Does Boone have the Sniper, Better Criticals & Commando perks or something? Compared to him, Cass doesn't kick so much ass with a rifle, even with This Machine more often than not she needs quite a few shots to kill things. I'm also suspecting Cass has the Cowboy/Gunslinger perk, since with a Hunting revolver or .44 magnum she seems to be way more effective.

One can't be too picky. Though unfortunately a threesome with Fisto was not possible.

Does the game ever explain the arcane messages to the "Sixth Courier" spread across the Wasteland, not to mention why the courier in Primm that was originally going to do the job, freaked out and cancelled the job when he noticed the main character's name on the list? I was expecting some plot twist, but it's just not coming.

Maybe it's because I'm not a native English speaker myself, but I saw nothing wrong with that piece.

So was Vault 11 supposed to have a grand revelation? I found the thingamajig for the BoS, but got so annoyed with the companion AI that suddenly went berserk as soon as I had entered the Vault, not to mention not being able to find a way through the Vault's labyrinthine depths due to the horrible PipBOY map, that I left. I swear the stupid PipBOY wanted to me to clip through a wall to reach a corridor.

I'm greatly disappointed by Wayne Newton in the game. He doesn't even reach Three Dog's heels. But in general, the radio in NV is sorely lacking. Enclave Radio never got old for me in FO3, and it even made sense that Eden's propaganda & "America the Beautiful" were on an endless loop. Same goes for Agatha's station.

Personally I find the Denerim parts before the Archdemon way worse than the Fade or the Deep Roads. Also, Howe's estate. I savoured the very few parts of the game where I could skip combat, especially that part where it involved selling Elves into slavery.

Best ME2 ending is where Shepard and only Zaeed survive. That way it fits with his old war stories where he always comes out as sole survivor.

Wait, what? Who was she in ME2?

Reinforced leather armour looks alright, combined with sunglasses & first recon beret.

Claudia Black.

I have the feeling Caesar will end up with a Holy Hand Grenade in his pocket.

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.
