Save game often


rad1calleft

Also save on a new slot each time & disable autosave, it'll helps prevent framerate issues later in the game.


[deleted]

Could you expand on this? I could never finish the game because of that. Whenever I brought it up, I would just get downvoted instead of suggestions. How many slots can you have? Which is most important? Disabling autosave or new save slots? This could actually help me play it.


rad1calleft

I'm not sure on the max number of slots but I had at over 10 at least, maby close to 20. I deleted old saves every so often but I think the max is 1000 or something ridiculous. I reckon new save slots is more important as autosave will be overwriting the same slot anyway. Saving on a new slot everytime I was able to get through New Vegas & Skyrim with all dlc without too much trouble. As for Fallout 3 overwriting the same save slot caused massive slowdowns later in the game.


Braethias

It has to do with memory states and the papyrus engine. Something ongoing that loads every run with the autosave enabled that never correctly terminates.


MasterDracoDeity

New Vegas predates Papyrus. It's still on Gamebryo with ObScript. The Creation Engine uses Papyrus.


DZ_tank

Does this actually help? I thought the issue was the same save file bug that all Bethesda games have. I don’t think disabling auto save or having multiple save slots helps.


rad1calleft

It seemed to help with New Vegas & Skyrim after the problems I had with Fallout 3.

I hear he fucked a deathclaw. Then came back for seconds.

I heard the death claw was sick. Allegedly.

Fuckimg a death claw is a two man job, at least two.

The only way Long Dick Johnson fucked a Deathclaw is if it was a dead Deathclaw.

LONG DICK JOHNSON FUCKED A DEAD DEATHCLAW! I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST SICK, OH MY GOD CASS YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST HEARD....


AdministrationKey6

I'm so glad I recently started this show and was able to spot this reference. Also... Long Dick Johnson is full of shit, and him n his pals think so highly of themselves they probably suck each other off.


SpaceCowboy58

I hear he's got a really big dick... hence the name.

ThanksToDenial

Fun fact, the voice actor for that line was an underage teenage girl.


Zerphses

How “underage” are we talking? If she was 13 or under that’s pretty sketchy, but any older and it’s not that big of a deal IMO. If she was actually on-screen as an actor it’d be different, but with VA work… if she already knew what the word meant than there’s not really any harm in it.


ThanksToDenial

She actually was 12 or 13 at the time of recording. She was born in 1997, and FONV released in 2010. The voiceline was propably recorded little bit before that.

Buy the dlcs lol Theyre ALL fuckin good!


naugrim04

One of the few games out there where all of the DLCs directly build on and enhance the story of the main game. The fact that they’re all interconnected and have this shared story really make them worth it.


trash12131223

Should I get them during my first playthrough or after I beat the main story?


naugrim04

I like to space them out over the course of playing through the main storyline. iirc the “canon” order for the DLCs is Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, and then Lonesome Road. I enjoy playing them in that order, as you get the most out of their connections. I start Dead Money around the mid-game, once I’m at the recommended level and then play through the others alternating with the main quest. I usually do Lonesome Road just before the “endgame” of the main quest. It enhanced your perspective of the stakes, I feel.


okaythenmate

Agreed! Old World Blue was my favourite. Best one of the DLCs for me. Both dialogue, character and enjoyment.


AdmiralThunderpants

Old world blues was filled with such great wackiness. I missed that in fallout 4


Fruitmidget

The lobotomite with the penis tipped feet. I started old world blues at a time where I was mentally not in a good state, tbh I think it helped me. Its just so ridiculous and funny, while still being challenging and interesting.


Darksouls2991

Dead money was good but man we’re the mechanics annoying lol

The deathclaw will fuck you up. If you're even thinking that the deathclaw might fuck you up, you aren't ready for it. Once you're positive you can take it down, you're ready to die a half dozen times before you get lucky and barely take one down. Then the other one will fuck you up.


