2xfoI think I'm going to start a game of Fallout New Vegas with a low intelligence build. I've always prioritized skill points which intelligence grants at level up
#falloutNewVegas
#falloutNewVegas
I beat it for the first time in hardcore mode recently so I'll probably do that again. Maybe I'll go for the toughest difficulty too #falloutNewVegas
As long as I'm up to new things maybe I'll complete the game for Caesar #falloutNewVegas
6 strength
4 perception
5 endurance
9 charisma
1 intelligence
7 agility
8 luck
If I cared about intelligence i might have or another point into endurance. (That makes sense if you know)
That agility and strength should mean i can use guns and unarmed ok, and I'm maxxing charisma so i can have strong companions that won't all die on me this time.
Luck is just fun, i dunno

After my psych eval i got tagged in Speech, Melee, and Unarmed. I forgot ammo has weight in hardcore mode so i could just punch things for a while, but taking two hand to hand skill tasks seems a little much. Oh dang, my Repair skill is only at 8, lol. I think i may need to be able to rely on my fists.
I never really mess with explosives that could be fun

I need to accept that I'm not going to open every door and hack every computer this playthrough
#falloutNewVegas
#falloutNewVegas
I changed the melee tag to explosives

Trying more new things, I'm forgoing the Wild Wasteland trait in favor of Hot Blooded and Loose Cannon. So when my health drops below half i do more +10% damage but have -2 agility and perception, and i can throw things 30% faster but i lose 25% of my range. These both sound like bad ideas to me but,, let's go!

I followed Sunny Smiles for a while and learned all her lessons before venturing up past a fallen radio tower to kill a bunch of giant geckos with my machete. Level 2!
It comes with 11 skill points 😅🙃

Usually i would go for repair or science or lockpick but I'm playing dumb so I'm putting it all in unarmed. I plan to punch things with my bare fists (i think i mentioned I'm awful at repair)
Ok actually i put one point into explosives to unlock the Heave, Ho! perk, allowing me to throw things faster and farther. I wanna get ridiculous throwing things speed, i dunno why

OMG I'm to dumb to disarm a bear trap, lol. I'm not sure I've ever seen that. New Things!
#falloutNewVegas
#falloutNewVegas
So when i found the bear trap it was because a gecko ran into it for me. So I used the gecko carcass to trigger another bear trap and that works 🥲

I beat Ringo at caravan, and Cobb said he doesn't want my help to take over Goodsprings 🙃
I think this is the first time i got everyone in the town to work with me and i only read one magazine. Dynamite, leather armor, stimpacks, the whole town to back us up -- Joe Cobb is going down!
#falloutNewVegas
#falloutNewVegas
I blew myself up with dynamite, lol
#falloutNewVegas
#falloutNewVegas
I got Cobb on the second try. I used some more of the throwing spears. I'm almost out of throwing spears..
Trudy sells me stuff and buys things from me at cost now. I have a thousand caps already and i suck at barter. I think i sold some dlc outfits and stuff though which helps

Coyotes are hard to kill with my fists, they keep running. I followed one to a cave and went in with my machete. Level 3!
#falloutNewVegas
#falloutNewVegas
I only got ten skill points this time? It was eleven at level 2 🤔
#falloutNewVegas
#falloutNewVegas
I put one point into speech and the other nine into unarmed. My fists will pound stuff!, and stuff
Seriously though it's at fifty now. I'm level three and my unarmed is halfway to max

#falloutNewVegas
I felt kinda bad wandering into a coyote cave and murdering all the yotes but they killed some people. I didn't know that at first but still
#falloutNewVegas
#falloutNewVegas
"stick to the roads" they told me. Well i dead recon i can't do that
#falloutNewVegas
#falloutNewVegas
The geckos sound like the martians from Mars Attacks!
#falloutNewVegas
#falloutNewVegas
Ok I got followed by power gangers into a shack and they killed me I'm gonna call it for tonight
Last night i used a stealth boy to evade the powder gangers that followed me into the skydiving shack, and then i blew them up with a grenade launcher. I swear these dlc packs are ridiculous and a little unbalanced but that was fun. #falloutNewVegas
I'm trying to get ED-E going but I'm really dumb so i need parts. I am having trouble finding sensor modules #falloutNewVegas
I'm visiting the doctor in Goodsprings a lot. Turns out hardcore mode and explosives are a difficult combination to do when you are dedicated to being dumb #falloutNewVegas
I have never focused on barter in this game and i never seem to hurt for caps too much. I think having good relations with a few vendors helps a lot. Trudy buys stuff from me at face value, for example. Her wallet isn't huge but I'm in town every day to see the doctor anyway 🙃 #falloutNewVegas
He didn't. His house didn't either.
Anyway
I'm playing stealth and melee as much as i am explosives. I just snuck up on a jackal gang member south of Prim and killed him with one hit from my machete

I cleared the highway patrol station of two gang members and some giant mantises. Level 5! #falloutNewVegas
Ten points to explosives. Hopefully, eventually, i won't blow myself up with them?
My strongest skills now are Unarmed 50, speech 40, explosives 40. My weakest skills are Repair 8, science 8, medicine 10. I want to put points into survival but i just played a game like that and I'm trying to do things differently,,? therefore explosives #falloutNewVegas
Shoot, i forgot i saw the blue star bottle cap collector last night! He arrived inside of Bison Steve's Hotel in Prim, and apparently he's the only person that their elevator works for! No really, he came out of a broken elevator to warn me about collecting fancy bottle caps. I had to kill him of course. Deputy Beagle didn't seem to mind.
Oh right, Prim needs a sheriff still #falloutNewVegas

The highway patrol station does not have a sensor module #falloutNewVegas
