? it owns but it's all broken and I can't afford to fix it. if i can go back there and scavenge some poo poo that would work.

I think you can repair it with combat armor

also why don't you have jury rigging it's the best perk

Doctor Goat

it'd own if jury rigging was a skill like modification in system shock 2 w/ visual modifications to stuff as you messed with it but if that idea got near a bethesda engine it'd catch fire

edit: not like weapon mods, being able to jury rig stuff like using spare hides to boost any armor w/ downsides

survival tries to do what i'm imagining but it's really limited

enchantments can't stack at all, each enchantment is actually a separate enchantment. morrowind's engine would actually be better at this and that's shameful

okay i'm wrong, they just can't stack like this in premade items but they can stack in custom items, but two is the hard limit

custom items are probably a work of voodoo and if you open the page in the source you die in 7 days

that's the best source i could find because i dont have skyrim installed, if you open the creation kit or run the thing that makes new items w/ new enchantments spawn everywhere it shows you it

i am only an amateur coder but if ANY Bethesda game's source gets released i'm going to have a field day messing w/ it

new vegas' would be especially fun because it'd be obsidian AND bethesda so i figure there'd be tons of stuff like
