What experiences have you had in that sand and neon light encrusted desert did you learn and hope to NEVER have repeat or try to avoid?

For me, it only took one time to learn to watch out fighting enemies in a field of Big Horners. :dead:

beware of your radiation rating in a radioactive place. hence don't save right before death.

Big Horners = stationary target practice for sniper style character

Radiation is something to actually keep track of in this game

Running around with a knife killing people truly makes you feel like a psycho serial killer named slasher this time.

When someone tells you they haven't visited a certain lake because no one has left the village in decades, what they really mean is that nobody goes there because you will die a horrible death if you do.

Don't shoot the Cazdores. There's NEVER only one...

After getting ambushed by multiple powdergangers and having both your legs crippled, DON'T go to your inventory, freak out, and 'use' all 3 of your doctor's bags at once (thereby spreading the limb healing out evenly among all limbs).

Take luck 10 with my next character.

Also applies to Deathclaws/Feral Ghoul Reavers/Radscorpions

I second this lesson...

Be wary of injured NCR troops in Legion Territory...

Stealthing will save you from most shotgun traps.

Shooting Big Horners... Then getting trampled to death.

Do not pick up quest items before or after the quest is taken or complete, i'm looking at you Van Graff Armor.

Also stay on the roads near New Vegas.

Shooting Big Horners... Then getting trampled to death.

Hmmm.... the one time I shot a Big Horner, I was up in the hills above Goodsprings aiming for a Coyote in front of me. I couldn't even see the Bighorner until it zoomed in for the exploding head slow-mo death scene. I think it's body is still there haunting my terrible aim to this day.

Post Nuclear War there are force fields left behind known in some circles as 'Invisible walls'

I joke, my game is on its way, just basing it on complaints and a funny youtube video in the Invisible walls thread.

Just because Sloan is close to the starting location does not mean you should attempt to clear the Quarry Junction of Deathclaws at level 3.

If you are traveling down a desolate highway and there are construction cones in the road and no visible construction around, there are mines under them.

Never ever thrown more than one stick of dynamite in VATS at a time. Because the first one will miss or glance and all enemies will run (at amazing speed) right to you and you will drop the next stick directly in front of you. I crippled 3 out of 4 limbs like that once.

Dropping bodies on tripwires is the way to go.

If you venture into a dark and narrow place and find a few quite bigger rats crawling around, dont say "well, atleast it's just a few harmless rats in here"

sometimes the long way to the strip is shorter than the short way through death claw alley . Also hardcoe in fallout creator speak code for every gun is as wimpy as a bb gun .

Uppercut to a Nightstalker with a powerfist = awesome head-over-heels flip!

» Mon Oct 25, 2010 2:16 pm

If there's a tripwire across a doorway you're trying to disarm, be sure it's the tripwire you're clicking on, and not the door, which will in fact close on you, pushing you RIGHT into the tripwire..... :facepalm:

Oh I was also surprised to learn that 200 years in the future while people are killed with no regard and bodies are literally left all over the place , the mob sill carries on that age old tradition of hiring thugs to give the guy they whacked a good christian burial.
