What do you consider bad grahical glitches. There are items clipping with each other and if you search holes in the ground you will find them but you shouldn't skip this if you think it looks ugly. Just don't get it on console I'v heard that they suck.

Ive finished it on all endings and it is amazing, but not quite as good as fallout 3.

I love the iron sights and companion wheel.

It is a lot longer with a LOT more side quests, and you can choose 4 endings which are actually different.

However it doesn't feel the same as fallout 3.

I always hated the hippi storyline FO3 had. I think the new vegas ending and story. There is no way any game can beat:

I see....

Keep your hads off me you gaddamn tv on wheels.

AAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watched that four times.

This game has been a blast so far. The wild west theme is brilliant and fun. Diversifing your characters is easy and entertaining. FO3 was great but with all the options you can do with your character and story in NV its a major improvment. I want to see what happens with the DLC if the choices you made in the main game greatly affect how things are in the DLC.

Probably not. I'm sure first DLC will be like Operation Anchorage: self contained and a bit pointless. But hopefully gives you power armour training!

Its a fun game. I was watching my bro play when he came down for thanksgiving and he attempted to take down some deathclaws at about level 5. He turned it to very easy and it took him awhile to take out a young deathclaw,

"Don't tell me you're going to try." I said

He just turned to me and smiled before charging off into the quarry.

He runs into an adult deathclaw and does nothing to it and it hits him, taking a third of his health.

"Oh my god!" he shouts as he runs towards the quarry workers. "They'll slow it down he says."

Until the deathclaw one shots a quarry worker and he starts running away.

"They won't chase me after a certain distance right?" he asks.

"No, they gonna follow you till you dead." I say in my best southern boy accent.

He gets killed.

My mission was to dress up as a prostitude and punch out some deathclaws to humiliate him. Unfortunately, hooker clothing is a skin and not an outfit. I can still punch out some deathclaws though, the golden boxing gloves are amazingly strong.

Ya, I'm trapzing around that area right now. Level 20 with two sidekicks and I'm still getting killed. Damn Deathclaws, they basically have power weapons.

Try an anti-material rifle with armor piercing rounds. Works wonders as long as you see them far enough away (ED-E can help with that).

Oh, God, the Deathclaws. I kept trying to clear out that quarry every few levels.

When I finally hit level 30 and still couldn't take them out, I traversed the wasteland looking for a weapon that could. (Stupid me didn't think I needed guns, so the anti-material rifle is a no-go)

I found the YCS/186, loaded it up with Max Charge Microfusion Cells and went Deathclaw hunting. Took them out no problem.

Of course, every trigger pull used up 10 Microfusion cells, but it made very short work of them.

I cleared out the area around searchlight (the area to the east with the Legion camp) before I went to Vegas and now I can't get to the underground place that the chip lets you into..the map just leads me to the boat dock and no entrance...

You're supposed to talk to the guy on the dock, he's the entrance.

He's dead.

Well, then I guess you're stuck with siding with the NCR then. Can't do the House missions, independent missions, or Caeser missions unless you restart.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
If I were you, I would kill House just because. It's the most satisfying moment of the game so far, especially when you hit him with a shovel.

I got a tricked out Gauss Rifle with max charged rounds. It works wonders on Death claws but there's just so many...Damn Deathclaws.

You aren't actually traveling to that dock, you're traveling to a location upriver that you can only reach by taking the raft.

You need to talk to the guy at the dock in order to use the raft.

But, don't worry! If he's dead, you should be able to target the raft in the water and activate it to take you to fortification hill.

Be prepared, things are gonna get ugly.

Anyone know what the special reward is if you finish the game in hardcore mode? Is it just a stupid achievment?

just a stupid acheivement - that's worth 100 points!

I was hoping for some signature piece of equipment like something you got when you bought the game from a certain store. Oh well at least hardcore is fun.

Hmm... using the raft on your own. That's just preposterous.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat as Agnosto. Accidentally became villified with the Legion...now I'm just putting off raiding the fort until I'm damn good and ready to (aka, level 30 with more ammo and weapons than I know what to do with).

there are more than 4 endings
the ending depends on two things
1 who you help near the end
2 you karma

If you want training for Power Armor, just go through Arcade Gannon's companion quest, the reward will be training and 1-2 suits.

My guy is.....socially akward. He only has like 19 speech. Is there a way to convince him to join without a speech check?

There are 4 ways to recruit Arcade Gannon.

1) Pass a speech check of 75
2) Use the confirmed bachelor perk
3) Have a good reputation with the Followers of the Apocalypse. I don't know how good it needs to be, sorry. But, do quests for them, and give them medical supplies to easily increase your rep.
4) Have an intelligence of 2 or less. This should be the easiest to get, just use Fire Ant Nectar and/or Dixon's Whiskey (from Dixon in Freeside). They drop your int by 3 each, so you can drop it by 6 total. If you have a base int 9 or 10... sorry, use methods 1-3.

Also, he won't join if you're friendly with Caesar's Legion. Wear NCR faction armor to get around this.

I've got 10 Intelligence so I guess It's option 3 for me. I've been helping them a lot anyway just not sure what else I can do for them.

Talk to the leader chick. I forget her name, but she has a mohawk. She'll tell you they need medical supplies. You can then give her med-x, radaway, and fixer for a reputation bump. Once it gets to Idolized, she lets you join the Followers. Maybe that's when you can get Arcade?

Just bring one really good weapon so you have room for loot, also bring your friends/followers because they help more often than not. Just remember that for some reason characters won't carry armor that belongs to a faction they don't like(boone won't touch legion armor and ED can't carry any armor).

Also, did you get the Mark of Caeser yet? If not then you can go back to the strip to get it and all your past crimes are forgiven, same with the pardon you can get for the NCR. If you already got them then you're in trouble in terms of changing allegience.

@halonachos: Yeah...got the mark, then villified haha. It was by accident too. I was just tootlin around the mojave when I came across some dead NCR troopers that were apparently carrying supplies. I guess when I looted the bodies, it set off a legion ambush. Well, in all my infinite wisdom I decided killing everyone was a good idea. Whoops. It's gonna be a fun time when I roll through the Fort.

Well at least you won't have to worry about having your weapons taken away at the camp.

Oooh, cool question. Which factions are on your 'to do list' and which have you already done in?

For me I already did in the White Glove Society and plan to get the Omertas, Caeser's Legion, Brotherhood of Steel, and the Powder Gangers.

Just wondering what this game is like? I never played any of the old ones. But I'm lookin for a fun and long adventure/rpg game that doesn't get boring but will take a long time to finish. Not as into the online multiplayer shooting stuff like I used to be, I'm mostly looking for a relax on the sofa kinda game.
