The problem with the AI command is that when companions are set to Passive all it means is they wont attack first. In tight quarters enemies will sense and attack you from above/below and thus your Passive companion goes on the hunt because combat was initiated.

Don't forget about Boone changing from ranged to melee randomly. Piss me off.Aaron said:

The patch fixed my broken game saves but I've lost my dog. I had him with me before my save file corrupted awhile back.

Is it possible to do Arcade's quest earlier in the game?
So, borrowed this from a friend on X360... liking it so far, and I will say that while I hate Oblivion esque level scaling and appreciate areas having powerful monsters, the, uh, I forget their official name, so let's go with... "dire flies" north of Goodsprings are the biggest jump in difficulty I've seen since, uh, Final Fantasy II.
Oh man. 8 levels later with decent armor and 9 strength and a lead pipe and I still can't make a dent in one of those bastards. My Courier tears through mercs and all but the biggest radscorps like nothing (and can take down the bigger ones with effort) but those flies are just insane.
Hardcore mode is nice.
Speaking of which, though, I'm really loaded down for gear; can I safely put my stuff in say, a desk or a big metal trashbin, or will it all be gone when I get back?

Depends on what you mean by "earlier." It does require a certain progression in the main story but depending on how you go about it that point may be earlier than others. The fastest route I can think of would be to side with
Yes Man, and you can trigger it as soon as you've installed Yes Man into the Lucky 38 mainframe if you have enough points with Arcade.

Cazadors are like the Cliff Racers from Morrowind. Even at level 26 I still fear those things like the bubonic plague.
JayDubya said:
This actually depends on the container you put it in. If it's a "public" container, it will reset if the cell is not visited after a certain time and sandbox NPCs will absolutely access it and go through your shit (taking whatever their script tells them is a good idea, like weapon/armor upgrades).
My suggestion is to always use the dropboxes (which are not usable by NPCs) so that the container is accessible from multiple locations until you get a permanent home base to more safely store items.
Cliff racers were relatively easy to kill.
The... Cazadores? They are not.
I'm guessing I need Power Armor and a Super Sledge to stand with them in melee... that and a lot more hit points.
Is the room you can rent in Novac effectively a permanent storage area, safe to keep stuff in? I'll give the lady the 100 caps if I can dump all this extra steak and water and ammo somewhere.

That's because you're trying to go the hard road.JayDubya said:
You can take a detour through the south road(technically the first quest advises you to go there)
Though to be fair I ran like a maniac and ended up in New Vegas early in my first playthrough.
I was like wtf is going on? when I
met Benny
JayDubya said:
Cazadores are dangerous in melee for sure. One thing that will help in melee is the Super Slam perk, which will make it harder for them to fight back whenever that triggers. If you get in deep with them, don't bother trying to flee unless you take out their wings first. They're much faster than you are if they can still fly.
JayDubya said:
Yes, the Novac motel room is safe in my experience.
I don't know why people have so many issues with them. If your character is ranged they don't impose much threat especially when they come in pairs.
I almost killed the pair near Goodspings when I was level 2. I kept running backwards with my laser pistol until the last fly had like 2 points. Then I was out of ammo :lol

Kurtofan said:
Well yeah. You weren't supposed to go that other way in FF2 either; the only trouble is that since the death zone is so close to the starting zone and so readily reachable, and no one really says not to go north... well... anyway, I reloaded and know not to go there.
Every so often when I get a new bit of armor or a new weapon I save and then try to take them on again. :lol

I really liked the Cazadore Death Zone they put North of Goodsprings. It's like Obsidian was saying, "fuck you, you aren't getting there THAT easy!"

I think I must have shot Boone early in my playthrough. He's never around when I visit Novac. :lol
by the way I'd wrote a post of how awesome this game is but then there was a spike in electricity grid and I lost it.
To recap:
I accidentally completed They Went A-Way on level 3. I crawled past Deathclaws to Repconn using my stealth boy. Then I visited New Vegas briefly and went exploring lands on east (
). I found
and recruited
there. What was awesome is that I wanted to recruit my companion early and wanted to recruit Veronica particularly since I heard that the actress from Dr. Horrible's Blog lent her voice. I made an intelligent character and this allowed me to recruit her more easily since there was a dialogue option for high intelligence.
Then we went further east. And I found
:lol I decided to help NCR there and as some of you know Great Khans could be a part of the main storyline. I didn't expected this!
. I think that Obsidian should have had more time to fix such loose ends but it was so fun that I didn't really care.
So I level up two more levels at once and go with
to Repconn. There I learned that she actually can wear a power armor thus becoming an invincible tank :lol I was level 5 at the moment.
I won't go further but I managed to complete The Black Mountain quest at level 8 or 9 using energy weapons and my tank companion.
I haven't visited south yet which was my main playground during the first run. I explore north and about 70% of locations and quests I've found are new to me. That's so awesome. I could've accessed The Strip at level 6 or 7 but haven't bothered with it.

ook a quest from McGraphs to bring them my compaion from the first game :lol

Then we went further east. And I found
Boulder Town
So they told me about the platinum chip and where Benny is even though my character couldn't know who is Benny and what is the platinum chip by that time
So I level up two more levels at once and go with
Veronica

Fucking cazadores are my worst fucking nightmare. I'd almost rather see a fucking Deathclaw than those bastards. Hate those fuckers so much. SO MUCH. And that was even when I was goddamn level 30 Superman. Now that I'm replaying the game, I can't imagine how much I'm going to hate those bastards again.

Cazadores are easy to spot. See those red marks on your compass moving around a million miles per hour? Those are cazadores. Dont go any further unless you are prepared :lol
I see why I never had problems with them. I had agility maxed out + fast reloading on the first run so I could run and reload fast. And now I have perception almost maxed out which helps me spoting them and killing with energy weapons. Their poison is the only dangerous thing because it can kill your companion even after the battle.
