Fallout New Vegas

Single shotgun is good only for smaller enemies who die in first shot
but for the bigger ones, the reloading time between the shots just sucks A**

will lookout for the ratslayer( though the name doesn't instill much confidence )

used up all my points on lockpicks and speech
some dude needed 50 speech to give up some star caps so....

here are the basics
for enemies with no or very weak armor-->use weapon with low damage but high dps
for enemies with high armor-->use high damage weapons

will lookout for the ratslayer( though the name doesn't instill much confidence )

hahaha....well the cave in which this gun is found is actually occupied with giant rats
so....here you go

used up all my points on lockpicks and speech

well I used one skill mag with comprehension perk(i.e my speech skill was 30 at this time)
anyways since you are lvl 6, you should have these 3 perks for sure
-->Confirmed bachelor
-->Educated
-->Comprehension

Buy skill mags from traders for future use
PS:dont neglect your medicine and survival skills...very important

To sum it up
you can neglect these skills
melee,unarmed,energy weapons(lvl this up after lvl 15 or so)

Dude, who is that guy?

he is the one quick and easy source for 6-8 star caps in the early stages of the game

But, who is he and where do I find him?

 

[gameranand]

LOL I never felt overwhelmed by any enemy. Not that I am very good at this game but the thing is I never go for a obvious kill. I'll shoot some bullets retreat and then come back. Even in DA game I do the same. If there are too many enemies just find a corner and sit back there and kill them one by one as they come. But well sitting in corner don't work in this one so I just run back and then shoot again then again the same.

you should have met him before reaching Nipton/Novac I guess
Its an automatic encounter if you follow the roads

Ask sourav as the incident must be still fresh in his memories

I must say this makes your gameplay more lengthy
no wonder how you spent so many hours on a single game

 

[funkysourav]

Just go to Nipton Town Hall
where everyone's been butchered

after scavenging the town hall
start walking towards the Mojave Outpost
after a few paces you'll hear gunshots,
as you'll get close you'll see a guy in a leather armor killing a powder ganger girl named Jacklyn
Talk to the guy
he'll give you 7 * caps
and the girl's body has 2 * caps
9 easy * caps

which companions have an effect on the endings?

AFAIK Boone, Arcade Gannon, Veronica
anyone else?

In a way true. Also when you are playing DAO or DA2 in hard and nightmare difficulty you can't just rush in crowd. Same goes for Fallout games. I usually play many games on higher difficulties so I need to retreat and thus longer gameplay. You know I actually killed a boss who I dealt in 2 or 3 min on normal in about more then 10 minutes on hard mode. Well DA2 was way easy so never played on normal though but I did have played these games on nearly all difficulties so know the difference of tactics you have to opt.

I think they all can effect the ending but but either make Veronica or Cassidy your companion - the game feels much better in this way

hmmm...

No I was talking about NCR vs Caeser's Legion war ending
Boone-->Assassination of Kimball's mission
Veronica-->Relations between NCR and BoS
Arcade Gannon-->Support of Enclave in the last fight

Do other companions have an effect too on this ending?

BTW why Cassidy or Veronica only?

 

[topgear]

^^ Buddy read the last line of my previous post why cas and veronica only

 

[Piyush]

hehe alright
got it
damn...now you managed to divert my mind.....I feel like I should ask Boone to take a rest and ask Cass/Veronica to come along

 

[funkysourav]

Got ED-E the eyebot as my first companion
it is small and slow, but packs quite a punch with its laser beams,
the game now feels a lot easier with a companion than it was while playing alone
also you dont have to waste guns/ammo on it

Got the enhanced sensors perk due to ED-E (+1 Perception)

on level 8
investigating/exploring Helios One NCR base

Everyone, all companions have side quests and if you do them you will see dedicated cutscenes for them at the end, its hard to get all of them during same playthrough, most sidequests are trigger bound and triggers may overlap each other.

 

[topgear]

Apart from Arcade Gannon and Raul I've made everyone my companion in the game and till the end ED-E and Veronica was my companion and among all of them I liked Veronica most

 

[Piyush]

anyways Jury rigging is an awesome perk to have
I managed to pick this up at lvl 16
I'm not only able to repair anything but also it lets us repqir some real good weapons and sell them to make big cash

I'm lvl 22 btw now and have 85k+ caps
snowglobes are still with me and have almost all types of ammos in bag in huge amount( read 1k+)
though i'm still not able to find enough amount of .45 Govt (normal not AP),12.7mm and .50mg(or whatever it is)

i am at lvl7

must get this jury rigging perk too
but my next level up i'll have to increase my Guns to at least 50
and get the Lady Killer Perk
being pounded really bad by super mutants with God Forsaken weaponry
ED-E is no use against those biggies

the Service Rifle sucks big time

current missions
Routed power in helios one to the whole wasteland
friendly with Followers of Apocalypse, NCR, Goodsprings
vilified by Powder Gangers, Caesar's Legion (they have great armor BTW)

I never had this Jury rigging perk or never heard of this - how to get it
