Since I was the jerk who brought it up, you can save yourself a lot of frustration by using the grenade rifle when you find one. The best source of grenades early going is Johnson Nash in Primm.

you just wouldn't know how much it's easy to enter vats, shoot with the grenade rifle WHILE THE MONSTER GET'S CLOSER.
and be "shit shit shit DON'T SHOOT NOW IT'S TOO CLOSE BOOOM" ... at least, it's easy for me.
XD

I guess that's the difference, I never used VATS. I was forced to stop in Fallout 3 as patches slowly gutted the whole VATS system until it stopped working, and I never got back to it in NV.

[shadenight123]

vats in New vegas is even more screwed.

first: you'd shoot faster without it.
second: you can't move, which means, simply, that with hardcore mode enabled and all, if i don't move, i'm seriously only dead meat.
thirdly: why vats gives me 65% and never makes me hit, while if i auto aim i get the hit, i will never know.

it's utility is when you have a gun, you are in a surprise situation where you enter and go "shit i didn't expect BEHEMOTH" and in that instant you go in vats for: a breather, and to aim at his goddamn gatling laser weapon's ARM.

BUT NOW ANOTHER UPDATE (hell yeah, i make 'em as i play it)

And somebody tell me if i'm going fine/great/horribly.


We walk to our doom.
But i enjoy rapeing a dead body.
Did i mention i had the time for a snack?

*DISCLAIMER ATTENTION* Since it has been asked, the cannibal PERK has been TAKEN. From here on, it gets darker, and bloodier, as per the title of this chapter goes.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Be silent you! you're scaring them!
they need to know...they need to

first of all, i went back to Goodsprings. i needed to have my leg patched up, and in general my limbs healed. Then, i bought from the doc his medical supplies, bartering and giving him some more of my junk. so with two doctor's bag i should be fine.
From there, i went back to Primm, and from Primm, i started walking.
I didn't go a long way before encountering two things...or at least, one strange plus one normal:
i was sneaking, trying to back shoot somebody as usual...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

but then i heard gunshots. a quick look around, and then i saw nobody. Getting closer to the "rita's" cafè, i found out that they were dead. Killed by gunshots...and i heard others, this one from a "jackal" leader, which i headshotted to reason. Together with her best friend.
*bang* *bang*
i have this...you know...urge...
come on, calm down...calm down... grabbing the 9mm machinegun
we storm in in three...two...
ZERO! *TARATTATARATARATATATAAAAAA*
the two ladies inside were dead when i stopped shooting.
how did you know?
perception, inception, and i actually did do this before...i remember SOME things.
hmmm i don't know if it's legit or not...
i'm not dieing just because i have to fake not knowing there were two with guns inside ready to shoot.
Point taken.
wait...did you hear that?
*bzzz*
oh...NOOoooooOOoooooo STAY AWAY STAY AWAY *COMBAT KNIFE GRABBING*

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

after a truly gruesome fight, i emerge victorious...
maybe THIS is what they call SHOCK Therapy.
i don't care. let's scavenge.
i grab what i can and repair what i have broken. i'm missing a hat...sadly...

i realize there should be, and in fact there are, bathrooms...so that's were i go...
they're closed but i lockpick them open...just to find...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

i can't even have a drop in peace!?
*TONK TONK*

then i open the next door...an empty first aid kit...sheesh. leave something for this poor poor nice guy...karma, you evil evil bastard!

but then...karma kicks in...AGAIN

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You can do it if you really want...this is Shock therapy. Shock therapy.
can we just leave?
dead body might have things. nice things.
fine...fine... *TONKTONK OH MY GOD TONK TONK DIEEEEEE DIEEEEE*

Dead men tell no tales, but he DID have a cowboy repeater...
which after scavenging and making some ammo for it...i use.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

i thought i would have shot cows, or brahmins or something to EAT. Not giant motherofgod ANTS.
i then proceed throught the dry lake and...a ant colony, since i make my stand on the top of the dune while the cowboy repeater shoots ants off.
i proceed and hear...heck, i hear gunshots, again.
just my luck, two people are shooting each others.
i arrive just to see the man getting his head blown off by the girl.
And i wanted to enjoy the show!
the girls comes near me and says
heck he started hitting me speaking about starcaps!
really? there are star caps?
i don't know! i'm leaving!
i salvage thomas, just to read
Jacklyn agreed to be my escort! my star bottle caps are working. i sigh...why do chicks never be good? why?
*VATS MODE ACTIVATED*
wait! you could subdue her and then we could bang her and then kill h... *BANG BANG BANG* head explodes...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

you remember those urges?
well what of...no, no no You can't be doing this, ZIP BACK YOUR PANTS!!! NO NO NO oh god you're doing it...yep, you're doing it...okay...she's also without a head...good. Karma is REALLY GOING TO KILL US!
ohhh that felt great. she was still
I DON'T WANT TO KNOW ! just let's go...
just a sec, i alway get hungry after and...
wait...what are you doing with that knife...no, you can't chop...urgh...i think i'm going to puke.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

tasted delicious
i don't want to know...i'd love to have another stomach.
now we can move on.
thank god!

