When I get a chance, I'm modding ED-E to play the Final Fantasy 7 victory music (assuming it hasn't already been done) when you finish a battle.

This may have been mentioned before, but:

Don't keep Veronica after lev 12, she's bugged and doesn't level up and is stuck at 215hp. Unless you use the fix mod. Which I'm not using yet, I'll just do the Veronica quests and then probably keep Cass.

Thank, I didn't notice it.
What's the difference, between the essential and the non essential version of the mod?
I don't really know which one I should get.

Essential is a flag on NPCs that says they can't die (they only pass out). Don't know why there's two versions, maybe Veronica isn't tagged as Essential in vanilla? Also I don't know if it makes any difference in Hardcore mode (where your companions can die permanently).

EDIT: Ok, in the comments, the author says he added the Essential bit so she can't die even on Hardcore. Which is kind of a cheat. She should be fine in normal mode anyway.

Thanks, in this case I'll take the non essential version.
With that PA I gave her, she shouldn't die anyway.

Believe me, she dies :) even with a fully repaired PA.

I'm at level 14 and you don't want her to be ganged up with two giant radscorpions.

It's manageable if you keep an eye on her health and use stimpacks on her.
She just tanked 2 nightkin and 4 super mutants :P

Those are kinda squishy.

Miniguns and buster swords still hurt up close.
But I also beaten smaller groups of radscorpions, so it really is manageable.

Giant Radscorpions are death. Sure, she punches them to bits in one hit, but you don't notice that she somehow got poisoned and she's dead before you can run over to her.

So the last mission on the Brother hood chain brought back some serious Fallout 2 memories.

Honestly, if you plan on playing through the game, and haven't gotten the mission to collect crap for the Brotherhood, I wouldn't recommend reading the spoiler. For me it was some of the best story telling I've seen in Fallout in a long time.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I am finding New Vegas a little frustrating, because I decide I am going to do one set of quests but on the way there I find an undiscovered location and a new set of quests. But then on the way to that quest I find a new set of quests and on and on. I am having a really good time but it is hard as hell to focus on one set.

I'm definitely a long-standing fan of the Fallout series, owning every game and DLC, and New Vegas is incredible. I found the Brotherhood of Steel at level 10, but they be guarded by a nice big Lockpick 100 door :I
Boone is a god among men, as Rex is a god among dogs. I would have been ripped apart by Deathclaws ten times over if not for them. All the same, though, I'm gonna try out Veronica soon.

I have to agree with Boone and Rex being gods. I would have been Cazador/Radscorpion bait so many times if it weren't for those two.

Also, Boones hatred for Caesar's Legion was awesome. I cleared out the Fort at level 15, because he asked me to.

Also, Ballistic fists are nasty at level 15. Really, Really nasty.

Also, Ballistic fists are nasty at level 15 all the time, with a high unarmed skill. Really, Really nasty.

Fixed that for you.

I hadn't seen anything nastier than spiked knuckles at the time, It took me by surprise just how powerful they were.
