why would i knock someone over when i can explode their head?

Onehanded/Stealth/no armor only cloths

>>389230632
you already know what it is, it's the one that you can't help but dabble in even when you're playing a melee character. guns.

have you EVER played with a serious explosives build? because if you haven't i just wanna let you know you're missing out on a lot of fun.

Explosives build with mad bomber perk.

You literally never run out of stuff to chug at your enemies.

One handed guns only run for me.
none of that gay energy weapon shit though

Unarmed stealth. Nothing better than murdering every single unnamed NPC in the game without consequences.

Hunting shotgun with a choke is the shit.

Are there any essential mods for NV? Or can I just play purely vanilla.

>>389232754

It's been ages since I played, if you find a mod that makes everyone not look like a swamp creature (and takes off every single female's moustache) please let me know.

>>389232754
Vanilla's fine, but you might wanna get an unofficial patch and the stutter removal mod.

>>389232754
Get some of the unofficial patches that fix Mister New Vegas. Last time I checked his remarking on your exploits at the prison still wasn't officially fixed. Been years though.

I bought new vegas twice, because the first time I bought it was dubbed in castilian for some reason, the box was in english mind you.
I can speak spanish fluently so I thought it wouldn't be an issue.
It was such an ear cancer, holy shit, I couldn't even listen to the radio because the voice actors were so literal shit, it's like they had their cheeks full of cotton and the jargon was the most ridiculous thing I've heard, I had to google the fucking words. Literally unplayable.
I latter watched a video on spaniard dubbing and they don't even listen to the original audio, they are given the line and a sound wave they have to match, to avoid leaks of the script. That's the most ass backwards thing ever. What the fuck.

And he won't play the songs Sawyer wrote specifically for the game.
I personally consider that a must-have.

>>389234532
No, but they can eat and drink. It makes them feel more human.

>>389234532
They are mutated humans not zombies.

Castilian Spanish is hardly Spanish

Putting the controller down and quitting and picking up ANY game that's not 10 years old .

>>389231216
that's what the nade machine guns are for, you can be more accurate than those clunky thumpers. you just need a lot of fucking money to maintain that playstyle.

They definitively do according to Fallout 1, and there's nothing to suggest otherwise outside of Fallout 3 and 4 which aren't even consistent about it.

>this version of spanish is only spoken in spain
>instead of dubbing in a more standar spanish
>they somehow thing it's ok to dub there and then export to the rest of the world
At this point why even dub, why not just leave the original audio and put subtitles?

Carpet bombing deathclaws from the horizon. Shelling assassin squads before they're even in VATS range. Hearing those beautiful *thmp thmp thmp* cadenced noise. There's nothing like the grenade machine gun.

Surprisingly fun. You can use Slippy's mod to lower inventory space and mess with the damage values. Depends on how hardcore you want to go.
When you play it right you'll oneshot through stealth crits but if you get spotted they'll one or two-shot you all the same. Makes for some very tense combat.

I had no idea about the brackets on my first playthroughs of 3 and NV.

you know when you listen to OCD it gets worse right

this leads to such fun situations as completing a game you wanted to complete anyway and it "counting" as an OCD ritual and making your OCD worse

My fav has to be what I call the "Tech-Mage"
Only use Fire or Electric weapons like the Incinerator and medieval looking weapons like knives. The Zap Glove is fine too.
I usually try to stay in robes.
