Gun Runners are really good for selling as well, map marker takes you RIGHT to the robot vendor and they have a really high cap limit.

My only issue with FO3/NV is that I HATE the stupid VATS system so much, just give me open-ended post-apocalypse survival mode (scrounging for ammo, etc) and I can die happy | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Went with the Yes Man route and took out the NCR and the Legion. It was kind of retarded that none of the MKII Securitrons come with you into the Legion camp. Had a hard time there and barely made it. In my second playthrough I'll side with the NCR, I hate the Legion. | ||

Should I just skip it and play NV? if u played the first 2 fallout games, ur gonna appreciate new vegas more than fallout 3... for u guys that are fans of the NCR Ranger Combat Armor, check this mod out, it makes the visors glows and customisable with different colors, and also doesn't disguise yourself as NCR... http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35176 | ||

I mean i never did. You can easily play on hardmode and hardest difficult without any VATS. My chars name is Machete and guess what weapon i use? I had to switch to combat knife lategame tho. Meele works very well its almost imbalanced. Hardest are some of the robots but still fairly easy to own them with a bit of strafing. I was blown away when i found out you could take over Vegas. Also thought its a pretty free sandboxish game. And i was really disappointed when i found out that it actually isnt :p + Show Spoiler + I dislike that you cant really take over Vegas yourself it sucks.. Could have been so good.. | ||

NV with no VATS + not playing "gimmicky" like abusing the broken casino system is pretty awesome. | ||

Bah, the game pisses me of without VATS. Weapons do almost no damage that way, the only way you can actually kill anything without wasting 10x the ammo and time as with VATS is to use shotguns. Not to mention the fact that you can't hit anything if you stand further than 10 feet away lol. | ||

And now in NV i stay away from VATS most of the time. I assume you like the "hardcore" mode in NV where ammo has weight and you need to drink regularly or get dehydrated? Not tried it myself yet, figure it would make for an epic second play-through. | ||

I've played for absolutely ages but I really don't know how far into the storyline I am - I feel like it's ridiculously long and complex. I love it. One thing I really love is that there are essentially no good/evil no-brainer dichotomies. It isn't a choice between helping the poor old grandma look for her son or help the devil torture him for all eternity. It really feels like each person has an agenda, and I've had moments where I've really not known which side to support. It's also the first game I've ever played where I actually feel like I'm doing my own thing. I have literally never played a game and felt that I'm not just following their path, and then only choosing whether I want option A:Evil, or option B:Good near the end. [MINOR SPOILERS] I'm now at a point where three major factions are competing for power, and each one offers me a chance to join them, but I chose to play them off each other and usurp the power myself (I would have wished that the yes-man plot was a little bit harder to get to, and wasn't put forth as "go to yes man to see if you can take over vegas yourself" in the quest log). While I doubt that I'm the only one that did this it really makes you feel like you got there through your own deviousness, and no other game has provoked that feeling for me. | ||

I find that i have higher % to hit something manually as long as it is not right up in my face spacing out. If you have a companion that prefers melee it is piece of cake to hit things manually, they keep em busy at a nice distance while you lay down the damage. | ||

I usually use VATS for really close range stuff because my character has a decent amount of AP. the Vats accuracy is so low (at least for me) past about 20 yards that it's far better to just line them up in your sights. Headshots outside of VATS almost always seem to be one-hit kills. Do you need agility at all if you're playing without VATS? | ||

Assuming NV works same way as FO3 Agility is the base for small guns and sneak, but that is a pretty minor benefit. Directly linked to AP as you said, also a requirement for some perks that is pretty useful. Like Silent running requires at least 6 Agility. | ||

Doesn't compare to fallout 3's Jingle jangle is great tho! Fallout DC felt really dark for some reason, even though it has the same engine and all. That song really added to the emptiness, takes on a whole new emphasis when in the game. I completely agree with this - I loved that song in fallout 3 and I actually think I might go as far as saying that song by itself created the atmosphere of the game. I imagine the song playing on the radio, the sound blocked out by the cheers and optimistic laughter of people witnessing the birth of atomic power. And then, 300 years later, that song can still be heard on the radio, in the midst of the shattered remains of civilization. | ||

The reason the aiming is super non-sensical is because there's some kind of coding in game where even if you have 100 guns skill sometimes the bullets fly in random directions completely different from what you were aiming at (that's not how guns work, Bethesda). This mod: http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34723 fixes that and makes it so that aiming outside of VATS, even with a low gun skill, is much easier. With the bottle shooting tutorial in Goodsprings for instance even without guns as a tagged skill you can easily get each of the bottles on your first shot. | ||

With the bottle shooting tutorial in Goodsprings for instance even without guns as a tagged skill you can easily get each of the bottles on your first shot. I hear playing in first-person and turning true iron sights on does the same thing as that mod. The guns skill in NV regulates damage, accuracy in vats, accuracy from the hip/zoomed without iron sights, and your ability to use certian weapons. Iron sights puts the bullet in a softball-sized cone at (roughly) 100ft. Guns skill narrows that cone to point of aim-point of impact at 100. [edit] Mindcrime: Agility does affect all of that except for run speed. Run speed is the same across all builds (unless you get the perk that allows you to run faster in light armor) | ||
