New Vegas:Honest Hearts..My thoughts

[Drakron]

When I said challenging, I meant relative to vanilla NV.

Its still not more challenging relative to the Mojave as in the Mojave you can get fucked over by not having a vender with Doctors Bag or ammo of the weapon you are currently using as there is a Vendor machine at every area of the Sierra Madre and even backtracking can be a bit annoying due to layout its still something you can easy do.

Dead Money, after you figure things out, is very easy since you are stripped of all your gear and given all the tools needed to complete it, unless you gone full retardo and played with a explosives build.

But you are correct: Hardcore mode could have done more to make it harder (the life drain wasn't too strenuous).

I do say I got killed a lot with Dead Money start but then I realized the game never spawned new enemies unless it was at certain points and when I got over the "hoard the chips" that is even easy to "let go" when you learn you can get the a unlimited amount of vouchers (free chips) that the end as long you win at the Casino, the only thing Dead Money have over the others is getting the cards and skill books, for "collectables" getting then all requires effort as Honest Hearts had none besides the Survivalist.

As for the life drain being easy ... well I disagree as it killed me a few times due to combat and lack of healing supplies, it was as much as a annoyance as it was a danger since interiors were few and about 80% of the time (pre-Sierra Madre Casino Hotel) you were on it.

There was one thing that could really annoy the crap out of you ... if you sleep as it would trigger the "need sleeping" as there was few locations were you could do that (if I recall, only in the Police Station), making it "harder" is not something I would appreciate as OWB is hard enough as it is without resorting to things like "timers" and "health drain".

It is pretty lulz to use the Mercy and somehow avoid getting yourself killed in the process.

Fallout: New Vegas IS, without a doubt, the best Action-cRPG game.

All of the DLC have been pretty good as well. Dead Money was challenging and Honest Hearts had the awesome Survivalists backstory (Desert Ranger armor is also pretty bad ass, FORGIVE ME MAMA I just blew some fuckers head off!). Going to be playing Old World Blues once I can decide on what sort of character to take through it.

If Skyway is to Kotor obsession wise, I am to FO:NV.

I don't care about trolling but KOTOR 1 and 2 are seriously some of my most favorite games of all time.

New Vegas is definitely awesome as well. Even though Obsidian still hasn't learned how to bug test after all these years and Bioware just keeps derping it up more and more since KOTOR.

I has survival 70 and after passing the check there still was a limit - 100 lbs.

I am sorry but that was what I have and I use no mods (besides a few bug fixes) and I gone over the 100 lbs limit every time I played it since I have way too much crap and sorting to removing then is just a pain in the ass, hell I still log around that 35 lbs gold bar because I keep forgetting about it.


He still talks about the limit but as far I am aware, its not enforced if you pass that check.

Well, I just did that 50 Survival skill check and I got hit with a 100lb limit, so I'm not sure what happened with you.

You could also go to the Medical Clinic where you find Christine and use the machines their to "sleep" and restore your limbs.
