This is going to be a really nasty fight over character build. I'm getting some popcorn.
I need to save that xkcd comic about people being wrong on the internet. I'm not going to indulge in introspection, because that would make me realize just how ridiculous this whole argument is.

While we're talking about builds, I want to make sure my first character's SPECIAL is good. Here's what I've thought of (at the moment) for a high-AP Guns + Sneak character:
S 6
P 5
E 6
C 1
I 6
A 8
L 8
I'm more terrified of not picking the best perks now that you can only choose 15 instead of 29. I'll probably use the Perks Every Level mod.

Umm I never said the build was anything in particular. I asked "how's this for a character build?" and I got a butthurt poster trying to jockey on my back who felt slighted for being told earlier that reloading or killing things faster is useful when facing groups of enemies that can 1-2 shot your courier or companions on very hard.Dresden said:
You tell me to admit a build is 'shit' while in the same post claiming all a build needs to be good is luck, finesse, and better criticals. You tell me to 'realize I've never played it' when I was already upfront about never having done so. Irony and hypocrisy alert. Take your unwarranted attacks elsewhere, please.

4 hours in, steamrolling things from F3 are still there (hi Perception 10 and repair skill). I don't know if I can force myself to finish this one, the engine is disastrous, the world just ugly.
Is it possible to side with the NCR for the main quest? Maybe I missed something, but the only options available to me are to side either with
. Also, is there a way to satify
?

Regarding
not being able to join me...
Veronica
Do I have to actually dismiss a companion for good for her to actually join me? I thought I could have multiple companions but only one (and E-DE or Rex) at a time. Can someone clear this up for me please? Because, even though I told Boone to wait for me back at my motel room she still won't join me.
Lakitu said:
Asking a companion to "wait" still counts as them being your companion. That's an AI order you're giving, you're not removing them from your party. You need to tell him to GTFO before you can get another companion. If you want to get him back, just go back to Novac again.

remove my 1st Battalion NCR beret. If you're wearing anything NCR related I don't think she joins you.
Just speculation though.

This arguing over builds is absolutely ridiculous. By the end of the game you will be super powerful regardless of what you do (unless you play water_wendi's character, in which case I assume you may have a little trouble killing things, but thats not the point!). You will have perks that benefit you, kick ass weapons and a ton of stats into at least one weapon base (melee, guns, unarmed, explosives or energy), probably two. I managed to finish the game at 25 hours in and level 22, never had any problems aside from wandering into swarms of deathclaws too early, which I should have got owned by regardless (after getting super slam and a fire axe deathclaws dropped easy too, at like level 16. Admittedly I playd on normal, but playing a little more cautiously than I did on hard will probably be just fine). This optimizing your build and planning every stat boost and perk unlock at each level seems silly to me, just wing it as you go and things will die, I promise. You might get a perk one level later than you expected but it really wont make a big difference. It's a single player game and you don't have to worry about having the perfect build for killing things or having the perfect leveling path. Just enjoy it!

Alien Blaster, can be found in the north most area of New Vegas a little to the west (follow the north rock wall and keep going west till you see a group of aliens). I believe, like in FO3, it one shots an enemy when you score a critical (and the gun itself has a high critical rate). Its also very powerful even when a critical isn't scored.

Didn't someone mention you can only get a Gauss Rifle with Wacky Wasteland off? Cause I found one on a random NCR.
Right before the game crashed and the console RROD again. :'(. I will damn get this to work. I will towel trick this damn system into working long enough to beat this game.
My buddys game saves suddenly seem to be corrupted. Whenever he tried to load he gets a message saying "it needs online content that is no longer available", then the game just resets apparently.
Is this one of New Vegas' many annoying possible tech issues? Or could this be something to do with the 360 update? Anyone else heard of this?
I told him to clear his cache.... no idea if thats worked he hasnt got back to me yet.

God yeah, I LOVE that gun. With the rapid reload perk it might as well be an assault shotgun. :lol

I have an extra code for the classic pack for PS3, its for the european copy of the game, quote this post and i'll PM it to you.
You get vault 13 armor, weathered 10mm pistol and a vault 13 canteen that randomly heals some of your health now and then.

