less gang bounty hunters then F3?

Post » Sun Nov 30, 2008 6:06 am

idk if its just me, but im vilified with the powder gang. yet only one encounter have they tried to hunt me. does it get worse as you play?

i really enjoy people trying to randomly kill me in the wasteland. seems theres a lack of it compared to F3 so far :( will it get better?

anyone else experiencing this as well?

No, you don't have bounty hunters hunting after you in NV. Bounty hunters are more annoying than anything else.

You can have at most four BH groups chase you from one faction.

Caesar's legion will send Assassins after you, and seem to be the hardest types I've fought, the NCR sends some after you, but they give you three days to get your rep back up, Powder Gangers send one group of people after you one time, and The Kings can do the same. (I think.)

I've been marked for death by the NCR/Legion a few times but they don't seem as persistent as they were in F3. I guess killing their hit squad makes them shiver in their boots.

Yup, way less.

I think they should patch it so that if you piss off these factions:
Boomers.
Powder Gangers.
NCR.
Legion.
House/Securitrons.
Omerta.
White Glove.
Tops.
Kings.
Khans.
BOS.

Then they will send their own bounty hunters/hit squads/contract killers/revenge seekers after you.
I think there should be a point to being vilified.
The more factions you make an enemy out of the more they're going to hunt you.
All of these hit squads are level scaled to lvl 5, lvl 15, lvl 25 and lvl 30.
So that by lvl 30 you will have really challenging hit squads after you.

Of course, If you wipe out entire Red Rock Canyon and Mellisa's and Jessup's group then their hit squad stops coming since there are none left.
Legion, NCR and Securitron hit squads never stop coming though unless you get better rep with them.

Please Obsidian, patch this in.

Personally, I think I don't want to get vilified with the NCR. Being shot at by Veteran Rangers does NOT sound fun.

In Vegas right now the ranger squad that comes after you are low level crap which are only difficult to kill if you're lvl 5 and haven't made it past Nipton yet.
