Well after 3 days of trying various hotfixes and graphics settings, I've finally gotten the game to run in a semi-stable state. It only crashes about every hour and a half now instead of every 10-20 minutes and it no longer brings my whole PC down in the process... This game is such a piece of shit, technically speaking but I'm finding the game/setting more interesting than FO3 (which I didn't finish) so I'm going to try to finish this one.
I'm a few hours in and have hit kind of an infuriating issue:
Any tips? I'm kind of at a dead end.
I pissed Caesar off by killing those asshole Legion troops that torched Nipton. An hour or so later I'm on my way to Novac and four Legendary Assassins come up to me, initiate combat, then three seconds later, I'm dead. I've tried setting traps, I've tried every weapon I have, I've tried hanging with a caravan to get a few extra gunslingers on my side, but nothing even touches these guys. I turned it down to easy, but 64 stimpaks and 2 dead assassins later, I'm dead again. I'm only level 6, but I don't know any other way to resolve the issue.
Any tips? I'm kind of at a dead end.
I'll post this on a new page so everyone can see it:
PC PEOPLE, THIS MOD FIXES NEARLY ALL THE STUTTER IN THE GAME, DOESN'T REQUIRE A MODIFIED .EXE AND WORKS PERFECTLY WITH STEAM:

The 4gb Fix looks a lot like the memory utilization tweaks found in the Fallout 3 Tweakguide:
http://www.tweakguides.com/Fallout3_8.html
It's an excellent source for getting New Vegas running smoothly

So i am stuck.
I have to do the Kings Gambit quest. I have used my favor from king (idiot..) and now i have to deal with pacer. It says lace the jet but it doesn't do it. It says find someone pacer hates so you can frame him but i cant seem to talk to him or anything. What can i do?
IronRinn said:
Yes it will (see my post above)! The mod does two things:
1) 4gb fix
2) stuttering fix
although the description is a little vague. It's like the Stutter Remover+4GB fix. I've tried it and it does indeed fix the stuttering while retaining Steam functionality (unlike the Stutter Remover).

Are the companions extra stupid or do they just not listen to the command wheel. The stupid dog keeps running into every group and gets himself killed.
Since I'm playing on hardcore I need to continually reload my game.
Also, did anyone skip parts of the game by wondering around. I seem to have gotten to the strip with ever going to the two other towns from where you start.

I like using first-person cam for kills. That way everything slows down when I kill one dude which leaves me ample time to shoot through anyone else nearby. It's kind of stylish, almost makes me want a FPS in the Fallout universe.
BTW I hate the limit for NPCs joining. I can get one decent character like Boone, Arcade, etc. and one shitball-useless character like EDE or Rex. I just know the modding community is doing something about that and making absurdly over-powered parties that make Deathclaws into extra-large bitches.
Guess I'll start saving for a PC. I want a new TV too though. sucks.

I'm tempted to hit up the Strip again and sneak-attack a stripper for her pasty-outfit...
It's going to suck for my melee character but hey whatever.

I remembered that. It's like watching the Leeroy Jenkins video.
God, this game is so fucking addictive and so fucking good.
In a lot of ways, the pacing, characterization, humor, and atmosphere really reminds me of Fallout 2.
I love how this game is more of the spiritual successor to FO2 in terms of gameplay and pacing than FO3 (never finished it - too Oblivion for my taste).

Finally got the game. CE. The comic is pretty neat. Seems to provide some background story to the intro. Didn't finish it yet.
Played about 2 hrs, med/high-ish settings, ATI card (which one? I forget). No noticeable bugs, good framerate and fast loading. No technical issues so far, fingers crossed!
Combat isn't as terrible as I'd imagine. Ironsights help, I suppose. VATS is ok.
I'm not far enough for Hardcore to have made much of a difference yet re: food/water/sleep, but inventory management is making me having to throw away items I would have otherwise hoarded. I only have 5 Str
Exploration has been enjoyable.

Just read that New Vegas has sold 1/3 more than the debut sales of Fallout 3. Good stuff.
edit: Fallout 3 did 4.7 million in the first week. That means an additional 30% sales would mean New Vegas massed 6.1 million sales so far. Thats much higher than i thought it would sell.

It's not just the dog though. I can't take any of my companions into Vaults or anything like that. I was in a vault last night and Cass literally ran down 2 flights of stairs to fight ghouls 2 floors below where I was at. I couldn't see them, had no idea they were there at all, but she did and she got herself killed. Companions are really annoying like that, even if you tell them to not be aggressive, they still are. I have been rolling solo lately, as I am getting really annoyed having to babysit these dumbasses.firehawk12 said:

Of course. I have even told her to "wait here" and if there is a ghoul in sight, she will go into combat mode and not come out of it until all enemies are dead. She will go hunt ghouls down that are behind doors that haven't even been opened yet. ED-E was doing the same thing, so I ended up just getting rid of both of them. If I tell my companion to stay close and behind me, they should do exactly that.Arde5643 said:

no problems with this game for the first 10 hours or so.
Now it's constantly freezing up on me. PS3 version.
Reminds me of Fallout 3 after installing all the fucking DLC.
Fix this shit, Bethesda/Obsidian. -_-

Shit, I failed "Render unto Caesar" by helping out the NCR.
Did I miss out on much? My response was pretty much "Well, fuck Caesar up his ass anyway."

Is there a list of all the companions and how to get them and how do you send them back to the hotel?

You can send them to the 38 by dismissing them and picking the option to meet at the 38. ED-Es option is something like Return::Homebase.

I think cheats.cc has a list. However the wiki is just way better. Just go look that sucker up. I personally bought the guide off Steam and so glad I did sometimes.darkjedi187 said:

Not sure I failed as well.vas_a_morir said:
I failed it by killing the Legion boatman at cottonwood cove. After I visited Caesar and especially after the way he talked to me, I wasn't going to let his bitch boatman live. So I did fail it, but I also gained a quest, that doesn't appear in my quest log. I don't even remember the name of it when it popped up on-screen though. Caesar is next on my list that pompous son of a bitch, he thinks he top shit. Just wait til he get a load of me (and my magnum buckshots)

The fact that he starts off with this...
anyhow. The score is a B and I wonder if that is tempered by the debacle. 1up already had issues with ubisoft in the past (I think its ubisoft)... dan hsued. Anyhow, Because I had a game breaking bug.
Game score is max 65/100 for me.

If you're not hostile with
Legion, you can just offer to buy the slaves off them. He gives you a key when you do, so I imagine you could get it by murdering his shit, as well.
Not sure what you mean by Camp Searchlight, I just walked up to it. If you mean the
fire and police station, there's a hatch in the church with some dudes in it that'll start a quest that lets you loot those areas.

I had an NPC bug out on me earlier. I wandered up a mountain and into a cave where I met some dude lying on the ground. He was going on about all of his squadmates getting killed and I gave him a doctor's bag for his leg and led him back because he wanted to get the fuck out. Thing is I must have triggered a glitch through the speech check I won and when I led him to the exit he thanked me, gave me some okay stuff(including my first schematic..only took 30+ hours), and then turned around and headed straight for the bad-guys at the bottom. I did my best to protect him but no luck, he got whooped.
Nothing serious at least but it was funny seeing some dude all "I gotta get out of here!" turn around and go head-first into the monsters.
Oh and some people I rescued way way way out in
. I thought that was a nice touch, I guess they hit the fast travel when I wasn't looking cause no way a couple of unarmed people are getting that far...maybe they looted some corpses for guns and stuff. There were no shortage of those where I was chilling.
