What are some of your regrets a bout past playthroughs?

» Sun May 09, 2010 7:33 pm

My first playthrough I rushed through the game because I had rented it.

I also didn't turn on hardcoe mode, didn't get Rex/ED-E, get past level 20 or figure out what the crap why a powder ganger ran through Nipton screaming he won the lottery.

On my NCR playthrough - that I ever recruited Boone.
On my Legion playthrough - that I became [Vilified] with NCR before doing I Put A Spell On You.

Not finishing all of the "questions" for Veronica and running around like an idiot trying to find a dress to please her.

Well, that's a lie. :dry:

[Very Easy] difficulty perhaps?

Level 14. One hit Lanius.

I say lie.

Level 14. One hit Lanius.

I say lie.

I don't have any idea what Lanius various hit point possibilities are, but he does level w/the character to a point. That is, I think he can be level 15 if you encounter him. Whether this changes his hit points by much, I don't know.

Also, the poster said they used a Ballistic Fist. On Very Easy....maybe...IF the level scaling applied enough.

Wasting skill points on energy weapons.

» Mon May 10, 2010 2:57 am

Wasting skill points on barter and medicine when I'm rolling in stimpaks and usually steal anything else I need anyway.
Oh, and not using protection with that NCR trooper I met at gomorrah.

*scratches*

^^^^^^^^^^^ I don t see Lanius getting a one hit death.

Not learning until Playthrough 3 I could spare the Kings for House.

Getting Boone as a companion.

» Mon May 10, 2010 2:06 am

Finding ncr armour at mojave outpost thinking
"wow this is good and cool looking"
and thinking "reputation? Probably just there for show"
going to nipton :facepalm:

YCS/186 with Max Charge MF cells. With a headshot and sneak attack crit, it's a one shot kill on Hard.

» Mon May 10, 2010 6:05 am

Realizing that I couldn't max out all my skill points like I could in Fallout 3 but still tried to level up as many of my skills as I could. I ended up with a character who really wasn't good at anything and couldn't use any of the high level weapons because I didn't meet the requirements.

» Mon May 10, 2010 2:22 am

Rushing the game a little bit.

» Mon May 10, 2010 5:16 am

The guy used Ballistic Fist though, not YCS.

» Mon May 10, 2010 12:09 pm

I ended up going with NCR and did not recruit Boone.

» Mon May 10, 2010 12:07 pm

I ended up going with NCR and did not recruit Boone.

WHAT. Well you need to because hes epic.

» Mon May 10, 2010 2:32 am

Not levelling lockpick enough and missing Lucky.
Damn radscorpions...

Getting Boone to kill

Spoiler

Jeannie may

on a hunch and then not being able to recruit him.

Also! Telling Veronica

Spoiler

that the BoS was bad (or something)

and not being able to recruit her either.

In the same playthrough!!
