Dude, do you guys just do the main quest or some shit and then replay it if you want to do the side ones? I've not even made it as far north as NV yet since I've been exploring.

imo you are better off only exploring the nearby areas the main quest takes you to untill you get to level 20 or so where you get the explorer perk, reveals all locations on the map

This.

Plus I don't nearly have strong enough armor or weapons to truly explore. Fucking Cazadors almost killed me.

Quicksave often, son. Although at this point if I'm bored I'll just say fuck it and turn god mode on and run into a Deathclaw-infested cave to just see what else is out there. Slowly working my way up the road to New Vegas as I complete a few side quests.

I NEED POWER ARMOR.

Definitely making progress. The Boomers love me and I have like 15 quests open right now...

Played almost non-stop with only a few hours sleep from time to time
Didn't exactly rush either, tried to get a lot done... but only smaller faction I fully completed on my first playtrough were there Boomers.
This time I'm gonna try doing everything possible.

What do you recommend doing for the final quest?

Spoiler (highlight to read):
Should I kill Mr. House? Should I side with the NCR or go with an independent Vegas? I'm trying to go with the best karma option available, so I'd imagine keeping Mr. House in place is necessary. He's the one with the dream of re-creating America, after all..

Spoiler (highlight to read):
Yes Man (independent Vegas) seems to be very neutral, but there are a lot of ways to do it, so not sure... NCR gives a lot of good karma... Also, small things you do throughout the game affects the ending as well, so can be very hard to get the perfect ending you are looking for...

I went with independent Vegas but tried to have reasonable relation with the NCR, was hoping for a good ending, but ended up with a war-thorn shit-hole with bands and gangs pillaging and raping all over the area, with the exception of The Strip and Nellis...

NV >>>>>> 3


btw Spoiler (highlight to read):
what's the deal with crafting? ive only found like one schematic and its for the rock-it launcher, are death claw gloves still around, since theyre so OP and I was thinking about doing a melee run through after I beat the game....

I've only found one schematic... for the powder-charge
And a couple of recipes for food.

I heard they had greatly improved the crafting, adding a lot more stuff you can make... But I have yet to see any of it...

Am I the only one that hates Freeside?

Go to this guy in the other end of town and get x from him and come back here

Go to this guy in the other end of town and ask him about x
"this guy": Go tell them I y about x
Go to this guy and tell him we accept y

FUCKING TOOK ME 4 HOURS OR MORE TO FINISH THAT SHITHOLE OF QUESTS BECAUSE OF ALL THE RUNNING BACK AND FORTH

Yeah, they should have made more fast travel points in Freeside.

And especially on the strip.

Like wtf?
