^^ Who is that girl and would I have to play as a female to hear her voice?
What about weapons, armor, perks and skills?water_wendi said:

Damnit, just realized I need my radiation suit and my follower chick is wearing it, but she has disappeared.

More weapons. More armor and return of Damage Threshold. Perk rate is balanced (1 perk every two levels instead of every level) and you get special perks for doing achievement-like things (kill 50 insects get a bonus to damage against bugs, use so many addictive drugs get a bonus to how long they last, etc). Skills are balanced in that its impossible to become a master of everything and almost every skill is useful for either skill checks during dialog or just plain useful.The Lamonster said:

Her character is fun to have around, and she's pretty useful in combat, too.

The weapons in New Vegas are way better than Fallout 3. More melee weapons that are extremely powerful. Plenty of types of guns which can be modded with things like scopes, larger magazines, chokes for shotguns, etc... Guns also use various types of ammo, a 12 gauge can use buckshot, magnum buckshot, slugs, coinshot, beanbag rounds. Plenty of variety and a weapon for just about anyone. You can also use a reloading bench to craft your own bullets.The Lamonster said:
Speaking of crafting, you can make so many things in this game. From various ammo types at the reloading bench, to all kinds of foods at a campfire and finally other items like stimpacks and chems at a workbench. You can craft lots of useful items and there are also weapons to be made like Fallout 3. It seems like just about every item you can pick up in the world, can be used for crafting something.

Is it possible to change the color of the HUD as it was in FO3? Not a fan of the ugly yellow. Maybe that's what is turning me off about this game.

Yes. It is orange at default. i like it. Feels right with the themes going on.The Lamonster said:
Well, Ive just walked out of a door omly for the game to spawn me inside Boone so neither of us can go anywhere I'm stuck, and even if I fast travel I spawn stuck inside Boone....
FFS, what makes it worse is I just quicksaved before it happened, so my auto save and my quick save is stuck in a bastard loop of spawning me inside Boone...Awesome, my last main save is fucking 3 hours ago...
Don't know if I've got the heart to go through all that again....

Vault 34 taught me that
drugs and alcohol are in fact the answer to the question "What should I consume if I'm raiding a highly radioactive vault full of glowing ghouls?"
But seriously,
drugs like psycho and jet made the place pretty easy, that and cowering behind Terminator Boone armed with a flamethrower taking pot shots with my 10mm submachinegun.

Beat it, clocked in +60 hours. So good.
A little pissed about some of the badass gear (only being available after you cross the point of no return but hey that's what mods are for)
In the end I feel like it's quite significantly better as a game than 3 was, although the DC waste land was better realized from geographic standpoint, everything else was so much better in this one.

Hidden Valley: Missing Laser Pistol Subquest (won't show up in your quest log - you need to talk to the woman at the Brotherhood gun range to initiate it).
REPCONN HQ: There's quantum plasma or laser rifle here that's not as good as the laser rifle you get after completing the missing laser pistol subquest at Hidden Valley, but it's not bad either.

That said, I'm still mightily unimpressed with energy weapons on this playthrough. Obsidian either intentionally depowered them in New Vegas, or it's a bug, or there's something wrong with my character build (I don't have the exact stats right now, but I have medium low strength, endurance, high intelligence, charisma). I had a similar build in Fallout 3 and I was dusting challenging opponents like deathclaws and supermutants left and right with my energy weps in that game.
OK I hate to ask so many questions, but this one has been driving me crazy...
I'm at the hidden valley, how the hell do I

get into the Brotherhood's base? I found one little room but the door literally went nowhere and I found a hollowed out rock right at the waypoint but it just had a few items in it

I fucked that quest up so bad
I agreed to get a replacement for the main course, but thought it would be ok to take care of the ranchers son first...bad idea. Everybody turned hostile and me and boone had to fight off the white glove's with flamers using only our fists (no concealable weapons, oi). Get out of the kitchen thinking it would be ok now...nope, the rancher and his guard are boomsticking the faces off of everybody, and soon enough the entire casino floor is covered in blood and bodies. Completed the quest, but now the casino has no real function as the banker died as well so no way to get chips, and the rancher and his guard are still in there just standing around

i dont really care about those kinds of glitches. Its single-player so its not like there is an unfair advantage.DeVeAn said:

The way I see it, if there's an exploit that's clearly a bug and the player decides to make use of it, that's the player's choice. If he wants to take the fun out of the game, it's his time and money, he's entitled to it. It doesn't stop anyone else from playing it normally and ignoring the exploit loops.

I can't get Boone to follow me anymore. I used him for a while after getting him as a companion, then sent him back to Novac while I did missions around the strip. Now I want him as I
he's in his hotel room but won't leave with me. The companion wheel comes up, everything is set for him to follow, but he won't. And he keeps saying "what is it?", every 2 fucking seconds. What can I do to fix this?
make a final push for the NCR cause.
