Thread by @Worthless_Bums

Thread four of #Fallout76123NV4 run.

Recap: +1 GECK, +1 vertibird plans, FO3 in TTW NV next. Bring over power armor? Probably not.

So like, how spicy do I want this run to get? xD

Fast Shot is a lot more balanced in this NV mod.

I never really understood this drawback of the Ranger perk, tho.

Unfortunately none of these really match 76 mutations, although I'll be able to swing that around if I make it to 4 xD

Anyway I guess we're doing these three:

Not gonna snag anything in the Doc's house since I'm supposed to be starting in the Capital Wasteland xD

And heeeeeeeeeeeeeere we go.

Hrmmm most stats are tracked the same in NV -> 4 but animals are considered creature kills.

My character is pissed that after all he's done he gets to the CW and there's a fucking Enclave Radio.

Alright I'm actually gonna stop now because otherwise I'll blink and it'll be 5 am or some shit and I have to work in a few hours so xD

I will leave it at this: Fallout 3 is great.

I wonder if you can make it to Broken Steel without doing the BoS line. Like maybe mod/console past it, but also like... pretend someone else moved that along while the player did other things.

You could probably just setstage the last quest? Might not break everything? xD

Sick with minor dehydration: no water on me. No water in sight.

I do like how the Capital Wasteland is supposed to be so much worse than the other Fallout locations, so being unprepared for just how shitty this place is is kind of neat.

Ah. My first people contact was a single hostile wastelander. How fitting.

Right stimpaks suck here. One gives like a third of my health. I have to remember that xD

I killed these three ghouls around this shack. I'd feel bad except they were all hostile first.

Wow okay five ghouls this is a pretty big unmarked collection of shacks I don't remember.

Party hard.

Jesus Christ a dude game in through the door behind me with a shotgun and scared the fuck outta me.

"Think there's water in lower ground?"
"There ain't shit here, Bob."

This really is a desolate wasteland. Gonna circumvent the ants and head for those buildings.

I tried to harvest this for wood.

You know, like in FO76. TO BOIL WATER DIRTY WATER WITH LATER.

That's character head canon now.

YEAH LIKE I'M GONNA LUG AROUND ALL THIS HEAVY WOOD TO BOIL ALL THIS WATER I DON'T HAVE.

So far into this run I've found two mini nukes and zero sources of water and if that isn't post apocalyptic I don't know what is.

I found some crunchy mutfruit and it actually makes me thirstier I guess that's why it's crunchy.

House was a burnt out nothing literally no loot. Getting dark, gonna bunker down. Running into bloatflies or radscorpions at night is a great way to die.

Finally.

Okay this is good, killed the three nearby raiders. Have some bloatfly and dog meat so I can stay here for a home base for a bit since I have food + water.

Repaired my rifles and shotguns with the spare crap weapons the raiders had.

dog meat has worn off

Well... at least I'm not a cannibal.

Exactly.

"Oh, I'll just follow the road and... oh."

Now we're fucking getting somewhere. And broc flower, too.

Oh wait. That's Paradise Falls.

And I'm a Ranger.

This will end well.

"I'm going to walk about three hundred yards the other direction."

"You can't make that shot."

🎵 THE EYES OF A RANGER ARE UPON YOU 🎵

I can't remember if Paradise Falls just knows you did it or not but imma wait a bit and see if I get back to hidden and if they're hostile.

I dunno. I can go to hidden but when I get near the other generic slaver goes to caution I think Paradise Falls is hostile despite my stealth kill.

Nailed the second slaver gate guard. This is some high risk high reward shit. Gimme dat combat armor, son.

Going from 8 DT to 12 is like... so good. Not as good as in like FO1/2, but still xD

A good Ranger does recon. Life still low, need stimpaks or a doctor bag or something.

For real my plan if anyone returns fire at me is to be a coward and run. I'm not getting into a fire fight. This is stealth crit or bust right now.

"I wish I could mouse wheel scroll to increase zoom on these binoculars."

YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO THAT

WAS THAT IN THE BASE GAME I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER

But can I mount my binoculars onto my rifle as a scope.

