OK that sounds good... what about the difference between normal-hard-very hard? I played FO3 on normal and after a few hours it was really quite easy. How punishing are these other difficulties?duckroll said:I'm not saying it doesn't make the game more difficult at all. It definitely adds more challenge (which is why it's so fun), but I just don't think it's something that can be considered actually punishing. It's not the punishing sort of difficulty, it's the fun sort!

The worst thing about Boone was not just that he made the game easy mode, but that he's just... psycho. Devoid of any human feeling at all. Didn't really mesh with my character's personality at all, so I ditched him for Cass. Loving her so far. Her comments while moving around are already so much more pleasant.
Btw, about Ed-E...
does anyone know how to trigger more playbacks from him? It's been quite a long time since the scrapyard event, and I haven't triggered anything since then. :/

I noticed the same about Ed-E only that one time in the scrapyard and I've put in 10-12 hours, also if I do decide to ditch Boone is there any way to get him back as a follower? I sort of want him as a backup plan if I get stuck somewhere.
Best moment in the game, far surpassing even Vault 11, was the quest Wang Dang Atomic Tango.
I wish more stuff like that happened in the game.
So its any easy ass quest takes all of 5 minutes to complete but after finding the Sexbot and programing it I was able to have sex with it, depraved yes but my character is a whore, and it gets better. Upon leaving the robot factory in Freeside where I found and boned said Sexbot I was immediately attacked by a roving gang of Old ladies in spring casual dresses wielding rolling pins. Awesome.

The biggest danger is crippled limbs. Man do you start to move slow out in the wasteland if you have crippled limbs and if ppl are like me and refuse to fast travel in Fallout games it becomes a real pain in the butt. Is there anything perk wise or S.P.E.C.I.A.L wise that helps protect against crippled limbs.
duckroll said:
I'm on the verge of ditching Boone mainly because my character is anti-NCR, and that doesn't mesh well with the NCR-loving Boone.
Don't have ED-E yet. Was that the robot you can fix at one of the early towns? I think when I stumbled on him/her my Science wasn't high enough.
Ditching Boone will let me check out that Companion Sandbox mod, too. Apparently if you send companions back and have them wait around they literally just stand there in whatever town, but with that mod they move around and do stuff.

this might help from the wiki, note; some spoilers for that quest on the wiki

Using the "wait" feature will also speed up ED-E's speech events. Use the wait feature in increments of 1 hour inside Old Lady Gibson's house and after that anywhere else in the world.
Other possible keywords have been reported as being: Enclave, Navarro, Poseidon, Helios, and Archimedes. A way to incorporate another companion to help in this is to have Arcade Gannon present, as his personal quest being undertaken will result in many of the key words being spoken.

Anyone feel like the radio music is way too low for how loud the announcer voices are? I can barely hear the songs so I crank up the volume but then Wayne starts talking and it's maddeningly loud.
Also, FWIW there seems to be a lot more announcer chatter in FONV than in FO3...

On the 360 controller (and PS3 I assume) you "aim" at the item and press R3. You'll pick it up and can move it around until you press it again to drop it.Trickster said:
duckroll said:It's so weird playing a new Fallout game which really does feel like a sequel to Fallout 2. As far as any long time Fallout is concerned, New Vegas -is- Fallout 3. Not only is the writing and narrative style faithful, but there are so many direct connections in terms of characters, factions and location/setting.
But can you play as a retard?
Is SPECIAL ACTUALLY FUCKING USED in the Oblivion engine for once? FO3 your SPECIAL stats meant jack-squat with a few exceptions.
Fallout 1/2 SPECIAL made a difference depending on what your stats are. Even if the writing is good compared to Beths (not that that's fucking hard), if it doesn't play similar to Fallout 1/2, it's a dismal disappointment.
I should be able to play a stupid but strong motherfucker, or play a smart scientist that talks his way out of things. But Fallout 3 didn't do either and wanted you to SHOOTAN GAEMZ it. :|
I am having so much fun with this that I don't want it to end. I'm doing my best to play every side quest as they come.

