Is there a BoS ending or not? I don't believe so, but I don't know.

Pretty sure it's just House, NCR, Legion and Yes Man.

Btw, has anyone blown up the BoS bunker yet?

You can blowz it up? I'll have to try.

If you've ousted the original Elder and then blow it up, you can't get Veronica to follow you any more.

bleh, I'm gun focussed anyway. Boone will help me through.

Veronica is far better than Boone, especially when you give her Power Armor and after she leaves the BoS. Beware Deathclaws, they're still one-hit-kill on her/anyone.

The BoS are awesome though, so make sure to attack them in waves so you can make trips to the P Suite to store all the armor and weapons you loot.

If you don't loot, then there's something wrong with your brain.

You can't wear the armor if you hadn't had the training. If you kill them before you got the training, then looted the armor, you're screwed.

Obviously..

So you do the quest(s) and then kill them + loot then blow it up then get love from the NCR and get rich off the armor.

you could get salvaged power army out of the NCR hideout/safehouse. No training needed, though, worse protection.

Not even worth pointing out, Scrazz. It's so terrible - both practically and in terms of how shizzle it looks.

You're better off just getting Ranger Combat Armor.


Oh yeah, I SWEAR TO GOD that the JURY RIGGING perk is the most useful perk that ever existed.

Fixing SMGs with pistols? YES! Fixing RCA with NCR [regular armor variant]? YES!

Edit: Fixing helmets with cowboy hats? YES!

I'm going to get this game eventually I know, but I am probably going to get Red Dead Redemption first. Fallout 3 was awesome, but I heard that in New Vegas, you can't really free roam like you could in Fallout 3 because a pack of deathclaws will show up. Is this true?

No. There's much more freedom in NV - no more "you have to go underground to get anywhere" rubbish. There's still plenty of underground places to explore - generally with radiation - but it's not a major issue.. unless... like me... you get 948 rads in Vault 34..

Worth it though for "All-American" (btw theres a medium safe in there somewhere with like 10 rad-xs and 10 rad-aways, makes it far more easy)

I blew it up during my Legion game. I ended up killing just about everyone and everything that game...

^ Fun stuff. It's still annoying, especially in F3, that you can't kill children. Some of them are just so annoying.

I always wondered, what happens when you get a maximum of rads? You just die? Or do you gain an arm out of your arse or something?

PC will die

AT-rifle?

I'm guessing Anti Tank rifle?

So was I, Scrazz, but I ain't ever come across an Anti-Tank rifle in the game -at least not named as such. The only tanks I've ever even seen were in Operation: Anchorage anyway.

Anti tank rifle aren't only used to kill tanks with. House dies equally.

I've never coma across one either, you'll have to show me the location.

really?, i thought it was pretty common weapon in late game?

its sometimes carried by NCR rangers

wowwow what? You mean those fancy-shwancy sniper rifles some BoS carry?

gauss rifles?
nope

Anti-tank rifle? Doesn't exist with that name, that I'm aware of.

But, there is a anti-material rifle

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Anti-materiel_rifle

It's the 3rd highest damage per shot weapon in the game.

I'm planning on getting myself the Alien Blaster at some point.

hay is there any point of me staying with the bos, because i just killed all the NCR dudes in the solar panel base

Kill the NCR if you want, but there isn't a BoS ending as far as I'm aware. But still do the BoS quests, as they're mostly quite easy, and they're a really easy way of getting expensive loot. Sneak-shots are your friend.

Yep, only 4 lousy endings.

The more I play this game the more I enjoy fatigue weapons, for some reason they make it incredibly easy to kill robots and watching a ghoul drop after whacking them is pretty satisfying.

As far as the deathclaws are concerned there's an area to the north of Goodsprings that has a deathclaw nest there. It makes it hard to go directly to the Strip without doing the main quest, but if you're sneaky enough you can get there although I doubt you'll make it.

In general its not so much that you can't free roam its just that there are strategically placed high level areas.


Its an incredibly fun game overall; Golden Boxing gloves work magic, killed House with a shovel, killed Yes Man with a shovel, robbed the Silver Rush(no casualties either), destroyed the BoS without getting power armor training(who needs it anyways?), got my buddies Boone and ED-E, karmic good, and rocking out in the wasteland.

I did notice one glitch though, I had been doing quests in the strip for awhile and then started to do some freeside quests. It was all fine and dandy until I had to kill the bounty hunter the Atomic Wrangler had hired. I went to go back to the strip and the fething doors were locked. I had to kill the securitrons to get a key and now there are no securitrons in the strip.

I just had an interesting thought... What happens if you kill House, Ceasar, Yes Man, and the NCR guy before you finish the game?? Will you be perma stuck in Vegas with no way to end the game? Hmmmmm.....