I'd kill for an actual piece of glass right not.

So I cleared the outside of Paradise Falls, and this kid tells me to rescue his friends right. Now I'm a Ranger, I hate slavers, but so far I've been getting by on long range stealth crits.

Going actually inside slaver walls sounds like death until I can heal up.

None of these guards were carrying water or stimpaks and like... you're guards in a desert, man.

Also my character has been awake for like two days so his thinking probably ain't great right now xD

You can't repair Chinese assault rifles with assault rifles? What is this.

LOL I was like okay I'll equip the Chinese assault rifle and just poke my head inside Paradise Falls. See what's what.

Immediately take fire, almost dead. Spin around, leave, sprint for the exit.

What that kid just saw: badass comes in and snipes three slavers, then runs away.

SORRY, KID, I GOT TWO PIPS OF HEALTH LEFT AND LIMBS JACKED UP I GOTTA FALL BACK AND REGROUP AND SHIT.

I need a camp anywhere/bedroll mod. This is ridiculous.

Once a find a settlement with merchants I'll add that in. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO COLLAPSE FROM EXHAUSTION AND NAP ANYWHERE, THO.

Oh shit I forgot I had this perk. If they ambush me now I am rofflefucked.

I drank a blood pack for 1 health. Every little bit helps.

Does that count as food on my statistics. It's not really a chem...

Right after that my stomach growled.

My belly hungers for blood.

I need a UI mod because I don't need to keep being reminded that I am low on health the Populous heartbeat sound effect and blurred edges of my vision let me know, thanks.

I just wanna say I never used the targeting body parts system once in FO1/2 for utility (only like sniping damage output reasons), but here in FO3 I'm low on health and just got surprised by two melee super mutants coming over a hill so I crippled their legs and ran away.

And a third super mutant with a gun showed up, I crippled his left arm, he dropped his weapon.

More time for me to retreat.

Oh you're all fucked now.

Oh shit. I forgot the actual range to hit a target in NV is pretty short. They're out of range and I'm wasting ammo.

Look at that terrain texture xD

Who the fuck is Sam Warrick. I don't remember this dude, but he's taking potshots at me.

WHY DOES NO ONE HAVE STIMPAKS OR WATER.

Shiny new sniper rifle with two rounds of .308 tho.

I don't remember the super mutants being so aggressive but this one literally charged me, jumped over a rock, and tried to cave in my skull with a sledgegammer.

I need to remember my FO4 style roll-to-permanently-decrease-SPECIALS-when-crippled sheet >.>

Rolled a 19 this toon is a a capital S Survivor.

This tunnel vision effect is making my distance judgement shifty. Is this drop gonna kill me.

It did not kill me. But it looked like it might have. But those super mutants were chasing me.

*Squints.*
Pretty sure that's a Mr Gutsy and probably not too friendly.

Hrmm. Containers. Chests. I wonder if my sneak is good enough, especially since it's getting dark. Might be worth a shot.

LOLNOPE RUNAWAY RUNAWAY

Sometimes people are like "Fallout shouldn't be open world" but crawling around in the dark low on health, trying to figure out the best way to clear or circumvent raiders, is like peak Fallout to me.

My only complaint right now is that these raiders seem to have EXCELLENT night vision but I mean I guess you get that if you survive long enough being a raider? xD

Man these are some fucked up sunglasses.

I missed one shot from a mile away and the raider immediately turned 163.4 degrees to her right, drew her shitty 10mm pistol, and winged my arm.

I like how that perk lets me fill empty bottles with water from toilets, but not this xD

I killed a raider up on this catwalk but I only found her weapon, not her body.

This is cause for alarm for my character.

Ah-ha. Somehow her body landed all the way over here?

I'm running from molerats. This is what it has come to.

Shit. A wastelander ran up to me and told me there was a bomb strapped to her and I failed to disarm it.

I sprinted around a rock to avoid the blast and then she exploded :|

I added portable bedrolls and campfire mod to the game. Unfortunately it is obviously a NV mod and the items are sold from NV merchants.

