^Cool. Say hey to Ulysses for me. Tell him I'll be seeing him soon.

I hate the Nightstalkers in OWB. They seem like they got an HP-injection or something compared to those swarming little bastards in New Vegas. I use an AMR (or explosives if I can catch them all together) on them with glee.

Yeah I set up mine ambushes for them.  BOOM *nightstalker in orbit*

Ah yeah. Do they do extra damage to armor or something? Because mine seems to break all the time against them.

Anyway, off to bed and tomorrow I will start my first Lonesome Road playthrough. Hope it's good. I thoroughly enjoyed all the other DLC so I have a good feeling about it.

It's intense.  A lot of atmosphere in it, though very grim as you might expect.  Also it's combat-heavy.  Hope you got some Stimpaks.

Man...that Shaders, Texture Pack and Project Reality look very compelling. How well do they run? I mean my game's fairly buggy but stable. These look like they'll do my system no real favors in performance.

[Barbarossa2010]

Man, the viglante streak is picking up steam.  Hadn't fired a single shot at a Legionaire for a 100 hours of game time, and then the need just arose:  It was time to tear down the Legion.  What better place to start than with Caesar himself.


Scouting for headshots.  As Cass would say:"Shhh...we're hunting $h!+heads."



Alright, let's do this.


I don't care if you do have a fancy title Mr. Vex; Courier on one side with a riot shotgun and Boone on the other side with a .50 cal = one very bad day.


Nothing quite like bringing fists to gun fight.  Macho slaver dumb asses.  BTW, wasn't it you who said "degenerates like me should be hanging from a cross?"...um...okay.

I simply ran into the tent then set off about 20 things of C4 outside as I ran.

[Barbarossa2010]

And one for Addai:


And...I think we're done here.  "Faithful to Kaiser"...whatever.

Love sitting in the chair.

Really enjoying Lonesome Road so far.

I just went to The Courier's Mile. Wow. All the deathclaws in there can 2 shot me even with Med-X. There's no way I can survive a regular fight against them with just 2 auto-inject stimpaks. Good thing I have so many mines, and my trusty Implant GRX.

The tunnelers are a bit annoying though. They destroy my armor even worse than the nightstalkers of OWB.

The Marked Men are pretty much cannon fodder so far.

Though you gotta give 'em extra points for actually arming themselves with decent weaponry

Tunnelers...yeah.  Didn't want to spoil that little surprise for you.   I like how the enemy's get tougher in OWB and LR, no matter your level.

The Courier's Mile...what can you say?  Only for the most resilient Couriers, huh?

Been hunting any warheads lately?

[termokanden]

Oh don't get me wrong, I love fighting the Marked Men. First they fire a flare at you and soon you have explosive raining down, and actual GOOD energy weapons and guns. They are more fun than most enemies in the game and can kill you quite easily.

The thing is though, I am armed to the teeth after completing the 3 other DLCs. The main thing that makes deathclaws dangerous is the fact that their attacks ignore DT, and my high DT even in light armor is the reason why the Marked Men aren't tearing me apart.

I looove my shoulder mounted machine gun too. Unlike most other heavy weapons (Arc Welder... sigh), it does OK damage per shot.

Edit: Have I been hunting nukes? Yeah, I have. I haven't had much time to play this week but I suspect I will finish this weekend.

Question: I am at level 36 and have NO idea where to spend my last few perks. I am a light armor user and have all relevant energy weapons stuff except Plasma Spaz and Meltdown (bad experiences with the latter, believe me  ). I have enough VATS perks (did not take Gunslinger and Commando since they tend not to work with DLC weapons) The choices I have are:

- sneak perks: I have none so far and am not sure I really care about sneaking. Suppose it can be good.
- lady killer/confirmed bachelor: good but not sure they work against monsters (and all humans are pretty easy to kill)
- living anatomy: +5% against easy enemies? Marginal...
- explosives perks: could be fun, but it seems like a big investmen
- various utility perks: not sure what I would want here

Got any ideas?

[Barbarossa2010]

Yeah, a few:

Explosives: I'm an explosives/guns hound, so I'm more than willing to pump points and perks into something I use all the time and make it all the more effective. Explosives to me, are game changers. Mines, satchels, dynamite, C-4 (OMG, C4!), grenades, grenade launchers/rifles and on and on. I usually mine the hell out of the area around me and force the enemies into ambush or try (try mind you) to catch enemies clustering (by sneaking-yes a always a good place to spend points and perks) and use explosive projectiles on them. Once I've depleted my bag of tricks, and there is anything left standing (and there usually is in the DLCs), then I go to guns.

