Lexx Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Blah, now I saw a fixmod for "I put a spell on you" on newvegasnexus... Would be cool, if I would have found it few hours earlier.

entrerix Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 you can kinda sorta not really even as much as mrs. bishop, romance the owner of The Thorn. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

LadyCrimson Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Yes, I can't imagine why it takes me so much longer than average to get through a game...I can literally spend hours doing stupid things. .....I really wanted to make a video dropping the entire possible 1280+ off the big dinosaur statue but after dropping 100 in the room I got tired of clicking in the menu to command game to drop one by one (you then exit menu to let them all drop at once). If you choose 'all' it just drops one dino labeled with the number, instead. Bah. “Things are as they are.

Deraldin Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I wasn't able to get to the monorail in time and it pulled away just as I arrived I figured it wasn't possible to actually disarm it. It's definitely possible as I managed to defuse the bomb on my run. I used SCIENCE! Basically what I did: 1. Listen to the speech from the spy. 2. Go to the monorail. 3. Disable bomb. 4. Report to Hsu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tale Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) If you loot the spy, you get the code to defuse it automatically. Also, how the heck did I never find this "The Thorn" place before? Edited October 27, 2010 by Tale "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Aram Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Somehow I got it in my mind that I needed to rescue Benny--the sneak him out option was either bugged or never intended to work, so I decided to do it the hard way. I cleared out the town around the boat to the fort with a silenced sniper rifle without anyone ever seeing me. Then I blasted my way up to the tent with a shotgun. I step inside, immediately headshot caesar from across the tent with one shot, turn and run like hell while 18 guys with gunfists chase me in a circle while I grenade launcher them until they're all dead. I haven't seen Benny since so I assume the developers didn't expect many people to go to all that trouble. Don't know why I did either. Something about the guy won me over.

HoonDing Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Well, FO3 just doesn't tag a name on every random shack and burnt out caravan. I just wish FO:NV had a better manual. There's no perk list so I had to waste one perk on Intense training already to get my Perception to 6 (started out with 5) to be able to get important perks later on. I should've also dumped CHA completely and started out with 6 STR, but whatever. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorophx Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I just wish FO:NV had a better manual. There's no perk list exactly, man. not only that, but SPECIAL doesn't seem to affect combat (except VATS), at all. I have 10 AGI and 5 STR but I don't think there's gonna be a big difference in combat if I go for, say, 6 AGI and 6 STR (6 seems to be the magic number for perks) and have 3 points left over. also, a lot of useless perks, they should've made it every 3/4 levels and left the Gifted trait in the game. I'm lv 29 now and some of the perks I took I did so only because it felt wrong to not take anything. maybe this is the reason there's so many "filler" perks. to satisfy the Beth fan boys. what I don't like is that this game doesn't encourage "builds", you can play through with almost any setup. this was not the case in F2. makes me a sad panda Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

Apparently every location had something interest in Fallout 3 which is something I've never noticed in my playthroughs... Exactly what I think. I just can't believe what bull**** they write and it drives me crazy. Fallout 3 got a ****load of boring and repitative dungeons with *nothing* valuable inside. Stimpaks, ammo, same guns all over and over again. There was no need to ever enter one of those damn dungeons. While I agree that many caves in the New Vegas gameworld seem to look pretty empty, it's still not as bad as in Fallout 3. Man, I was exploring the new vegas sewers few hours ago and it was so much more fun than any dungeon in Fallout 3. Especially because I got kind of a reward item for it as well, which is not that common in the gameworld. New Vegas' gameworld > Fallout 3's gameworld. It makes more sense in any way, looks better and is more logical. Plus the game doesn't throw lulzy **** at you every 10 meter. But maybe that's the point... the people at the Bethsoft forum want to have lulzy **** all around.

The gunplay is just not fun for me. Worse twitching than in Counterstrike when human enemies are involved, who basically charge to the player character, then dance around like morons. But at least the healing over time makes it a bit more exciting, especially when being swarmed by packs of nightstalkers or radscorpions. A melee/unarmed build could be fun, though.

WorstUsernameEver Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Finished NV today. Sided with the Yes Man. That Legion dude at the dam was one tough mother. I convinced him to go back East just with words. He almost seemed to admire my Courier. Fun dialogue. As for what Lexx said, I mean, I understand part of what the guys there said, but those 'stories' that Bethesda told through the enviroment weren't as prevalent as they make it sound, and so wasn't the handplaced loot (most of it was really generic). Plus, there's plenty of little locations like that in New Vegas too, like the Crashed Highwayman, though fortunately, the bulk of the map is made by locations tied to quests. I'm somewhat puzzled by Obsidian including a large section at west that basically is fenced by invisible walls and contains no locations though.

Yeah but you have to wonder why they introduced it in the first place. Plus, most of those mountains would be easily climbable without the invisible walls. Empty space left there for DLCs?

Lexx Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) I somehow doubt this. I'll guess it was just a good place to cut off rest of the map. It also is a lot better than straight invisible walls like in Fallout 3, imo. Feels more natural that way. But I wouldn't have anything against it, if DLCs would add / fix / change stuff in the game world, without adding some new places where you have to travel to. There are still enough places in New Vegas, where locations could be more flashed out. As example, all these locations where few npcs are running around and only one has a limited dialogue. Locations like west side militia or aerotech office park, etc. Edited October 27, 2010 by Lexx "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