I will console them in when I find bedrolls/camp implements in the Capital Wasteland xD

I've been on a diet of raw bloatfly and mongrel dog meat for three days now and I only have minor starvation.

I'd normally let the moo moos go but I am literally starving to death. Sorry :X

Leafy green. Maybe I can dig down, see if there's water. Roll a d6? xD

Interrupted by you-know-who-if-you-played-this.

I don't wanna be a dick but my left arm has been broken since yesterday and I'm literally starving to death anyone got a stimpak or is there a doctor around here, or

"Okay, you've had it worse."

This was always a sad quest. Harder if your character actually knew Harold.

One thing that sort of jives is his mind is half gone, so not recognizing you sort of makes sense.

Finally.

I failed a 20 speech check but passed another 20 and a 32 pow pow.

Despite what an oasis the Oasis is supposed to be there's no food here so I better wrap this shit up and get going xD

There's a goddamn mirelurk king down here. Do I even have the ammo for this.

*Switches to molotov.*

"I gotta do this fast!"
*Gets lost in cave tunnels.*

I wonder how useful this is.

Oh crap I just got 55 pounds of power armor but I have no training in power armor.

CONSOLING THAT IN BECAUSE YEAH I DO.

Eating rancid mirelurk meat. The glamorous life of a wasteland ranger.

Found some stimpaks and stuff, need a doctor or a doctor's bag and I'll return to Paradise Falls.

I almost jumped off a cliff because 76 and 4 have trained me that I can do that in power armor >.>

A dog was charging me so I aimed at it and it suddenly did a 180 and ran away and I was like "wut" and I turned around and a super mutant was charging me from the other direction.

That was a good way to get me to waste like 40 rounds of 5.56 real fast.

EMERGENCY EMERGENCY DUMP ALL THE LEAD INTO THE BIG GREEN ONE

That's not alarming at all.

My character is too thirsty.

If you love water so much why don't you marry it.

VICTORY

I got a sliver of health on my arm now. Good enough, I can snipe xD

So I stepped inside the police hq - literally one step - and one floor below me I heard a super mutant yell "I'LL WEAR YOUR BONES AROUND MY NECK!"

This is some original Rainbow Six, terrorists hear you open a door across the amusement park kinda shit :|

My sneak is at 75 with this hood I don't remember super mutants being this 1) detect-y, or 2) aggressive?

Also like these are clearly balanced for New Vegas armor piercing rounds and... I haven't found any in the Capital Wasteland :|

I think another part of the disparity is that if you do the FO3 canon start you will, sometime between the vault and super duper mart, pick up a combat shotgun, and sneak attacking heads with that is A+.

I picked up a good lever action shotgun early on but very few shells.

Also I'm a ding dong and let it go to broken so now I can't even use a weapon repair kit on it. Whoops xD

On the plus side these mines will be useful for taking out those slavers.

Fallout: Dead Space.

Okay I just threw 3 grenades at this one super mutant to kill him I'm leaving.

I'm up a bunch of stimpaks and 9mm and .308 so it's time to get back to Paradise Falls.

Sorry it took me so long, kid xD

It's real annoying that I can't hit from this range.

Fish in a barrel. Fuck slavers.

Uh. Okay.

Sigh. Everything in Eulogy's Pad flagged as theft if you take it -_-

Honestly if I had an appropriate character model I'd probably take this xD

Okay aiming for this in a few levels. I lost Boone last time and that made me sad.

I could eat.

Uh-oh.

Tactics: don't group up near explodable vehicles.

Thanks for the gear, losers.

/spit

Head crippled. Rolled a 10. Win.

Oh also my chest. Rolled a 15. Double win.

How much of a druggo should I be. I can feel @DarkestKale judging me.

I actually didn't use any chems yet. Like... in all the games so far. Like buffout or jet or psycho, I used like 2 rad-x.

And some radaway. And stimpaks.

BUT LIKE NOT THE CHEM CHEMS.

Hrm. Can't seem to use this Drink to Last perk? I should be able to fill up empty bottles with water from any toilet.

