There is no good in Killing Cazadors. The loss (lethal poison) is more than the benefit (XP and dem Sting)

Nevada Skies makes the scenery quite dark during nights and inside. The Pip-Boy light (long Tab press) is absolutely necessary. But you still cannot see further then maybe 3m during the night. And you will miss some objects inside withough the lightsource as well.
Also together with ENB makes light sources (and fiery weapons, such as Saturnite Fist Super-Heated, Shishkebabs, also all small control, alarm lights, etc.) have an awesome glow and contrast. Together they really change a lot how this game looks.
Those and the Ojo/Poco Bueno Texture packs.

Regarding monsters, many types ae rather... territorial and limited to certain areas, rather then spread all over the place. Makes perfect sense for me.

Damn, Nevada Skies really make it that hard to see in the dark!? Makes me wish my laptop could run the game. I can just imagine visiting Camp Searchlight, too bad ghouls don't do much damage.

  But you have to kill all the things.  Antivenom is plentiful later on, and cazador poison gland is useful for crafting poisons.

I can't play games with dark dungeons because light-dark contrast gives me migraines, so I hope they never go that way for the base game.

The problem is that your pipboy is not nearly enough of a good light source for how dark it can become with the mod at times.

[Haplose]

That is a bit of a problem, yes. Not being able to see more then maybe 3m ahead sucks badly when outdoors. This is amplified by the fact that I always use ENB-based mods and sadly they are not compatible with Night Vision visors (they simply don't work). It's much better inside (but you will miss some objects/items without Pip-Boy Light - which compromises Sneak). In practice I basically only travel outdoors during daytime.

The dark nights did annoy me a bit, but when I tried turning Nevada Skies off, I was terrified how bleak and bland the game looks without all the glowing, high contrast light sources.

Without the graphic mods, the game's graphics are barely passable (mostly due to strange choices in regard to game lighting, shadows and color palette), with them it can sometimes rival Skyrim.

The one problem I had with FONV - and the reason I still prefer FO3 even though NV has better writing in some respects - is that we're basically given a character that is a complete blank slate *except* for the fact of being inclined to stick his/her nose into dangerous political conflicts no matter what.

The first time I played NV, I thought of my character as someone who's very ethical and altruistic, but with more of a "small-picture" outlook and distrustful of authority - quests like helping the ghouls launch their rocket or busting Joanna and the other prostitutes out of Gomorrah were more appealing to her than, say, confronting Caesar directly or recruiting half the Wasteland to fight for one side or the other. Eventually, I had to just give up on this since the game wouldn't advance otherwise.

Also, while OWB was amusing for a while, I found the "wackiness" to be a little over the top. I mean, I left my brain in a jar at the end of it.

I'm about 41 hours in and level 20.

Having a great time. I love it...so addicting and rewarding. I'm sidequesting right now for the most part...did the Kings quests, tasks for the Crimson Caravan and Silver Rush, and then helped Cass beat both after I explored the caravan wreckages. I'm living up in Lucky 13...and I haven't explored a lot of other casinos other then a little of Tops. Have discovered a lot of locations but still have oodles more to find.

I'm having an absolute blast. I'm duel-specializing in Guns and Energy Weapons...with Lockpicking and a Tag Perk Barter focus. I think the writing is great, I like how some quests aren't available based on your skill, and I think there is plenty to explore.

I'm doing a couple more side quests and then I'm headed up river to try and receive the chip. I might do some desert wasteland exploring up north, too. At least a lot more. Taking my time and not rushing, as I tend to do with games. I have a nice cache of loot neatly organized and I'm enjoying having Cass tag along for now. Had Raul follow for a little. I like Cass.

If i find a place to explore I won't explore at the time, I write a note of it on paper so I can come back later. I found a sniper rifle...gold...from the Snipers' Nest overlooking Cottonwood Cove and I love it....great for sniping deathclaws on a ledge near the quarry...and I found a prototype energy weapon on a plane crash down south near the airport. I have dozens upon dozens of different weapons. The faction system is great, really awesome stuff.

I adored Fallout 3, but I like New Vegas a little more.

I started a new playthrough 10 days ago, a well balanced courier on Very Hard difficulty. I have to use so much firepower and explosives to kill some armed dude!

I still don't know how to enter NCRCF without dying? maybe I should return later after I got some levels.

[legion999]

^Where are you dying? Have you tried sniping?

Already killed 5 prisoners on the nearby hill.

The best Rifle I have right now is 'Cowboy Repeater', sniping isn't possible (has the least of effect) unless you have at least the 'Hunting Rifle' one.

I want to do a Hardcore play through. But I dislike micromanaging.

It's not that bad, honestly. The biggest aspect of it that increases micro-management is ammo weight, but even that is reasonable if you only carry ammo that you actually plan on using, not vendoring.

There are a lot of mods that make Hardcore mode hardcorier and for a good reason. It is merely a minor annoyance, unless you're out of water and haven't drunk anything for days

[Kaiser Arian XVII]

It ended up using 3/4 of my medicine and large amount of bullets. I should have just brought the imprisoned Sheriff back to town.. *sigh*

[IllusiveManJr]

Alright, I'm starting a hardcore play through tomorrow.

I decided to upgrade the House's army for potential personal gain. I'm having a rough time betraying Mr. House just because he hooked me up with sweet shindigs. Soon gonna go out exploring the remainder of up north and check out Camp McCarren on the outskirts. Went there once for the Crimson Caravan (which I eventually butchered with Cass) and it seeks they do Vault research. Finally found two vaults....34 & 11. Found the Fatman after exiting Fire Root Cavern...but zero ammo til now. Fun, fun...loving this game.

Hrm, after rerolling DA:O that's definitely another title I need to get into again - if only to don Panzercop armour and kill everything in the name of the Princeps with MG42 in hand.
Definitely check in on the mod-community, nexus especially offers some quality stuff. Even if one could argue that some of it may not fit the scenery all that well, it is still glorious fun.

I have been looking around for a while without success, but is there some mod that allows offing Yes-Man, if only via altering the epilogue-slide of choosing no allegiance in the NCR-Legio conflict? Letting that damn annoying thing and its bots remain in one piece never sat right with me...

I literally just downloaded that mod, no MG-42 sadly but goddamn the armor is sexy.

Dead Money, only reason I play that DLC is for Vending Machine access in the Mohave and the gold bars.

Edit: Just to clarify I'm not complaining that it's difficult. It's just a little boring and lackluster compared to the other DLCs. My interest wasn't really perked (is that the right English word?) until the very end of the DLC. It just feels like a chore compared to say Old World Blues.

One of my favorite games this gen. I liked it a lot more than Fallout 3.

[sympathy4sarenreturns]

The King is an alright guy. The writers did a good job making him likable. I had every intention of blowing his head off with the golden Scout Rifle, but he is polite and friendly.

[IllusiveManJr]

Yeah, I was expecting the King to be some arrogant dick who was going to boss me around and force me to do his dirty work. But he was polite and sensible and I never really got the impression that he wanted to control the Courier in any way.

[sympathy4sarenreturns]

I encountered my first massive bug...but found a temporary fix. After killing a man named McCafferty, I was unable to enter into the Vegas Strip without insta-crashing. Looked it up and had to buy and wear an old cowboy hat...of all things. Thankful I found a temporary solution, but I need to apply some patches.

Hope I'll be good to go.

[Jaison1986]

Heh, I remember my first run on hardcore/very hard. It's weird to say that I loved managing ammo and food on my character inventory? I also liked that open combat is not that much of an viable option. You really need to think of how to approach enemies. And it also makes survival an essential skill.
