Thanks for the info. I will not skip quests and probably start doing the dlc once I'm near the end of the main storyline. But it's good to know that there is crazy stuff out there.

Had a weird and somewhat unfortunate glitch today that I can't seem to sort out:
What gives? It's got to be some trigger that isn't working properly, but I don't know how to undo it. Should I just roll back to an earlier save? It's only about 2h of progress, and nothing major.
I went to the Fort and killed all the Legion guys (working on the GRA challenges), collected gear after doing so, and then headed to an NCR camp. They attack me. Reload the save before I traveled to the camp and went to a different NCR place, and they attack me. Even on the strip, they come after me. Now, I'm planning on wiping them out anyway, but not until I finish off a few more quests with them. But I'm not wearing Legion gear, I removed all my clothing and put on different clothes and even that doesn't work. Also, NCR no longer shows up on my list of reputations... Legion is villified and NCR was idolized, but now the map locations show neutral and they attack nonstop.

By killing everyone at the Legion Fort it may have disrupted one of the NCR quest lines. I would just roll it back now before you get more than 2 hours of progress in.

Did you wear any legion clothes at any point? I had a bug on one of my save files where upon taking off any faction clothes the reputations wouldn't revert back.
There's a thread for mods: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=426315
The OP of the thread has popular mods and lots of info.
I didn't think I had, but I remembered that I'd put on some armor and repaired it to lower my encumbrance. So I went into my safehouse and put on Legion armor. It said I was dressed as Legion. Took it off, and it said I was no longer dressed as Legion. Went outside, and now everyone is cool again. My NCR rep thing showed up again too. So weird.
I watched these guides and added the most popular mods:

I'm searching the nexus site every day and adding little mods here and there. I'll post my mod list when I'm finished.

Did you have ED-E in your party? I've had NCR attack me once when he was with me.

Pretty sure Water Wendi killed nobody. Not sure if that means he didn't KO anyone/anything, or have any followers do any dirty work. Wendi though, killed nothing, complete pacifist.
Boost your speech and barter, and I think you need PER and INT to be the highest on your SPECIAL (not sure of that, though), and you should be able to pass 90% of the speech checks without fighting people. Also if you do
the Yes Man path, you only need to speak to each faction at the end and tell him to ignore them
The path you take could allow you to skip a lot, too. If you went Goodsprings>Sloan>through the quarry (you sneak by the deathclaws if you take the right side), you can reach the strip at level 1 or 2, and then go from there.
I need to do this at one point. That sounds like how I'd like to play the game. No combat as an option is something I really like. I did join
Yes Man
What gets me is when some call this no more than a glorified expansion. I spent only about 25 hours with it back 2010 and there was a ton I did not see or do. There were just so many games coming out that I never got to give it the proper attention it deserves, but am going to remedy that with both this and Fallout 3 this summer. Just picked both up again with all of the add-ons I missed and am so ready to really dig in deep and take more time to appreciate them. Fantasy will always be my first love, but I need a bit of a break from wizards, warriors and dragons.
*shudders*
There are very, very few games that have anything that can scare me. But those mutants...

Those Vault 22 monstrosities and whatever the fuck those things in the woods next to Sif in Dark Souls. Wolves...cats..whatever. Fucking scary man.

It is a glorified expansion pack, but a really good one.
Nah, more like a content packed full game using the same resources, but with some tweaks and changes here and there. One feels like a real nuclear wasteland, while the other has more of a post-apocalyptic Mad Max/wild west/50's Vegas vibe. They both are full games that compliment each other very nicely. Looking forward to digging into all of the stuff I missed outside of the main quests.

Question, any mods that add more period music to New Vegas? I know this is minor, but I was really seriously disappointed after the developers talked up the '50s theme and all ... only to find .. like, 3 songs in the game, and all of them were on predictable repeat.

I really like the CONELRAD radio station mod. Adds a lot of music to the rotation that certainly was lacking.

Brilliant, thanks!
Completely looted the soda HQ today, took back over 800 bottles. I continued piling them up in my room and had about 650 of them offloaded, and it froze. I can't believe I forgot to save... at least I'm in the casino so I don't have to go collect them again, but that was about 2 hours of dropping items, down the drain.
Time to get back to Vegas. I've played enough Skyrim for a year...
Character creation is always difficult for me. In New Vegas, doubly so, due to incredible variety of possible playstyles, builds, etc.
Hmm. Maybe scientific/diplomatic hero. Feeling happy and optimistic now so i should play a good guy.

