Cantousent Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) 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.

Labadal Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 It's a great game that offers good replayability. My only complaint are some annoying quests and the engine is nothing to write home about. Other than that, I love the game and it's one of my favorite games released in the last five years.
Gorth Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Hah... we are sooo going to leave this thread open! : 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? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Starwars Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 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. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0

sorophx Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 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 Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

Starwars Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 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.

Lexx Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 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. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

mkreku Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 You guys do know where that Proton Axe comes from, right? http://wasteland.wikia.com/wiki/Proton_ax Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Gorgon Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 Fatman: Check Missile Launcher: Check Pew Pew: Check I've got a selection of plasma rifles, but never really worked out which ones performed better (my character focuses on energy weapons). 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. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Gorth Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 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? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Starwars Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 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.

LadyCrimson Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 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. Glad you're having fun with it, Cant ... it's a great game! 1 “Things are as they are.

HoonDing Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 When I tried to replay I got bored right after getting the Chip back. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

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!

Humanoid Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 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... L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G

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
Calax Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 I am very disappointed in you Cant. You don't win the Lottery. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Cantousent Posted September 29, 2012 Author Posted September 29, 2012 Yeah yeah! lol Finally made it to Primm. Good times! I have a way to go before I get to that part of the game. Will I let the lottery winner live this time? bwahahaha Fionavar's Holliday Wishes to all members of our online community: Happy Holidays Join the revelry at the Obsidian Plays channel:Obsidian Plays Remembering tarna, Phosphor, Metadigital, and Visceris.

Calax Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 You better, or this former superman is going to dust off heat vision and aim them at your gonads Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
