alright I guess this is the start of the new vegas thread (playing with viva new vegas extended)

first impressions from my first hours of gameplay: I'm not yet completely bought on the game, mostly the gunplay being.. shaky at best due to tanky enemies and inconsistent accuracy (when I was like lv2 I tried shooting a gecko with a shotgun and it felt like the pellets were actively drawing an outline of the target) (or even funnier, when sunny smiles gave me the varmint rifle at the very beginning to shoot some bottles, NONE of the shots would land unless I got within spitting distance of the targets), I'm pretty sure that'll get better as my stats improve though

I guess the world isn't exactly as monotone as it seems from the outside

one of my major gripes so far besides the gunplay is the incredibly clunky inventory and shop UI, and the way going over your carry weight by even just 1lb instantly turns you into a particularly squishy turtle (though I'm willing to take the blame for that cause only after closing the game I realized I should stash things I don't immediately need back in goodsprings or whatever)

also because I hate myself I started in hardcore, I'm fine with gradual healing, but water and food feel more of a chore than anything, so I might disable it later on if I get tired of it

regardless of the negatives I'll definitely keep playing though, I'm fairly sure the game gets a whole lot better once I get far enough
