It's he unfortunately. I always referred to him as Edie (i.e. Edith) but it's actually pronounced Eddie.

Phew, apparently everyone else thought ED-E was a girl too. And there's a better reason for why No-Bark is unlikely to be the Chosen One, which is that
Not 100% conclusive of course but I think it makes it unlikely.
Marcus mentions him and says that they went their separate ways when Marcus headed east, but he had "a feeling it turned out all right in the end".

Man, after all this time I'm still finding new things in this game that make me laugh. Came across Big Beard and Little Beard earlier :lol

so many of the clothes in this game are so fucking ugly. like any wasteland/merc outfit. the new clothes are sick, like the courier or prospector clothes. but everything else is like bethesda got really drunk and watched mad max and decided to go one step dummer
does anyone honestly wear any of that shit? basically the huge amount of crap they ported from 3

Okay, I'm getting Lonesome Road and Crysis tomorrow. Maybe GRA, too, if I get another 500 MS points-pack. Got a bit tired of Gears 3, so now's the perfect time to finish my Courier's tale.

Finally beat it. 71 hours was my total I think. What a great game. Easily one of my favourite of this generation and a worthy sequel for the Fallout universe.
For the ending choices:
Oddly enough, after all that playtime I'm itching for more Fallout. Might pick up the GOTY version for FO 3 (lost my copy in a move last year) and replay that...
I already can't wait for the next game now that I've experienced everything in the series (it's a given that there will be a 4...right?).
For the ending choices:
I went with Mr. House, though I'll probably reload and see the NCR ending. Fuck the Legioon :lol. The ending battle was cool, though I was hoping the scale would be somewhat larger. But it was so fucking awesome having the Enclave Remnants show up and help. They're pretty bad ass with their insane weapons and armor.

There are dead ghoul bodies all around that have energy weapons on them. Off the top of my head Goodsprings Cave, the Coyote Den a little ways to the north of Nipton, and near the Legion Ambush party on the road from Nipton to Novac.
You also could do a pretty long quest line with the Brotherhood of Steel and have their shop open to you

If you have maxed Science or Lockpicking you can grab a nice unique plasma rifle from the REPCONN Headquarters, it's just northwest of the 188 Trading Post.

With high luck or low intelligence (I think) and some decent science skill you can get through there without the robots attacking you.

Oh yeah I forgot about that which is odd because I was there today. For the record it's a 7 INT check on the middle floor and a 7 LCK check on the top floor. Assuming you do mind robots shooting at you of course

I love the luck check in there. You can also pass the LCK check with a 1 or 2 INT check instead (anything higher and you need LCK).
Worth it for the goods on an energy weapons playthrough. Mandatory, even.

That's why I love this game, I had no idea about the low INT check. I've played low INT characters but never with an Energy Weapons build, so I guess it just never came up.

man i would straight up squeal too, probably pinch myself so hard id sever my arm off
what was it anyway? *#avellone ur so dreamy*
btw playing this with (lore friendly of course) mods is suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch a different experience its almost incomparable. the overall design, structure and writing of the game topped with copious polish and additions from mods make it the true new vegas. it should be a new game, honestly, wow.

Basically, yeah.
I asked if if he could do another dnd game if he'd rather do Planescape or Neverwinter, and then he's like "I dont want to do dnd" and then he listed a bunch of settings he'd like to do, and then I said "RPG Developer: The RPG!" and then he linked me some iPhone game that was basically that.Alpha-Bromega said:

Okay, just finished Lonesome Road. Definitely the best of the bunch, if you ask me.

Not only that, going by memory i think there are 3 skill books there so he potentially could get 12 extra points.jim-jam bongs said:

Eh, I loved OWB at first, but replaying it made me realize it's not all that great. The whole faux-scifi theme coupled with the annoying (and way too tough) Roboscorpions... I dunno, it didn't do much for me.zkylon said:
I'd probably rate it LR > DM > HH > OWB.

IMO, Lonesome Road is amazing for the Elite Riot Armor, but story-wise, for a conclusion of the Ulysses storyline, it kind of fell flat.
Granted, it was really hard to define his relationship to you as a courier to things you had no remembrance of doing, since you never actually did it in game (which would have been AMAZING if they could have had it as a 'trigger' for Lonesome Road to unlock), but all of his conversations just dragged, because I as the courier had never heard or seen or done any of the things he discussed before the start of Lonesome Road. Even a few mentions in the main game about the Divide (at least, I can't recall any) would have at least been a good hook.
Dead Money's amazing for its hook and theme of greed and redemption, and OWB has SCIENCE. Honest Hearts is good, but Zion as a whole didn't seem that fleshed out to me either. Burned Man and random tribals, eh.
It could be that I was just more interested in New Vegas related storylines, i.e. DM, OWB, and LR all having hooks from the main game, even if slightly. HH is just a random side trip.

