    Your "WTF" moments in NV playthroughs

    It would be delightful if Boone and the intelligence to play that practical joke. I suspect that some of the programmers were thinking of "The Others" from Lost for the graveyard moments. But that strange moaning.... fucked up. I just had some of that Hidden Valley. Love that dust...

    Rose, Van Graffs and Crimson Caravan-

    SO you can sell out Alice and the Van Graffs to the NCR and then come back and kill them (double the fun?). Can you kill the Van Graffs and still leave Alice in chains? Finally, anyone just let that bomber blow the Van Graffs to hell?

    Legion/BoS war (Expect spoilers)

    Good points. I had thought the sniper position was overlooking the road into Cottonwood Cove. Courier, I missed that from Boone. Nice pick. Perhaps it was the official guide that said it was a Legion nest. I'll have to check that. The Vault agrees with you guys. Correction noted...

    Zombification Sterilization

    Dammitboy, sorry I took the joy of "living the tropical paradise while the world gets eaten by zombies" scenario. Truth is, you don't know when the zombies are going to wash up and you'll have little warning if a horde of zombie marines come up the beach, ruining a rather nice tropical...

    Rose, Van Graffs and Crimson Caravan-

    Ok, so how did you resolve this? I don't want to sell out Rose, and honestly, the Van Graffs and Alice need to be put down like the dogs they are. Is it possible to whack the Van Graffs and put Alice in chains?

    Zombification Sterilization

    Ok- the problem with the island idea. Much of this depends on your idea of zombies. But in some depictions, zombies float, so you could get a zombie washing up on sure when you're not watching or coming ashore at night and disappearing into the trees. You're guard is down and ole Zed come...

    Legion/BoS war (Expect spoilers)

    Courier- I think Boone used his hunting rifle to kill his wife. Not sure how he would get the Gobi, as you get it from a Legion sniper post. Quag, I disagree. Rose says the same thing as do other encounters. The problem for the NCR is that its expansionist and its outreached itself. Not...

    Weapons question

    Wait a sec, so the totally modified hunting rifle beats out the sniper and the Gobi?

    Your "WTF" moments in NV playthroughs

    Actually I get that noise too, and I don't have the weird wasteland. I was thinking it was the ghost of dead khans haunting me for all the graves I dug up.

    Rate the avatar above yours.

    Actually I like Lexx's avatar. .Pixote, I like that your avatar moves and is definitely Falloutish. But.... it gives me a feeling of mechanistic dread. 5/10

    Favorite books / What are you reading?

    Actually, I recently read a pretty good zombie book. The Reapers are Angels, by Alden Bell. http://www.amazon.com/Reapers-Are-Angels-Novel/dp/0805092439 The story involves a teenage girl who grew up during the zombie apocalypse and knows little of the time before and who is on something...

    Zombification Sterilization

    Down side of using a gun in a zombie apocalypse is that every shot draws more zombies to you. Its not so much the number of guns but your ammo and reload speed. Flamethrowers turn zombies into walking fire hazards.

    Weapons question

    Ok, so I am working through the Wasteland and enjoying the Ghobi Sniper Rifle. But I also have a modified Sniper Rifle with the suppressor, and well, its so nice to kill things quietly. What do you prefer, Modified Sniper of Ghobi Sniper Rifle.

    Your "WTF" moments in NV playthroughs

    Actually still in my first play-through but my WTF moment. The Ranger hanging out in Hidden Valley. I get into his campsite and rip him off. Then tell him he should get out because the powder gangers are around, go back to finish ripping him off, and the SOB leaves a grenade trap for me...

    What ever happened to vault city?

    Well don't forget that Vault City had a ghoul issue to deal with, and then, perhaps, it forms an alliance with the ghouls- power for medical care. Also, Vault City's comparative advantage in the wasteland is medical services. The economics and the ideology kind of fit.

    Legion/BoS war (Expect spoilers)

    man for man, BOS should beat the Legion, but the problem is the Legion has numbers, ideology and structure. Sure, we criticize the Legion for being machete bearing killers, but there are Legion assassins too and the Legion is pretty good at penetrating deep into enemy territory and raising...

    Stumping in the wasteland: On the politics of Fallout

    I was really hoping for so much more from that article. It reads more like an advert saying, "hey there's more depth to Fallout 3 and NV." Ok.....Then again, some of the responses to the article are even dumber. What I have been thinking about is how Fallout New Vegas reflects our...

    How do you feel about Boone?

    I like Boone. Gave him the Gobi and he seemed to enjoy that. But if I give him Knock Knock,he just beats the crap out of that. Been with me throughout, but I just wish he had a bit more dialogue.

    Character Construction-

    Thanks. I was wonder what you thought of Intense Training? Useful? It also seems that Action Boy is flawed- doesn't seem to work very well. Many of the perks don't seem all that impressive. Is Sniper good? Charisma is the least important trait? I am used to high PE, IN, AG- a good...

    Firearms and their relation to crime figures

    DammitBoy, I wasn't going to call troll on you. Plenty of folks are calling you a troll and you do troll on a regular basis, but I know that your attention is mostly on sex and masturbation (as stated in the beard thread) so you're thinking about something else. Concentration is hard when you...
