Hopefully Kal Sharok is in the game. That seemed like an interesting location from what was written in-game. Tevinter city would be interesting as well.

So I was going to investigate the Silver Rush for Cass who was getting impatient with me delaying to acquire evidence; the guard asked me to leave behind all my weapons at the door, which I didn't exactly protest against since my character has 100 Speech, but then upon entering some guy thanked me for bringing Cass to him, a previously unknown quest updated (lolwut?) and suddenly everyone wanted to kill her and me. Hence out-of-the-blue I was caught unarmed in a firefight with 8 goons or so. The only that was missing, was the door locking behind me, Alpha Protocol-style. I had to run outside, where my guns magically re-equipped and killed everyone upon re-entering (the goons mostly carried energy weapons, which thankfully suck balls in this game).

I lost ED-E's entire inventory (tons of ammo, unique weapons & some armour) when he returned after turning him in for his quest. I raged. About gambling: has anyone managed to win anything with roulette? My high LCK character can easily win tons of money with slots or blackjack, but with roulette it doesn't seem to work.

Veronica with Pushy is even 'worse' than Boone. At the end of her quest I got ambushed by several BoS Paladins wielding gauss rifles & gatling rifles, and she killed them all in two hits basically. Only deathclaws can hurt her now, since their attacks ignore DT.

Because defused bombs aren't supposed to go off. Especially if the quest journal mentions you've succesfully defused the bomb.

Wait for the FO3 Restoration Mod.

Apparently if you had talked to the mole in the tower previously, the monorail will blow up no matter what you do. Needs to be patched.

I ran into the monorail quest bug. Reloaded ten times and the few times I managed to reach the monorail in time and defused the bomb, it still exploded. R00fles!

Exploration is pretty danger-free in NV if you have ED-E and Boone/Veronica. But the game did give me quite a fright when I wandered into Dead Wind Cavern.

Grim Reaper Sprint perk was massively overpowered in FO3, it's good that it's changed. But energy weapons are way too weak against anything that wears armour. The laser rifle cannot even penetrate leather. Anyone know whether the weapons & armour of companions degrade in NV (I believe they didn't in FO3)?

Most level 20+ perks suck, hence one might as well pick Intensive training. Not to mention, some people started with STR 3 characters, thinking that no way in hell a pistol or rifle would require 6 STR (or more, see the AM rifle) to wield with maximum efficiency.

Chronic Exploritis.

High INT isn't necessary unless you're someone who wants to max out all skills on one playthrough. Put it below 6 for the occasional laughs, my character has 2 INT and does fine with mentats, skill books (of which there are plenty) and magical clothing. I use VATS if I'm not sniping because the regular gunplay is uber-twitch otherwise, and I cannot stand it.

It's a long weekend, so maybe I'll be able to finish FO:NV in time before the Dragon Knight saga is out here (5 November).

Isn't that the girl from Borderlands?

Is there any way to get to the area West of the Mesquite Mountains/Mojave outpost? I cannot climb across the mountains and the exit gate of Mojave outpost requires a key.

Is it possible to go beyond "Liked" in Goodsprings?

Looks more like an ogre to me. Trolls are supposed to be big and hairy. And you can only kill them permanently with fire.

I found a laser rifle in the trailer park of Nipton. But as for plasma weapons in the hands of raiders... I'd expect the BoS to rush out and rectify that little problem (then again, they were also defeated by the NCR, which is just pathetic). In FO2/FO3 plasma weapons were only avaible from the Enclave, IIRC.

Cleveland is ideal if FO4 will be set in Chicago (which it will probably be). It's a bit too far off from NV. Fallout New Vegas: the Top, set in Topeka, Kansas; now that would be ideal. Or hell, just take the setting to Mexico.

Since FO3's first DLC was in Pittsburgh, may I suggest Cleveland as the setting for the first DLC to NV?

Both laser rifles & plasma rifles should have a way higher DAM than they currently have in the game. Consider that in real life, Nd-YAG lasers are used to cut metals, and the beam of a laser rifle in FO is more powerful than the Nd-YAG. And plasma just burns through everything, that's why it is encapsulated into a very high magnetic field in tokamaks. In my opinion, energy weapons should be way more powerful, but also much more difficult to find (I got attacked by Powder gangers in the NCRCF wielding plasma pistols, for instance).

I'm still waiting for the Multi Companion mod.

At long last, some long-awaited "non-exaggerated" gameplay (en fran

It seems to me you temporarily lose your disguise if you repair it with another one. This happened to me in the beginning of the game with the Powder gang.
