"Why did I do that?" Moments

Post » Tue May 08, 2012 6:47 am

Just wondering if anyone else occasionally gets bored and decides to do stupid things that ruin your game (whether or not it can be fixed with a quick reload :3)

Example: I thought it would be funny to see how much of the Tops I could decimate before I got killed (level 8 I think?)
Sounds fine, right. Except for the part where, HURR DURR, I went into a seperate area, it autosaved and I had to reload my game from an hour previous in order to undo the carnage I decided to put out.

;-;

Other bright ideas have included charging into the Deathclaw nest screaming at the TV and then being buttmad when it got me killed (really, what the hell was I thinking...) and making a character with OP lockpick and sneak skills and then realising at the end that SPEECH IS KIND OF IMPORTANT.

Well, this wasnt intentional, but back when I didnt know the game was freaking cruel, I tried diving into the river below the Dam somewhere widway between Cottonwood Cove and Hoover. Suffice it to say, apparently the courier is bulletproof, but not fall proof >_>

I also realized that going toe to toe with a group of Legion Assassins unarmed without using stims can NEVER end well for you >___>

Every now and again I do something like kill an NPC that is bugging me or shoot up a casino. I always make a save before hand.

There is a rare time when I get pissed and shoot an NPC completely by mistake.

After the Tops quest, I went to the Aces Theater to see all of the new talent do there thing. Halfway through Billy Knight's show, I just pulled out my 10mm and blew his head off from the audience. I did this without thinking.

Guess I'm just a harsh critic.

Hmm I know what you mean, I just got back from getting Euclids C-finder and just got into the strip, I was gonna go to the lucky 38, but then I saw the Gomorrah Strippers and just started targeting it right at their, eh nvm. :sweat: Lets just say it went badly.

I always go on save-rampages, even in the originals. Other than that, I have made decisions that had unintended consequences, but I generally just continue with those.

I remember once I got bored so I decided to go slice up Gommorahh. Me being me I did not hard save before but I turned off all autosaves, so after a nice hack and slash fest I went up the elevator and what do you know IT AUTOSAVES! Well I did not want to go back 4 hours so I just dealt with it anyways The Strip is not one of my favorite places in New Vegas.

I did what the Op did. I do that stuff all the time.

Jumping into the river with my fingers crossed and hopes held high. The courier can withstand rockets, nukes and bullets but cant take the pain of shattered legs. I thought It would be fun to nuke Cottonwood up from afar because I had no stems Turn out some assasins thought it was the perfect time to strike.
