Perhaps it's just me, but are caps flowing like water in F:NV? I kind of burned myself out on it for now, so I went back to F3 to give me some 'cool down' time to play F:NV again, and while not HARD, I do seem to make caps in the snap of a finger in F:NV, yet with F3 it seems a littler harder to make caps. My question is this, Is it just me or are caps much easier to make in New Vegas?

This isnt a complaint, it's just something I've noticed.

It's not just you.
Merchants have alot more caps in New Vegas than in Fallout 3.This means you can sell more stuff.
It makes sence in a way because of the casino's.

Well, I suppose your right, since I do find alot more stuff to sell. The only bad thing is trying to quit picking up wrenches and remember they are useless in Fallout 3 :laugh:

Yeah, D.C. has no real source of income haha. Not exactly an attraction anymore. Just kind of a place where you make a city based on a bomb, fight super mutants, and enclave.

I'm always under 5000 caps..

Until I got gold bars.

Are you a packrat haha? All the guns I don't use I just sell unless they're unique. Armors too. I also always raise my luck too 10 haha.

Yeah, If I loot something it tends to stay in my inventory.. and I loot alot.

Food, junk crap, ammo and more food, crappy weapons that I intend to sell but never do, and other stuff.

I've done this in every RPG, and Mass Effect was so cruel to me..

And in real life, my garage is awful.

Hahaha... Wow... You are my hero.

I usually sell all guns besides my beautiful Vera (Anti Material Gun) I'll keep that and maybe afew other guns, and alot of the unique weapons I save. The only armor I keep are faction armors for which ever faction I'm helping in the game - and only if I like it (so in current game I'm keeping NCR Trooper Armor, NCR Ranger Patrol Armor, and NCR Combat Armor) amongst with the Followers coat. But those are in my closets at Lucky 38.

And the weapons I keep with me all the time are the Gobi Campaign Rile, All-American, and usually a spare Anti-Material Gun (.50 Cal), and a 12.7mm Pistol with silencer for close quarters and silence. But even with the .50 Cal I usually keep that on my companion and just yank it when I need it.

I don't waste time with Sunset Sasporellos or Pure Waters since they weight me down, and most foods or items in the Aid section that have any weight I dispose of them or sell them almost instantly.

So by the time I'm level 20 I usually have 40,000 Caps almost at every giving second.

You get money faster in NV, but then again everything is much more expensive.

Very true. Got too many caps? Go get some surgeries.

No everything is worth more in NV. Example is the Metal armor in F3 is worth like 500 caps and the Metal armor in FNV is worth 1100. Also alot of other stuff and yes Merchants do have alot more caps doesn't mean that everything else should go up in value. I think in FNV it is way to easy to make money. Hell i struggled to make 25k in F3.

I recall many complained about the massive inflation in the Capital Wasteland when Fallout 3 had been out for a while...
But, as the poster above me said even though there is much more caps in NV, it's worth much less. A fully repaired weapon can easily cost several thousand caps, and special ammunition is also very expensive.


But the biggest difference, IMO, is that there is much more high-value loot in Fallout 3, while in NV the late-game goodies are either sold by merchants or received in quests, not picked from random goons you come across.

Also take notice that everything is cheaper in FO3.

yes and it should be like that in NV a 10 mm pistol should not be valued at 2000 caps. Its way to high and expensive.

Ah, but everything was also much weaker in FO3, besides the bullet sponges. In NV, the 10mm is a great sidearm that can last and perform admirably all the way through the game.

yes it is a great sidearm but i like the revolvers better. There epic.

I just miss my R91 Assault Rifle, that was my main weapon in Fallout 3, wasnt as strong as the Type-87 (Chinese Assault Rifle) but it had a faster reload speed and i found it to be more managable.

Naw i thought hat the Chinese assualt rifle was the bomb. Espically its unique version of it. The assualt rilfe was good but no as great as the Type-87

It's a matter of opinion, really, i never had any trouble using the R91, it also was more durable, and it fit my "soldier" role quite well.

why wouldnt he chinese assualt rifle fit that role better.

Prepare yourself for my catch-phrase.

'Cuz I aint a commie.

...It isnt being commie for using a communist weapon. Thats just some illogical mumbo jumbo.

The casinos really make it easy. I have level 10 luck so I can get unlimited caps.

It is a commie gun, used by commies, i dont use commie guns, or wear commie clothing either.

Better dead then red. (in this case red dead redemption is correct)
