Fallout Thread

I have cleared out both Deathclaw filled locations, thanks explosives, completed most of the unmarked quests for Camp McCarran (I need to spawn in the owner of the Grub area to complete one), found the Three Card Bounty guy and turned in the heads I’ve been carrying, delivered the eggs to Lucy and gave Cass the shotgun before sending her and ED-E away to start Old World Blues. Unfortunately, I looked up what items can be converted there using the character pages on the wiki and now I have over 1,000 units of junk with me. It’s going to be a long walk.

So after a Legion assassination attempt and two Viper encounters, I made it to the drive-in and had to wait for it to be night to teleport to the MT. I passed almost every skill check before I could freely talk to the brains, and than talked to everyone one, fixing 8’s voice module, teaching 0 how to make a O look like a 0, encouraged one’s breathing fetish, and listen to the other bot’s ramblings. Used the three bedroom lockers to separate the junk that I want to convert, the things I want to sell eventually, and the items I have no plans for or are trophies.

@Meanlucario  
… Can you fix 8’s voice module?

@E-123  
I misread what I was doing and I just hacked it instead of trying to fix it, and it resulted in bad karma. I’ll likely load a previous save since apparently my only options are to hack (bad) or not hack (good).

@Meanlucario  
Yeah, I read in the wiki that you only need to learn how to communicate with 8.
 
I didnt try this in my run… And unfortunately, 8 was the second one to die in my hands.

@E-123  
Not you, your character.
 
Good thing I’m not a monster, unlike you.

@Meanlucario  
Thats what I said.
 
It was a blind run, what can I say?

@E-123  
No, what 8 says is still gibberish to the player, but your character learns to understand them and has replies to reflect that.

So I discovered every location in the MT, did the School quests to upgrade the wave-gun’s power to destroy shields, ransack the medical building, and did the stealth suit quests. I’m going to explore Higgs Village next for the dog questline and the items there like the Jukebox’s personality.

I’ve cleaned out Higgs, caused a cyborg to feel guilty over feeding his dog drugs, completed All My Friends have Off Switches to gather everyone, and I’m working on Influencing People in order to fully upgrade them all, and cleaning out every location in the process for the skill book recipes.

I found almost all of the Sink upgrades, and at least one requires story progression. I plan on combing through the areas with the help of the wiki to grab everything before finishing the story of the DLC.

Old World Blues has been completed, other than the DNAvenger challenge. I think I’ll work on 3 next.

That’s sad

So, I’m doing an Evil Courier role-playing run on ‘‘Fallout: New Vegas’’.
 
Now, it’s harder then you think because I keep killing Powder Gangers and that counts as Good. Accursed D&D morality.
 
Still, my courier just murdered a dude so she could steal his “lucky necklace” so that has to count.
 
It’s also harder to try to role-play if only because of my inexperience and the fact that my character is being made on the spot so the character might be inconsistent.
 
I recently got to the factory where the Bright Ones are. I want to do a more comprehensive write-up about my progress to here but I’m kinda a bit tired for the moment.
 
Question: Did anybody ever explore Nipton? Because I found curious things I ignored on my previous runs like the prototype Mr. Gutsy and the house booby-trapped to hell and back, with even a cage of goddamn scorpions in the living room.
 
Also, “no resistance”, eh? I’m finding a lot of scattered bodies just laid on the floor with nearby bloodstains. Or did they die of fright and nosebleeds?

@fredhot20  
It’s less “D&D” and more “everything is good or evil” morality.
 
And I explore Nipton (I’m a packmule). I remember the traps being more annoying than the Mr. Gusty, and resting in the former too many times.

@fredhot20  
You just could join the Powder Gangers and wipe out Goodsprings, then betray then and notify the NCR to kill everyone in the prision.
 
If you have Lonesome Road, you can blew up an NCR base with a nuke.

Goodsprings is too useful to betray.

@Meanlucario  
I know, but for roleplay reasons thats an option.

I dreamed of a town in Fallout where there’s two powerful families who never gets along and the mayor convinces a negotiator to run the town and make peace between the families, only for you to find out (or confirm your suspicions of his motives if you pass a check) that he works with raiders and convinces mayors to have him work for them only for his pals to raid the place. You can than choose someone else to run for mayor, like a young woman who understands the problem better than anyone else in town and is the peaceful solution.

@Meanlucario  
That seems like a pretty awesome dream.

@Communist Starlight  
It would be a fun quest to do in a real game.

I hope the next fallout is in Chicago, the last and possibly the biggest outpost of the Enclave (That we know of). I hope we can be a civilian and see another side of the enclave instead of them being the immediate big bad, instead to explore the military and civilian life and see for ourselves, a order vs freedom kind of situation.