do you smell burning? like wood burning? and meat cooking?
...i feel like this is never going to end. i mean, is it a big deal?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

really WHY WHEREVER WE GO WE END UP IN DEEP SH*T! Can't we just, simply, stroll in a normal town, speak to normal people, and then LEAVE!? WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH THIS WASTELAND!?

oh, it also seems that in Nipton, they decorate their roads with heads on spears.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

maybe it's the last trend in fashion...maybe.
"you remember grandma? she has moved on with fashion, she is now a HEAD LAMP!"
*kids crying and all*

i enter the first store i find, and somebody is sitting on a chair.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

oh hell you want to kill me?! i got second place on the lottery and this is what i got: broken legs! but still i'm alive, don't you have Med-x?!
sold it all
yeah, i don't care. stupid lottery.

this explains the strange looking guy who yelled he had won the lottery. He was disturbing, so i magnum shot him in the back of his head when he came close.
guess he won the lottery of life Nipton wheel, but lost the Alex wheel.
so...you from nipton?
nah i'm a powder gange... *BANG*

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

WHY DID YOU DO IT!? HE WAS FROM THE GANG!!!
BECAUSE WE NEED GOOD KARMA!! CLEANSE YOUR SOUL YOU EVIL BASTARD! WE NEED TO CLEANSE OUR SOULS!
...oh...killing them gives good karma?
that i recall
so...i can have fun killing them...and earn good points? so i can then use them for bad points?
now wait, it's not like...
good by me! i then salvage all that i can...removing pieces of "boxcars" from the shelfs

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

i salvage also the second floor, after reading a magazine for opening a difficult lock.

i go out, near the town hall strange guys loom around...since i'm already in strange ville...i go closer

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

one of them stops me, and says:
good! go and spread the tale of our murders...
can i kill the one on the crucifixes?
i don't see a problem
fine thanks
that's all? no "oh evildoers?"
why? you're five plus four dogs, i'm not an idiot.
you will go far, kid...just mark my final words

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

then they leave...i look at the crucifixed powder gangers...
this is good karma, right?
now i don't think that adding humiliation to torture would...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

weapon of choice ready...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

presentat-arms!
please...just get over with... *TONK* *TONK* *TONK oh whiskey!* *TONK*

i then enter the hall, and realize that...mines are bound to appear in every nook and cranny.
*BEEP BEEP BUM!*
"AHAN! GOTCHA! i jumped right away!"
luckily i avoided that one and grabbed a strange key. which i discovered opened the nearby door to the cellars...i left a couple of mines outside, since i perceived enemies nearby in patrol.
This made my day.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

it was full, before i came by...

and then i see also a Gun cabinet.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

hmm...i suspect they didn't find the key when the legion invaded...
also because the mine detonate i have a look upstairs...BAD DOGS BAD! i jump down backwards, while i fire with the LASER RIFLE

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

nothing better than dog pelt ablaze huh?...
with that in mind, i am overcumbered.

too many things...but food is precious, water also...but i can't bunk up...something needs to be done...if only, i were, stronger!
that said, i will continue exploration...after a quick snack.

I can take Evil, but rape jokes aren't funny.

[NRDL]

I can take Evil, but rape jokes aren't funny.

Evil, cannibalism, torture=good

Rape jokes=bad. 

I agree. 

Also, shadenight, the way you fight is like a Great Khan.  They're supposed to be awesome melee fighters, but for some reason, every one of them that I've seen uses guns.  Can you join them, or at the very least, help them ( killing NCR soldiers left and right counts as helping them ). 

Good job so far, I love the conscience of Alex constantly losing against his evil and insanity. 

[shadenight123]

it's actually more of Necrophilia, all considered. But i'll keep it down.
There are prostitues in gomorra after all >.>
i'll try getting into the great khans, if they don't kill me first >.> XD

[Stworca]

What is this..? You didn't beat the Ceasar Legion dogs to death? 

Spoiler: Let me fix that for ya! (click to show/hide)

[shadenight123]

how funny! you're level 12-13! i'm level 4 to 5!
>.>
and i wanted to be more the "scavenger" type of wastelander. and with the mods on, i don't even RISK exploring too much (ironman rule, never want to see it in action!)
so, i take it slowly, steadily, and nicely. Varmint rifle+silencer and headshots make my day...
another update coming in the journey! so many many things to say and ramble about.

