LadyCrimson Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 I've stopped picking up every little box of detergent/item in the game, but I still feel like I'm going back to towns every 15 minutes to sort/sell stuff. I don't have time for that. So screw tiny weight limits that drive OCD ppl like me insane....I used GECK to change the base weight number. Much better. Why I like PC gaming. “Things are as they are.

Morgoth Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 I ran into a horrible bug. Whenever I enter Black mountain, I suddenly drop dead. And I don't know why.... What can I do? Okay forget it, problem solved. Rain makes everything better.
RPGmasterBoo Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Got my hands on the 10mm sub machine gun. Feels wickedly powerful, good job on those guns! These jackal gang dudes keep attacking me and giving me good stuff for no reason. Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life

Raithe Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Now the Paladin Toaster.. now that's groovy. Giant Radscoprions in one blow.. Deathclaws in 2 or 3.. with nice explosive fist punches... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
WorstUsernameEver Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Got my hands on the 10mm sub machine gun. Feels wickedly powerful, good job on those guns! Wait til you get a giant radscorpion. Giant Radscorpions are one of those enemies that need high DAM weapons. The 10mm SMG it's pretty much handy for every unarmored enemy even later in the game. Makes short work of Nightkin too.
HoonDing Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 I'm very happy so far with the Ratslayer. Anything unarmored goes down with one long-range headshot. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Kaftan Barlast Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 radscorpions, deathclaws... NONE of them is even remotely as annoying as the Cazadors. Its just a flying bug, but they will kill you dead. I hate them so much.

Starwars Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 It really does feel like the weapons are good for different things which is great. As you say, when clearing out Nightkins in a certain location, I had a really hard time utilizing the weaponry I had relied upon previously up until that time. But once I started using higher DPS weapons (think it was the 9mm submachine gun I had at the time), things became a lot easier. Of course, that also made me burn through almost all my 9mm ammo. My main complaints so far regarding leveling: 1) I think I still get waaay too many skill points. At level 16, my three tag skills (Barter, Speech and Science) are at 100. Though that is with Good Natured and 9 INT. But still, I don't think I'll have much problems in capping a skill here and there before the game is over. 2) I started out the game with (I think) 16 in Guns and have played the majority of the game thus far with that number (only started raising it just a little bit after I capped my tag skills). But I have used guns just fine and they feel very effective. I have had zero problems with accuracy or damage against most foes I encountered so far. I had expected (well, wanted really) to feel a bit more gimped in that department with such a low skill. Granted, I'm sure there will be a difference against the tougher foes like Deathclaws or Cazadors (who eat me up) but I had hoped for more of a challenge against the more "common" enemies as well. Maybe I'll try raising difficulty to Hard next time. Loving the game so far though. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Morgoth Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Is it just me or was the Power Fist totally overpowered. I didn't put a single point into Melee combat, but could take out enemies quicker with than with a Riot Shotgun. Rain makes everything better.
WorstUsernameEver Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) I too expected more of an impact of weapon skills. They still mostly influence damage, and if you miss the requirements for weapons, the sway is mostly comparable to having a crippled arm. It's something that may need some GECK tweaking for next playthroughs (or could have been tied to difficulty.. as far as I can see, difficulty works the same as Fallout 3 but without the XP bonuses/maluses). EDIT: Gotta say though, I'm level 25 almost 26, 7 points in Intelligence and I've only maxed 2 skills. I could have maxed three but I preferred spreading my points on other skills I have been needing so far. Edited October 27, 2010 by WorstUsernameEver
Raithe Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Is it just me or was the Power Fist totally overpowered. I didn't put a single point into Melee combat, but could take out enemies quicker with than with a Riot Shotgun. Yup, the power fists are very slamo-tastic. As I said, wait until you find the Paladin Toaster..that just gimps enemies even more. And as someone said earlier.. Cazadors.. flying insects that are one of the most annoying and deadly creatures you'll encounter on the wasteland.. Although the Sniper Rifle is great if you can spot them from a distance.. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
WDeranged Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) I cleared out McCarran with the Trail Carbine at level 21 last night, it was your typical *BOOM* headshot *BOOM* headshot scenario, good fun I'm also enjoying the standard Sniper Rifle, I can finally take on Deathclaws...at a distance, those Cazadors are vicious though, fast and utterly deadly in a swarm. Edited October 27, 2010 by WDeranged
WorstUsernameEver Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 I found Cazadores to be fairly easy critters.
Lexx Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Single Cazadores are no problem. But if they swarm on you... "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Raithe Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Yup.. They get in close... they move fast so its a pain to shoot them without using VATS..but quite often they get so close that VATs will only show 0%.. so you exit vats..try to take a step back to give some distance.. and another handful of Cazadores are swaming around you ... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
WorstUsernameEver Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Eh, still find them much easier to kill than Deathclaws, even when swarming. Tested this on the Tribal Village and Circle Junction.. one I survived.. the other.. not so much...
sorophx Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 nah, the deathclaws in Quarry Junction didn't give me any hard time, all of them were one-shot kills, but for the Alpha-male and Mother I had to switch to my Anti-materiel baby with incendiary ammo, each took 4 shot to the head to go down. and a handful of reloads due to bad timing and Gannon being a jerk Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe.
HoonDing Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 I bet somebody already made a Dartgun Mod... The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
WDeranged Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 I sniped a lone Deathclaw Young outside the entrance to the quarry last night, as I started to snipe at the ones inside both the matron and alpha male Deathclaws ripped me a new one from behind...I wondered if it was a scripted event but I couldn't repeat it, they certainly didn't come from inside the quarry.
sorophx Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 I sniped them from the Great Khans camp, took out the Alpha first, then the little ones, the game said "deathclaw matriarch (or w/e) is enraged by the deaths of her children", maybe that makes her a lot tougher I don't know. I was hidden the whole time by the way, maybe that stopped them from spawning right on top of me Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

Tale Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) Started up yet another new game last night right before I went to sleep. Dropping my SCIENCE character. He was just a gimmick and I really couldn't see long term prospects for exploring the vaults and various caves with it. New character is Energy Weapons, Science, and Sneak. Basically my standard build for games like this. Goal is to try to play both sides and not piss anyone off too early.

WDeranged Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 New Vegas sometimes feels like a loveletter to modders and forum dwellers, I remember being glad when I heard Oscuro was working on it, it's uplifting to know that a game with so many old school elements is a number one seller these days.
entrerix Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 i coudnt decide what character to do next, a brawler who plays by his own rules, or an evil energy weapon using scientist. so i made both and played each for about 2 hours, i still can't decide 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.
