    As above, or you could recruit Veronica and she will speak into the intercom and you'll be allowed in as her guest

    The neat little touches

    Thanks very much for that, I'm gonna try it out tonight :) Little touches I've found: - A locked bathroom door in a hotel room with a skeleton in the bathtub with a razor blade and lots of drugs on the floor - The Evil Garden Gnome I randomly stumbled upon in the cave where the...

    Females in Caesars Legion

    Just finished a 'dumb blonde' playthrough where I sided with the Legion, and was a little bit disappointed that there weren't too many changes to the Legion's motivations or opinions on women when it came to the character. The only restriction I came across was that I wasn't allowed to fight in...

    Factions on the side

    Also, I loved how by the time you meet the Boomers via a quest you would've already had weapons confiscated from many places, but when you ask them if you'll be searched they just give you a surprised response along the lines of "Why would we want to do that? To bear arms is every man's right"...

    Factions on the side

    The Boomers were by far my favourite minor faction and Nellis Air Force Base had some excellent quests. Bringing the sunken bomber to the surface of the water was a fantastic moment, and I just loved the amount of detail that went into explaining the logic behind everything; basically, "why...

    arcade gannon **character spoilers**

    This is a great thread and I'm glad to see such well thought-out discussion as well as the general appreciation of how the gay characters in FNV weren't your typical flaming queens, steering well away from tired old cliches. Just goes to show what you can do with well-written characters with...

    Tribal genocide

    Yes I know, that's where she should be but I already met her before the Papa Khan quest and that makes her and the other Khans disappear from that camp.

    Tribal genocide

    I took out the Van Graffs with Cass at my side, just stormed in and anti-materieled the lot of em after drinking an atomic cocktail and a whiskey. Cass and her riot shotty are a force to be reckoned with, and now she wears the black Van Graff Combat Armour as a big "F You". The Great Khans...

    Has anyone else killed Caesar yet? With their own gun?

    I can't stress enough how difficult it was to finish off Caesar and his Praetorian Guards in his tent on hardcore mode and hard difficulty...I had gone there with all my best weapons, but a single hit of their ballistic fists takes away half your HP! I ended up being addicted to almost every...

    Holy crap, things get awesome *Vegas spoilers*

    The ghouls [spoiler:7f205d1bb7]came up for me in the ending - I made that human sabotage the rockets, and in the slides it said that Novac rejoiced at the destruction of the ghouls, but that radiation leaked out of the debris and eventually made the town unlivable.[/spoiler:7f205d1bb7] Boone...

    "The game was rigged from the start"

    Another possibility is that the line is just consistent with the constant casino-speak Benny talks in, simply using that metaphor to express that the Courier - or whatever generic 6th courier was going to make that delivery - was always going to be ambushed. [spoiler:05c6b72132]So Yes Man...

    Just cause its BETTER doesn't make NV perfect...

    @mobucks Wow, that's dedication right there. A good thing about the quest design is that many of them can be solved at the same town, even if it involves travelling back and forth to do so. With experience I'm sure that one can figure out the most efficient order in which to do quests to save...

    What the Chosen One left behind

    So at the end of Fallout 2, the Chosen One establishes New Arroyo but what else did he leave behind and what path did he choose? I'm just piecing together the references to him and working out some additional lore in between the events of FO2 and New Vegas. - From what Cass tells us, Cassidy...

    Best companion equipment?

    It's much more powerful and quite hard to get your hands on, but absolutely worth it for unarmed fighters

    Just cause its BETTER doesn't make NV perfect...

    I've had it happen to me with weapons where my + modded weapons are 'on top of' the inventory listing, and giving it away reveals the other, non modded one, underneath. I've also accidentally picked up a fork or something when talking to Raul in Tabitha's shack and it's not listed anywhere...

    Just cause its BETTER doesn't make NV perfect...

    Excellent idea. I was really hoping that Caesar would give me a compelling reason to work for them, but his explanations fell flat and they're just too obviously 'the bad guys'.

    Just cause its BETTER doesn't make NV perfect...

    Apart from the radscorpions always getting stuck in the ground and using high environmental ledges to avoid deathclaws, the only immersion-breaker for me is using fast travel. I was so determined at the start of the game to play through on Hard in Hardcore Mode and walk everywhere, and was...

    Best companion equipment?

    I'm having great difficulty deciding between Cass and Arcade, and I'm currently just taking my time with Arcade until his personal quest unlocks. Although I do love Boone's spotter perk, but after having already gone back to Bitter Springs there's not too much more personality wise that he can...

    Things you *aren't* pleased to see

    The darkness in the some places. I understand that many locations are deliberately very dark due to low power sources or heavy enclosure, like McCarran Airport and the vaults, but man, I'm using Cateye or that special Nuka Cola for everything. And yes, fair enough, that's what it's there...

    Will Obsidian make another FO?

    Agreed. If future Beth games built on their East Coast lore and kept things to that side of the country, learning from the great new implementations in New Vegas, that's fair enough for me. Ideally, and with a good amount of thought and writing ability (yeah I know, [insert Beth abuse here] :P)...