You know, if you had stressed the ironman rule a bit more ( it's my fault, didn't pay that much attention to it ) I would have suggested a more long range fighting style.  Can you please show us your skills and stats, along with anything else important?  Also, can you take a cool picture of yourself posing on a mountaintop or something?

P.S. how did you get a silencer for the varmint rifle?

[Stworca]

how funny! you're level 12-13! i'm level 4 to 5!

You're bound to catch some levels if you wipe out everything on your path
(then again, with New FPS your levels hardly matter )

P.S. how did you get a silencer for the varmint rifle?

Wasn't there a silencer mod in one of the two "starting"cities?
And yes, you should jam the hell out of sneak button when exploring on ironman. The Caesar legion band is all melee though, so one can go wild. I know not what madness has overtaken you, to not pick Sneak

[shadenight123]

the silencer was just in the starting town. i bought it off the general good store vendor...after selling him back the stuff i stole from his shop!
(except the silenced pistol)
and i did not take sneak, because i figured all i needed was mobility.
then again at second level i DID put all the points in there, reaching 30 points.
now, here are the PICS for the stats/rest. i was in the stealth boy mode, (used a stealthboy) since i didn't want to get mawed to death by the feral ghoul (they still packed a punch, because one came from behind, but luckily, the RECHARGER RIFLE took care of everything. Now i can sell the laser ammo and keep the recharged)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

for cool pictures, why not look back in vats modes as i throw grenade and stuffs? there was one of me giving an oculist visit to a guy you know :3

ON WITH THE UPDATE:
Finishing off Nipton.
Finishing off vipers.
Reaching a semi-normal city.
Meeting with three spirits.
It's raining LEAD alleluja, it's Raining LEAD ON THE GHOULS!

I went and looked at the second floor, and found nice things.
Well, not actually nice, but still happy things.
i'm not taking a dog as a puppy ever again.
oh come on, he just chewed our heads a little
oh look...terminals! ohh look...resetting mainframe? ehi, nothing happened...
there is this Rosie that appears in so much documents.
i think she was the first to be killed.
well, i suppose so with the legion and all.
ohhh laser pistol
it's useless...
fine tsk

we make our way through the cities homes...those not burned to ashes or destroyed.
UNCLE OWEN AUNT BERUU NOOOOOOO
What?
nothing...it's just...they were Luke's family
who's luke? someone i ate?
no you don't hate him
i said...
i DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT YOU CANNIBALISTIC FREAK
fine, fine.

we move onwards, killing a mister gutsy in a house, and then, we end up in a prison-like house...
ehi, are those doggies closed in that cage?
*CLACKCLACKCLACK*
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SCORPIONSSSS *jumping back*
be quiet, they're in a cage, it's not like they can do something...hey look a dead legionare body!
*BANG*
as soon as alex walked in the room something hit him in the head.
ouch...a RIGGED SHOTGUN!? WHY DO PEOPLE WANT TO MESS WITH MY HEAD!?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

our head...and...STAY STILL.
*beep...beep*

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

*alex moves further away a little*
*beeps stops*
disarm it.
first move the body
slowly now...slowly... *disarmed*
just who would do such a thing?!
let's salvage around.
oh "essence"
what?
i dunno, maybe he was an alcoholist...even the fridge is locked!
and many other places...and... *BUM*
AHAN! this time i was crouching!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

just how many of this did he... *BEEP BEEP BOOM*
*JUMPING BACK*
AHAN! CAN'T TOUCH THIS NANANANAAAAA HU HHUUU CAN'T TOUCH THIS!!!
please stop dancing. it's embarassing.

Afterwards, i head for out of town...i've had enough. and i'm pretty stuffed.
With stuff.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

as i procede my spider sen...ehm, ALEX SENSE starts tingling.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

wait. stop. crouch. sneak to the cone. mine. deactivate. look up. see viper. sneak backwards. good.
yes chief. How did you know?
sixth sense
seems legit. now what? we go through the ambush?
I ASSUME CONTROL
hey wh...I AM IN CONTROL
not funny! it's not funny at all!
SILENCE. WE NOW COMAND.
alex moves back, and follows the mountain trail for a passage up which he finds.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

From there, following his keen perception, he sneaks and headshots enemies like the best of the snipers.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

sometimes he just cripple torsos. you know, it's a HEART QUESTION.

wow dude, you're a natural born headshotter.
i am the headshotter of the wasteland. I am god of snipers.
yes pal, now how about giving me back my body, these are fresh corpses and i feel hung...
WE FEED ON FRUIT.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

ohh shit...NO no no not vegetarian please.
FRUIT *MUNCH MUNCH* is good.
bleaahhh

we move...
hey let's make a bet, if you can kill the next animal in one shot i leave you the body for today
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

