Are Deathclaws more alert now? : Fallout: New Vegas

» Thu May 03, 2012 12:34 am

So I resently picked up Fallout New Vegas again after waiting for the most complete version of it to come out (All DLC, Latest Patch, ect.) and I noticed the Deathclaw seem to be a lot more perceptive then I remember. Particulary the fact that I'll go hidden then right to catious if I attack one near another Deathclaw, or I'll set a mine across the cave (in this case Death Wind Cavern) and they'll set it off then continue to come across the cave and find me instantly. I have an 86 of sneak and it seems to be doing nothing.

So my question is was this patched this way or am I just remembering it wrong? (I'm playing on Xbox 360 by the way)

You can't sneak attack or sneak around a Deathclaw that is farly close by.
Their detection powers are at 100 - I think Blind ones are even more perseptive than normal.

You don't sneak up on a Deathclaw. You only avoid detection hopefully long enough to get the kill shot in.

Why was this moved to spoiler section? Sense when is Deathclaw being alert a spoiler lol. As to my initial question I was just curious as to wether they were patched to be more alert or not. Because I honestly don't remember.

This is why:

across the cave (in this case Death Wind Cavern)

Now people know that it is not Puppies that you are going to find in this cave.

Seems odd though because If I go to the General topic right now I can see a topic talking about the endings and which side the previous MC would support which is pretty spoiler heavy. So yeah it's kind of funny that little location is a spoiler but none of that is . Anyways thanks for the answers.

I remember in FO3 that when you get attacked by a Deathclaw, sneaking + a Stealth Boy broke his aggression.

Sometimes for me, I will get killshots off with my Anti-Materiel Rifle and have their deathclaw buddy just walk up to their corpse for me to snipe. Most of the time, they will come charging at me depending on distance. Both of these happen at Caution.

That's my thing.. don't like it? Ignore it. Which you seem to have done anyways what with you just commenting on the color of my text and not adding anything to the actual topic. So yeah not trying to be cool it just what I do, got something against it? Maybe you should start a petition or something to remove colors. As to the topic let it die.

Orange is way better than green. the only color I have a problem with is green.
