| Oh wow. New Vegas sold really well in Japan
A respectable 5th place on releases. I remember an article years ago having 2ch users claim that American made RPGs are absolute garbage and this comment was pushed in the millions But granted that the game only pushed 60k+ copies in Japan. That's still a pretty big number. It even beat a lot of wii titles like Kirby and anime fighting games like Naruto. damn ENJOY YOUR GLITCHES JAPAN! TRUST US. WE HATE IT TOO! |

Originally posted by BitmapThe best comparison I can come up with is the loot from Anchorage in Fallout 3 - once you get it, 80% of the game is clear. He'll kill anything you point him at, and a good bit of what you can't see. The only issue I have with him is that he's prone to going off on his own and killing shit without me knowing. He cleared out half of a bandit-infested vault solo. With no stimpacks, ordinary Reinforced Metal Armor, and his default hunting rifle and machete. His perk also helps a lot with nighttime sniping.
I stupidly skipped the rest of their missions and went to the final battle... before getting power armor training. Hell, Boone can't even use it because the only faction armor he'll use is NCR. So I basically have to hope for the best and keep my lever-action shotgun and scoped hunting rifle pointed in the right direction. Haven't actually played lately

| See it's just not very fun when Boone's owning everything in sight, lol. Maybe later on if the game gets tougher but yeah.
Like just yesterday, I went into that one mine to free the NCR prisoners, and Boone did the usual "appear in the middle of the map" he took out 5 Legion members and some dogs instantly. I walked into that room and it just a huge pile of death. It was pretty funny, but just... takes away some fun. |

| You can always raise the difficulty if you want to. Using the YCS/186 rifle against a mother deathclaw took me 30 headshots to take down.
I cheated though. I was on top of a mountain when I was doing that. Netted me 50XP waste of my time |

Least it was satisfying? 
Was fighting some deathclaws when I was playing Fallout again recently. Kind of scared to think of what they're like in this one! |

Originally posted by Xeus I was like that at first. But since I'm not in as much of a direct combat build, I grew to appreciate his asskicking pretty quickly. That and it was hilarious. 95% of the gunshots I heard were Boone killing shit. Most enemies didn't have a chance to even shoot at me. |

| Yeah I am playing with Boone on Hardcore mode and he is holding his own quite well. Doing the quest "Come Fly With Me" and he is seriously a HUGE help. Just point a gun at a super mutant and without leather armor he can still hold his own.
I dunno if I want Lily or Cass in this run. Boone is a serious help. It takes Boone two hits with his rifle to kill a super mutant. At the most five. Christ. Also, you Xbox folk get the first DLC pack that comes in December 21st. You guys gotta tell me how it is! (Increased Level cap to 35, more perks, and 10 hour storyline) PS- Hardcore mode isn't THAT bad. You just gotta know what you are doing and be a little more careful. The food, sleep, and water isn't a problem. It's the stimpack that's the problem. I would also say that your companions dying can be a problem but if you save often then it's not a problem.

That's just not fun to me man, I want to be the one doing the killing... not my companions.  , I've been playing with Rex and Cass lately and they're just fine for me, dealing some "helpful" damage here and there rather than turning the game into "Pull out your guns only to see Boone kill everything". Haha.
About 45 hours in myself still on the first run. My friend hates me for barely even touching the Strip, even now... hey man I'm exploring the wastelands! But my quests are diminishing so I guess I should finally head up there. Also since I'm at level 30 now and got a level cap mod that puts it to 100, I put it up to Hard recently since the game has been so easy... it definitely helps. I got completely owned by super mutants around Tabitha's tower or whatever (still haven't completed that mission) and also some super Deathclaw or something killed me in one hit somehow. I killed all the Van Grauf's on Hard though, that was nuts. Think I might kill the Kahn's for fun. Getting a little bored of being friendly with everyone, although I'm a "Smiling Troublemaker" with the NCR now, haha. |