Maybe it altered all the toilets in New Vegas only? :X

Yeah okay that's how it works. Every empty bottle can be converted into a dirty water but scripted from New Vegas toilets.

I got a perk that requires me to console command to use it, yay xD

Wait, how come my hit range is farther here?

I nailed the scorption and dog no problem?

Maybe it's farther than I thought and I just had no feedback that I was missing before.

Huh. Turning into Galaxy News Radio crashed the game.

just as well, I should be working instead of playing Fallout xD

I fired up my save and was like "Why are there birds chirping? Do I have a bird chirping mod?"

No. Those are real fucking birds outside my real fucking window in the real fucking world.

Because it's 5 am.

I found a raider with one stimpak.

Another had dirty water. I wonder if this is the vanilla game stocking the raiders with more supplies nearer I get to the DC ruins or if this is a TTW thing.

I don't think I've seen a single super stimpak yet. Maybe that med perk isn't actually great, at least until I pick up a follower.

I'm not skilled enoughl to push down on a pressure plate trap with a stick or something.

This hunting shotgun is A+.

I managed to wander my way to the DC ruins only encountering a single friendly location (Oasis).

I think I was actually extremely lucky to wander to Oasis and also to do the thing that got me power armor (forgot the rewards to which choice), because I survived with a sliver of health in a few circumstances after that.

I think part of the reason random wandering works so well in FO3 for me is that I just know the map less compared to NV/4.

It's very hard for me to try and put certain information out of my mind in 4.

With 3 I can mostly ignore the compass, pick out a feature, and head for it.

Oh fuck, I forgot about incinerators. TIME TO LEAVE.

Gonna ignore that my "dad" is woven throughout Three Dog's dialogue. He wants his radio thingy I'll help xD

Also: FIELD MEDIC YES.

I've tossed so much junk. Never been to Megaton or Tenpenny Tower, so I have no player home, no stash space.

I'M THE WANDERER.

No FO76 style camera filters/overlays xD

My problem right now is I'm wearing the Lyon's Pride PA but Linden's T-45d weighs 45 pounds :|

Yeah, really overburdened.

Must be pretty disappointing to have Sarah say they're not recruiting tbh. Most harsh wasteland yet, spent like 4 days wandering around half dead and starving, dying of dehydration.

Oh BoS? You've dealt with them before, they can help.

But nah. Go back to wandering alone.

Okay I gotta ditch a bunch of crap. I can't lug all this shit around, gonna fucking die if I get ambushed and can't move.

When the hell did I pick up a radiation suit.

I'm hunched over in a dark subway, chowing down on raw molerat meat.

Someone better not mistake me for a feral.

*Sadly drops almost fully repaired Chinese assault rifle because I have no 5.56.*

Nuka-Cola has really helped this run given the lack of beds I've found overall.

*Squints.*

Of course the way it works is you drop a rifle because you have no ammo for it and 15 minutes later you find a bunch of ammo for it.

Nice.

Not gonna lie, I am totally fucking lost in the DC metro area right now xD

Freaking incinerator super mutant crippled my head and chest in one shot. Good rolls at least, no permanent damage.

Oh man this coulda been such a good hidey hole/home base but I... definitely do not have the hacking ability for this yet xD

*Limps up to medical kit on wall.*
"Please have a doctor's bag."
*Empty syringe.*

I had to throw a grenade at this last raider with a sliver of health left because I was too badly wounded and both my arms are crippled and my only gun with ammo left was a shotgun and he was too far away.

I threw 17 grenades to kill 3 Talon Company Mercs.

But I got a 9mm submachine gun and now I can loot their armor and slow walk to Rivet City? xD

This hasn't been a "good" run but it's been extremely fun xD

Wasted that Drink to Last perk, tho. Annoying to use and didn't really end up needing it.

Man it feels so good to be in an actual city after that first leg.

I really regret dropping that Chinese Assault Rifle.

I really don't want to talk to Doctor Li because I didn't come from the vault. I'll figure some other way to advance the main quest later, maybe.

Maybe a follower mod except I'm the follower? xD

Hello this might be exactly what I'm looking for?
nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/…

Ah no TTW patch yet. But this would be great if/when that happens.

