I don't know about you guy's but everytime im finished with a canned item I shove it down my throat.

So anyone remember my issues with the intro video in this game? Well, they're still there. I downloaded the Bink video player and played the video through it, and it ran just fine. So I'm pretty sure that there's nothing wrong with the video itself. I know that Bink video normally plays well with my system - KOTOR2 uses Bink video as well, and it's had zero issues playing cutscenes. So what the hell is it with FNV's intro video? My GoogleFu has failed me, anything I turn up about problems with the intro video has to do with crashes on playing the video, the wonky headspinning thing Dr. Whatshisname sometimes does, etc.

I'll try recording the intro video ingame with FRAPS and uploading it to YouTube to see if anyone has any ideas.

If you're having trouble with video like that playing, this can usually be resolved via downloading and installing the Combined Community Codec Pack.

No promises that it'll be a silver bullet, but in my experience, it's resolved all video playback problems I've ever had.

Are there any other ammo selling shops besides the one in your hometown where you kill everyone and the shop with an ugly robot selling you stuff?
I've got a lot of cash but no ammo, I don't really need ammo because I have Veronica with me but it's still fun to shoot people...

Near where you met Veronica there's one, army surplus store or something.

I went there and I noticed a few things:
1. There are NCR guards
2. NCR guards are hostile to me
3. The NCR guys suddenly have power armor
4. Veronica isn't as tough as I thought
5. vista sucks

I'll try to go there again and I hope Vista won't crash again >.>

I'm almost 80% sure that when you finish the boomers quest you get access to a pretty good ammo store.  And the great Khans have a ammo store there.  But ya early game really lacks ammo stores, it seems the only vendors are random merchants early on.

[Astral]

Most towns have some sort of general merchant that has some forms of ammo. They may not always carry what you're looking for.  Gun Runners is your best bet later for, well, Guns, and the Silver Rush for Energy Weapons.

Barring that, with a bit of Luck, and the Scrounger perk that increases ammo drops from containers (I think it's a 100% increase; correct me if I'm wrong) go scavenging a bit.

Things get better later in the game. As a gun-user, my character had well 1500 (!) Microfusion Cells. Mostly because of the perk. Made me want to find the YCS/186.

[kilakan]

anyone else find that around level 10, most enemies carry grenade rifles?  It's a real pita on hardcore mode, limping almost 24/7 now.......

[Acanthus117]

Pfft, just use the power of sneak crits, bro.

SNEAK CRITS EVERYWHERE

[Bdthemag]

I really didn't meet anyone with explosives at level 10, guess it might be just your unlucky

Anyways whats your guys favorite character type to have? I prefer the smooth-talking scientist who knows how to fire a gun, since I use intelligence and charisma the most. I picked an extremely lucky guy who is skilled in Laser Weapons for my hardcore playthrough, the extra luck certainly make things alot more interesting.

[Angel Of Death]

I like having a character with a maxed intelligence, slightly above average strength and some luck. I always advance on weapon skills before other skills.

[kilakan]

I'm usually the not so talkitive, mercenary type guy.  I usually get a moderate sneak skill, high guns, barter, melee, and survival.  I end up almost always neutral, and everyone ends up either really liking me or really hating me.  I happen to get along with the legion very badly since whenever one of them says come on, jsut shoot me.  I do.  I even gunned down that guy you get to meet in nipton, so much fun with a 9mm machinegun and a hella lot of ammo.  I usually get high luck, agi, above average str, endurance, normal int, and dump stat cha.

[Angel Of Death]

I'm usually good, then evil, then good again. I kill who and when I please.

[Mysteriousbluepuppet]

Scientist, wih a smooth mouth and reaaaaaaaally good hands in luck game. I'm almost always a wimp with low dex, str and cons, but high speech repair and a good weapon skill.

Really, i always end up with the same char, or about. Max SCIENCE and int gives you acces to the best reward and most satisfying dialogues (Silas got his ass handed to him). I change wich weapon i use. Started mad scientist (YCS, Gauss, Plasma, etc), then ''samurai'' (shishkebab, bumper sword for the style) cowboy (sequoia and knife) kung fu(unarmed) and of course sniper. Mix up wich mercenary take depending on build (Cowboy and Raoul, for example)

Allowed me to almost complete the game 5 times. I start, reach lvl 25-28, then think of a new build and start over.
