[Reaper_vivek]

@tkin..thanks a lot dude..and i managed without wasting a single stealthboy..i jst ran until i saw the leader..killed the rogue ghoul in the adjacent room..did what the nightkin leader asked me and all of them are gone..

@toad playing at hardcore..its fun..

On level 7 now..luking for the rocket fuel for the ghouls to go too..
Awesome game..
And now i have ed-e too..its gud to have someone carrying most of my stuff

Hardcore mode don't makes combats very tough - The game's defualt setting is normal and you can play it hardcore mopde on - what hardcore mode do is - you have take rest, keep a eye on the dehydration and hunger level, keep yourself chem addiction and radiation free etc etc. - it will effect how much weight you can carry, will count the weight of every ammo you have - so the amount of ammo you can carry can't be unlimited etc. etc.

If you want to really make this game tough set difficulty level to - High and play it with hardcore mode on.

As for me I first plaed it with Normal+ HC mode but after most of the my valuable items was stolen in BoS bunker ( I've stashed most of the valuable item in a crate in BoS bunker where they always keep of MF and EC cell for you ) I played it in Normal with HC mode off.

@ toad_frog09 - which companion do you have ? Name plz. I had veronica last time and she is more good than cas.

Woot woot..level 10..and have 2 companions..boon and ed-e..
Now searching for new vegas as I've discovered most of the areas..
Btw i'm playing hard+hardcore..
Proud owner of "that gun"

^^ Is that some kind of revolver ?

I added ED-E later as my companion but as it was flying all the time I forgot to mention about about ED-E.

BTW, is there any way I can have 2 human companions in this game ?

 

[Reaper_vivek]

Yup it's a revolver but uses the 5.67mm ammo of the rifles...

I think ed-e is the best as his electric zap is sometimes deadly...

And we can't have 2 human companions..i tried veronica and boone both but it didn't work...and Boone has this powerful sniper...
Most of the time they both kill all the enemies around..I DON'T MIND..

The only job ed-e does is act is a pack mule and offer the perk that increases your perception to god damn high, boone on the other hand was super powerful, his stats are lowered in latest patch making the game more balanced.

@ tkin and keviv219 - thanks for the info guys.

 

[Reaper_vivek]

Level 19 and it has a got a bit boring because of the brotherhood...The Brotherhood should take a chill...and the hidden valley bunkers are so confusing..

How to kill the Deathclaws???they are ginormous...one I can handle but more than that wipes out my companions and then turn to me for A$$ whooping...I have the annabelle missile launcher(no effect), grenade launcher and many other guns but they don't do ****..

Also made love with Joanna in the Tops casino...though the game didn't show them doing it..

There are no specific rules to follow, just stay in cover, don't charge in battles at start, remember, sneaking yields bonus damage, don't engage an enemy if it looks too powerful and make sure to conserve ammo, also make sure to save the game every 15 min or so, trust me you'll need this later.

FNV supports many style of gameplay, for basic users I suggest sticking to guns and sneaking around, you can also melee or explosive based weapons.

PS: Make sure to upgrade only those skills and perks that boost your style of gameplay, don't venture into different directions when selecting skills.

Also note the wasteland is fckin dangerous, so don't wander around unless you reach level 15 at least or level 20 for deathclaw infested areas(the center of the map)

Apart from cheats, none, caps(money) are one of the hardest to find object in game, you get some by completing quests, a large stash of 7k+ caps is found in a cave(forgot the location, maybe toward Georgetown), else there is not many way to get it.

 

[Piyush]

are guns and other stuffs also can be found in stashes?

 

[tkin]

are guns and other stuffs also can be found in stashes?

Mostly not, stashes contain food items and stuff(few contain ammo), weapons and ammo can be had from corpses of enemies you slaughter, make sure to upgrade your repair skill, this is very important, using this skill you can repair your weapons using same weapons(one weapon is consumed or broken and parts are utilized to repair the other weapon), Stashes may contain rare weapons but your run of the mill weapons are not found in stashes usually.

I would suggest you to play Fallout 3 first anyway.

@piyush enjoy the game...

guys I'm having problem with my game...i had completed the game in a previous installation and never had any lag or crash....
The game ran smoothly at 70fps avg.

But then something happened with my Windows installation and i had to reinstall it...And now whwn I've reinstalled the game...it crashes way too often...most of the time it says falloutNV.exe not respnding...but once in a while the ati driver crashes...
So, is it because of the game or Windows or the GFX drivers...

I had 10.11 catalyst in he previous installation and now I've tried both 10.11 and 10.10e still the same....
Other games are running fine and don't crash or hang because of my over clocking the GPU @985MHz core and 1300MHz memory....Can overclocking be a reason for it
Also please suggest me a free benchmark software to test the stability of my card...Not something very heavy on cards as i don't want the system to crash

Do you have the latest patch installed?? That fixed a lot of bugs, I played it twice without any issues except the game would crash when quick loading, I had to exit to the main menu and load the game from there, not a biggy if you ask me but still a nuisance.

PS: Yes, overclocking can make your system unstable, try to undo the OC and then play it.

 

[topgear]

looks like a driver issue due to ocing.

@ keviv219 - have you updated win7 fater re-installing it again ? have you updated DX ? there's a Dx fix for the game - you may try that as well.

 

[Journey]

To all the people who have problems with bugs. There have been four patches out already, I believe the last one includes all previous updates so you just need this one.
It fixes a TON of issues and make FNV a lot more playable, atleast on the PC where I play it.
