Fallout: New Vegas!

[guitarfreaknation]

If you actually see Mr. House, you will feel sorry for him, and end up not killing him (if you have a heart). One I saw him I reverted from save and allied with him the whole way. The Legion are the bad guys in the game IMO, so going against them is fine. Other factions will ally with you to help you on the final battle. I won't give away which ones

Ah damn... I think I will have to start a new game.

The Legion is the Caesar faction right? If so, evil or not, I'm siding with them

You can side with the Legion if you want (yes the Caesar faction), but they piss me off. If you wear the armor you will find like 50% of the people you see shoot at you. I would stick to the NCR, cause only the Legion will shoot at you then, plus there is alot more NCR than Legion.

I hear the Centurion armor looks amazing though, I'll take amazing and having to kill droves of people to prove my absolute power and their insolence, over peace.

Its how I play these types of games, someone looks at me the wrong way, they die, even if its a main character. My fiancees father plays FO3 constantly and was like a walking strategy guide, I never really played before and I ended up being nuetral, he was so impressed, said it was very hard. Only way he seemed to understand how that was possible is... I killed everyone. Good.. Bad... let god sort em out (as Gutsy would say, why he is my companion).

I've only played FO3 till when you exit the vault, ie: didn't play much at all

should I play FO3 now and New Vegas later or just play New Vegas now because I am eager to play it?

If you already started Fallout 3, I'd finish it first, just to more fully appreciate certain things in NV. NV is not a sequel to FO3, but I still think the NV experience is fuller when you have played FO3. Both are fantastic games, in my opinion, neither being better than the other.

I killed Odo (haha, Mr. House) and finished the game, just to see one way it might end. Now will go back and do a bunch of other endings and do some more exploring.

Yes, it's Caesar's Legion.

I put Mr. House out of his misery. I got the NCR and Brotherhood to team up against the Legion.

I agree 100% There are some things in NV that will remind you of 3. There are some factions that show up again, and it helps to know what happened in the previous game. In addition, there IS actually a continuation on a storyline in NV from 3. By this, I mean there was contact between NV and 3 somehow.

 

[Mussels]

oooooh, theres an ATI version of the dll fix now!

Well at least they got some, thats nice, if anyone has some screens that would be great, I wonder what they are mocking. Or why Bethesda doesn't just use real names for bullet ammo weapons.

cause gun companies sue game companies for using their weapon names these days.

Getting annoyed with the fact i can wear the T51-B without getting attacked by everyone

cause its not in brotherhood colors - if you wanna get raped, wear brotherhood power armour off one of their corpses.



as for my plot choices, i teamed up with the yes man and wiped everyone else out. thread a head NCR guy over a cliff too XD

Brotherhood glitched for me (the Head Paladin was supposed to become the Elder but all they did was talk about it when talking to them) so I had to blow the joint.

Typo, i ment i 'cant'. I'm just using the one that the BoS give you until i can find this one in the DeathClaw place.

yeah its 'neutral' so no one recognises it as brotherhood.


if you think thats retarded remember that enclave and BoS have power armor and the wastelanders can tell the difference, so a suit with no logos on it should be obvious to all but the most retarded.

NV has very few tie-ins to FO3. About the only connection is familiarizing yourself with the Brotherhood and the Enclave. Both play minor roles in NV though.

Spoiler

I didn't feel sorry for him at all. He's an abomination and seeks to control the wasteland with a robot army.

Legion is the most brutal but I don't know if I would call them "bad." They just have different approach to the same problem.

Ah damn... I think I will have to start a new game.

Spoiler

You can go kill Mr. House whenever you have access to the Penthouse. Look for a terminal...

As long as you didn't upgrade his robots, it's pretty easy and very short.

Yup, they want coin for using their trademarks. You'd think gun manufacturers would support game companies so long as the game developers don't make the gun manufacturer look bad. Gun manufacturers should see it as good advertising in a medium that already takes a lot of flak.

Dammit, I bought the Euclid's C-Finder for 20 caps, but didn't enable the Archimedes II. I went back to Helios, back to the control panel, but couldn't send power to it.

I kinda blew up everyone at Helios One with the laser. I did it fur die lulz, naturally, and kept playing. I am now trying to get back fame with the NCR. Not that easy once you murder like 40+ NCR people, loot their corpses, and your companions mutilate the bodies.

You have to wait a few days for Paladin to become Elder. As far as I can tell, just waiting/sleeping 3-4 days does not count.

That's what I tried. Bah! It doesn't make much difference though does it? Just makes the final mission a bit easier and a vid clip at the end, yeah?

Linkage?

The final mission is easy enough as long as you pack a whole bunch on AP rounds. Don't need HP, don't need normal, just AP.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I think I finished it with standard .308 rounds in the Sniper Rifle. I only used .50 AP in the Anti-material rifle against the Legate.

What difficulty? I was playing Very hard and hardcore!

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Normal and hardcore. Hardcore is more of annoyance than actually making the game more difficult. I mean, you come across food and water all the time and even if you don't come across water, you can always drink from a radiated sink.

My biggest problem with FO3, STALKER, and FNV is the weight restrictions. I'd say that's the true enemy in all those games. Having to decide what to get rid of is a pack rats worse nightmare. XD

Normal? Please. Try fighting on very hard and hardcore. You cannot take damage in the battle, as when you try to heal it takes time. You have to SPAM the stims, like 4 at once so you heal fast enough.

Weight is not a concern for me. I pretty much deposit stuff and fast travel whenever possible. I have a crate in my house full of 20k+ ammo. I don't ever sell ammo!

thats the ATI one i mentioned above.


it still shows as an nvidia card, but allows higher shader versions than the 'nvidia' fix.

 

[SabreWulf69]

Those dll's did nothing for me, no change of card or anything, all they did was lower my graphics settings. Never really had a problem in the first place thought I'd try them, but they didn't do whatever it was they were supposed to do.

Very hard just means more quick loads and quick saves. No sense in wasting time on that.
