Enough of this meme. They fucking suck and you use way more healing items than you would by just shooting everything.

>>389093767
Melee/Explosives is easily the greatest combat combo and can wreck shit hard since Explosives only weakness is close quarters, which Melee makes up for.

That said i'm doing Unarmed/Survival and let me tell you it's far from OP. While late game it becomes good early game it becomes a major pain and getting close to high damaging enemies like Deathclaws are always going to fuck you over and smart enemies that spread themselves are going to be a pain. If it weren't for the That's Good Eatin Perk the run would be absolute hell at certain points. Melee weapons are their absolute best as a secondary weapon that deals reliable damage.

Okay, my character was, initial, high Endurance, Strenght, agility

Then I dumped on Survival and Speech
Followed by Repair, unarmed and others

GRA chainsaw is fucking great weapon and you will use it for the majority of the game, once you get the Thermic Lance, you will become Godlike

>While late game it becomes good early game it becomes a major pain and getting close to high damaging enemies like Deathclaws
As much as a Berserk that dives in combat without a second though, you need to pick your battles, the first time I saw a giant radscorpion on the wastelands, I knew I couldnt take on him and just try it another day

Since my run was more Medicine centered, keeping up with the Stimpack supply was hard, so I learned that there is nothing wrong on ambushing to conserve Stimpacks

Tell me, how good is Unarmed? in comparison with Melee, of course

>>389094761
Not as good as melee, but isn't dependent on ST for damage and has great weapons that can be gotten early.

>>389095462
I have read a few guides, I saw Unarmed builds are very luck and random crit heavy

>>389094761
Initially you don't see much of a difference since they both share the same exact perks but what makes melee's special are the moves you can learn throughout the game. They're a limited number of them and most aren't that amazing but what really saves it is the Ranger Takedown Move?

Aren't a high enough level to get that perk to knock people down or simply want to make it more consistent? Just shove that motherfucker to the ground like a school bully and make them eat dirt. There's a delay to it and pressing S while trying to attack makes judging whether or not it'll hit the enemy a bit awkward but once you master it and know how to appropriately use it all high DT/Health enemies will eat dirt and timing it just in time to hit a Cazador is extremely satisfying.

Other then that, I find most Unarmed weapons to favor slow attacking low DPS but high initial damage while melee's have all sorts of different flavors and options, like as you mentioned the Chainsaw.

>>389095628
I don't know, my build was superheated saturnite fist and running up to things to chunk them with it.

>>389095628
A little. Like I mentioned here >>389095752
DPS in unarmed is far lower with less options so having criticals is far more favorable.

There is also one perk which allows for an enemy to be stunned for a whole 30 seconds if you get a crit, but it only works if you're completely unarmed (no Power Fists or the likes either) so I never bothered with it.

Like I said, I've been managing with Unarmed despite the downsides and certain perks/abilities can be used to help with Unarmed DPS.

>I rather take on Deathclaws than Cazadores
This is one of those hassles. Cazadors you can usually wait for them at the right moment and hit them, but Deathclaws got freakishly long arms and can hit you before you can hit them.

Another tip that's not immediately obvious is that the special cross/uppercut VATS attacks always have a base cost of 20 AP, regardless of the weapon. So using the big heavy power fists is always optimal. Those attacks also do extra damage, and the cross deals extra limb damage.

That's not entirely true. While it is quite easy to make a powerful crit build, there are a few weapons that don't really get a lot out of crits. Specifically, the constant damage weapons like the thermic lance and chainsaw get huge damage boosts from heavy handed.

>>389098478

Okay, no guys. He was wrong but you're being dumb in the other direction.

In New Vegas, if you're going melee/unarmed, a crit build will always do the best damage, at every point in the game. Taking Heavy Handed on such a build will only lower your dps, so it's correct to say that it has no place in a truly optimized build.

HOWEVER, you can easily make a build that doesn't go after crits, and there are many cool weapons that don't work so well with a crit build. This won't be as powerful as a crit build, but it can still be quite strong. Heavy Handed is a vital part of such builds, to the point that they wouldn't really be able to compete at all without it.

