I believe there's a few ambassador missions that eventually lead up to you giving him the platinum chip, and thus control over New Vegas.

[Capntastic]

Damage Threshold can just fuck right off. I cannot kill all the Deathclaws in Quarry Junction without either setting up a minefield (and so far all my mines hasn't been enough) or exploiting AI by perching in an unreachable spot. It's ridiculous. Definitely needs some Nerfing.

No actually deathclaws are supposed to be really hard.

So I've been playing this for a few days, and I say, the NCR Assault on the Powder Ganger hideout was quite remarkable. Fat Man explosions tore apart the fences.

Also what the hell, a whole Incinerator Fuel Tank can't even kill a mature deathclaw, let alone the Alpha male.

Calhoun, I was wondering about that too, but so far I think the only way to side with them is to do their quests and gain favor. Eventually

they'll be giving you an emergency radio, and extremely important NCR quests.. as if you were one of their own. Though they often mention that you're not a part of their group. It's kind of lame, you'd think that being recruited would make more sense, but "the savior of the NCR" isn't good enough for that? I know for a fact that you can fight for them on the Hoover dam without having to take control of New Vegas. You do have to get rid of House, but you don't have to do anything beyond that.

I had the radio. I just figured I was meant to use it in a tight spot, though come to think of it that doesn't make much sense. Curse my complacency! Ah well. Gonna reload the save I made before I set everything in motion anyways to finish up a ton of sidequests. I'll see what happens.

Just wondering...

Was anyone else half expecting Mr. House to start raving about how A man chooses, a slave obeys?

Hard vs invulnerable. Deathclaws should not be impervious to artillery fire.

I think I'm gonna wrap up my first playthrough soon and then put this away for a few months of patching and modding. While Obsidian have hit closer to the mark than most of their previous games and the world they've woven is better than Fallout 3, things like the Faction system are 100 percent broken.

I agree with the deathclaws... it's a good thing I got myself that prototype tasla baecon weapon from the crashed vertibird so I can finally do some good damage to it... comman weapons such as 10M Submachine gun's, Lazer/plasma Rifle's, and other low level weapon can hardly get rid of them and Giant Red-Scorpions with hollow point bullets/overcharge ammo.

Spoiler: Brotherhood Of Steel (click to show/hide)

Seems I have to kill the brotherhood. I did the first quest line so that Hardin would become the new elder, but it ain't happening. Anyone know a fix for this?

[Shadowlord]

Yeah, DT is shit. Especially when you take headshots and the person doesn't take much damage due to his armor WHICH DOESN'T COVER HIS HEAD.

You know something is wrong when you decide that the best way to defeat your enemies would be to obtain a miniature giant space hamster.

Go for the eyes, Boo, go for the eyyyyeeessss!

[Leonon]

Deathclaws have 15DT and 250 health (500 health for alphas). If you're using AP ammo then their DT isn't the problem. If you're using HP ammo then they have 45DT though, so switch ammo types.

Sniper rifle+JSP ammo+stealth critical+headshot=one hit kill on deathclaw. They're mean but still far from invincible.

People on DF forums complaining about difficulty in games. Tsk tsk... disappointing.

Deathclaws are easy peasy. They are hard in the beginning for a reason... you're not supposed to kill them yet! This game is an RPG, just gain a few levels, get some better gear, and kick their arses later on.

Or if you want to be cheap. Just drag Boone along with you. He'll kill everything.

[Grakelin]

Guess you guys forgot what fighting Mother Deathclaw in Fallout One was like.

As laughable as the Primary needs are in Hardcore mode, your companions sure do gain mortality though. Boone would last all of 5 seconds.

Level 30 with Sniper Rifle and AP ammo.