At this point, I'm primarily using .50 cal explosive rounds with my Anti-Materiel Rifle to kill them with a guns/explosives mix at range. They're extremely expensive, but engagements (outside of ambushes) are usually long over before they even start. Like the Grenade projectile weapons though, they are not for use in close quarters combat. You will kill yourself quickly.

Sneak and perception: These really go hand-in-hand if you're sniping (my secondary favorite). I really like to catch 'em early and unalerted, and like Boone says, let them experience the last thing they'll never hear. I don't normally mess with energy weapons in New Vegas (I did alot in FO3), so I'm not sure how you personally use them (close quarter or ranged focus). If you're an energy weapon user, and Sneak/PER fit into your scheme, then by all means invest something there.

VATS/Critical Chance: If none of the above appeal to your play style, then take all VATS perks and critical chance, to include Luck, because they are just good investments to whatever your character's combat scheme is.

Oh, and if you haven't taken the Jury Rigging perk...do it. I fix all my hi-quality guns on hand with this and end up making a ton of caps, selling primo weapons, and not junk, back to Gun Runners. Unfortunately the Van Graffs are no longer in business (thanks to that sultry little red headed minx who demanded their heads), so energy weapons I collect, go into the Gun Runners system, and of course, it takes some time for them to restock caps.

[termokanden]

I take Jury Rigging at 14 on all my characters, no exceptions. It's a game changer

To clarify, my build is a critical-focused energy weapons build. That means I have 10 luck, Finesse, Better Criticals, and Light Touch. Along with Laser Commander my Hyperbreeder Alpha is just crazy good. Not that I need to save ammo, but this weapon is more effective than I had ever imagined.

Anyway thanks for the suggestion. I think explosives and sneaking might be the way to go.

PS: The Anti-Materiel Rifle is great, but I use its energy weapons equivalent: The YCS/186. This is also a ridiculously powerful weapon. Energy weapons start out pretty bad in New Vegas but they become amazing. The only thing is that you'll be tempted to take Meltdown, and it is both amazing and terrible at the same time. I found it ruined my previous energy weapons build.

If I have extra perk slots I always use them for something that's fun and/or helps define my character rp-wise. Ladykiller/ Confirmed Bachelor will add dialogue options as well, and pretty funny ones sometimes judging by Black Widow.

After my last game I got to love the Thought You Died perk. And really, what a great name. lol

I also add perks that affect crafting, because I love to tinker.  Mad Bomber, for instance, is tons o' fun.

To celebrate completing all DLCs with my current character, I made this:



Question: My character is using one item from each DLC in the screenshot. But what are their names?

Two of them are pretty hard to guess. Give it your best shot though

Modifié par termokanden, 23 juin 2012 - 10:28 .

[Barbarossa2010]

Courier's Duster - Lonesome Road

Dr. Mobius' Glasses - (Guess) - Old World Blues

Daniel's Outfit (Hat) - (Guess) - Honest Hearts

Holorifle - Dead Money

EDIT: Congrats BTW.  A great journey wasn't it?

I just assassinated Papa Khan with a silenced M14 (mod) in his sleep and allied the Great Khans with the NCR. I had no idea it was even possible.

[termokanden]

Ulysses' Duster, but otherwise you got them. You'd probably need to see the back of it to know that though

I did not know you could ally the Khans with the NCR either. Last time I just killed them all.

I think in these kinds of cases the game itself should automatically abolish the pacts.

Aaah, I knew it.  I even wrote down Ulysses first and changed it.  You really can't tell unless you see it from the back.  It was a 50-50 shot. 

Regarding the Khans, I was completely surprised that the option was available.  It centered around Regis, Papa's right hand man.  I didn't remember him being disillusioned with Papa Khan's leadership in my previous playthrough (honestly, I don't think I even cared all that much).  Also, I think you only notice certain things depending on what quest you have active (if you even have one active).

I just went through the Omertas and Gomorrah, and it played out differently than my first playthrough.  When I actually looked through the guide, I was amazed to see how many different quests (even outside of Yes Man, House, Legion, NCR) intersected through them.

Ah well, finally on the down hill slide of the main quest in this playthrough.  Readying up for the DLC playthroughs soon.

Wow seeing all these awesome mods I may have to rethink getting the game for the PC, luckily the Ultimate Edition is out and I don't have to buy the DLCs all over again.

[termokanden]

Oh wow. I just tried out the Compliance Regulator for the first time. I have had it for ages but never used it.

I went to Quarry Junction to test it. Imagine a bunch of Deathclaws lying on the ground in a very unnatural position. Yep, the weapon sure works. I don't see how melee enemies can even touch you if you have that gun. Plus it looks hilarious when you zap things. They just sort of slowly keel over.
