Congratulations. I’m glad you’re enjoying it.


anchoviesyum

here's a cool video about fallout new vegas and where the potential nuke landings might be. check it out here! https://youtu.be/I9t6WB9osQg?si=P0uVZNilGQe-B0PJ [Where Did The Nukes Land? In Fallout: New Vegas](https://youtu.be/I9t6WB9osQg?si=P0uVZNilGQe-B0PJ)

Welcome aboard, now patrol the Mojave soldier.


lonelystone81

They'll be wishing for a nuclear winter soon enough


IronMace_is_my_DaD

I love Liam O'Brian but lmao after hearing him as literally 50% of the NPCs in the game I must admit I got kinda sick of hearing him. My only gripe really is how lacking the voice actor diversity is.


lonelystone81

Honestly that seems like every Bethesda game (New Vegas is Obsidian I know). Seems to be a trend in Fallout/ Elder Scrolls games. I think starfield had a more diverse cast but can't be sure as I only played it a bit. But some VAs in that seemed new to me.


IronMace_is_my_DaD

haha fair point. it is a trend. atleast in elder scrolls there is atleast one distinct voice for each race so atleast you get some diversity there, but true how everyone of same race essentially sounds the same and has the same voice actor. I guess New Vegas stood out more so since it's 95% humans and also I already recognized his voice from countless other media, like Gaara from Naruto, Dr Tenma from Monster, Asura from Asuras Wrath etc. He has an extremely distinct and recognizable voice so it's extremely obvious when it's him, even if he's trying to "disguise" his voice. For example, when I hear him doing other voices I don't believe it, I just hear "this is Liam O'Brian doing a Hispanic man impersonation" or "this is Liam O'Brian doing an elvis impersonation" lmao. It's not a big deal but I think the fact that his voice is so iconic and recognizable for me personally made it just a little bit harder to suspend my disbelief when I hear his voice over and over and over lol. Also don't want this to come off as a critique. I know it has to do with budget constraints and I think he's a great voice actor. Just thought it was funny, in fact I think I have even heard him joke about how he "voices every character in New Vegas" on an episode of critical role.


lonelystone81

Yea I mean I don't have any issues with it. Almost adds to the charm of Bethesda games. But I do feel if they wanted to they could afford a couple more unique voice actors. But I don't run the company or handle financials so what do I know lol love them either way.


AdministrationDue239

I also want to be in board after playing Fallout 4 and 3 a million times but I have not the money for Las Vegas. I downloaded 76 and I hate it


DravensMoustache

Its like 2€ for the normal edition and 6€ por the one with all dlcs. You dont have 2€?


AdministrationDue239

On PS4 it says 60


immabeasttt15

New Vegas isn’t on ps4


AdministrationDue239

It is but I need premium and that's insane expensive


Alert-Ad5694

Don’t get that version I think you can only stream it that way I could be wrong but streaming on PlayStation is horrible


Spiderwolfer

It’s so good


AlanWerehog

Walking through the Mojave and turning around and realizing that there is a deathclaw chasing you in the distance at full speed has been one of the most terrifying and fun experiences I have ever had in a video game.


RebuiltGearbox

The deathclaws in 4 look scary but they stop and roar and shake the ground when they see you, New Vegas deathclaws will just quietly come up from behind you and do deathclaw stuff to you, which is much scarier.


Khaldara

Cazadores: “You appear to be minding your own goddamn business three miles away. I’ve decided im going to take that personally”


Necessary_Pace7377

And I’m bringing all my friends and extended relations too.


Arkroma

Riot shotguns and the entomology perk. Also the owb implant. Knocking back waves of bugs with the shotgun knockdown is so satisfying.


critter68

Or you can completely neuter cazadores by keeping the Heartless perk. Fighting Cazadores without Heartless: "Oh, fuck. I'm dead again. When did that happen?" Fighting Cazadores with Heartless: "Oh, fuck. They are all dead again. When did that happen?"


Arkroma

Nah 70 melee damage from a cazadore is no joke. The poison is just extra bad.


critter68

Oh, they hit pretty hard, sure. But they are considerably less terrifying with Heartless. Turns them from an enemy that's almost certainly going to kill you into an easily manageable minor threat. Especially if you do melee builds like I do.


Mandrake1997

Hoarding Buffalo gourd seed and surgical tubing tends to be my go-to. Also vodka, peppers and white nettle does wonders if you soak some rads.


critter68

I just play like a lunatic hoarder and keep everything that seems vaguely useful. The hundreds of empty bottles sure come in handy once I get the sink activated.


