Your Favorite Play-through.

Post » Tue Sep 06, 2011 4:01 pm

I've decided to fire up FNV again as I take some time off working on a few projects. Just wondering what your favorite play-throughs were? Which side did you choose? Favorite quests to look out for? Favorite Specs? I plan on going dead is dead and relying on mostly melee (limiting myself to a realistic amount of found ammunition). Just wanting to get the most out of this play-through.

A pure Legion or NCR playthrough can be fun.

Try making your character by trying to personify everything about the NCR or Legion. Pick SPECIAL, perks and traits based on what those two specialize in and by the end of the playthrough you end up with two VERY specialized characters who're beast in what they do. I had a Legionnaire that could basically kill anything as long as it was next to him while still being a competent sniper with a hunting rifle, whereas my NCR playthrough actually made me utilize VATS, since EVERY shot would land. The NCR playthrough also had me trying out every gun imaginable.

That does sound cool. I think I'm leaning more towards Legion side for this run-through as I've never sided with them before. I just have a feeling I'll end up assassinating Legion's head honcho after awhile if they begin to grate on me hehe.

LEGION!

So far Legion has ben my favorite...the Centurion armor, the characters, (I let Caesar live because I like how smart and articulate he is, yet he is a cold blooded dictator as well)

NCR is fun too tho...I just dont like the characters as much..

All this Legion love warms my heart :D .

While I do love the Legion it was however not my favorite.

That honor belongs to my D.i.D. character that never actually got far enough to pick a side :(. It was my first smart/energy/melee character. I had so many near deaths, and brought out so many memories due to that character. She was finally cut down by a pod person in a cave in HH (they don't scale to lvl) at lvl 11.

I like to side with Mr. House, use the NCR for it's resources, and carefully cut down the Legion so that it takes a while before they send their assassin squads.

Nelson- NCR Hands
Monorail- Safe
Centurioin- Tricked into giving information
Cottonwood Cove- purged in 'tingly' barrels.

My favourite's gonna be the one I'm playing now. Usually I am irl guilted into trying to have decent karma but for this game, my character is the most self absorbed wench that ever walked the earth.

It is hard to choose, but my Energy Weapon/Science/Medicine guy that made an independent New Vegas.

I really enjoyed the guns and ammo available but energy weapons are unique to fallout, and I love them soooOOOo much. :turtle:

Playing as a Frumentarius for Caesar's Legion. :thumbsup: I love scouting NCR areas, usually dressed up as one of their troopers or as a repair man, then destroying them from the inside out! :chaos: If my cover is blown (like a Ranger) I'll switch to Legion Praetorian or Frumentarius Armor and hit them in the face with a Ballistic Fist. I just wish I was on PC so I could mod it that once I've taken over a base or town, it either becomes deserted or The Legion inhabit it.

Definitely the most fun I've with any playthrough. True to Caesar!

Evil playthrough, siding with the legion and the powder gangers and if you have the option to kill someone in a quest do it.

Right now in my current and favorite RP character, I control New Vegas with a very powerful but good presence. In such terms, I usually go the good route...except with Super Mutants. Jacobstown? Never heard of it. Why? Because it's a dead city. Black Mountain? Nothing except Raul(didn't feel like hiring him though) survived my cleansing.

However my next favorite playthrough and one I really want to get back to is an NCR field commander of a small unit. The unit itself is comprised of regular NCR troops or Rangers I recruit using a mod where I can recruit any friendly NPC. My character is an incredible [censored] in terms of battle. Kill everything in sight...leave none alive.

But anyways...here are a few of my accomplishments.

Cottonwood Cove - Dressed up in Legion armor, held Phoenix to gunpoint and executed him. Escaped flawlessly by sprinting into the sea and swimming across to safe ground, then taking potshots at pursuers.

Freeside - Helped the Kings for reasons to give them control of Freeside as a police force. Got the Kings to help NCR Squatters

Jacobstown - Meh, not a good place to visit. It's creepy, everybody's giant, green, and missing one or two limbs

Nelson - NCR hands...later going to be mine....MWAHAHAHA

Monorail - Completely safe

Silus - What a boring guy to talk to! He just lays there without a head, bleeding
