If you find yourself bored sometime, and having a few minutes to kill, and really, really want to find all the warheads, (oh, and you have no qualms about cheating to get the achievement (which I freely admit, I don't):



He quick runs through the entire map and shows you where they all are, in just under 9 minutes.

Just finished a replay of Dead Money. I liked it more the 2nd time- could focus on the story more since I knew what I was doing a bit. Still lots of exploded heads.

I'm not getting either Boone's or ED-E's personal quests in this game. I'm wondering if one of my mods is interfering. Boone told me about his wife after we cleared out Caesar's camp, so his approval is up, but no dialogue about Bitter Springs, and none of ED-E's blurbs are coming up.

bump to divert a Skyrim hijack

I'm replaying currently- approaching the end and trying to decide between House and independent. Tough call.

I've started a new playthrough yesterday. Unarmed/Explosives. Will sign with House this time. Had a Vanilla Recon NRA one on launch. Made it to lvl 30 while there were no dlcs out. Got another 30 something, independent with Dead Money and Honest Hearts finished.

@Addai87 won't go the independent route. It's more restricted than some of the other ironically. If you want to save the BoS you have to go the whole NCR plotline till you have to make them sign a treaty. And if you won't do it all the quests are the same as house's.

I once started a Legion playthrough but after seen the lot of this game it was unbearable to find out that the legion questline starts really late in game and has less quests than the others.

ATM I have (due to all the good steam autumn and christmas sales) every dlc (the four story ones and the 3 pre-order kits plus GRA) and am quite enjoying going back to the Mojave.

Meh I don't care about the BoS. They're a useless faction and Veronica is boring. They should have retreated west long ago, not hunkered down. Plus my first game they put that slave collar on me and I'll never forgive them.

Once I play Red Dead Redemption (Shhh... I never played it) I'm thinking of a new run on New Vegas or Fallout 3. Despite whatever anyone else says I prefer 3 over NV, but the wasteland is a lot bigger and has a lot more secrets than D.C.

I'll squeal like a little girl with pig tails if they announce a Fallout 4.

I tried replaying it once, but grew bored after killing Benny. Doubt anything would ever beat my playthrough with 2 intelligence, 10 luck, lesbian Courier.

Meh, I honestly didn't like either Fallout 3 or Red Dead Redemption all that much - not sure what people see in them that's so great.

Actully I agree with you on Fallout 3. NV felt more like an expansion than a game imo.

I would be pleased unless its an MMO, but no girls, no pig tails. Maybe as happy as Shagga with two axes.

If NV is an expansion, they should make all expansions like that. I'm still finding unique locations, haven't touched whole quest lines, and mods only make it better.

I do like FO3, though- hard put which to say I prefer. I love them both.

I found everything then again I picked the world explorer perk lulz. Plus I have it on 360. But reguardless of what its on, with my PC games I always finish the defualt game as soon as possible with all quests and such, before I try mods. Mods are for later on.

Well, we all know that Baldurs Gate 2 and Fallout 2 were just expansions for Baldurs Gate 1 and Fallout 1 as well.

First of all, get to "work". RDD puts GTA IV to shame and is generally awesome. Too bad we'll never get a proper PC port. Even if they decide to port, I *know* it will come with thousands of bugs and performance issues.

As for FO3 vs NV, I don't actually agree with what I've been hearing a lot about FO3 being awful and all that. I quite enjoyed it. I still think NV is superior, but there's definitely no shame in liking FO3. Sometimes it also comes down to what kind of game world you prefer. The wasteland in FO3 has its own charm I think.

That's a bold statement, especially since I'm a huge GTA IV fan and am really not a big fan of Westerns, but everyone speaks so highly of it that I thought it would be time to give it a try.

There are a few reasons why I like FO3 over NV, the setting of D.C., a more personal story that has less to do with the protagonist being special and more about reuniting with his/her family, WAY MORE supermutants, and too many others to count. Still love NV and both are examples of what I would consider to be the perfect game, but FO3 has something about it that NV doesn't. Companion's personal stories in NV are far superior though and so is their leveling system.

I mean really FO3, do we need a class for big guns and small guns? That was so irksome to me the first time I played.

New Vegas is one of the funnest games I've ever played. The folks at Obsidian created a near perfect system for roleplaying. It's a bit better than Oblivion and miles better than Skyrim. I would rate it about on-par with DA:O.

Oh it's just my personal opinion about RDD. I'm not promising it will rock your world or anything. However, I personally enjoyed it much more than GTA IV, and I'm not really normally a western fan either. I wouldn't buy it for the multiplayer though!

I've never had an EW character in FNV.  They were very wimpy prior to the added perks with the DLC.