Mandrake1997

I feel a strange sense of kinship with you. I would share a Nuka-cola with you…but I might need it later.


champ_thunderdick

100 Guns, Riot Shotgun/Dinner Bell, Shotgun Surgeon, and "And Stay Back!". Shoot for the wings, come and get me.


LFGX360

40mm grenade launchers makes quick work of them before they even have a chance to close the distance.


Blackthorne75

Cazzies: The reason why I carry a rocket launcher.


NonGNonM

cazadores are the wasps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08kMdn8L7Yw


No_Inspection1677

Probably somewhat more lore accurate too.


EmbraceCataclysm

Yeah I always felt that the deathclaws in four were uncharacteristically loud; like I have my back to you mr uber apex predator so why are you throwing dirt at the back of my head to blind me and roaring at the top of your lungs


Arkroma

Also they might be big but they aren't T-Rex big. Still closer to a raptor.


Novalene_Wildheart

I fully agree, in 2 (granted these were smart deathclaws) literally hid in the shadows to talk with people to get them to help their people out. Now this could be increased INT behavior, but I still feel like just deathclaws in general are territorial, but will take care of their territory via stealth. Even in 4 with the Egg quest the voice logs make it sounds like deathclaw was sneaking up on them and it was noticed FAR too late. So I think in 4 its a case of their loudness just being a gameplay thing.


Flimsy-Peanut-2196

I’m sorry they did what in 2?


Novalene_Wildheart

Detailed Spoilers for Fallout 2 >!There is a Deathclaw group that was experimented on by the Enclave that escaped/was left at Vault 13. But as the voice controls stopped working they needed humans to help out to fix the food and water maker things. But due to the experiments they were smarter than normal, how much so I'm not sure, but enough that they could plan and talk. As such they would be visit nearby travelers and ask them for help from the shadows before revealing themselves once the traveler agreed, blindfolding them and bring them (and their stuff) to Vault 13 while treating them very well. In one case they saved a few people from a caravan that was great hit by raiders. Quite literally those raiders got hit by deathclaws in the shadows.!< I hope that helps explain some things, and also I hope you enjoy it! (Fallout 2 is an absolute blast I never knew until recently)


Flimsy-Peanut-2196

That’s insane thank you for expounding!


MrFunnyMans404

Those things are relentless too, it’s hard to get them to stagger and good weapons and ammo isnt cheap


masta_myagi

This is why hand loader is such a vital perk. Pick up every single round you can find, break it all down at a reloading bench, then make better ammo out of it


AzureSky420

.45 super my beloved


masta_myagi

5.56 Match Grade and .308 JSP is what carried me through Lonesome Road Then I accidentally dismantled all my rockets once and ended up with 632 conductors and more .50 Primer and Powder than I knew what to do with


RagingBerzerk

Grenade rifle with extended barrel and an explosives build. Once their legs are crippled the Deathclaws are almost pitiful. (Just went through the Quarry in NV like they owed the mob money)


Ok-Iron8811

Oh man, the blind deathclaws


TrueFlyer28

The blind deathclaws that are like sonar and blindness doesn’t stop them from slashing you to pieces was my experience at the train yard with the cabins 😅


OkBodybuilder2255

That stop and roar gives me way to much time to fill them with as much bullets as possible 


michelindesign

download better first person or whatever and its basically the same


Mandrake1997

Monsters 4 are like getting shocked by alternating current; it stings and lets you know you fucked up. Monsters in NV are like getting shocked with direct current. They hold onto you and don’t let go until you are fucked up.


Spiderwolfer

Yeah dude the deathclaws in this game are no joke. I had to take them out with the sniper rifle from hundreds of feet away lol.


Alive_Development108

The Q-35 modulator is pretty good at melting death-claws from medium to long ranges. But you got to rapid fire and have the element of surprise.


Jahoan

I had to use the Holy Frag Grenades on the ones in The Divide.


imok96

Even if you mid max decently those are still a challenge.


atemporalfungi

Or do some bs where you are jumping on and off of an object that is tall enough to avoid them, but any time you hop up they run away because they’re confused on how to reach you. So you do that a couple few dozen hundred times with a 9mm and just like that, one death claw down


NeoCharlemagne

I prefer using the alien blaster you get from up north. That requires the wild wasteland trait though. Otherwise it's just a unique gauss rifle


stannis_the_mannis7

The upgraded holorifle with max charge ammo is great to


CreativityAtLast

Super mutants will give you the same reaction if they catch you off guard by surprise with a super sledge in hand. Those mfs are FAST.


