It still is your main source of points, 0.5 SPs per point of INT (they don't round in FNV). Keep in mind the implants you can get later in the game for +1 to each stat. I am playing a high Strength, high Intelligence, 1 Charisma, above average everything else Unarmed/Energy Weapon...

I'm level 8 and even I still run from Giant Radscorpions. They aren't pushovers like they were in Fallout 3. They have stupid high DT and can four to six shot me through Metal Armor + Metal Helmet.

Since the game is so old, I'll leave out spoiler tags. In KotOR 1, yes, you were a bad guy who "lost his memory." You are the tragic action hero, the Anakin Skywalker, the good guy who went bad to save the galaxy from the True Sith, who has a shot at redemption for your crimes. In...

The d3d9.dll file should go into "A:\XYZ\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas\" where A is usually "C" and XYZ is usually "Program Files" or, for 64-bit users, "Program Files (x86)." When you do this, make sure New Vegas is closed. When you open the launcher again, it will redetected your...

You didn't get the Star Wars reference? Come on, I was dying from laughter for five minutes because of Owen and Beru.

A few things: 1) Powder Gangers ARE bad. They steal, pillage, and terrorize. Nothing about them is good at all. Most of them are escaped convicts as well. 2) Caesar's Legion, on the other hand, is not "bad," but they do evil things in order to purge the sinful and the weak for the greater...

@A_9_Yr_Old_Girl_ Like Lexx stated, Repair doesn't stop you from maxing out an item's CND. Instead, it makes it more efficient to repair items--you may need 5 laser rifles to max yours at 30 Repair, but only 2 laser rifles at 100 Repair--and convert between ammo types at a Reloading Bench.

Regarding Caesar: From everything you learn about him and his legion up to Nipton, Caesar seems to mimic Col. Kurtz from Apocalypse Now. His methods are "unsound" although everything he is doing is for the greater good. It spoke to me almost instantly, and the screenshot of Caesar even looks...

FNV does not scale everything to your level, unlike FO3. Tougher enemies will have more damage threshold (flat damage reduction from all attacks) and do more damage than the quest enemies you engage with if you played the game like "normal." Needless to say, a level 6 shouldn't be anywhere...

The Sturdy Caravan Shotgun packs a punch. The Cowboy Repeater beats it in every way outside of close range, but if you play like a proper Shotgun Surgeon and run into close range you can instagib people in one blast to the face.

It's the morality behind it. These people just had their homes pillaged and looted. They have very little money because the Gangers took away everything and no tourists will want to visit anymore because of the bad press. Sure, the NCR needs to be paid and is spreading its forces thin, but...

The way key non-combat skills work in Fallout 3 is that they are an "all or nothing." Science only offered new things every 25 points, as did Lockpick. Repair determined the maximum you could repair items. In New Vegas, Science is used to also mod Energy Weapons, convert energy ammo, and even...

Well, about Moira... [spoiler:0a6da70d74] The barkeep in Sloan has the same model, pseudo-mustache and all. When I first saw her the idea of Moira popped into my head, so her first lines sounded like Moira speaking. I was ready to stab my eye out with a fork, call the cops to come to my...

Repair and Science also help you more efficiently create/convert ammo for Guns and Energy Weapons, respectively, at Reloading Benches and Workbenches, so these skills have more direct involvement with combat.

Overcharged cells are the same as armor penetration ammo IIRC (-enemy DT, +10% damage, -CND). Max charge on the other hand is the same as hollow point IIRC, where it does the maximum +damage but also increases enemy DT. Regarding mods, I can't say, but energy weapons will most likely have...

Wow. Getting through this town was not only super fun but very intellectually charged. Huge plot spoiler below. [spoiler:d48c7edfe3] In determining the new sheriff, I decided "hey, I hate the Gangers because they are evil, so let me go to Mojave Outpost and get some military support from the...

Confirmed. I leveled my Unarmed to 50 yesterday and, with 8 Strength and my Bladed Gauntlet and Brass Knuckles, was able to perform fairly low-AP costing Uppercut attacks (6 Agility, was able to queue up three in a row whereas with most guns I can only queue two attacks). @Ausdoerrt - what...

Agreed. If FO4 doesn't improve on FNV, then people are going to bitch enough and pan the game. That being said, my hope is the same as yours: either Bethesda ramps the fuck up and maintains Fallout's moral ambiguity and highly philosophical/political themes or they continue hiring Obsidian to...

I have this issue as well. Anytime I want to fight multiple people outside in the Mojave Wasteland and begin to fight in close range, my FPS lags and I get owned. I want to try that fix, but I just downloaded a 250MB patch via Steam, so I am going to see how that plays out first.

In all fairness, I was running to Arefu for the Blood Ties quest at level 4 in my first FO3 playthrough and for some reason the game thought it was okay to randomly spawn a Super Mutant Brute at the drive-in theater. I got destroyed by a missile launcher and couldn't do a lick of damage with my...