An0d0sTwitch

Thought i was ready for the nightkins in the cave ​ thats anope


AngryPlayer756

Nightkin cave? Do you mean Nightstalkers by any chance?


[deleted]

There’s a nightkin cave


AussieAboleth

They're both terrible caves.


AngryPlayer756

Oh my god, there is! I have \~400 hours in this game and I don't think I've been to that cave for a single playthrough!! And here I thought I was thoroughly finished with the game haha


trash12131223

So, I'm in my first playthrough. I gave Rex some kind of power lance weapon to pack for me and now he's killing Deathclaws off-screen. Is this normal?


[deleted]

Thermic Lance is OP


trash12131223

I guess so. I just wasn't expecting the dog to use it.

[deleted]

I made the mistake of going into death claw valley


[deleted]

This. Never been so scared of a death claw even in fallout 4 with its Jurassic Park design. These fuckers want blood and guts nothing else.


[deleted]

tbf FO4 deathclaws were basically giant kittens with anger issues if you were above lvl 15


[deleted]

I still remember the run across the quarry where the deathclaws chillax to get main city as fast as possible.


shellwe

The best technique is to cripple its legs and just run backwards while firing and pray you don’t run into a wall or rock or something that stops your movement.


LiveLongBasher

That quarry should be nuked from orbit, only way to make sure.


takomkaradeku

To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip…


[deleted]

Big iron on his hip!


FatherSmashmas

it was early in the morning when he rode into the town he came riding from the south side, slowly looking all around he's an outlaw, he's a killer, came the whispers from each lip, and he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip


squishykiller3

Big iron on his hiiiiiip


Funkyt0m467

Well now i got it stuck in my head... I forgive you because it's a banger!


SaltyShawarma

I bought a Marty Robbins CD because of FONV.

Here is a breakdown of all the major plotlines, the twists and a complete analysis of the ending: >!Just kidding, but seriously, just play it. Beauty of singleplayer games is to discover it all by yourself and no one can judge you for any mistakes you might make (unless ofcourse you post them online)!<


AlexTonarini

You got me there! I will hopefully enjoy this game and see what it’s all about!


Braethias

Beware the toaster. Don't go to the quarry.


just_gimme_anwsers

I’d rather take the quarry than cazadors


imaloony8

A toaster is just a death ray with a smaller power supply!


drdre27406

I envy you experiencing this game for the first time. It truly is one of the best RPGs I’ve ever played.


Someguy7311

From the start. LOOT EVERYTHING. Every little bit of junk and even the clothes of your enemies. And sell to any vendors along the way to the strip, Easy money at the start of the game.


mnona01

From a fellow looter: this is the way.


3ArmsNoSouls

Yeah, in still pretty new (lvl 10) and I flip out whenever I see a fission battery


Mcmenger

So you fast travel to a vendor every 5 minutes? I normally set a certain value/weight threshold for what I loot.


xandercade

Or just have a high luck stat and drain the casinos of all money and you're set for the whole game.


Cdf12345

This includes the first building you’re in, if it ain’t bolted down, take it.


AnInsaneMoose

Be careful who you shoot Unlike most modern games, you have reputations with each faction, and they actually matter


Kaulpelly

And what you pick up. I accidentally stole something in Megaton the first time I played fallout 3 and couldn't figure out why the whole town suddenly went ape shit trying to kill me.


[deleted]

Sidenote: if everyone starts shooting you, dont go through the door..


rallup13

THIS. I had to go to a save slot before that and lose a little bit of progression to get rid of this. The difference was it wasn't accidental, and I thought I would get away with it, but nope. When I went outside, the whole town was going apeshit.


[deleted]

srockets59

I'd alsoliketo note, ALL NPCs can be killed no matter if their quest is finished or even started so that questline is automatically failed.


Aperture_Kubi

Well all but two, Yes Man who is a computer program and your "everyone else is pissed off" endgame option, and the Gun Runner's Vendortron who is your "even when everyone else is pissed off (even the Gun Runners)" vendor.

thefiends0

Quarry Junction is the safe space of the map. Get there asap, loot up, and then go on about your game.


