I am amazed they actually let you do that.

I'll be damned if any product I deliver is faulty. Plus my character is open minded.

Holy fuck, forget the Gomorrah.

Yeah forget the Gomorrah.

All their whores have gonorrhea. Hence the name.

I'm just glad that they didn't restrict it to only characters with the Wild Wasteland perk. You don't even need to be a certain gender or have one of the perks dealing with sexual encounters.

In Fallout 3, the only legitimate mentioning of sex is one guy who wants to "plow" the chick who wants you to collect Nuka Cola Quantum. In New Vegas, you can have sex with the guy who shot you. The developers must have had a lot of fun making this game.

I'm trying to do Oh My Papa to get the Khans to fight for the NCR but I'm having a hard time getting to Melissa. There's like seven deathclaws and an alpha male in the quarry, how am I supposed to get past them? If I attack one they all come running at me, and I tried to sneak past but one saw me and they all attacked.

Help...?

Are you going straight through the quarry or are you going around the side straight out of the canyon?

There is a back-way to the camp, just fast travel to Red Rock Canyon and follow your compass to Melissa. There are only 2-3 Deathclaws blocking the back entrance.

That's the girl way out. Real men kill every single deathclaw with a sniper rifle before they even know what's hitting them. By the way I'm still having trouble finding any different way to kill them unless it's just one of them I have to deal with.

Also about the oh my papa quest, I game was glitched for some reason so that it was impossible for me to forge such an alliance.

Beanbag ammo (for 12 gauge shotguns). Then stomp them in VATS while wearing a ballistic fist (if your unarmed skill is high enough to let you stomp and you do have a ballistic fist, that is). Works awesomely even in Very Hard.

And damn, the Quarry's Deathclaws in Very Hard are on steroids, I swear. I sneaked and headshot them with the anti-material rifle and they didn't die in a shot (unlike the ones in the cave with the Legendary Deathclaw). It really didn't even do much damage. Freaking sonuvabitches.

{SPOILERS}

I finally got around to beating the game. Just the main storyline. I had worked for the NCR and was the very reason they managed to take the Mojave. It seems like it worked out great for everyone, except for the Khans, who were murdered later on by NCR. I can't say the game's ending wowed me. It was bittersweet and had no ending message. Also, I never got a chance to use the Blade of the East that I got from Lenius. Speaking of him, I failed the final speech challenge which would have him leave without a fight. With a skill magazine and Benny's Suit, I had only 95 of the 100 skill points necessary. I did however convince him to fight me one on one without the help of his guards. And though I might survive through that, my companions wouldn't have.

Final stats

Play time: 48 hours
Level: 26
Quests completed: 40/145(?)
Locations discovered: 84/125
Companions recruited: 3
Hardcore Mode: Completed
Trophy Completion: 50%

Having beaten the game, I'm not immediately interested in starting a new game, or even completing all the quests and stuff I left behind. I'll do it eventually, but it seems like my addiction to this game is over, and it feels great. I knew that all I had to do was hurry up and finish the story.

My Next playthrough will be a Legion run, but I'm also really hoping to do what I call the Albert Wesker Playthrough. Which is perfect for this Fallout game, because one of the endings involves you in total control of the Mojave.

I'm so jealous!! Does New Vegas have any crazy new features that make Fallout 3 look like shit?

I punched a slave while in the... Legion(?) base on the way to Caeser, now they all hate me, I think I can escape but will they hate me forever?

Should I just start over with a character build I'll probably enjoy more?

I would start again. I usually put my Barter and Speech skills right up and have Guns higher than Energy Weapons.

Yes, yes it is. Then again sometimes you just don't have a combat oriented character and need the sissy way out of things.

As for killing them, after several attempts (and even more deaths) I found you just need a high powered weapon and/or a weapon with armor piercing rounds. The trick is remembering about the new Damage Threshold mechanic implemented (which I completley ingnored until the Quarry Junction forced me to reread the tutorials). Sniper Rifles and such is your best bet wills a high Guns skill, Alien Blaster with energy, etc.

OR - Just use stealth boys.

