Can you? Some of them (e.g important characters)
woud just fall down and get back up right?

You can't permanently kill yes man and the legate takes the place of Caesar for the legion ending.

I think that if you only have one person remaining then that person becomes an important character. Plus I think the NCR guy can only be seen once you're already heading down the NCR path and only becomes unimportant if you're doing Caeser's quest line.

Killing House and Yes Man was a bit tricky, you had to do Yes Man's quest to the point of killing House and then kill Yes Man before finishing it.

They're the Holy Frag Grenades of Searchlight!

Ya that was soo funny when I found them. Have you found Timmy yet? It was hilarious.

I'm mad that the guy who knew about Monty Python in the video didn't get the 'Romanes Eunt Domus' reference. For the sake of those on here who do not get the reference as well.

Ah, now I remember that..

I guess this shows that you really should pay attention in language classes.

The guys who made that video are idiots for not liking Monty Python and the Holy Grail. And wtf? How the feth is Life of Brian one of the "lesser" Monty Python movies?

Do the holy frag grenades do anything extra? Are they more powerful or what?

Hmm, insta-kill mini-nukes that you can throw... YES, the Holy Frag Grenades are amazingly fun. Throw one in a room then shut the door for a great waste of a grenade, albeit a hillarious one.

Just because it seems to be hard to reproduce, did I see someone get their torso punched off?

It really looked like it.

I think I need more points in unarmed.

Maybe their torso vaporized, had that happen to me on a few occasions.

To anyone who wants to know, the hooker outfits are not outfits. Apparantly the 'outfit' is an actual skin, so no you can't dress like a hooker unless you mod the game on PC.

I cleaned out Bloodbourne cave. Wasn't all that hard a fight, the only problem was keeping Veronica alive. Took a good few times before I managed it without her dying. Admittedly, I had ED-E with upgraded weapons, a modified Plasma gun and Power Armor and was drugged-up on Med-X and Psycho.. and I'm about Level 22..

..still wasn't a hard fight..

Chinese Stealth Armor anyone?

I believe only two exist in NV and they're at Hoover Dam, no?

Yep, I got them both. One I keep to wear, and the others at the lucky 38.

Who else can't stop themselves from stealing in this game? If I could pickpocket a Deathclaw I would, and does anyone know if you can kill the Caeser's Legion kids?

You can't kill kids, under any circumstance. I also steal everything, it's great fun, especially putting something in someones pocket...

Yeah, stealing is the best. But if you can't open something just use the unlock command. Shizze, I know.. but if it gets you what you want, then you shouldn't be complaining.

Commands also allow you to have a very easy way of getting XP and money. Kill Van Graff guards, sell their armour, resurrect them, repeat until bored.

I'm using the PS3, take your commands and go cheat elsewhere. You cheater, and from now on whenever you accomplish anything that makes you feel really, really good just remember that you cheat and should feel bad.

Sissy.

Bah, console commands are great for starting massive battles, that was the only fun I found in it anyway... Its always been more rewarding for me to play the game as it was intended, not just making myself max in every stat, take all available weapons, and be "LORD DEATH OF MURDER MOUNTAIN!!!"

The Dead Money xpac is available on Steam now. Played through some of it last night, hasn't been particularly challenging yet, but im lv30 and im still pretty close to the begining of the xpac. Just a warning for those who get it, you get stripped of your gear early on and idk if/when you get it back.

I thought it was fairly challenging with Hardcore mode turned on. You're being poisoned pretty much the entire time.

All of your gear gets put into a chest at the enterance to the bunker where you are knocked out.

Also, save some of Elijah's stuff, Veronica gets a perk if you show her something from him. Can't remember what it was. Either a recording thats on the computer in the bunker, or his robe. Or both.

Bah, stupid glitchy game!

When i did the there stands the grass quest, as i detonated the gas ED-E was stuck outside and was glitched out of existance, with all my unique weapons.

Ever considered reloading an autosave? Admittedly, it took me a billion (6 or something..) attempts to get out with Veronica and ED-E. First attempt was hilarious.

"Oh hey some fire, no worries I have power armo-aaaaaaargh!"

Much fun, looking back on it. At the time it was a real bitch though.

Does anyone know how to make a good melee character?

I was thinking Survival+Melee, and then Canibalism. Maybe Rad Child, too.

You want unarmed and melee, there's a number of perks that require one of the other, but work for both. Make sure you grab toughness perks (all three of them plus vault 34 armor make a good substitute for power armor, and let you stay lightning fast) and uh... whichever perk it is that increases your speed in light armor (I forget its name).

Forget stealth, the three or 4 times you really need it use a stealth boy, but for the most part you take less damage charging forward at full speed.

Drugs are critical to any short range type, whether its submachine guns or axes. Outdoorsman and science (especially science) are really good skills to have, so that you can craft the good gak. The perk that lets you make special kinds of nuka cola is relevant here (even more DT).

Oh, and if you're playing hardcore avoid taking melee type companions, real easy to hit them on accident.

Alrighty, bit of threadnomancy here, but I reckon it's appropriate.

Been trying to get the mod for F:NV that basically turns the game into 40k working, but I'm having trouble.

For the mod, check here: http://www.moddb.com/mods/warhammer-40k-conversion

Basically, I downloaded it the other day, unzipped it, and I've tried putting the mod file "data" in various places in my Fallout: New Vegas files - exactly by the book for mods - and yet nothing. The only other thing I could do is replace the original NV 'data' file (with a suitable backup, of course) - this however doesn't seem like it would be the correct thing to do.

Anyone else got the mod, and more importantly, anyone else got any ideas on how to get this thing to work?
