Reading a lot of posts recently that say you shouldn't go north of good springs, but because I use a critical energy weps/ unarmed, I just killed the raider with love and hate and pwned from then on, I got to Vegas fast, and got better with skills quicker as I was doing high pay-out quests at low levels. I play on very hard with hardcoe on, and I always start like this, and I've spent hundreds of hours playing the game. Does anyone else go north or am I just special? (No pun intended)
