So I started doing DiD quite awhile ago but didn't post my progress. So far my best character hit lvl 22 before a deathclaw mauled the hell out of him. I've persevered though and started 2 new characters:

Salvo is guns/sneak focus and is becoming incredibly OP at lvl 21. Having died so many times just trying to get past the weak-as-hell early game hump I decided to be super cautious with him and do easy and incredibly safe quests early on as well as avoiding major dangers like being vilified by NCR or Legion. Right away I went to Freeside and did tons of quests and gambling netting me lvl 10 before I ventured into the wasteland at all. I then got both Rex and Boone and with Boone and me sniping and Rex tanking I'm completely unstoppable. That being said the ease with which I'm getting through the content has become frustrating (and I don't have any of the DLC to challenge him) so I started my second character.

Ordinance is only lvl 8 focused on Melee/Explosives. So far I've played him pretty safe as well by only going to relatively easy areas but the very nature of his weapons makes this character much dicier to play safely. I've decided Ordinance should be evil as hell too so right away I took over Goodsprings and I'm heading towards Cottonwood Cove to begin the Legion quests. I've never done a Legion playthrough either so no meta-gaming it's very exciting.

What is the exact rules for Dead is Dead?

Well, your'll get a full introduction from the others but the only real rule is Dead is Dead. Once your character is dead you must delete his save file.

The above is pretty much it, there are no other fixed rules than that.

Some of us use additional self-imposed rules, however such is not required, nor is playing at max difficulty like some folks do.

What is the exact rules for Dead is Dead?

http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1199130-did-you-did/page__view__findpost__p__17841204__fromsearch__1 That covers most of the important stuff. Oh, and rule #1010101 is have fun.

To everyone: I know I'm a little behind on some things here, but I think my explaination will allow you to excuse me. I've started a Dead is Dead wiki. The link will be in my sig. It'll be a place when anyone playing any game will be able to post detailed information about their DIDs, keep blogs, upload pics, etc. There'll be Honor Rolls of the Dead, just like here, but you'll have more info you can put there and you'll be able to sort the info. Right now, it's mostly just draft pages (which I have protected until I get them right) but the talk pages and user pages are open. Take a look and leave me some feedback there if you want.

Don't die.

lol i'm aware of the don't die rules. But I mean with in terms of the game screwing you over for a death, like being caught in vats where there is nothing you can do, etc. or the magical 95% accuracy in VATS miss with the Brush gun repeatedly.

If you die due to a glitch, it doesn't count unless you want it to. I reloaded once when my collar detonated due to a glitch where I didn't get the warning and the audio didn't play. Gunny reloaded when his Grenade MG thing suffered from the "no explosion damage" glitch against Deathclaws on the Lonesome Road. In short, if the game screws you over, you can reload. If it was your failure, your character's dead.

Oh: Samantha has made it out of Dead Money. She's hanging around to loot the place and level a bit-do the Ghost People respawn? Ultimate goal is to work up enough buffs and skills to enter the Police Storeroom. She's lvl 23 with Night Person and Walker Instinct to compliment and counter, respectively, Claustrophobia. That's annoying enough that I'm considering getting it treated when I get to Old World Blues.

I always play at least one DID game but usually after the first play through but for the next fallout why not im great at fleeing like a wuss

[Manuel rivera]

WOOOOOOO WEEEE, been a long time since I walked into this town. :celebration: howdy partners, long time no see, been a bit busy with life (along with Dead Island and Starcraft 2: heart of the swarm details)

...wha? no one missed me? :sadvaultboy:

On topic:at lvl.26, since I barely touched my D-I-D character, nor fallout new vegas, Carl "Demoman" Krause still living strong and better then ever (since by the looks of it, I must've spent a pretty bottle cap trying to get Esther XD)

[Dan Wright]

My first D.I.D. character Raina level 8 got mauled by a swarm of nightstalkers, they just came out of nowhere. Then there was Cadderlie level 7 who decided just one more shot while low on health. The bullets seemed to fly out of the shotgun sideways because they didn't hit the raider right in front of her.

Verity my current character is doing much better. Level 12 now, has survived numerous attempts on her life by Legion Assassins. Once I thought it all over, I couldn't shake these guys, ran into ranger station charlie. I managed to successfully hide up one of the trailers but they wouldn't leave. One of them spotted me and threw a grenade which blew me off my perch right over the wall, (mod added explosive effects) I landed between the wall and cliff with no way out but the road in front with 2 Legion Centurians running up and down it (they sure run fast). To cut a long story short I managed to split them up and kill them but it was nail biting stuff. I'm sticking with a survival/unarmed/guns build, ignoring science and see how it goes.

[Nina Mccormick]

Well, since my camera cannot hold a charge it's out of commish for a while. So onto my character Eli, So after seeing he had 8000 caps, I brought some 308 ammo for my hunting rifle. After wards I brought some 10mm ammo and I had about 7000 caps left. So I decided to do the G.I blues quest. Upon doing the quest G.I Blues and going to do the first part. I stumbled upon some Kings wearing the Memphis kid outfit and upon thinking of my evil plasma mines I was going to sell to the Gun Runners, I pushed one forward into the three man group and placed a mine on one of them, They all died, and I got the outfit which looks pretty awesome. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Memphis_kid_outfit

Spoiler

Before that I got Cass killed and got the Van Graff Combat armor.

[Steeeph]

Well, I'm back in the Mojave. And apparently, while I was gone, a lot of new weapons showed up. So the question now is... Two-Step Goodbye, Embrace of the Mantis King!, or Greased Lightning? One way or another, she has Slayer.

Picked up my latest Dead-is-Dead character, Brianna, again, after getting sidetracked by other games and some modding, and she's currently closing in on L25 while working her way through Dead Money. I will be moving my base to Big MT after that, and doing Old World Blues in order to have unlimited access.

This character is built tank-style, in much the same way Bruno was; like him she's a Heavy Weapons specialist, but Explosives/Energy Weapons instead of Explosives/Guns, and without the strict perk-based weapon limitations. Her current (and final) loadout:

The Smitty Special
Cleansing Flame
Sprtel-Wood9700
Plasma Defender(GRA)+++ (for casino and emergency use, I modded PDs to be concealable)
Esther (Big Kid and Tiny Tots rounds)

I am trying something a bit different this time around, and only healing via eating my kills. I've been gradually moving towards completely living off the land on my characters, and decided to target my hoarding of food items this time around. subsequent characters will also sell more often, regardless of item condition, and I won't be picking up miscellaneous items that can neither be crafted with nor turned in to the Sink AIs.

Good to see ya. And congrats on your progress. I sometime have the same problem. But I'm going in reverse. I've got my currnet character, lvl50, all dlcs done, and all of the sudden I just started picking up everything and anything out of the blue. Wow. I hadn't done any of this with this character, but when I got done with LR, I just cleaned the place out. Now I can't stop. It's like I need LA (looter's anonymous).

Before I continue any further in my DID playthrough, I'll post my update here.

My character, Marcus Reed, has defused te bomb in megaton and saved the sherif from Mr. Burke.

He then journeyed to Arefu to deliver Lucy West's letter, only to easily find out how her parents died. So, I tracked her brother down and saved him from the group he was hanging out with. Now, I'm gonna discover these few locations and scavage any loot I find worth some caps. Heading up to Minefield soon too.

From my recent playing, I avoid mirelurks when possible, for It's a pain to get a Headshot on those bullet sponges.

Marcus Reed
Lvl. 5 and growing...