No, wait it must have, because this is clearly FO3 content in NV.

So I just... install the original TTB from FO3 into NV and then this on top of that?

CC @mperezwritesirl

This TTW update not going smoothly.

Apparently my NV install is missing a whole ass bsa file? What?

Okay got it, Steam being fucky.

I like how they're like "yeah this might take 2-4 hours to install".

Imagine doing this shit without ssds.

I hope this mod works at least alright if I load up my save and head to Paradise Falls.

Also like it's gonna take me an hour to hoof it over there. And I have no real roleplay reason to do that.

Although. I just offloaded my gear at Rivet City, so going back to scavenge stuff I left behind is... reasonable.

Okay TTW updated. Let's see if this shit works.

Hrm hanging on main menu.

Okay I guess a lot of Project Nevada is just not yet compatible with the newest version of TTW. Gotta disable shit.

Well PV Core and TTB seem to work so HERE WE GO.

Having some real problems with this mod.

I started a new FO3 game because I need to know what's actually supposed to happen to try and fix it on my actual run :|

Not really sure what happened. I stopped seeing her after my birthday party and leaving the vault she's gone and nothing happened? Maybe I missed something.

Okay yeah I missed her in the atrium.

Alright back on my bullshit, got this working, I think xD

I actually forgot to go in the back store and kill Pronto and another slaver so I guess this isn't -entirely- nonsensical ordering xD

I gave her a service rifle and 300 rounds of ammo and this lady does not give a fuck about ammo conservation.

Not a bad shot, tho.

I guess technically I can train her to use power armor? xD

I would say that it's annoying to track thirst and hunger manually for companions except I've done it for a while now so it's fine xD

Less exciting now that I've been to Rivet City and Megaton but I'll take it.

Not sure if the sister mod broke or what but she has like almost no dialogue except for three lines when you ask her what she feels about whatever place you're in.

Maybe all those 700 lines are in major story quests? xD

I kinda like it and don't like it. Less talking makes FO3 seem more desolate. On the other hand you figure two vault dwellers would have some shit to talk about xD

I told her to wait and when I went back a minute later she was gone. What.

She went all the way back to the dungeon entrance. Okay. Weird.

Anyway:

Those! is one of the best quests in any Fallout game.

However it is also long and divergent and I feel like short, compact, rewarding quests help flesh out your menu.

Having a game full of just Those! style quests would really grind on me eventually.

Possible alternative: long, complicated quest chains can be completed directly in a shorter but possibly less rewarding manner.

"I wanna do this quest, but also not all this shit."

In general not a huge fan of radiant quests, but I like the sugar bombs/ultrajet one.

Mostly because it makes sense, and because it's not structured in a typical radiant quest way. You want ultrajet? Find sugar bombs, return to him whenever.

I found a dead wastelander but he was only "dead" for a while so I have the Field Medic perk and could resurrect him with a super stimpak.

Cool, I'm a goody goody so let's do that.

He gets up and is hostile. Shoots me with a .44.

A super mutant master comes out. My rifle breaks.

I don't know where Amanda is. I hear her yelling somewhere behind me and I assume she and the wastelander are tangling.

I get into a fist fight with the super mutant master and win somehow. There is a stimpak working overtime right now as I have one pip of health.

I freed this captive. This is scripted and he's cool.

He does not pull a .44 to try and shoot me.

I'm not saying the Ant Might perk I got just a little while ago saved my life but I am saying that getting into a fist fight with a super mutant when you're specced for shotguns and rifles is a very bad idea.

To recap: I wasted several stimpaks, including a super, to resurrect a guy, kill him, rescue a different guy, break my weapon, get two limbs crippled, but also won a super mutant fist fight.

Just another day in the Capital Wasteland, I guess.

Amanda is alive. She's not looking at me because she knows she let me fight that SMM all alone.

Main reason I'm not carrying a fuckton of guns: ammo shortage. Weapons are heavy and super mutants even at low level suck up a huge amount of bullets.

If you don't get in a good round of sneak crit you're looking at like 40+ bullets per super mutant.