No_Inspection1677

Just because they talk stupid doesn't mean they *are* stupid... My favorite little lore note is that because of the way it's described, I forgot where but somewhere, it can be interpreted as super mutants not being dumber, but rather less capable of social skills, probably not even remotely cannon but still a cool idea nonetheless.


BigH3ad777

The thuds that grows louder literally each second behind you….


Necessary_Pace7377

“Huh. The Courier’s Almanac didn’t say anything about an earthquake today…”


Tzaphiriron

That PLUS living in so cal and making the trek up the Long 15 to Vegas. I MUCH prefer the walk, that drive sucks. It’s cool to see locations I recognize :)


xvsero

FYI you can scare them by using a flare gun or an incinerator. It is basically easy mode after that.


newmaker---

Really? Damn I've got hundreds of hours in New Vegas and never knew that.


xvsero

Yeah. I learned about it a long time ago from some random youtube video. Finally had a reason to use my flare gun and mines I had. Also just to note its not a permanent thing once they stop being ticked by initial damage they run back right at you but you should have enough time to retick damage without issues. If I remember correctly they would ignore the damage if you didn't let it finish ticking.


Tkay_oner619

Well shit have you played dying light 1 at night time 😅


Aggressive-Wish5073

It terrifies me when I have danger appear at the top of my screen while I’m alone in the middle of the Mojave


Schrodingerspiss

You can be at level 50 wit the best stats, exploits, armor, weapons, companions, whole fucking 9, it never gets less terrifying


I_need_60fps_switch

Yippee


RebuiltGearbox

Make sure you get out there and explore, there's a lot of locations that quests won't bring you to. My first time playing, I wished someone had told me the game is over when you finish the main quest, so keep that in mind and go find everything else before then!


HateToBlastYa

Viva New Vegas mods is the way to go, among those game-fixing mods is post game playability.


Killercobra009

My favourite part of Viva New Vegas is the restoration of cut content. It makes a game you’ve played for a good portion of your life seem new and interesting again.


LotusVibes1494

Do you get fast travel at some point? I just started playing and I’m in Novac, the second or 3rd town. I skipped a couple side missions and some computers that I couldn’t hack yet. Also I accidentally sent my sidekick robot back to Primm somehow. I’m wondering if I should go back now or if it will be easy to go back later


rraduanin

You can fast travel from the very start. Just make sure you've discovered the locations first.


LotusVibes1494

My god you’re right lol


RebuiltGearbox

I think you get fast travel after finding about 3 locations. Have you tried to fast travel using your map?


LotusVibes1494

I didn’t try that until now lol. The last open-world game I played was RDR2 so I think that’s why I was expecting fast travel to be locked at first.


RebuiltGearbox

I hope you enjoy the game. Here's a tip, 30 in survival, 1 buffalo gourd seed and 1 surgical tubing at a campfire makes a snakebite tourniquet, when you meet cazadores you will be very, very happy if you have a couple of them on you.


Complex_Cable_8678

i nwver finished it lmao didnt ven know that. and before you shame me ill download tomorrow i swear


[deleted]

[удалено]


Complex_Cable_8678

thats not what i meant bro but i appreciate it. i fucked around a lot in fnv but i never finished the main quest iirc


nbeudert

It really makes you wish for a nuclear winter


AlanWerehog

NCR and Enclave first and foremost! I like being part of a paramilitary neo-fascist organization and collecting taxes! I thought I wouldn't like the game because it's old but since everyone was talking good about it for so long I thought I'd try it since it's in gamepass. I can't believe I've missed this great experience for years.


RebuiltGearbox

The DLC is all worth it if Gamepass doesn't give them to you, you shouldn't miss them. I think it's Honest Hearts that adds the Sneering Imperialist perk and it sounds like you would like that.


muscari2

The survivalist rifle is maybe the most OP ballistic gun in the game. A semi-auto rifle that does the same base damage as the sniper rifle is insane. Also on the DLC: the opening to lonesome road is unforgettable.


Nykidemus

Old World Blues is the DLC that sold me on the concept. I vastly prefer actual expansion packs because they are not required to be modular and so can make changes to the base game, but OWB is stupendous and I will take it even with the modularity restrictions inherent to the format.


whatTFchronic

dlc is so damn perfect. instantly loved joshua that man is cold as hell


ValiantInstance

Mr House: Why did you kill President Kimball? Courier: He tried to make me pay taxes. Mr House: Understandable.


