[Gabeux]

he probably set off a mine or trap, and when he got knocked unconcious got stuck in the ground

Yeah. It was that glitchy quest.

Vault 22

I just finished the game, it was awesome.

[Megaman]

Hardcore. mode killed ED-E, Boone, and Rex for me. Dammit.

[kilakan]

that's why I go solo in hardcore mode, don't need anyone to rely on but my own revolver.

[kcwong]

That's why I haven't tried hardcore mode yet. I am not done with all the followers yet. The followers are hard to control - they often run off to get killed, and there's little you can do about it. Plus the faction bugs in various NCR places.

I just found the YCS/168, is it worth leveling energy weapons for this or should I stick to my AM rifle with matchloads and lvl 100 guns?

Stick to guns.
Yes, that weapons is very effective, but so are guns and you don't need to waste points.

[Sergius]

You probably won't have enough points to max most of your skills, even by level 30 with all the learning perks.

So it's probably a choice between Guns vs Energy, and Unarmed vs Melee (pick 1 of each... even pick a single one if you're sure you'll always fight ranged OR melee).

Unless you mod it, the perks don't work that way. With the vanilla perks it's Gun + Energy v.s. Unarmed + Melee. Many perks require you to be good at both ranged or closed fighting skills.

I meant the perks that give you extra skill points to spend each level, and from books.

Hmm, the Viki & Vance must have some brutally stacked odds on their slots. I started with 1000 caps, set the bet to 1 and used an autoclicker to spin every 10 seconds while letting the PC run overnight.

To my surprise when I checked today I was down to 500 caps on my luck 10 character.

Did I ran into a statistical anomaly or is caravan the only profitable gambling activity?

Speaking of caravan, are there any mods that make the AI less retarded at it?

[kilakan]

only certain people are bad at caravan, if you try any of the high rollers they can finish you in 4 moves.  But ya slots SUCK hardcore, blackjack, roulette c(if you know how to play) and caravan are all good.  Caravan is the best but you can only win so much from each person....

[Megaman]

I actually have done pretty well with an energy\gun hybrid.

[Rakonas]

Slots are easy as hell to win. I had a luck 10 character rush to vegas at level 2 and get kicked out of 3 casinos in rapid succession after winning the jackpots in the slot machines. Didn't really play that character afterwards..

[mainiac]

I've only played luck 9 and luck 10 characters so far and I've found that slots are ridiculously profitable for me.  I've hit the maximum jackpot possible and find that I can get thrown out of a casino in about 10 minutes on average by betting the max.

[Asehujiko]

I just noticed how badly thought out the entire legion is. Their "hurr ancient cultures are awesome" attitude is stupid enough but they could really do without their cartoonish evilness. They might as well replace all their banners with signs saying "we set puppies and kittens on fire for fun". The game's setting would be significantly improved if it was about the struggle between the not-quite-good NCR and the equally not-quite-good Mr. House without the "LOOK AT ME, I'M EVIL" team and the "kill 'em all" ending via a deus ex machina giant doom army that a side character just had lying around.
