Finished the game earlier, started again and going to play a completely different way and with hardcore mode on.

Embarked on the quest to get my character

Killed Caesar last night in a vain last ditch attempt to get the NCR to like me. Didnt work now sadly is it possible to get to Legates camp without starting the final mission? Reckon doing him in should swing the NCR over.

I've been on that quest my whole life.

matrim

I've a weird one with the main quest.

I've met yes man and can see all the optional quests, and I've started the render onto Caesar, so that the legion are holding the platinum chip.

But I'm also their enemy, So if I go near any legion soldiers (except at the fort) they attack me and If I defend myself I become vilified and this ends the Render unto Caesar quest without me getting the chip back.

As I haven't met mister house yet, it means I can't do that part of the quest either as I don't have the chip. So I have to avoid all legion or do more of the main quest.

I'm surprised by the sheer number of quests going on at any one time. I must have a dozen or so - and could have another dozen more I suspect. They're also much longer quests than those in FO3 I feel, bar stuff like Moira's research quests and the main one. There seems to be a lot more to it in NV.

I'm also pleasantly surprised at how the game gives you a great feeling for the desperation in the NCR forces, knowing the Legion are coming for them. It does a great job of showing a world on the verge of chaos, of takeover from the bad guys and with an ailing force trying to hold back the tide. The factions system works very well in this regard. I'm sure if I was playing it as a bad guy who sided with the Legion, I'd have a sense that the weak were there to be toppled, just waiting for us to take them over.

I've largely ignored the Strip side of things so far. I got in and chatted to House and chased Benny off, that's about it. I get the impression there's a LOT of stuff to do in there though.

I did things a bit differently and

got the chip first before I met Mr House, now I'm not entirely sure what to do

- but I'm avoiding doing any of the main quest and exploring as much as possible.

A legion guy will meet you outisde the casino Benny is/was in and give you a free pass so all your deeds vs the legion are wiped, you only get one so go straight to caesar when you get it.

I have that and can go to the fort fine and talk to caesar, but it's legion people outside of the fort that attack me.

I think I'll just have to avoid them or progress with that quest until after I need the chip

Kill NCR dudes and lots of them to raise your level with Caesar, this will feck up your game and leave you as an outcast and under constant attack

Installed most of the mods last night,

Really? Cause there's about a thousand on this site
( I have about 10 mods installed: Binoculars fixed, the d3d.dll thing, FOOK, Inventory sorter, MTUI, no auto aim and some that fix running and standing animations).
I will probably add fellout soon, the ridiculously bright nights are bothering me.

They really are a pain in the bollocks, though I find grenades and frag mines do a lot against them. I'm around the same level as you and they're a complete no no, unless there's only one of them. If there's more than 2, forget it, I just run away, or load up a save not to long ago if I can't escape.

Change into their armour / ditch Boone perhaps?

Just entered the

Bunker

myself last night before I stopped playing. Not sure who I want to help, its probably going to be House, as I haven't done much in Vegas yet

40 hours in and I just picked this weapon
YCS/186 aka

a unique version of the the Gauss rifle.

Wow it's powerful.
One-shoting almost everything. Picked it up near the north of the map in a mercs camp north of

Brooks Tumbleweed Ranch

Hey, as mentioned earlier I'm just wandering for the sake of it, but I'm afraid of accidently bumping into a location that might advance the main quest without me trying. I did that in Fallout 3 when I happened to come across a location -

The vault my dad was trapped in

that was 3/4 quests in the future.

So are there any vital locations I should generally stay away from as they're very main-quest'y?

I didn't have a companion and tried changing into their armour but they still shoot me on sight.

Its a video of the Havok model failing with the player beating the crap out of an

Problem with a mission in camp mccarron

I've to deactivate a bomb on the monorail, but I can't get onto the monorail at all. It leaves very very quickly, and even if I get to the steps to get on, there appears to be some form of glitch where i fall out the back of the carriage.

Anybody else experiencing this?

Is there a limit to the number of times that your companion can be knocked unconcious before they just up and leave? I appear to have lost Veronica after I used her as bait to get some nightstalkers.

Boone disappeared on me least night. Have no idea where he went. Just fast-travel somewhere and they might come back. He did for me.

Guys anyone know if the patch for the xBox 360 version is available yet?

Had no problems with this mission.
Found this though

Did you eavesdrop on him? and leave him alone? If you confronted him/killed him then it will blow up no matter what. I eavesdropped on him, left him alone and then went to defuse the bomb on the monorail. Maybe reload an earlier save and see if it works out that way?

Ah feck it, I shot him straight in the face. Thanks for the help!

It's obvious this game is liked, so I have a question:

What don't you like about this game and does that make it worse than Fallout3?

blaze1

yeah will maybe try to find another way around..
thought they were just bloat flies

Fire and explosives work wonders against those things. Do you have a grenade rifle by any chance? Pick up the extended barrel and some incendiary rounds for it then give them a good barbequeing.

Make sure you target them in VATS too as they'll likely move to fast to hit otherwise