Everyone just relax.

>>389099035
Why do you think you absolutely need to have a crit build in order to succeed? Some people prefer more consistent damage output instead. I think you're just retarded.

>>389099929
In other words, only take heavy hand if you are doing a very specific build with no luck.

>>389099929
Fair enough

Given I used Chainsaw for the majority of the game, I never relied on random crits, so I'm hugely ignorant of any luck/random crit build

That image may seem daunting, but I know that you are completely safe as long as you keep running backwards.

Since I was the one that posted >>389097603 and started this heated debate of what is/isn't a good trait I genuinely want to ask: What are some good strategies with each of the traits?

I rarely ever pick traits because I feel like most of the time they just screw me over and have only began picking them recently less as a benefit and more to add to the roleplay. So what are some good traits or the very least make some really shitty traits good? I also have a "More Traits" mod so any tips on these will be appreciated as well. http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/35979/?

RUDE! I've never seen them, here.

>want to play NV

feels bad. will probably give it another shot when I get a better monitor, along with Stalker

>>389101604
Four eyes, good natured, and small frame are all pretty bad. Built to destroy is good on any build, kamikaze is good on a vats build. Both of those have benefits that far outweigh the minor downsides. Fast shot and trigger discipline are mostly down to taste, but don't take both at once. Heavy handed is in a similar boat. Loose cannon is mostly irrelevant because hahahaha throwing weapons.

Most of those mod traits are really minor, but Tribal is a no-brainer for any melee/unarmed build.

>>389102038

I want my fellow nutmegers to learn how to use the passing lane. That is to say, how to NOT use it. Stupid fucks going 65 need to get out of my way.
>>389102518
4 eyes lowers your perception itself, and then the glasses give a buff to offset it. This means the few perks requiring Perception can be locked out. Also, it means you always need to use glasses of some kind.

>>389102550
Not even joking, Fallout: Invisible Walls crashed on me far more often. They're all clusterfucks because of the engine, and I will concede NV had better dialogue than all the other 3d games. And 4 takes game/gun play, but it's so fucking empty.
>Step on elk skull

4GB Patcher
FNV Anti-Crash
Stutter Remover
Yukichigai Unofficial Patch; check out his other mods, too, see if any of them interest you.
Uncut Wasteland and the New Vegas Uncut series are worth looking at
Someguy is a quest modder; I would highly recommend his New Vegas Bounties series.
Tales from the Burning Sands is another decent quest mod.
There's a guide, Fear and Loathing in New Vegas, that is well-written and detailed if you want a comprehensive overhaul of damn near everything. All of the mods I mentioned are part of the guide.

>>389108816
Oh, and for the game to actually run with a little bit of stability, you'll need NVAC, stutter remover, and 4gb launcher.
I forgot some other good mods:
>YUP
>Wasteland Uncut
>The Strip Open and Wasteland Uncut - Freeside open (install at your own risk, these mods will conflict with any others that change these areas)
>power armor scaling

what's a good Vanilla armor set that has something of a police/riot cop theme? The usual riot gear duster isn't what I'm looking for, something more Metro.

cool, might go with Vault 34 armor until I can pick up either reinforced combat armor or the sierra madre armor. Thinking of doing a Robocop-style character with a fucked up head due to the bullet at the start of the game, and getting increasingly more cybernetic.

>>389109561
They aren't Romans they are faggy larpers.

>>389109859
Fuck yes. I love this aesthetic. I wish they did more of this 50's sci-fi future representations of armor, since it could've been reality.

Another that's half close is Joshua Graham's armor, albeit a little western.

I need some mod recommendations, stuff that would make the game feel new to me since I've played it before on console.

>>389109561
"alongside a steady supply of pussy" does not strictly imply oral, though legionnaires don't get laid so the image is false either way.

So I came across a bug where you need watch the presentation Yes Man shows you after activating the Securitrons, but the presentation never starts and even when I use console commands to leave, I still can't progress the quest since the game still thinks I'm in the basement, anyone know how to fix this?
