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
#falloutNewVegas
#falloutNewVegas
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!
#falloutNewVegas
#falloutNewVegas
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 π π

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 π₯²
#falloutNewVegas
#falloutNewVegas
I beat Ringo at caravan, and Cobb said he doesn't want my help to take over Goodsprings π
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

#falloutNewVegas
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 π€
#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 π #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

#falloutNewVegas
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
I should probably go to the NCR camp to the south but i kinda wanna see if i die trying to kill ants on the lakebed #falloutNewVegas
Well i killed a bunch of giant ants and a couple bark scorpions but the jackal gang members got me at the South end of the racetrack.
Maybe I'll just kill a bark scorpion and go try that poison lasagna or whatever that lady in Prim makes with it

#falloutNewVegas
Dang, Ruby can't make her famous casserole with bark scorpion poison, it's gotta be rad scorpion #falloutNewVegas
I gave up on killing bugs and went to Mojave Outpost. I forgot i took the Confirmed Bachelor perk. Apparently the NCR isn't as friendly about certain kinds of relations as Caesar's Legion #falloutNewVegas
I've been playing Caravan this playthrough. Basics: get stacks between 21 and 26 or so before your opponent does, but the face cards do weird things instead of counting for points
I set my deck up with only 5s 7s 9s 10s and all face cards. No aces. So far i haven't lost so maybe it's working for me #falloutNewVegas
I forgot i have crazy good luck, that might help my Caravan wins as much as my half-baked card strategy π #falloutNewVegas
Man, the bartender at Mohave Outpost likes to play Caravan for big pots! I took her ante twice for about 1200 total caps and now I'm going to Nipton #falloutNewVegas
I wonder if they run out of money or stop wanting to play at some point π€
How did i not know cars could blow up in this gameβ½ #falloutNewVegas
Thomas came out of nowhere and told me his new girlfriend tried to rob him of his lucky bottle cap necklace.
I'm not a good person, but now i have a lucky bottle cap necklace! #falloutNewVegas
I'm not a good person, but now i have a lucky bottle cap necklace! #falloutNewVegas
Oh yeah, Nipton is on fire, isn't it. Ok, let's advance plot #falloutNewVegas
So i shot the lottery winner before he could talk to me because it always annoys me a little bit.
In the general store i checked out Boxcar in VATS and found his legs weren't ~totally~ crippled so i shot them. Suddenly he can walk! Lol. These guys are powder gangers anyway so even if my conduct is gross it's good karma Β―\_(γ)_/Β― #falloutNewVegas

I've never worked with Caesar before, it feels wrong. But I'm gonna #falloutNewVegas
I finally found a second sensor module! I can turn ED-E on! #falloutNewVegas
Awesome, i finally got ED-E. I'm playing with high charisma which i think mostly helps with companion nerve, i.e. their power and health. So i was eating that potential without a companion. I was almost to Novac before i got him but, sweet! Now let's see how he fights #falloutNewVegas
Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit, it's my metal friend Victor! He's waiting at Novac for some reason that's surely not even suspicious at all #falloutNewVegas
I think i turned ED-E's offenses off by setting him to melee. I don't want him to attack the people of Novac even if i am kind of bullying them #falloutNewVegas
Confirmed Bachelor perk is pretty sweet actually. I just sweet talked a guy to skip a mission #falloutNewVegas
I mean, I'm still going to Repcon because of course you send religious ghouls into space to fulfill their leader's prophecy, but still
Oh man I'm evil. I pickpocketed the front desk lady and looked in her safe so i know she sold Boone's wife to slavers but i am working for the legion so i took Manny Vargas out in front of the Dino to be shot by Boone. I'm also keeping the contract so she won't be able to collect for the child that was expected to be born #falloutNewVegas
Now let's go be friends with Boone
Ok i need to have a little better speech skill before i can pull that off #falloutNewVegas