| If you want to have a little fun. Poke around a bit at Casers legion and just straight up murder everyone. Wait a few days (A week at the most) and guess what? More target practice!
Plus their chainsaws go for a pretty cap. Head on over to a casino and trade their currency with caps and there you go. Money for you! I remember when I got my hands on the YCS/182 and poked around there. One shot? One Kill! I even killed the head honcho there and of course the game did not recognize it as a kill. I got his fists though...before my PS3 died *Cries* Now I am rolling with the NCR. Boone with me on Hardcore mode, strict Guns, Survival, and Medicine. When I roll with Casear I will be Unarmed, Speech, and Lockpick. Once I max those out I will go Barter, Medicine, and Sneak. With Jury rigging to repair my unarmed weapons. (Duct Tape can be found everywhere) (Last edited by Bitmap on 11-28-10 05:00 AM) |

| Jury Rigging is amazing.
Same with that one perk that halves every item with a weight of 2 or less, makes a huge difference! |

Originally posted by Xeus Pack Rat? To me I never used that. In hardcore mode it's a must. Normal mode it's not so bad. Not to mention if you hire companions you can put all your junk on them and not have to worry about it. So it's all personal opinion. I will say that if you are hardcore in survival then you will absolutely need it. On my next run (With the legion) I will not even bother with INT. Silly, I know! High STR and PER with max companions will literally be easy mode. As long as I can raise my Unarmed, Medicine, and -Lockpick / Science- then I am gonna be good. It's gonna be funny reading the dialog for a low INT build. (Last edited by Bitmap on 11-29-10 04:18 AM) |

| I have to wonder what a Legion run would be like... if you help them out and go against the NCR, do the Legion pop up more often? It just feels like there's literally like 10x as much NCR around the area compared to Legion, so it makes it seem like doing a Legion run might be a little more boring (was thinking of doing one myself in the future). Then again, you'll be fighting a hell of a lot more with all those NCR camps around.
But maybe there's more to it than I think! |

Originally posted by Bitmap Water's a bit of an annoyance, in my experience, but I've never liked buying dirty water, and Purified is still pretty uncommon - not as rare as in Fallout 3 though. Sleep, though, is hilarious. You can go entire weeks without sleeping, as long as you use Atomic Cocktails or similar to keep yourself going. But stimpacks... ugh. Murder on my current build in the battle at the Hoover Damn. Note that I haven't played in a longass time though. |

| Astrophel, would you agree that Survival is a waste of skill points?
Well, to me it's not something you should spend more than 50 points on. I already have my skills at 65, not to mention I have plenty of survival magazines in which if I really need the extra 20 points (Perk. I forgot which one. I think comprehension?) then I can just use that and cook up something. But to me 50 is enough. I should have spent that extra 15 in Medicine. Which also reminds me. Drinking Dirty water does not really add that much to your radiation. Sure it all adds up. But having a high medicine skill and buying Rad-away can easily solve that problem. But then again, there are certain quests that build up your radiation like it's nothing. Like a timed mission. Eventually you will get major radiation. Plus it really does not help that Rad-away is seriously rare. Best way to rid your radiation is to high tail it to a doctor if you don't want to waste your Radaways. |

| I've neglected Medicine and can never find RadAway when I actually want it.
Really should've put one more point into Strength. As for Survival... the boosted health recovery from food is theoretically nice, but I've never really gotten a lot of use out of it. And campfires aren't nearly common enough in my experience. At least the other crafting locations are in places you're practically guaranteed to be. Repair, Sneak, and your ranged weapon of choice seem far more useful to me. I'll have to play around with it more on another character to really decide.

| I honestly didn't realize you could do anything with campfires until 30-40 hours in. Haha.
Hey, that beats my friend not knowing you could hotkey items/weapons. |

| Has anyone been ever to kill Benny at the Tops casino?
I havnt. But I soooooo want to. I know if you head straight over to the Legion you can do all sorts of things to him! If I side with the legion I want to just let him go. See what he does. |

I did it pretty easily, lol. Convinced him to take me to his suite upstairs, along with losing all his guards. So we went there and talked a lot, then I killed him.  |