Where does one find small pistol primers and pistol powder? I have a jar of powder but it doesn't seem to be working when I am at the reloading bench. Anyone have some tips on where to find the necessary components for making some 9mm+P and some Magnum Buckshot?
Question regarding NCR and
(I assume this is pretty late game).
Is there anyway for
P.S.
Brotherhood of Steel
Is there anyway for
BoS and NCR to place nice? I'm trying to go the NCR route this time around, but I don't want to really..kill off the Brotherhood.
P.S.
The Real Mr. House is pretty freaky...
daoster said:
I want to do this as well so I have supported the other guy to be the new elder and I finished up all the quests, he lets me join the brotherhood and then.... nothing I have read some people on the net being able to get a dialog about a 'truce' between the brotherhood and NCR but I am guessing it's still buggy which pisses me off because I won't finish the game until it's fixed

It's pretty amazing since you can repair expensive stuff with all the crap you find everywhere. The base type has to approximately be the same as the item being repaired.knitoe said:
Also wow sniper rifles do ridiculous damage, more than DPS would indicate really. Especially the unique one.

Is there a glitch in the Beyond the Beef quest? This would really blow because I'm looking forward to exposing things...
*EDIT* Never mind, had to go talk to the right person before being attacked.

So what's the best version to get? 360 vs. PS3?
I'm having too much fun with this game. Only got 3 hours of sleep because I pulled an "all nighter" in the wasteland. Hardcore mode is amazing and really adds to the survival element. FO3 is one of my favorite games of all time, and so far NV has surpased it in every way. I love how everyone has a different story to tell about their adventures in the waste. Just reading this thread makes me want to go home and play!
After putting about 100 hours into Fallout 3 I am going to have to say this about New Vegas......
It is even better.
There are so many things to do....and the randomness of stuff is just amazing. You know a game is good when you have to force yourself to stop playing at 4 in the morning.

I'm kind of addicted to moving junk around.
On my new character I sided with the Powder Gangers and ended up killing Sunny Smilies. I carried her body up the hill and dumped her in my grave. After a moment of silence I ran back down to grab her dog but I couldn't move that bitch for anything so I just dropped the dog-hide in the grave and ate the dog-meat.
Then at one point I found a house with a couple dead bodies. I tried and failed to drop the bodies in the corner and bury stuff on top of them. As a bonus a couple of eyeballs were still left on the bed and I couldn't move those.
Boone destroys stuff too quickly that's true but damn it's better than Veronica running into everything and getting knocked out. I'm going to go out and try to recruit some of these other guys.

Even though. Companions are definitely kind of broken. I can't imagine me and Boone have all that different stats. He is a sneaky sniper, I'm a sneaky sniper. But he has more HP, can carry more, can take one serious beating before dying (I have 7 END and die like in three hits from certain ghouls) and he doesn't need a radiation suite!
I'm on very hard with hardcore mode. He is obviously handling creates as if it was normal difficulty. Makes my character feel pretty pitiful. I have to plan an attack on radscorps (most of the time I just avoid them) and in general have a really hard time with heavily armored or really fast foes. He just blows them away.
I still like having him around. It isn't making the game that much easier plus he could die (and I don't plan on reloading). It's nice to have an extra 250 capacity. I just like to assume he is naturally better then my character because he was a soldier and is extremely experienced (though he is still leveling up...)
Pretty much hooked on the game now. I was out sick yesterday and pretty much played the game from 9am to 9pm... not one of my prouder moments.
Really looking forward to some mods that add weight to everything.
Those that have completed the "Come fly with me Quest", I'm having some issues:
edit :
I've talked to Chris and I have to find the two requested items to help get the rockets off of the ground. One of them are rocket thrust controllers. I went to the scrapyard as indicated on the map...but I forgot that earlier in the game I killed the lady that owned this place:lol . So the arrow is there and I've looked inside and out of this place and cannot find them the arrow just keeps going all over the damn place. Am I screwed?
edit :
Yeah I think I'm screwed! The arrow is pointing at where she would be sitting if I wouldn't of blasted her..FUUUUUUU:lol
Smokey said:
If you killed her (why the FUCK did you kill you? lol) you can get the thrust controllers from a box somewhere inside her room I believe. Again, why the FUCK did you kill an innocent old lady? :lol
I see some help myself with a Vicky and Vance quest...
So I finally got enough Science to tell the robot he was hacked. Now I have some info about where the gun might have been taken... I've checked out all of Westside but there aren't anymore leads I can find. Any tips?