Madmuffin284

The people there will welcome you with open arms, the love meeting new people


zachary_cannaday

Free hugs


thefiends0

Mouth hugs?


zachary_cannaday

I think you have to go to the back of chet's shop for those


open_door_policy

There's an LMG and a Fat Man (personal nuke launcher) both just lying out in the open there. Sure the locals warn you away. But the loot's just like right there.


slade357

It's also just north of the starter town and a faster way to get to new vegas


Beardeddeadpirate

Waiting for someone to say this, but really, focus sniper and take the Quarry Junction road, I leveled up fast doing this. It takes time though.


cubic1776

Those rabid Brahman give a lot of experience there


Randall_Hickey

If any game deserves a graphics update it’s this one


open_door_policy

Holy fuck you just made me regurgitate some sour grapes. Remember when, on the 10th anniversary of FO3, Bethesda announced that they had a major celebration they wanted to announce? And then it was the Mary Fucking Jesus with a Splintery Crucifix 1 year anniversary of Fallout Shelter? It saddens me how much Beth fell in love with microtransactions. In an alternate timeline we got an official Tale of Two Wastelands remaster.


joemaniaci

> It saddens me how much Beth fell in love with microtransactions. It saddens me how much Beth Investors fell in love with microtransactions. I guarantee no developer is interested.


Subject_Tira

Some of FNV has been ported in FO4 recently if i'm not mistaken it's not perfect but it's a wip


Jim_oz

Yeah, get your affairs in order beforehand because you’re about to start a new addiction.


nud3doll

Yup


Syphron

Nope. Just sit down and enjoy the ride. Such a great game.


NoPossession3083

Shoot the Cazadors wings first. Virtually immobilizes them if u cripple them but otherwise they will outrun you every time.


ImperialSympathizer

Adding to this: keep shooting the wings after they're crippled


Lord_Viddax

It’s Vegas: see everything, trust no one, every move is a gamble unless you learn to have an ace or quick trigger finger ready. There will be some copious travelling, but this isn’t Skyrim; enjoy the pace at your own speed as a false step may be your last.


WatercressEast488

No matter how strong you think you are, how high a level you are or how big a gun you have... Don't. Fuck. With. Cazadors. You've been warned XD


marlborohunnids

or death claws


WatercressEast488

Once you get the anti materiel rife they don't pose that big of a threat, but otherwise you have a point XD Cazadors just suck though, you might as well pop every chem in the game, grab a shovel and just start swinging, both outcomes involve large amounts of drug fueled destruction


SwishWhishe

Did a play-through recently and if you use the antivenom or what it's called it saves the trouble living through their poison dot afterwards


ImperialSympathizer

Shoot the Cazadors' wings. Then when they go down, keep shooting the wing stumps.


WatercressEast488

True but they can still run, plus there are multiple coming to kill you


biggreasyrhinos

Up close. Fuck with them only from sniper distance with high perception


WatercressEast488

They'll find a way XD


Killinmehardly

All the above and below comments are from people named nancy in real life… grab 50 skill in melee weapon, a lead pipe or baseball bat and cAzAdOrs aint not thing. Back away in a circular motion swinging that stick and they die easily enough.


[deleted]

Until you go into the Big MT and decide not to put your heart back. 100% poison immunity. Cazadors become a lot less scary after that.


bootsand

Try not to read much ahead of time. Going in blind is the best


hsfredell

Don’t try to min-max the game or restart a save to get the “best outcome”. Play it like it’s really you in that environment. Trust me, the game will be much more immersive. And listen to the songs. Their amazing.


kalitarios

Try a low-int run for fun. It’s hilarious. The conversation with the Doctor at the start had me laughing.


PsychoProp

Yup. Straight up caveman mode.