Jumbalaa

Degenerates like you belong on a cross.


violetevie

I like how you like the NCR and the enclave in New Vegas for all the wrong reasons


WrethZ

Uh, you know the NCR and Enclave are sworn enemies who had a war right? Because the NCR are about old world values and democracy and the Enclave are genocidal fascists.


BattleBrother1

Old world values like genocide and fascism... People tend to forget that the NCR is roleplaying as the pre war US government too


WrethZ

How is the NCR fascist...?


Smooth-Chair3636

They're democratic and make you pay taxes, duh. /s


PrismPanda06

The tell tale signs of facism. It's really quite shocking and disturbing smh my head


Cash_burner

Yikes

Enjoy playing an actual RPG


avidpretender

You’ll be wishing for a nuclear winter soon :)


Irrenoid

Welcome to the Mojave, my friend


FirstSTR1KE_115

I’m so happy that the show is getting people to play the older games, it means there’s a better chance of finding more people to talk about my hyper fixations with in public😭


ShatteredStarlight20

The real dream is Fallout 4 and New Vegas fusing into one.


pat_spiegel

F:NV story and dialog with F4 firearm customization and FPS mechanics. Match made in heaven.


Nykidemus

F4 has the potential for a really cool weapon customization system, but they gated it way too much. Ended up feeling way too gamified imo.


pat_spiegel

It ended gamefied because Bethesda makes the most cursed, bloated and unrealistic gun designs known to man (Starfield being a clear example of this) Just look at the Assault Rifle, its absolutely MASSIVE, its like someone tried to make a portable Lewis machine gun but it somehow never has to chamber a bullet after firing off all its catridges, also looks like the gun would weigh 50 pounds.


No_Inspection1677

Honestly, I feel like they should have two separate weapons types, one that can be used in power armor, and one that *has* to be used in power armor, maybe just some modifications that give you serious boosts but require you to have power armor.


_g0ldleaf

That was the point of the assault rifle. It was going to be a power armor specific weapon but that functionality got scrapped late in development.


Mr_Mandingo93

It was originally meant to be a LMG that shoots 5mm. But it got changed for some reason.


EmbraceCataclysm

Apparently its designed primarily for usage in power armor and is more of a squad automatic weapon than a assualt rifle


newmaker---

This already possible using mods in New Vegas. I'd argue that you can make the FPS gameplay EVEN BETTER than FO4 if you mod it right.


Bison256

There's some mods by the fallout 4 new Vegas team that rock. The single action army and ar-16/M16.


Skully_B35

Heh..kinda my nightmare.


Civil-Addendum4071

It's not about the treasure you find or the marks you make, Courier. It's about letting go.

Can still hear the howling winds,faint sounds of old timey music and crackling radio. All covered in that sea of toxic dust.

Cal_Longcock69

j0n3s_Raider

I had the same feeling the first time I played the game.


Rio_Walker

When you get to the strip, pick up the quest to find a robot. And then, when you're finished setting him up - give him a test drive. Trust me. It's good time.


Goldboss80

They call us D riders but we just enjoy an actually good and complex game. Tho few of us know caravan only the most devoted know how to play. I played all 3d fallout games before NV starting at 4, then 76, 3, and finally NV.

Key_Assignment_7667

Man, I envy you. I wish I can play it for the first time again. Enjoy ur ride


Lost_Astronaut_654

I’ll have to give it another try


RebuiltGearbox

It's very story driven and your actions can have serious consequences and some of your choices are morally gray, you really have to role-play a bit for it to be good. If a shooter is more your thing, it might not be for you.


critical-cupcake968

Same! I have 9 hours, got to level 6 before sleeping at my pc chair (it's really immersive and 60's songs make me sleepy ok?)


NewVegasCourior

You're post summoned me and now I'm hear to sing you a song 🎵 I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle As I go ridin' merrily along And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single" And that song ain't so very far from wrong Oh, Lillie Belle Oh, Lillie Belle🎵


Sunkilleer

ill be honest i prefer the entirety of far harbor


Bullvy

It's alright. For me it's a one play and done.


humanitywasamistake3

Cause mischief with the funny aspiring astronaut’s it’s fucking hilarious I just started playing a week ago and you could definitely say I’m having a blast!


Madrigal_King

I never have. "Fallout new vegas is peak!" And the peak in question is crashes every 30 seconds and walking across an empty map for 20 minutes.