CHALLENGE WON
note to self: challenge him when varmint is ammo-less
I KILL WITH EVERYTHING
and you'd be the good guy?
no, i'm actually the less mad one
from good to better huh.

there is an unwritten rule in the wasteland. One many bump-kin cannot remember.
the man with gun beats the man with the knife.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

usually...always.

i walk further onwards, passing station charlie, till i hear a TING from the pipboy, a new radio channel! how nice!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

the music is really nice, and the two operators are speaking like they were supermutants! how jolly!

and yes, i finally reach...a city...it seems normal, no fire burning down, no death and decay, nothing...except the giant dinosaur, but thats normal, right?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

at least in the wastelands that is.
First stop: to the doctor of this place.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

grab the rubbish and give me all your doctors bag. No longer crippled limbs, ohh no.
hey...is that...no...it can't be...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

My life savior! victor!
hey! what's you doing here?
Howdy partner! i had the impulse to go to new vegas
i see, how about we travel together?
i wouldn't want to slow you down
fine...anyhow you need help, just whistle me!
sheesh...i hate all this good acting

i move further on into the dinosaur, they did say there was a sniper up there...
so, i speak to him...but he won't talk unless i help him out with ghoul problems...i'll just call a cleric for mass-Turn undead, or Rebuke...
but no.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

it seems they are not Undead...they are just people who decided to take a nice long bath in the radioactive waters or drink a healthy barrel of industrial waste...who wouldn't?
i walk west, and just on the road, here it is, the first greeting:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"thou shall see three spirit, tonight, and they will guide you to the path of redemption"
yes...i don't think it's going to work this way...but fine.
who you talking to?
spirits, allucination, usual things.

"and the first spirit will guide you through your past"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Hold up rocketeers? were you a baby idiotic astronaut?
no...i think it's the science thing...i do remember a laboratory...or a time when i was a kid...like...you know...wastelands...
huhu fine...

walking along the road...
"thou second spirit shall show you your present"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

present, like gift, right?
it's nice to see it's an ashpile spirit.
maybe we're high on drugs, but isn't that other there...A LOT OF AMMO CRATES!?
yes...grenades...mines...energy cell...

in front of me i see the rocket launch facility

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

hey...i don't think those ghouls are spirit.
thank god you woke up.
nah, i don't think so
i move up a slope, and from the vantage position i crouch, aim...and then...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

IT'S SNIPER TIME
as the soothing music from the pipboy gets in my ears, i begin shooting.
*one down critical strike*

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

*two down *
*three down*
*four down*

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

i then also snipe those next to the entry of the complex, and get down while i reach the center of the square...the third spirit:
"and thou shall see your future"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Oh spirit why won't you talk to me like the other ones?!
YOU DO REALIZE THE SIGNBOARD AND THE ASH PILE WERE MUTE TOO RIGHT?!
shut up, i'm building tension.
scavenge him.
and there he gave me the future:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

a recharger
wait, MF breeder? what does it...hey, it's recharging by itself!
now i can throw away the rest of laser ammo.
good...we shall proceed the spirits have talked.

i enter and move around...in Stealth boy. This because as soon as i entered a voice started rambling in the intercom, and a door obviously opened immediately. seeing as there was a nightkin dead on the spot, i made two plus two.
it was a ghoul though, so i shot him with the recharger and reduced it to ashes, then moved through stealth and sneakkillings... (i DO have to clean this place)
till were i was called...i just ended up unluckily in a pincushion spot:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

but i got through it.

the man who talked to me like he was  a ghoul (calling me smoothskin, come on) was a human himself...their leader is a certain "jason bright"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

do not give him the handshake. DO not touch him, and stay a little bit behind.
fear?
i'd like to keep my hair
as i was saying, we will leave if you help us leave. kill the basement demons and let go in space
it's your death, not mine, i will help. better than having to kill EVERYONE OF YOU.
he hands me the basement key...this is going from ghoul to nightkin...what if then it goes from nightkin to GIANT SUPERMUTANT BEHEMOTH!? i don't think i'll withstand that...

Open them with paint, save as, pick "JPEG" ? There quality loss will be minor (the pic i've uploaded was JPEG), and the images will weight 300kb (after imgshack resizing) and not 1,8mb

what the...how is that EVEN POSSIBLE!?
no, better to keep them heavy.
otherwise i'd end up Mass taking them.
just this update had 40+ pics.
post scriptum: since you now commented, i'm up for the next update. let's see how stealth beats stealth.

Alex's conscience took over his body?  NOOOOOOO!!!!   I want the REAL Alex back!  The one who's insane, eats corpses, makes offensive rape jokes by accident and is EVIL!
