Fallout: New Vegas

[HPriller]

80k caps at level 8.  Hardcore mode, hard difficulty.  How? Simple! 10 Luck  I could go knock over a few more casinos but this is really probably more dough than I'll need to complete the game.

Also found an Looping quest XP bug that would allow me to level indefinitely while standing still.   I'm kinda disappointed with how buggy this game is, it feels like a glorified expansion pack with a $50 price tag.  But hands down the most obnoxious thing is the inventory system.  It's a clunky unsorted mess with such a ridiculous amount of items the vast majority of which are worthless it feels like at least 20% of my gametime is wasted juggling inventory around.  This has gotten even worse than fallout 3 as now they decided to make a complex (and almost completely useless) crafting system that multiplies the number of junk items in the game.

I think I found another bug.  In "The Thorn" you can bet caps on animal fights.  Similar to dogfighting IRL.  I made a bet and the 2 animals came out and just stand there and look at each other forever.  This sucks because there is a quest in progress with the owner of the joint and you cant interact with her until the fight is over.      Anyone else have this problem?

What would you suggest rolling for skills?

Make sure all of your S.P.E.C.I.A.L skills are at the minimum 5.  This will leave you with a couple of more points that you can sink into some extra stuff.  I put some extra points into Intelligence, Endurance, Agility and Luck.  You'll get a perk that gives you one S.P.E.C.I.A.L point to assign to whichever one you want, I recommend taking advantage of that perk, think you can stack it 10 times. There is also a doctor somewhere in New Vegas that sells implants that boosts your S.P.E.C.I.A.L points, heard it's expensive.  One reason it's important to boost up Endurance is that you only get 9 implants and if you don't have a high enough endurance you won't be able to equip all nine implants.

I have been playing this addictive game for the last week on Xbox 360. One funny thing is that I had not thought of the singer Marty Robbins hardly since I was a kid (45 now). My dad used to listen to him on occasion.

With Ed-E I'm not sure about going the BoS route or the other.

Boone is handy! I'm an energy weapons user and have found some good stuff. Still have not completed the they went thatawy quest.

I've been playing Fallout 3 (not New Vegas) on a friend's Xbox360.

Their graphics engine makes me sick to my stomach. I think its the 'gliding on air' walk coupled with the terrain's irritating effect that gives that sensation. I can barely play more than 30 minutes at a time.

The game's interesting but I wouldn't buy it nor this new game because of the graphic sickness. Hopefully fallout4's engine will be better (and its crafting and repair.. I find it ridiculous that the majority of the weapons in the game aren't craftable.. I mean, its post-apocalypse! people make stuff from junk as a rule ).