My old T-45d was almost broken so I sold it. Haven't found new replacement power armor yet.

I think it's better to keep the Outcast one on Amanda, at least for now. She doesn't seem to use the stimpaks I gave her.

Unfortunately you can't ask an NPC merchant to partially repair stuff (like the power armor).

I'm not exactly swimming in caps atm xD

Not sure if mistake but I gave the super sledge to Amanda. I'm in the subways so I think the worst thing she'll face will die in like two hits anyway.

OKAY I AM RETREATING.

Suddenly I know how Reilly's Rangers felt.

I could use one of these right now.

Yes.

All so Three Dog can jockey over the radio.

"This person died more than an hour ago."
Yeah that's the reason why we can't get them back up.

"I'm taking a vacation when we get back to Megaton."

They didn't stop to think if they should.

Not gonna try and wake Reilly. Makes no sense to since I didn't hear the emergency broadcast and the doc is telling me she's in a coma.

Herbert Daring Dashwood on the radio makes me miss Mecha Betty from FO4.

I think this is literally the first comment about the world Amanda has made.

I really wonder if the mod is partially busted because I just went back to Three Dog after the whole dish installation thing and found out about Rivet City and Doctor Li and Amanda has no dialogue about this, even if you for a comment directly from her.

I did get a little convo after this, after talking to Doctor Li. Okay then.

Haunting the bow of the ship, you say.

"How's the ammo and meds situation?"
"Not gonna lie it's not going great."

I don't think I have enough ammo to do Jefferson Memorial right now :|

I think my character knows it after killing the super mutants outside.

I know this is totally subjective, but I feel that 3/NV completely suitable (people face) graphics for me.

Like obviously I prefer 4 if I can get it.

But if I live 100 more years and am still playing cool RPGs with 3's face graphics I'll be okay.

"How do you know, you might change."
Okay, but like I know Oblivion is not acceptable to me xD

Caveat: I think the faces match the environment/world. It's why it works.

There's nothing so demoralizing as killing a few enemies with your last ammo then having more enemies move in and you have to retreat without looting the enemies you killed.

This is how you slowly bleed out on resources and die.

When the password is FALLOUT.

CONDENSATE FASTER

"Aren't we gonna go find my dad?"
"We don't know where Vault 112 is."
"But the holotape..."
"He said it was west of a garage. We don't know where the garage is. We have no idea."

The Field Medic perk totally works on companions, but it reset her inventory??? I sure hope it didn't fuck up her quest scripts, too? xD

Yeah... that's... not good for us, exactly xD

I guess I could console back what I remember, but given that she died from tripping over several mines, I'll just go with: the gear got destroyed.

Gonna jinx myself but I haven't been ambushed by any bounty hunters yet from that perk I don't think?

Unless they're the same as the Talon Company Merc encounters and I can't differentiate.

Dogmeat, you dork.

Okay, fine gonna follow you and see if anything kills you.

"Didn't you say you knew these guys?"
"That was... a while ago."

I think it's time for one of my die rolls.

Bael told me to get lost xD

I do have vertibird plans on me. Maybe they'd be interested in that, although you'd think they'd have those already.

Although... east coast BoS doesn't seem to have vertibirds. Is that a construction issue or a plans issue.

Pride One only appears in Broken Steel, right.

Amanda has vetoed us taking a few months off to visit Point Lookout.

This raider had two Chinese assault rifles he musta been king.

Oh boy.

Dogmeat, please, there are mines and traps everywhere and I need to concentrate.

Okay this is fair my repair was never that high even in the other games xD

Lotta loot up here but I can't open any of these safes goddammit xD

Wtf I hit a bear trap on the way down. On the way up me, Amanda, and Dogmeat all missed it???

Oh it was disarmed probably and I just rearmed it.

It took me, uhhh, a while to get back and finish Those! xD

Also you can't escort Bryan to Rivet City he just sits at home guess he teleports there after X hours.

I forgot Brandice was former (Navarro!) Enclave.

(Yes, I read every terminal I come across sue me.)

And home.