Now I'm using MFCs for grenades... there's a fine use for that ammo.  <3

I just finished (well very close to finished) my final playthrough. I played a pacisifist Courier who did not kill any people (fast travel was forbidden until after Old Worlds Blues gives you the technology, guns weren't used until he learned how to use one from Joshua and Daniel, and food was the only source of healing). Animals and mutated creatures were okay, but people were off-limits. Since he had the four eyes perk, the guns skill was left to only the riot shotgun (bad eyes) and the broad matchete mainly for the close encounters.

It was a tough playthrough (very hard/hardcore), and it took longer because of school and stuff. I started it when Lonesome Road was going to be released, and I just finished it today (well have yet to fight at Hoover). My Courier did not do any quests that were out of his way from the stretch to New Vegas (he was curious about the city), and he didn't do any quests that inhabitance did outright ask for help (Ghost Town Gunfight). He did not go after Benny, but they crossed paths once he met Mr. House.

Since he was on the pathway to 188, he befriended Veronica, he sympathized with Cass' insistence to keep her father's company so he didn't pressure her (no Cass companion), and he didn't want to kill an old lady just to please that psycho Boone.

The hardest DLCs were easily Lonesome Road (had to change the difficulty to Very Easy admittedly because the Marked Men were too hard to sneak past even with a stealthboy--was running low anyways) and Old World Blues. Whose idea was it to make lobotomites, those harnessed bodies, and marked men people anyways? They are more like animals, but since they were marked as people, I couldn't kill them. Honest Hearts was played as a mission trip for the Followers, Old Worlds Blues as a continuance of Dead Money, and Dead Money was Veronica's idea to check out the Abandoned Brotherhood Bunker. Finally, Lonesome Road was a call from Ulysses right before the final battle for Hoover.

Since House forces you to commit genocide on the Brotherhood, I was allied with House up until his part IV quest. I did not want to kill the Omertas' leaders, so I destroyed their cache and left them alone (disagreed with Cachino and thought it was sufficient). Benny's insistence finally caught up to my Courier and he sought Yes Man. Afterwards, he infiltrated House and gave him back his mortality (Ulyssess agreed with that too since he said he should keep those dreams in his head).

I have about 9 stealth boys from Lonesome Road, so I hope that Hoover Dam will be easier (no, they aren't modded or anything; playing on the PS3). I was actually eyeballing this thread to necro it, but thanks for doing that for me, Addai--pretty good timing.

Yeah, thanks Addai. Good call. I was one of the guilty parties in the Skyrim thread. Just started another NV playthrough (only my second) and just picked up Boone and ED-E. Can't wait to see Big Mountain again.

OH, and I just got mauled by a pack of 5 Deathclaws wandering about aimlessly as I tend to do. I think I killed maybe one. At level 7, with a low explosives score, my grenade launcher wasn't exactly much of a game changer.

Like having access to GRA so early on though...even if I can't afford anything much more than a friggin baseball bat. :-)

And Everest, you sir, are hardcore. I simply am unable to play FO without guns. I dabble in melee and unarmed, but they are hardly my strong suits. Reloading ammo and modding weapons is more my style, but you're playthrough does intrigue me.

So is anyone else a NCR loyalist? I loved taking out the legion with the army and Hoover Dam.

My first character was NCR, but I'm enjoying an independent game much more. I still do some quests for the NCR but basically I think they do not have the Mojave's interests at heart and need to get their noses bloodied so they'll stay home and solve their internal problems through better management rather than expansionism.

@ Barbarossa: I'm just glad to have some FNV discussion again.  :wizard:  I love GRA too, for the variety, but haven't found anything I love more than Ratslayer and Chance's Knife.  I try other things but always go back to those.  For a while I tried Two Step Goodbye and kept blowing up myself, my companions and innocent bystanders.  lol  That's a power fist that causes a body to explode if you get a crit kill.

Yeah, but it's this big war story of which you're collateral damage in the beginning. It's almost like you're presented with all of these factions and asked to pick sides. Couldn't side with the legion, especially since they keep slaves and threatened to do the same to me when I first met them. The rest seem like gangs but the NCR is the only one that seems organized. Even if they don't have the Mojave's best interest at heart, they're the best chance the Wastes have to rejoin society and build a modern country.

Yeah I tend to side with NCR and alley all the factions I can with them, minus the Khans I tend to get them and the Fallowers hooked up for the ending out that way with the whole new Mongol Empire out on the planes, plus geting them to make meds and not just drugs, etc.

I tend to have did much the same in Fallout 3. I guess you can term my "canon" characters as the Rebuilders. I go with the most stable factions, try to stablize and make peace with the others that I can and typically pick things I think will help improve the region. And in terms of Legion, House, Free, or NCR...

Well the Legion history repeats its self and as soon as Ceaser kicks the bucket...not too mention they also are bad for rebuilding, House is just corrupt and petty, Free lands is to me at least one of the worst endings. The NCR is slow, but its possible to change it. And I'ld like to think my guy would have a hand in that.
