Wasteland Wanderer
So I've just started playing Fallout New Vegas again, this time I'm roleplaying. Does anyone have any tips or techniques they use to add to the realism?
- Hardcore mode obviously
- Walk, don't run (in most situations)
- No fast travel
- 7-9 hours sleep a night
- Neglecting some dialogue
- Play to your SPECIAL and Tags and Traits
- Eat and drink x2 for companions.
- HUD Opacity all the way down
- Limit how many weapons you can carry and what loot you pick up.
- Add skillpoints to only those skills that were used between levels.
- Choose perks based on what your character has done or learned
- Realistic injuries:
Is there anything else you guys can think of?
I'm not after builds for roleplaying, more just the techniques for roleplaying.

- Realistic injuries:
- If one of your legs is crippled, walk slower than your max speed, and if both legs are crippled, walk very slowly.
- After major battles, rest (wait or sleep) in order to recover from whatever injuries you may have suffered. Use Med-X religiously
- When one of your arms is crippled, rely on one-handed guns like pistols or melee weapons like knives.
- If your chest or head has been crippled, don't eat. It would hurt to swallow.