Game Dev Story is awesome, not surprising that he's a fan. It's interesting from the perspective that it generates this procedural narrative around your game company without being really obvious about it, so the end result is that after 20 years you have this detailed company history which you could easily weave a story out of.
Oh and DLC: DM > OWB > LR > HH
But in isolation they're all better than anything else I played this year.

I recall one. It's in Primm, when you're asking Johnston Nash about the original Courier Six (i.e. Ulysses). He says "I hope a storm from the Divide skins him alive!"Metroidvania said:
But yeah, I do agree on some points you made there. It felt kinda weird having Ulysses be pissed at the Courier for something the Courier has no recollection of doing, at all.
But I just love the atmosphere in the divide. It's not post-apocalyptic, it's apocalyptic.
Could be, only played it once, but i thought it was often hilarious and full with content, and i didn't mind the radscorpions so much (melee char + blue axes + perk that makes melee weapons do knockdown on critical hits).Blue Ninja said:
I thought the fact that it's an unknown "quest" you didn't quite remember to fit really well into the whole theme of LR. Random, meaningless fetch quests are an integral part of most quest-based RPGs and you barely even think about them and what they mean to the world. Most of the time we simply complete the quest, move on and never look back. How the theme of player curiosity and OCD completitionism is presented in DM and then reinforced in LR is the big triumph of the NV DLC.Metroidvania said:
Due to low funds, I was only able to get Lonesome Road yesterday. Finished it today. Bittersweet moment. I'll miss NV. Though there is joy in knowing there is so much content in NV, going back will always be a pleasure.
Hope Obsidian make more. More Fallout, only a good thing.

Just got a 600MB update for New Vegas currently downloading...No idea what it's for though. The only DLC I have is the Courier's Stash, and those items were already ingame.
Might be from the mod I have though: Project Nevada perhaps?

Pressure cooker is a junk item found in and around kitchens. I think you'll have one in the Lucky 38 suite's kitchen, even.

1. Try to raid empty homes and look around the stove/kitchen area. The closest I can think of would be Field's shack which is right near the road to Nellis.
2. If your sneak is good enough, then get some small weapons to sneak in. Otherwise, recruit Veronica at the 188 Trading Post and Rex in the King's building in Freeside. If you really want to do it by yourself then try running out of the casino and letting the robots deal with them. Although I'm not sure if that will work.
3. Yes man IMO, but there are varying opinions about this.
I have a question for the stealth players. Is it possible or at the very least fun to play stealthily while having partners? I'm around level twelve and I haven't even entered New Vegas yet, so I don't know if there are any stealth oriented partners in the future. So far, I've met
. I kinda like the idea of having partners, but I also like being stealthy, and some of them are really loud to the point of playing jingles when they spot someone. So far, my partners have been obscenely powerful to the point that I don't do much fighting at all. I feel more like a Pokemon trainer standing in the back while they charge forward.
Lily in that snowy Jacobtown area, and I'm not sure if she's a good stealth partner just yet

Part of my epic roadtrip over the last 3 weeks involved an excursion to Zion. I admit I was a bit inspired by Honest Hearts and wanted to see the place for myself. Breathtaking is an understatement and HH doesn't near do Zion National Park justice. Such a beautiful place with just amazing scenery. Small pic of me walking near the Virgin River. Now its time to make a new character and do HH all over again.
Problem with companions is that they often start shooting as soon as you get into the [caution] state, alerting everybody else of your presence. Stealth is basically doing one hit stealth kills so there's not much use for companions for the sneaky approach._Isaac said:
So bottom line, get them for their stories and dump them your extra weight but i wouldn't bring them over for stealthy missions. Haven't tried giving them silenced guns but i don't think it'd do much.

Fallout newbie here, just entered Primm.
Just wondering if these "Mojave Express Delivery Orders" have any significance?
Specifically 4 of 6.
It looks about the same as the "6 of 6" one except for the difference in package contents.

there is joy in sucking dick
Made a new character that specializes in Melee. Its pretty awesome. Though enemies with even a bit of DT can be a bit of an issue (I'm at level 11 right now). I see there's a perk that alleviates this though.
