Long story short, I bought the Collectors Edition of New Vegas and the CE Book on release day. I didn't hate the game, but I didn't enjoy it that much either. I would try to play it a few times, but kept getting distracted and never felt svcked into it. Well, I am going to give it another go, and to help motivate me, I am going to keep a log of my progress here for anyone who wants to follow.

Ill follow you on your journey

Day 1

After waking up dead, I met Doc Mitchell. He gave me his Dirty Pre-War Park Stroller Outfit and a Pip Boy. That was very kind of him. He also suggested I speak with Sunny Smiles at the Prospector Salon, which I proceeded to do. Sunny gave me the run don of the town and surrounding areas. I had to recover the chip, and find the people who attacked me. She also offered to help me learn to fend for myself in the desert.

While helping her clear out geckos at the town's water source, a local was attacked by the creature. By the time we arrived, it was too late. Sunny then asked me to find some Broc Flower and Xander Root. While looking for Broc Flower up at the grave yard, I noticed my grave was still open. It sent chills down my spine. Near by I found some cigarette buds and decided I should pick a few up [3] and take them with me. They might help me track down my attacker... the man in the checkered suit.

After returning to Sunny with the Broc Flower and Xander Root I found by the school house, we made something folks on the trail like to call "Healing Powder." A very useful recipe to know. Sunny the recomended I return to the Prospector before I leave town. She said someone named Trudy might be able to help me more.

On my way back to town I was approached by a man who asked for my help. He said his girlfriend was trapped by geckos up on a ridge behind us, so being the GOOD NATURED guy that I am, I agreed to help. At first I thought I was too late, yet again. After clearing the geckos out, I found two mutilated corpses and thought the worst. Only, when I turned around I found a gun in my face... and the last time that happened, it didn't end well. This time things would be different. This time my hands weren't bound and while he was busy talking, I made my move. Knocking the gun out of his hand, we then began to brawl. Instead of sticking around to finish the fight, however, he turned and fled.

As I investigated further, I discovered an ammo box with a weathered 10mm pistol & ammo along with 5 red balls and a corpse who was holding 5 aces. Odd. I took the pistol and ammo. It was far easier to carry than the rifle.

Upon returning to town, I visited the local trader Chet. I traded in the rifle that Sunny gave me for caps and pre-war money. When I visited the Prospector, Trudy was being harassed by some convict. After kicking him out, she spoke with me. I gathered more information on my attackers and learned more about the robot Victor who rescued me.

I learned why she was being harassed and offered to help. I agreed with Sunny that people like hm won't stop with idle threats, nor will they go away if the town gave them what they wanted. We had to fight. After convincing Trudy that we could set up an ambush, Easy Pete to give us some of his TNT, Chet to supply the town with his leather armor, the Doc to help us with meds, and victor to fight for us, we set up and waited. The fight ended nearly as quickly as it started. High explosives tend to do that.

After helping the town clean up the mess... it was time we all rested... but not before I spoke with Voctor who was a no show. It appeared his program was hacked. Odd...

Well, now I am off to bed.
