A ballistic fist, along with the perk that lets melee and unarmed attacks ignore 15 DT, you can OHKO Deathclaws. It's beautiful.

Dang. I'm now level 25, and Deathclaws still scare me. I wish I'd known about that before I decided on Guns and Melee rather than Unarmed.

Sniper rifle or AM rifle's all you need, then.

I have no problems with deathclaws using my Riot Gun and That Machine (named .308). I even took down a Legendary Deathclaw without it hitting me or Boone.

I am on hardcore mode though, so most of the time Rex has to waite outside if the enemies are too tough up close or too far away ranged.

How is it even possible to start out as an unarmed character? I tried it once and just got gunned down by the powder gangers before I even got close.

Sneak, Use cover, dodge.

And yes, I probably should use the Sniper or AM rifle. I just love my Cowboy Repeater too much.

This only kind of works. Even the powder ganger/good springs fight offers up very little cover and lots and lots of people shooting at you.

I like the Cowboy Repeater too, but I traded it out for the .308, even though it was all sexy and modified.

I use VATS for most of my mid range shots, and the Hunting Rifle's got an insane VATS cost, so I only used it for the occasional sniping shot. I mostly use the rifle that shoots .44 magnum and the Cowboy Repeater at the moment.

I love my Sniper Rifle. I use it for short-to-long range shots without VATS. I also like the Laser RCW for spamming lasers all over. It's not incredibly effective unless you have a high Energy Weapons

My loudout differs between characters, but my most successful has been:
1. Cowboy Repeater, despite that annoying bug with reloading it
3. Broad machete, or ballistic fist when I find it
4. Sniper rifle, silenced
5. AM rifle

I spent most of the game without the latter two, struggling, found a sniper rifle for about 3k caps, bought it, never looked back. It's almost overpowered.

Boone died for me on hardcore mode. I have been struck with a strange feeling of sadness and loss.

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 all the time, with a high unarmed skill. Really, Really nasty.

Fixed that for you.

Yeah, my guns/energy character did it at level 25 and it was still very painful. Tried entering the tent twice, both times and ED-E (armor enhanced) and Veronica died super fast. I then tried drawing them outside, but still lost the fight because I couldn't fight back being knocked down all the time.

Finally I remembered I'd been storing all the mines I've found in ED-E's inventory. So I trapped the hell out of the path leading to the tent (at least 40 frag mines), tell companions to wait far away, and lured Caesar's bodyguards along the long trail of death.

I VAT killed the guard mutt when I first stepped into Caesars tent, then shot Caesar before he could teleport anywhere.  I ran forward so that me and Veronica were blocking the chokepoint then I just hid behind the wall and kept feeing Veronica stimpacks while she killed the other guards.

It still isn't done, but I played the Fallout 3 version and it was awesome. You get to run a settlement that needs resources to build and expand, you can create several different types of structure, like defense, which will include a howitzer that actually fires mini-nuke shells.

Hey guys.
I'm jumping into the topic,  :P

I'm level 30 now, I did a load of side-quests before going to Mr. House / Benny.
Man, this game has A LOT of stuff to do.

But the main thing is:
I did all the annoying quests Red Lucy of The Thorn gives you, and after receiving the reward, I did something to get Red Lucy a little more..sexy?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm going to rape the Legion now, brb.

--
Great, I can't do it. First I need to find ED-E
Anyone had the glitch where ED-E would randomly disappear?
I can't get him back  :'(

It honestly feels like a lot of their problems came from the fact that their entire team was composed of cats, and the people who were supposed to be herding them were also cats.
