2xfoI'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

#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

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 🙃 #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 🤔
How did i not know cars could blow up in this game‽ #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 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #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
I'll do that later So i took ED-E to kill some fire ants outside of Helios One and this robot is killer! He frenzied a bunch of them so they were fighting each other and then i could swing my sword at them with no resistance. Level 6!
Speech is a good skill for my charisma build so i think I'll invest 10 in that and 1 in melee
For the perk I'm between Lady Killer and Ferocious Loyalty. I think i should take the loyalty perk since I'm looking for extremely powerful companions to pull me through everything this game #falloutNewVegas

I wandered into vault 11. I am getting murdered by giant bugs #falloutNewVegas
Ok, I've opened the sacrificial chamber. I'm only level 6 and i know this will be a hard fight. I might not be able to do this yet, but I'm gonna try #falloutNewVegas
I'll come back to this another time. I might be able to eat everything in my inventory and shoot out the turrets before my foods wear off but it's unlikely
I beat it! Well, ED-E did mostly, i barely even took damage. Charisma, baby! #falloutNewVegas
Level 7!
Ten points to explosives brings it to 50 #falloutNewVegas

I negotiated NCR hostage release from the Great Khans. Level 8!
I'm putting points into repair because there's a perk to get bomb recipes that i want. I'm taking the Demolition Expert perk for +20% explosives damage now #falloutNewVegas

I cleared out the "demons" for the ghouls and they are ready to launch in their rockets. I think i might try to sabotage them.. Just to be different from my other playthroughs #falloutNewVegas
"you found a console with a bunch of numbers and keys. None of it means much to you. - mash buttons or do nothing."
I mashed buttons. Apparently I felt better for doing it, lol
The rockets launched like they usually do 🙃 #falloutNewVegas
Level 9! I'm putting all ten points into speech so i can get Boone to follow me after making him shoot the wrong person. #falloutNewVegas
I bought out the Dino store inventory of useless trinkets after seeing them up to keep getting them, so i guess that was really valuable work for them? Lol.
The toy rockets don't weigh anything so that's easy money to carry off.
I smoothed things over with Boone but i forgot he's anti legion (seems pretty obvious given everything) so i don't think we're gonna roll together. Oh well #falloutNewVegas
This guy sold me the key to his closet and I'm just selling all the things in it back to him for a big profit. I thought MY character was supposed to be the dumb one, LOL #falloutNewVegas
I did clear a barter check with my roving trader outfit, so that helped

I went back to Mojave Outpost and told them about the legion. Got a bunch of experience points. Then i decided to take ED-E to Old Lady Gibson. I forgot i stole the rocket parts from her earlier but she doesn't seem to know #falloutNewVegas
I was collecting conductors and fusion batteries to override the robot at Vicki and Vance casino. Primm Slim is the town sheriff now, baby. Level 10! #falloutNewVegas
I put all 11 points until repair because i want the bomb making perk, and I'm taking Miss Fortune because I'm playing a ridiculous luck build.
"Just when your enemies think they have the upper hand, Miss Fortune appears to turn their world upside down. Appearing only in VATS she had the ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory." #falloutNewVegas
I ran into Veronica. I think she will be a good companion for me this playthrough. She asked me about The Brotherhood of Steel and i said "i heard they shoot lasers out of their eyes" and she called me stupid for a really long time, it was great #falloutNewVegas
I played earlier today and i wish i hadn't because i got ED-E and Veronica killed in the Ultra Luxe casino 😠
I'm playing on PC with a controller and i don't think there's a quick save button ship my previous save file where they aren't dead is like half my game ago 😮💨
So i think they stay dead which i really don't like but this is hardcore mode on the hardest difficulty so i guess i can accept the consequences for my stupid door opening button press 🙃

Oh yeah, one funny thing with low intelligence: at the New Vegas medical clinic the doctor said she had implants. I asked her about the "lil plants" so she explained it again before suggesting i get the intelligence module first
#falloutNewVegas
#falloutNewVegas
It was a slog getting out of the casino. I managed to save Ted Gunderson with a couple of stealth-boys and by wearing a White Glove Society outfit. I was too dumb to do any of the fun stuff like poisoning the wine or cooking fake human steaks
#falloutNewVegas
I told Ted's dad to stop selling food to the city. I'm sure that will make for a bleak slide in the final reel
This action was so awful that the street vendor will not sell to me now #falloutNewVegas
I finally talked to Benny after he shot me in the head. I used my barter skill to get him to pay off my contract and then he stood me up in the presidential suite. But i talked him out of trying to kill me a second time.
#falloutNewVegas
#falloutNewVegas
I'm not sure I've ever talked to Yes Man while Benny was still alive. I wonder how this goes
#falloutNewVegas
#falloutNewVegas
Huh, i thought Benny was doing me a favor by letting me live but for some reason he bailed town so i guess i get to work with Yes Man
#falloutNewVegas
#falloutNewVegas
Level 12! (I made eleven earlier)
I put a bunch of points into repair and now I'm taking the Mad Bomber perk, because i want more bombs

I decided i want a companion. Specifically Rex. So i did the Osiris Tour. But I'm really dumb and I'm trigger happy so when his friends pretend to die i blow them up with a grenade launcher. Osiris doesn't like that so he joins the fight until he sees he's not gonna win. Sorry Osiris, if you hadn't tricked a dummy with grenades you would still be alive. #falloutNewVegas
The King thinks I'm a bloodthirsty lackey. I guess that suits me for now #falloutNewVegas
While i was investigating bad mojo between locals and NCR i happened to stumble upon and collect some debts for the Garretts. So i finished doing that, and now I'm setting up a deal between the Garretts and the Followers of the Apocalypse.
#falloutNewVegas
Now to find a sex robot

I found Santiago first. Level 13! I put them points into explosives, it's at 60 now #falloutNewVegas
I'm playing blackjack at the Atomic Wrangler. My luck is crazy high so I'm winning a bunch and occasionally it stops to give me a drink. First it was a beer, this time it was whiskey. #falloutNewVegas
They gave me a dapper gambler's suit with a hat and a bottle of Rum and Nuka-Cola, which i didn't know existed
#falloutNewVegas
They haven't kicked me out yet
#falloutNewVegas

There it is! The first time I've ever been removed for winning too much #falloutNewVegas
I decided to freelance as a door guard for the Van Degraffs. Pacer from the Kings came over last thing. The other guy went inside to get paid so i followed Pacer and killed him in the street with my katana. I didn't expect good karma for that but the guy did suck #falloutNewVegas
Edelruth, PBS Passport HolderThe leveling is sooo slow.
