I've been playing for about 16 hours. I will admit, and you can all criticize me and make fun of me if you want, but I was having a hard time killing Violet... I don't have the right array of weapons to handle all the dogs (supposedly the number of them is dependent on your level - I'm at level 8, and there are at least 10 dogs!). They aren't hard to kill, but when the entire pack closes in, it's overwhelming without rapid fire weapons. So I helped myself out by switching game difficulty to Very Easy. Now, NONE of my weapons work. Guns don't fire, mines don't set, dynamite doesn't get thrown. In VATS, the normal slow motion graphics come up, but the shot never fires... the scene just plays out and goes back to gameplay. If I come out of pause or out of my Pip screen, whatever weapon I'm holding fires on its own - so much for stealth! After dying a few times, I got in a lucky 'misfire' and killed Violet. But of course, the dogs killed me because I couldn't make any of my weapons work against them. Is this a glitch with Very Easy mode? Yeah, I'm a pansy because of the Very Easy thing, and yeah, I'm a girl. But I'm no stranger to gaming, or my console. So, before you ask, yes, I've reset my console, yes, I've checked the batteries in my controller, and yes, I've tested said controller on another game. No dice. FNV is now unplayable for me, which is really fricking crappy. If anyone has any tips, advice, etc... I'm all ears. Thanks in advance.
