Damn you Fallout New Vegas - Page 9

So DFM and I had a heart to heart last night and I ended up getting the game.

I'm like ten minutes in, doing hardcore. Already loving it.

...I died to radscorpion poison. There's poison.

You got some weird priorities there Melfice.

Got this yesterday myself. Also one thing I love that I wasn't expecting(I was expecting the awesome writing, better world and increased complexity) unarmed is awesome now. Found this out in desperation when ambushed without enough ammo. Killed like 3 radscorpions and a ghoul with only my spiked knuckles despite having 4 STR and 18 unarmed skill. It made me seriously consider restarting and doing an unarmed run. Totally doing that next anyway, unarmed and explosives.

I'll be a grenade toting gay cowboy(they've got gay and lesbian versions of blackwidow/ladykiller BTw just so you know) boxing champion.

I decided to bite the bullet and got this a few hours ago. Still downloading/ installing, just over 1gb to go.

I ended up with the caravan pack because there's no Best Buy within 30 miles. How do you guys like the packs that you have?

Looking forward to being a sneaking sniper as much as possible.

The classic pack from gamestop isn't bad, you get an armored vault suit from vault 13 (Same vault as Fallout 1 and 2) and of course free stimpacks. The pistol is good but it uses a different ammo than the regular pistol. We'll see if I can get some more.

Not sure what the canteen does.

EDIT: I looked up the caravan pack and I'd much rather have it. Shotgun > Pistol

As I understand the classic pack comes with the 10mm pistol. You'll get 10mm ammo later. It replaces the 9mm a ways into the game. The canteen gets automatically fills when you drink from a large water source and regularly quenches your thirst meter in hardcore mode. In regular mode I think it's useless.

As for me, no pack I buy my games from a local chain that didn't have a pack. On the plus side I got it for like $30 less than elsewhere in Aus so yeah.

Hell I'd have skipped the pack for 30 bucks off.

Got the game at Best Buy and redeemed the code for the Mercenary Pack. The grenade launcher is a lovely weapon except when I use it on geckos who are five feet away and I blow off my arms.

Is it wrong that I want to find a stuffed gecko doll? They are just adorable.

I'm hearing about a good deal of glitches and mediocre frame rate, at least with my hardware, so I'm kind of glad I haven't started playing yet.

I'm kind of disappointed that I cleared out Primm on my own with the crappy weapons I found lying around when the NCR guy right next to it was all "Their weapons are too powerful for poor little us to handle." Other than that it's Fallout 3 but better so far.

Which despite the amazing amount of unjustified flak Fallout 3 gets from the internet, is not a bad thing.

Also, anyone found one of the recharging laser weapons that don't use ammo?
