If you're playing on 360 don't mess with the selected storage device while in the 'save game' screen.

I lost a level 22 and 11 and I believe this is where the issue began.

READ: There are ALWAYS traps, even if you can't see them. Landmines await underneath 4/5 footfalls in the Mojave wasteland. Beware!

Watch were you save. Poor Romanius, I'll never get that perfect face back.

Oh, and never, ever, go into Mr. House's room.

The Rebar is all powerful - too powerfull?

The limited edition hardcover strategy guide ordered in August serves as no 'perk' when it arrives 5 days after release date :angry:

Bump to the cones with no adjacent construction - what was I thinking...

That killing Mr House is really really fun!


Oh, and that if you want to kill strong enemies with energy weapons then use Gauss Rifle and NOTHING ELSE.

And that Raul looks freaking bad-ass with metal armor MKII, green beret and sunglasses.

This is hilarious.

WIN :celebration:

Follow this threads advice, and live a long, comfortable post-apocalyptic life.

or

Do everything this thread tells you not to do, for the laughs.

Don't bother with energy weapons, compared to every other Fallout game they svck ass.
Still its given me a opportunity to give up my energy weapon addiction and try out others.

1 - If the first sneak attack doesn't kill it, RUN!
2 - The easiest way to get rid of pesky guards: Stealth boys and frag grenades.
3 - Boomers are idiots. No one threatens you with a rocket launcher POINT BLANK!
4 - In the Mojave Wastelands, EVERYONE has its own agenda and it's out to use you in some way.
5 - NEVER, EVER, EVER try to take shortcuts. They only shorten the trip to a painful death.

You are not permitted to use weapons on the strip!

..Follow those orders from robocop.. just do it.

Deathclaws are very difficult, and speech is a lot more important than it was in Fallout 3.

Ahh! Wasteland Wisdom Thread.

I've learned that abandoned mines are a good thing to explore if you're an explosives expert. Seach them mines good.


I've learned that the NCR has absolutely no way of identifying anyone dressed in their armor. Not a good thing. Oddly enough, you will be easily ID'd by them when wearing a Radiation Suit. huh

I've learned that jumping onto a rock grants you complete immunity from anythign that reilies on melee attacks. Deathclaws, for instance, are no match for a person who can easily jump on a rock that isn't too high up. Deathclaws also cannot swim. They're pretty limited.

I've learned that Cazadors CAN EASILY fly onto your rock and make you look silly for thinking that would work on a winged creature.

Baby deathclaws are not cute.

There is something i learned in fallout 3 but was very shocked when playing new vegas:
That which can be bought can also be stolen. this applies in most of the times, but some shop supplies are not physically lootable.

Avoid the butterflies, or what ever they are. They may look cute and cuddly, but really just just wanna kill you.

"Awww, look at the pretty butterHOLYFREAKINGMOTHEROFGODAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Don't play this game if you have a kidney disease is what I've learned.

-A surprising number of people throw away full cartons and packs of cigarettes. I guess they're trying to go cold turkey.
-Nobody else ever scavenges important things like medical equipment or ammunition.
-Soda never goes bad and vending machines will never give up, despite nuclear war, electromagnetic pulses, or a general lack of any source of electricity.
-You can't sleep in beds you don't own. Man, I've been doing it wrong all these years.
-Reading a magazine only makes you smarter for a minute. Reading a book makes you smarter forever. I'll never waste time reading magazines again.
-If you nail a board across your door, nobody will ever figure out how to get inside your house.
-Sleeping for an hour will make you feel right as rain, but sleep all day and you still feel like crap.
-Murdering a bad guy is fine, but taking their stuff is downright unthinkable.
-People have no sense of self preservation. I've got a knife, that guy has 15+ extremely dangerous looking guns on him. Well, I'd be stupid NOT to charge at him from across this vast empty area.
-Alcohol is good for you as long as you're with an alcoholic.

Rex is the canine embodiment of Leeroy Jenkins.

Punching a blackjack dealer in the face isn't a good idea.

throwing down fisticuffs with deathclaws=gettin my ass whooped

Never again buy and Obsidian game before there are numerous patches and fixes available for it.

I learned that I will most likely become a serious Gambling addict as a result from this game. :fallout:

"Holy [censored]! Just killed my first Giant Radscorpion, and I'm just level 6 hahahaha! Shweet. I have like six health and I spammed away all my stimpacks, but I made it! Rofl so awesome, fifty xp too nice. *proceeds to holster weapon, look at my map for the map marker and head towards the Mojave Outpost, five feet of walking later - dead*

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