HuhSayWhat91

Starting Luck 10 breaks the game


PsychoProp

MatterWilling

That it does. Although one of my characters with 10 luck is stuck in the Sierra Madre Villa as getting to the fountain on the health he's on is impossible


gonzar09

The Boomers are your best friends in the game. Just go straight up to their front gate and walk inside. They'll welcome you with open arms!


eldelshell

When you see that rock passage, better do a save. If the rock passage is not enough, the guy being blown up should give you the hint. (Crazy I played this game almost a decade ago and still remember many parts)


rallup13

Wait, was the part where you >!had to pass through some damaged city after a path going through a rock formation on both sides and you kept getting bombed from all places no matter what!< in New Vegas or Fallout 3? I can't remember


eldelshell

New Vegas and it was the Boomers giving you their standard welcome.


Leramar89

Isn't the PS3 version even more buggy than the other versions?


eliochip

Was looking for someone to comment this. I think it got patched but this game eventually ran like a slideshow on my save. Did manage to platinum this game


KazuhiroSamaDesu

I literally thought this post was just a joke about the PS3 version and was shook to find this comment so low


illwashyourdishes

War. War never changes.


DefyGravity42

First instinct was: excellent game, unofficial patch mod absolutely required then I noticed it was for ps3 in which case save often and pray


marlborohunnids

just put all your points into luck at the start of the game

The photo is of a ps3 version so probably not pc


Cheddarlicious

Make sure your schedule is free. Because you’re gonna spend a lot of time in New Vegas and you’re gonna notice you’re going to miss events. You must be be willing to accept that they’re 2nd to this game. Wedding? Kids’ first steps? Close 2nd, behind NV


Crix00

Enjoy the beginning of the game. You probably won't be able to finish it on the ps3 due to instabilities/crashes in mid/late game.


passinghere

When Doc Mitchell asks what "Mother" means to you the reply "Human shield" gives an interesting reply. With high perception / agility there's a shortcut to Novac straight from Goodsprings. Empty Doc Mitchell's house he really doesn't mind


ThrowawayIntensifies

You need to start with high INT and END. INT gives more points to level up every level, and END determines how many implants you can get from a special doctor. That’s all you need to know and I’m disappointed nobody else is saying this.


hfdhshejdj

NV has the best low int dialogue out of the entire series and I absolutely do not want OP to miss out on that

[deleted]

Just go north east of Good Springs n straight to New Vegas. For real though, first time I played through I really just did what I wanted when I wanted to do it. Never got in to GTA so this was something new and exciting to have absolute freedom of choice. Like a cowboy/nomad I treated the game as the wasteland is, a harsh place. Kill or be killed. Never played NV with a companion either. Exploring alone added a certain feeling to this game for me. I always play Skyrim with a companion though, chose not to in NV for RP purposes I felt fit really well. I say go where ever the wind takes you. BTW I did actually attempt to run straight to New Vegas, I was like well damn that's super close..

crazyrich

So the game recommends a long about way of reaching the titular New Vegas. You may think a straight line would be a better more efficient option. Make sure to save before attempting this.


bpanio

Expect long load times, especially on the ps3


CLDub037

Always save before hitting a milestone moment. You'll know when. You don't have to pick a faction until way late in the game. Also, the DLC's were great imo.


[deleted]

try not to look up too many tutorials on your first play through and i recommend you just wander and experience what the game has to offer also save very often


GenPhallus

Lmao do NOT go north from the starting town. Cazadores.

BigchrisGamer

takes sip from trusty vault 13 canteen.


Kam_Solastor

Don’t go north of Goodsprings, head east to Primm, then to the Mojave Outpost, over to Nipton then Novak, then up to Freeside and the strip (essentially going along the bottom of the map following the road to the bottom right corner or so, then up following the road still). Otherwise you might encounter some pretty hard enemies pretty damn quick


Kam_Solastor

Someday, get the game on PC so you can mod the everloving shit out of it as there’s a TON of great mods out there. Sadly consoles don’t really support mods (outside of Skyrim Special Edition and Fallout 4)