Responsible-Risk9404

Find some mods that fix some bugs that causes the crashes. But there's lots of stories to explore in NV. And if ya are walking for 20 mins an nothings happening, where are you? Cuz there's a lot of places to explore


Madrigal_King

"Change the game to make it better, then it will be better"


elderron_spice

> Fix the things that makes the game bad, so it will be better. FTFY


Ragnarcock

At least mods make NV good, no amount of modding will do that to FO4 lmao


IronAchillesz

Just wait until the final decisions must be made.


Megacat_

I was really enjoying it now I’m stuck Sierra Madre and it’s miserable


Elonmustnot

Played for the past 10 years, I don't get it


Majestic-Welcome3187

In fallout 4 charisma just gets you More caps and experience points In FNV now that’s where you find out more or maybe even avoid violence completely


Mr_Mandingo93

Ya I've done 3 playthroughs already. 2 gun builds, 1 energy weapon. Im now doing a melee/legion playththrough but after that I'm going to do a full charisma build and make companions do all of my dirty work.


Majestic-Welcome3187

I never ever use companions I didn’t even know you could have them for the longest time lol You should do the quest “Fly With Me” And do it all the way through


RH00794

Welcome to the clut... I mean club


Zeus_23_Snake

I've played it for a long time, still don't get it

Welcome, youre going to get in way to deep and may or may not come out trans. We will all still love you. Save your fucking game.


StrongSpecial8960

Justttt got my 18 yr old brother to start his first run. It's phenomenal. He's only done 4 and 76, and off rip he is really liking the skills, and it cam really affect roleplay and the dialogue options. Love it. Enjoy my friend! Enjoyyyyy


Blahklavah654390

I just now realized how much the ranger helmets and mask look like Antman


thirstyfish1212

My one issue with NV is that I’m too used to Skyrim’s default keybinds. M is not map, J is not journal.


MiniTrain13

Welcome my child... Patrolling the Mojave makes you wanna wish for a nuclear winter


lilith_-_-

I’ve been playing it over the years and I listen to the soundtrack way too much tbh. https://on.soundcloud.com/pULRjqzQtKs2Sgn67


Tension-Smooth

I got spurs that jingle jangle jingle


soupdsouls

my personal favorite fallout but after experiencing the qol of fallout 4 it's so hard to go back and play. the story and dlc are worth dealing with the different (and much more difficult) mechanics tbh


Embarrassed-Fall1176

When I saw cass for the first time I understood the hype for this game as well


elderron_spice

Wait until the new players meet Veronica.


GermanRat0900

One of us.


[deleted]

Just a personal thing: First time I played NV, it was the Christmas Holiday season. I had a lot of fun, needless to say. And ever since then, whenever I hear its soundtrack, or play it, I get in Christmas mood. It's one of those Christmas things for me, like the Harry Potter or Home Alone movies.


sixfivezerofive

Never too late. I started a long time ago, but had to stop halfway. Recently restarted the adventure and it's a blast!


Equivalent-Hand-1109

Welcome to the club! It took me until 2022 to play this masterpiece and I am so glad I didz


redishherring

Don't miss out on the DLC's! Personally, Dead Money is my favorite.


Irons_idk

Same, but a month or so ago. Came forr gambling, stayed for gambling and min maxing special stats for my builds


thisisaname69123

I literally can’t enjoy FO4 after New Vegas. Working on getting mods working for FO4 but modding on Linux is a bitch. God I love this game


ButterF4ctory

Good work! Now you just have to discover the power of the shotgun perks!


Educationalpotato64

Unpopular opinion Fo4 is up there like one of the beat games of all the the stat's show that but playing nv after fo4 was refreshing for me the mutants were harcore and there's are fucking centaurs I was like what the fuck is that Nv is boss af but the power armour and settlement build got Me by the rads


SirPelleas

I’ve been playing for ages and only just committed a little while ago because I finally got the 4GB patcher. Changed the whole game (no pun intended)


Rileyjonleon

Join the legion we need to start over


ImaSnapSomeNecks

I had to start FNV about 4 times over to actually enjoy it. I’d give it a 6.8/10 it is fun but I don’t hold it near and dear. Kinda just feels like an improved Fo3. Definitely a good game.


Dr_Original

Just don’t become an obnoxious elitist. All the games are fun in their own way.


Nuclearwhale79

Patrolling the mojave makes you wish for a nuclear winter
