Holy crap Veronica is dangerous. Due to having the game guide I looked up the location of Pushy for her. Boy was that ever I good idea. She turned a ghoul into an ash pile with a punch. I picked up the unique Gauss rifle for myself. We are now essentially invincible.

Arguably the best option because every faction is DICKS. Game's ending kind of depressed me because I sided with NCR thinking I was going with the least of many evils and it turns out they're just a bit less dicky than all the other dicks.

Well, I seem to have fixed my audio issue and played for about 2 hours without crashing.

I really hate radscorpions. And I hate giant radscorpions even more.

I dunno, comparing the NCR which imposes itself on others bringing a bit of security but also hardships and oppression at times to THE LEGION

THE LEGION
THE FUCKING SLAVER ARMY THAT WANTS TO MURDER AND RAPE EVERYBODY
THAT LEGION

I think it's a bit more than a bit less dicky.
Dr. House seemed sorta alright though, just a bit self centered.
Unfortunately he's a self centered 174 year old with an army of robots.

I had characters set up for just about every ending. My first guy is going the wild card, because he is so lost in the buildup that he can't imagine serving anyone.

Got my second guy, a kind of memetic sex god, who is working with House. Who altogether seems like an immortal plotter. The kind of man who set up all the pieces far before anyone even knew there was a game.

Got a musclebrained machete wielding handlebar mustached latino for the Legion. Decided just so having Trejo around feels more fluid. And from what I understand the slavery is like an enforced working class, and in fact there isn't all that much murder and rape from most folks, mostly just enough to get people to stop resisting...except Vulpes, that guy is one cold motherfucker. And Lanius too. But talk the C man himself or Lucius(the head Pretorian) and you can see it is just because it is so alien that makes it so off.

Close with the classic man with no name gunslinger who pushes to aid the NCR. Lost in the illusion of the obvious good, but not seeing the great troubles that could come to follow.

And I still haven't finished it once. I swear I am terrible at this stuff.

She won't stop punching the heads off of things before I get a chance to line them up. I've had to resort to long-sniping to get any kills in myself.

Gotta love her, though

So yeah, I was trying to reach New Vegas by heading north from Goodsprings. Hit that quarry town and had the head guy tell me "Don't go that way, there be Deathclaws" I was all like, "Fuck Deathclaws, I can take 'em".

Ran into a group of em...where the fuck is my dart gun...OH GOD THEY'RE EATING MY FACE...

Respawn, I'm gonna loop around.

Damn this game is gorgeous. I am finding some weird framerate drops as warned though. Often coming out of a shop, I'll drop to like 10FPS unless I alt-tab. Same with using a bench. I wonder if its at all like some other games that dislike my SLI, or something.

Edit: Nope, not an SLI thing.

Yeah but then you have Boone as an NPC for a while to put a face on it. I'm gonna have trouble doing a Legion playthrough, I like evil runs but I don't like evil runs where I work for dicks.

Speaking of Boone motherfucker is awesome. Dude oneshots enemies outside the goddamn draw distance sometimes. I'll just be walking along and suddenly gunshot and 20EXP. Boone and Ed-E are my companions and I'm working on either Wild Card or Mr House ending.

Edit: Also anyone else notice the whole soundtrack is in MP3 files in the Pc version. and that the soundtrack inlcudes the entirety of Fallout 1 and 2s ambient music(which you'll hear sometimes ingame)?

Chills to Big Iron.

Did anyone else have to turn down the difficulty to have any chance at surviving the final battle? When I went with the Wild Card ending and General Lee had his people open fire on me at the very ending on Normal difficulty, I was always dead before I even had full control of my character back from the dialogue. No time to find cover or anything, just nigh-instantaneous death. Then I turned it down to easy and barely survived when the robots vaporized them with lasers, grenades, and rockets.

Anyone else think the fact that you can't play after the ending hints at an expansion, much like you couldn't keep playing after the end of Fallout 3 without Broken Steel?

EDIT: Jury Rig is great.
