I'm an idiot. There are so many threads dedicated to New Vegas, there's no reason fo rme to start a new one. Please for forgive me for starting a new one. I am enjoying it, however, thank you. Mods feel free to close to delete this topic as extraneous.

Hah... we are sooo going to leave this thread open! : :p

 

Edit to add: Any hints for somebody about to embark in Lonesome Road. Do I keep any of my gear, companions? Anything worth stocking up on before going there?

Not really. You don't get to have companions with you (you'll find one soon enough within the DLC). And there is an abundance of loot to find in it if you look around a bit. Maybe some Purified Waters but I'm sure you can buy those two within the DLC.

 

Just be sure to bring your biggest and meaneast guns.

I've got a selection of plasma rifles, but never really worked out which ones performed better (my character focuses on energy weapons).

I'm stuck in Old World Blues. those damn scorpitrons are too durable, and I'm spending tons of ammo on them... even 100% Sneak can't save me :(

Nothing can save you from the horrendous combat in Old World Blues (the respawning mobs really brought down my enjoyment of that DLC a lot for me). Even if you haven't levelled melee skill, the melee weapons you can find in OWB tend to work well against most things in there (what's it called... Proton Axe or whatever?).

 

The sonic gun thingie also works well against the scorpions with the Tarantula mode installed.

Use the energy ax to fight the scorpitrons. Even with really low melee skill you pwn them in seconds. In OWB you have to chose your weapons pretty much based on enemy type.

Best energy weapon is a souped up lazer rifle. Shoots as fast as you can press the button but every round is on target, no doughnut spread pattern.

greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER.

That is all.

Hmm. Never paid much attention to lasers after the start of the game. I know the standard can get the scope, but I haven't really checked if gun runners arsenal adds anything with more punch. Or did you mean energy cells with more punch?

I actually think the regular Laser Rifle holds up really well even at higher levels because of what Gorgon said. Add a scope to the thing, and if you decent critical shot chance, then you got a hell of a sniper weapon. Fires really fast, no recoil to speak, scoped, and fires a lot of shots before you need to re-load. If you get some crits in then you can murder a lot of things from very far away.

One day I will replay NV and get to all the DLC's, not to mention Sawyer's mod, which I downloaded but never tried. I love the game but I played it so much, sooooo obsessively, it's going to take a while before I can go back to it. Either that, or maybe I'm afraid if I start again, I'm going to become that obsessed again. :lol:

 

Glad you're having fun with it, Cant ... it's a great game!

I'm an idiot drunkard.

 

...But I wanted to respond to this one because I'd spent so much time on it before the dlc that I'm in the same boat, Red. When I started this latest game, I ended up with tons of stuff popping up in my inventory and then I walked outside and I got another slew of messages about all the new areas, level caps, and the like. It's total comedy. I ended up selling most of the stuff for the caps, but I have to say that I'm looking forward to the new content in the game, but the way the merchants are right now destroys the feeling of having to horde and conserve resources in the early game. Fun time, though!

When I tried to replay I got bored right after getting the Chip back.

 

I always ran out of momentum after reaching Vegas too, but that was true of my very first run as well. I'm a sucker for a simple revenge story. Up to that point it was a personal quest, the game thereafter was doing a job.

 

Yes yes, I'm a heathen who wouldn't mind a little more linearity and gets a little overwhelmed with too many options. Not that it wasn't still my game of the year though...

I felt like that after Skyrim, the game was supposed to last me a year but I just blitzed it like an addict for three or four months, seen it all now. Also yay for Sawyer's mod, it makes the game insanely difficult at some points :thumbsup:

I'm sure Boone misses you.

 

 

EDIT: I saw the lottery winner get chased around by a bunch of radscorpions my most recent playthrough. Was entertaining.