Thats what I was thinking, I always noticed I was missing a lot of speech challenges, and barter seems really necessary because of the shocking prices you get offered.

I've noticed on multiple /occasions that barter will only discount some things while speech would make them free outright

Got all the achievements just last week. Man, I don't think I'll touch this game again until all the DLC comes out.

Unlike with Fallout 3; I have no motivation whatsoever to do the same. Just trying to get all four endings was enough.

Hey, If the NCR defeated the Legion at the battle at Hoover dam, does that mean that pretty soon they'll find a way to govern all of Caesar's old lands and control this much of the country highlighted in red?

If that's the case they'll have to change their name.

Pretty much. If I read things correctly, the NCR is planning on uniting the entire country under their flag, so it's only a matter of time until the rest of Legion territory and more falls under their control. 'Cept this time, the Legion is without a Caesar and Legate, while the NCR won't have House limiting their presence in other regions.

Hardcore mode is not that hardcore. It's essentially, "Walk around with a crippled head constantly, while eating, drinking and sleeping occasionally mode."

With a perception of 1, I have no reason to heal my crippled head, though.

So far, I've run past north of Goodsprings, killed Vault 19 with a baseball bat, got leather armor, and headed to Vegas, and killed Benny at the Tops. At level 8.

Admittedly, I've played through it twice, though.

That sounds all well and good, but do you think the Capital wasteland brotherhood of steel will also play a role in the restoration of America? I mean sure they had to have expanded beyond the capital wasteland in the years between fallout 3 and New Vegas. Makes me hopeful that one day the two sides will meet and unite if they don't destroy each other first.

Also, do you think the ending involving the Khans leaving the Mojave and forming an empire in the north will be canon? If that's the case then that sounds like a nice new conflict for any Fallout sequel to base itself around.

But another question, what about the South?

Super Mutants.

Who knows, the East Coast Brotherhood is dedicated to humanitarian efforts and want the best for the people, but the NCR would most likely strong arm their way into their territory and spark another NCR/Brotherhood war. I believe a clash would be inevitable.

Again, who knows. Fallout doesn't tend to reveal canon until the next game, and any ending could end up being the canon one. That said, I doubt the Khans would put up enough of a resistance to base a game around, maybe a subplot at best.

anyone knows if there will be a add-on soon?

End of the month. The level cap will also be raised to 35.

It was only three years. Besides helping out the major settlements of the Capital Wasteland (Megaton, Rivet City), there isn't much they can do except maybe establish a few military outposts to defend the borders of civilization from the outside. At the end of Fallout 3, and Broken Steel for that matter, they're in kind of a mess. Heavy casualties and whatnot. If I was calling the shots, I would recuperate and then establish strongholds over the land. They wouldn't even think about expanding without having something strong at their backs.

I never played the first two fallouts, but what kind of relationship did the Western Brotherhood have with NCR? If I remember Fallout 3 lore, the eastern Brotherhood had only been there for a few decades under orders from the west. If the NCR and BoS made up before then, then they have no reason to fight each other.

In my ending (when I was with the NCR), they continued being a part of the NCR after signing the peace treaty, but their behavior and Raider-like activity forced the NCR to eliminate them. The Khans were small time. Inferior weapons, armor, and strongholds. I didn't see too much evil in them, but apparently there's a lot of work behind the scenes.

But another question, what about the South?

Texas? Mexico? I wouldn't doubt either location appearing as New Vegas DLC.

At least 4 years, actually. Either way, that's still not a lot of time to re-coup and, like you said, the East Coast Brotherhood would be too busy focusing on humanitarian efforts to expand.

I haven't played the first 2 either and only know what I read from in game texts for FO3 and NV, but it was the Brotherhood (plus the player characters in the first 2 games) that helped create the NCR in the first place. After the NCR got big enough they began to expand and eventually clashed with the Brotherhood due to conflicting interests (technology, if I remember correctly). If the NCR encounters the East Coast Brotherhood they would most likely try and fight them, do to them simply being the BoS, it wouldn't matter if they were a Splinter Cell or not.