At this point with all the DLC and if you build out the right SPECIAL you can max every skill in the game.
Have all the DLC but i really can't be bothered making a build maxing out all the skills. Perks are far more important, IMO, and you cannot get them all.
I play a character with personality in this game, i try to avoid power playing.
But which perks really benefit that playstyle? That one that opens an intimidating dialogue option, and... ? Do you just take the ones that give bonuses to looting containers or something?
30 hours into the game. Was level 18 or so. Travelling to the Fort for the House Always Wins II, I get stuck in the environment. Try everything to get out, ended up sleeping in the hope that did it. It was then I remembered sleep = save. My latest save apart from that is 25 hours, level 13.
:*(
:*(
Not benefit but fit. Any science and diplomacy related perks are ok. Won't be a pacifist though, so also taking some perks to augment guns. Also survival perks as i'm probably spending skillpoints in it too. Not sure.
Also, Bloody Mess. Maybe.
Too bad there ain't no online perk planner for New Vegas... is there?
Speech, Science, Medicine are the primary skills, with Barter, Survival and Repair being secondary. Going to use Guns for combat.

Did you try fast traveling to a nearby location? I don't recall ever trying this, but it seems like it should work.
haha, why didn't I think of that?! Thanks!

The last character I played (and my favorite) was an old Enclave scientist, tagged science, energy weapons and speech. He did some questionable things while he was in the service but went East to escape his past and is now trying to atone for his sins.
Redid my bottle-dropping today. 800+ bottles in addition to what was already there. I think there are about 2000 total? Not sure. I wish I had a better means of grabbing screens than my phone, but it's all I have:
When I left the room, there were 53 more bottles on the floor in front of the elevator, and I've found another 30 or so on top of that. I don't know if it's possible to find *all* the bottles in the game, but I have to be fairly close.

A noble quest. Not to put any bad ideas in your head or anything, but wouldn't it be awesome having a massive pile of caps on the other side of the room?
I do have 100k+ and all of the gold bars from Dead Money that I could sell... but the way it's making the 360 lag so hard, I wonder if it would freeze up at a certain point?

Looks like a room belonging to an alcoholic hoarder, lol.

yup. for the record you probably haven't finished Veronica's stuff unless you've played all the dlc.
Oh nice. I replaced the Elder for the Paladin guy. The other one was going to let everyone rot in there. Let's see how it plays out (IF something happens, I dunno, I hope so).
I'm playing the Ultimate Edition on the PS3 and even though technically it's horrible, I still really like the game. Still on the main game, haven't touched the DLC yet. Should I just finish the main game first before tackling the DLC? I believe after finishing the game you can still continue playing, right? Or is it like FO3?
And is it just me or is Boone overpowered? He's a killing machine, wow...

No, you can't continue playing after the main story concludes. It's best to play the DLC before you start the final stretch of the main story. The DLC are not directly related to the story but have references to some of the characters. My recommended DLC order would be Honest Hearts->Dead Money->Old World Blues->The Lonesome Road.
Yeah, Boone is too lethal without mods.

I was wondering if anybody could give me some insight on Arcade's companion quest. I know that he is similar to Boone and you need trust points with him, and I know the quest doesn't trigger until you commit with one of the factions. I'm just wanting to know if I can get his trust points and then dismiss him to the Lucky 38 until I'm on the quest that will trigger him to talk to me. I'm wanting to roll with Cass again for a while but I don't want to get screwed out of doing his quest.
You can do that with any companions, I believe. I'm in the middle of doing Raul's and one NPC I need has mysteriously vanished, and I didn't do Veronica's in any sort of order and came back to her later as well.
I'm more curious to know if there's a way to do this when you're way late-game, I think I did everything that gets trust points from Boone and Arcade without them tagging along. Are those points lost? I'm guessing yes.

Are you looking for Loyal? Sometimes he ends up at Black Mountain for some reason.
As for your question, I think as far as Boone goes you're out of luck. But if I read the wiki right, you can still travel to Arcade's locations regardless if you've been there or not and he'll still comment about them. I'm 115 hours in and he's the only companion quest I have left so I'll be pretty upset if I can't finish it.
I just picked this up for $5 on my PS3. I played (not finished) on my PC before until the part where I
but then I stopped.
Then I played FO3 and loved it. I just don't feel like FNV feels as good as 3. Am I alone in this?
Also, the DLC worth it? $10 a piece is a lot
What kinda content we talking here?
choose what to do with the robots