You guys like Finesse?

Or, (if you're replaying) get the companion mod and have yourself a party.duckroll said:
SlipperySlope said:
I do. Even on my shotgun build (which is not a crit-heavy build) it's still a good perk. Critical hits have a DT penetration element which makes them devastating against highly armored targets. If you're playing a build where you plan on taking Better Criticals (almost any combat oriented build) I would suggest taking Finesse.

Finesse works with the Sneak Criticals, right? I think thats why I can pretty much one shot Deathclaws with my Guass Rifle (while in Sneak).

Do we a GAF-Approved list of mods that actually benefit the game? Nude mods are not in this category.
I don't even get why anyone would want a superbuild anyways. The game isn't all that difficult even if you have a fair build. A superbuild would make the game unbelievably easy to the point of not even being fun.
My main problem with the game is the further I get from some of the immediate towns like Novac and Goodsprings is I'm starting to see where they are cutting corners. You see some huge places that are absolutely desolate and are filled with generic NPCs. Nothing worse than running through huge environments, approaching some guy only to see he's a one-line spouting NPC... then you gotta run everywhere hoping the next guy actually gives you a quest or has backstory.

You're not wrong, but that's more of the game engine being shit rather than Obsidian cutting corners.

Just finished it (
) and I think it's fair to say that Obsidian mopped the floor with Bethesda in every category with this game. It really felt like a Fallout game and if it wasn't for this lousy gambryo engine I wouldn't really have any complaints about it.
I tip my hat to the boys at Obsidian (yet again!).

Well yes, that and NWN2, and MotB. I really hope that they get some recognition now with NV, it seems to be pretty popular!Stallion Free said:

Well I just met my first blind deathclaw. Like an idiot, I thought to myself "I know, I'll stand still and it won't see me". Yeah right ... BOUND BOUND SWIPE SLASH DEAD. Blind my fucking arsehole :lol

Just finished the game. Final in-game time was 42 hours, that's of course not including retries and loading (Steam has it at 49 hours). Once I got to level 30, I immediately went to do the end-game quest on the NCR path because I felt I had already done a ton of stuff and explored lots of places, but I already knew there were far more. For example, I didn't even meet Veronica or go to that Deathclaw nest North of Sloan.
Totally satisfied with my ending. I'll prolly play through the game again, but not at least for a few months. Perhaps get back at it when some DLC hits. Even if there is no quality DLC, this is the type of game you just can't play once. Either way, 2 things are for sure now
1. I've never said this about any fictional female character before but Cass is mai waifu
&
2. I'm buying Fallout 2 on GoG. I've been watching "let's plays" of it on youtube and it seems much more similar to New Vegas than Fallout 3.

Fixed the Strip bug with visiting it by monorail. Dropped of all McGrafs loot at my presidential suite. Will sort it out later.
Killing McGrafs wasn't easy (fail after fail), but then I figured out that I can use 4 C4s that I had on me. I piled them up at the door, shot at the guard and then when 4 other guards came out I just shot at C4 :lol Looked epic.

so I finally went to the fort, and met Caesar.
. What a fulfilling moment.
But since I didnt want to side with the asshole, I meant to get back to mr House and give him the Chip, but the imbeciles wouldn't let me go out with the stuff. I checked some guides and someone posted that I had to punch the guards in the bunker, and run to Cottonwood Cove as fast as possible. So I did, and obviously had to kill everyone there. Power Armor+Level 30+ Gobi Rifle did the trick in a couple of minutes. What I didn't know, however, was that Mr House wanted me to go back to the Fort, no explanation given, so I went back there and THE WHOLE FUCKING CAMP went against me, dogs included. Jesus, that was one hectic battle. About thirty or more centurions, mongrels, guards, praetorii, thank god for the Holy Grenades and Super Stmpaks. Then I checked out Caesar's tent...another shitstorm of death. Cornered, I had to shield myself from the Holy Nades thrown half a meter from me. Guards with nasty Ballistic Punches, Vulpes, mongrels again, Caesar himself. Camp was one big slaughterhouse. And I freed Benny
