Hey guys, I finally got around to finishing the main quests for New Vegas last weekend and just started up a second playthrough. The same thing happened when I finished Fallout 3, I couldn't get through it a second time. In Fallout 3 I only got to Tenpenny Tower and blew up Megaton and then I was just not into the game as much as I was the first playthrough. This just happened last night when I started going through New Vegas again. I only made it through Goodsprings and realized that I don't want to go through all this again. I don't want to go through all the conversations and all the side quests. I already know what happens and I can't get my mind around the fact that I am basically playing as the same person but I am trying to think a different way while doing quests but I end up doing the "right" thing. I can't be the "Bad Guy". Sorry, but unless I hear that one of the DLC is awesome, I will have to wait till the next Fallout game (Dead Money doesn't sound too fun for me)

Ok and your point is :rolleyes:

Playing a full psypath that kills 90% of everything he sees is very refreshing after playing a goody two shoes.

O.K., don't see the point of making a topic about it, but you know, there are more options in quests beyond "good guy, bad guy". Do something a bit differently, side with a different faction, etc.

Ok.

Bon voyage o/

Even playing as the right way instead of the left way, there are many ways to do many of those side quests.
I'm still runing into many different enzymes solutions to many of them, without playing bad tunes, or good songs.

If you're still playing the same person, then chances are you did in FO3 as well.
Do you mean skills, weapons, choices or ,,,,, what?

Skills: Up to you, take the same, diverge later on or take a random selection, a new games not going to help here.
Weapons: Again, choose your weapon.
Choices: 2 choices in FO3 most times, in NV a bunch of G vs T E, as well as various metheods to resolve them all up to you... choose your choices.
If you screw up and take the wrong path the game takes a note penalises you then says move on, FO3 said here's a reward have another...

I played through NV for like 4times , sided with different factions etc. And in the end I feel the same way as Darren.I'm not exatcly jumping out of my seat to play dead money , but when it's released , I'll still probably download it and play through it.Waiting for a better more intresting dlc

Yes I agree the ending is limited, 4 runs and it's exactly the same Take it back ending as FO3.. just don't complete it is the answer.

Well dome!

my point was that maybe I'm just not a RPG kind of guy. Maybe if they could of put some of the more popular MODS from Fallout 3 into New Vegas as options sliders. I did hardcoe on my first playthrough and it was fun but it wasn't really hard. You guy are probably better at Role Playing than I am but I was just expressing my inability to do so. I did change the weapons and skills I was using but to me i didn't make that much of a difference.

Role playing is as deep as you want it to be.
Many here just use the same roles but switch out weapon skills, some self gimp to make it more of a challange..
Others more in Oblivion and fantasy settings live the role and play with a single character for years.
No ones an expert, and few even play in the same way, anyone who tells you how to play a rpg is not a rpg player imo.

It seems you're looking for a challange in the game, unless you're on a pc there are only a few ways to do so.

Self gimping:
For this try not using the best weapons, try not wearing any armour, not using sneak, don't use the easy healing in combat metheods.
Lower your strength and endurence, don't stick intelligence above 5.
Use melee, don't fast travel, don't use stims at all, don't tag the uber perks..
All these make the game a lot more difficult but require way restrict yourself heavily, many even here can't do this and complain about having to do so..

Widershins routes:
Get the basic weapons, earn a small amount of XP then take on the biggest baddest monsters you can find..
Head north into cazasore, fire gecko, giant scorpion and deathclaw lands, take on fiends at low level..
This is fun, you may not stick with it long term as by level 14+ you can again outfight most things, but for a short time it's fun..

Madoc way, Take the weakest silliest weapon you can find.
Build a super build and then take on an alpha deathclaw with it.