My character can't really say this xD

*Bob's Iguana Bits flashbacks.*

I think Project Nevada's explosive entry doesn't work on FO3 doors?

Whatever I'll roll dice xD

Dogmeat. No.

"Stealing".

Wait what. I resurrected her? And she has Bigtown/Little Lamplight kid dialogue? o_O

Can't Field Medic these others, although... they look it.

This clearly a recruitable follower situation xD

This is when you want Rename Anything from FO4.

NVSE should have similar/same functionality, tho? Hope it persists through save/load.

Hrm, the NPC doesn't seem to have auto-equip functioning?

Okay we good. Sorry for the junk armor, Theo. That's all I had on me xD

You gonna... pull the real gun I gave you. Or were you just planning on dying when Andale comes down on us?

Didn't think I'd make that xD

I forgot how not great single shot rifles are close up in FO3/NV. You really need a good shotgun or automatic weapon for raw dps.

DOGMEAT NO D:

BE MORE COWARDLY, DOGMEAT, THAT WAS V. CLOSE.

I see this too often.

It feels good to trigger this with your last round in a room full of ghouls.

Sigh.

Win.

This one super mutant overlord jacked up three BoS all by himself jeeeeeeeeeeebus.

Seriously considering this.

I'd prefer more damage mitigation but I only have 4 Endurance and I don't want to go Intensive Training -> Toughness or some nonsense like that.

In the end I took Run Like Winds! Hedge for offensive and defense, I suppose.

The overlord had an LMG now I kinda wish I took Grunt xD

Maybe that overlord did us a favor...

Hmm. The Brotherhood T-45d helmet does not have the mask/overlay thing. Will need to head back to Megaton and get my original helmet to repair I guess?

Awareness: for when you want to hear the dude in T-45D wielding a LMG coming up the stairs behind you while you ineffectively take potshots at his friends.

This looks neat:
nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/…

TTW compatible, nice.

Hey, picked up that ranger emergency radio broadcast. That might make me wake up Reilly xD

Me: "600 rounds of ammo should be enough, right?"

Super mutants: "NO!"

I'm not usually the one to let missiles fly in 3/NV, especially when I have no idea where my followers have repositioned themselves to, but also sometimes you're losing the fight, super mutants are swarming, and you no longer hear follower banter. So.

Also: whoops.

He's okay.

Okay I'm going to retreat an resupply before pushing into the hospital. Clearly did not bring enough ammo for this shit >.>

Too many brutes, too much bullet sponge.

Okay... #1 I forgot the dead ranger's named was Theo.

#2... his head was in pieces!

Slow going, but using mines to save on ammo.

Unfortunately my explosives isn't high enough to snag the grenade bouquets, I can only disarm the tripwires xD

I think this was the longest hotel crawl I've ever done.

Red Pass Card. What the hell is this. I don't remember this xD

Oh crap I never cleared the guy in the alley with the rigged explosives.

I don't remember where he is, fuck xD

PERFECT FOR RPING AMIRITE

SUCCESS.

Sorry, already a Ranger.

Theo (number 2) survived, so I gave him some ranger armor. Poor bastard deserves it xD

I coulda sworn New Vegas had like a proper power armor headlamp mod but now search turns up nothing. Hrm.

Tenpenny Tower.

I don't know why those things are floating to the right. LOD? xD

I just landed four beautiful kill shots with my team, like everyone decided to focus on separate targets and made their shots all in ~2s.

Then the game crashed.

As if to say, "What the fuck do you think this is, a Tom Clancy game?"

Round 2 did not go... quite as cleanly xD

Dark nights + gunfight = fun as hell, tho.

I found a chainsaw.

I forgot how deep some of these FO3 dungeons went, raider cave into yao guai cave.

Jesus Christ we all spawned on top of frag mines and almost bought it.

I was like NOBODY MOVE NOBODYMOVENOBODYMOVENOBODYMOVENOBODYMOVE

Nice.

Gotta little sidetracked. Finally made it to the tower, tho xD

WORTH IT.

Hm. Tenpenny is not on the balcony or in his suite.
