What's going down in the Mojave?!?!

Here's what I would like to know:

What's happening with your current Character?

What's your current goals?

What quests are you currently doing?

Found anything strange/interesting?

How rich are you?

What play style have you chosen? (Assassin, run and gun, Melee etc.)

Playing on hardcoe?

What difficulty are you playing on?

I'll start:

I'm in Novac with my latest character selling things and storing things in my house. My goal is to get a good stock of ammo, food and stims together and proceed to New Vegas. I'm currently working on ED-E my love, interesting quest but too low of a level to get to places. Nothing interesting found at the moment, not that into it though but hopefully I'll find something interesting. I'm poor, 1762 caps but I suppose I have a steady supply of things. I've chosen assassin as it's easiest to pick of targets from a distance, but if needed I do have a shotgun at hand to kill any who wish to get close. I am indeed playing on hardcoe with the difficulty at Very Hard, I love a challenge!

- What's happening with your current Character?

She's Level 21, added a couple unique weapons to her heavy arsenal (Annabelle and Thump-Thump), and completed the quests for 3 companions already (Cass, Rex and ED-E)

- What's your current goals?

Firstly, not dying, since it's a DiD playthrough. Secondly, siding with the NCR for the achievements, and beating all DLCs without dying.

- What quests are you currently doing?

For Auld Lang Syne, Return to Sender and For the Republic, Part 2.

- Found anything strange/interesting?

Some random Strip MP approached me and attacked FOR NO REASON, outside of the NCR embassy, even though I had good NCR rep. He hit like a pansy, so I just ran and lured him inside Vault 21, so nobody would see him die and ruin my NCR reputation.

- How rich are you?

Not swimming in caps, but not poor either. 8000+, I think. Spent some on the important implants (Intelligence, Endurance, Sub-Dermal) already.

- What play style have you chosen? (Assassin, run and gun, Melee etc.)

This is an Explosives/Melee character, a walking tank. Power Armor-clad, all related DT and health perks, explosive damage to boot and strong melee to finish enemies off. Skills are being raised evenly, other than combat skills, no specializations.

- Playing on hardcoe?

Definitely.

- What difficulty are you playing on?

Hard. Very Hard is too bullet-spongy for my tastes.

Location: I am in Primm. Just offloaded the latest loot, did some shopping for ammo, now preparing to hit the Jackals at the Nipton Road Pit Stop.

Goals: Heading to Novac to advance the next quest, acquire Boone and the room, levelling up to 12 for Hand Loader, then 14 for Jury Rigging. Yes, I am disturbingly high-level for that stage of the journey. Blame Lonesome Road.

Quests: Checking out Nipton for Ghost. I'm OCD about quests, so I've already gone all the quests from NCRCF to the Mojave Outpost.

Strange / interesting finds: Found an Incinerator in the grave by the Yangtze Memorial which usually spawns a Plasma Rifle.

How rich: Just under 3000 caps, but I have my needs covered. I have also hoarded up lots of things I could sell in an emergency but they'll turn in far greater profit later in the game.

Play Style: Explosives trooper with Guns as secondary. I've got a Grenade Rifle in top condition and some 50 rounds for it; with Grunt and one level of Demolition Expert it puts down a Giant Radscorpion in two shots. I also carry a fully modded Varmint rifle (mostly for target spotting with the scope and for assassinations) and that 9mm SMG from Doc Mitchell's house. The plan is to do 80-90% of my fighting with Explosives and fall back on a high DPS automatic weapon like the LMG in close quarters. I plan to take Hand Loader and perks that boost damage but avoid crit chance- and crit damage-boosting perks as they don't benefit Explosives. I may even got for Power Armor + Hit the Deck build which will allow me to use lower-powered Explosives (Dynamite, 20mm APW) for self-defense even in close quarters.

hardcoe: No.

Difficulty: Forgot to check, give me a moment...

I like your play style. I've never actually tried one like that before and might consider it for my next play through.

I've been meaning to go back to my old save, but I have been side tracked by a ton of other games right now. I believe that I just got to Camp McCarren while following the main story line pretty closely. I don't like to stray until after I've been to Vegas.

My character is in the Big Empty (Big MT) doing Old World Blues. Just finished "All My Friends Have Off Switches" and currently working on getting the upgrades for them. Currently have around 125,000+ caps, lots of old world money, and one gold bar.

Have I found anything strange or interesting? Old World Blues is filled with strange. I did just find Elijah's advanced LAER which is a pretty shiny new toy.

My play style is a good karma cowgirl sort - guns and melee - who helps people in the wasteland with her medicine and science. She been wearing Joshua Grahams armor since HH (love everything about it).

I was playing on hardcoe (finished the game) then reloaded and am now doing the expansions in regular mode. I usually play on normal difficulty, adjusting for challenge.
