no way fag

Fuck you I'm taking all of it.

Letting go is for chumps that don't know how to sneak past Elijah.

i have no shame

why was this DLC so fuckin good bros

>let go
>implying i wouldn't find a way to get all those gold bars out of the vault.

Gold in Bethesda games is so unsatisfying because it doesn't look like gold. Ever since Morrowind or Oblivion they've had this brown gold thing going on.

It wasn't.

It was tiresome unless you had a specific build going in.

Yeah, i sure wonder why gold that lied in a dusty vault for hundreds of years isn't shiny
Casual

>Money isn't is that big of a deal in the game
Take a few if you want, but it doesn't really matter enough to be an actual "moral" choice

cheater

>decapitate Elijah
>put all of the gold in his skull
>carry it out

Lmoa

You let go OP. The moral of the story was to prove Elijah to be the retarded dick he was, so you had to take the money and run.

Seems to support most builds except very specialized ones, like Pyro builds. There are good guns for a Guns build, Holorifle for Energy Weapons, bear trap fist and knife-spear for melee. Nothing real good for explosives though.

I took it all, put it in a locker in the abandoned bunker and then forgot all about it. Money is so easy to come by anyway.

post a picture of your Courier and their story, also what youre currently doing

fpbp

I'm just picturing this mentally and it's hilarious

>Yeah, i sure wonder why gold that lied in a dusty vault for hundreds of years isn't shiny
user...
One of the reasons gold is so valuable is that it doesn't tarnish. No matter how old it gets, it always looks shiny.

>not using the console to flood the lobby of the Lucky 38 with mountains of gold bars
Shit was like the treasure room from Aladdin and it lagged like a mother fucker.

I always take one as a souvenir.
>I went to the sierra madre and all I got was this lousy gold ingot

>implying I care about money that far into the game
I just take one as a souvenir. They have terrible weight/value ratio anyways.

You look like that faggy barber from fo3.

this is not country for old men user

Let's go, Courier!

I like the Assassin Suit over the Stealth Suit Mk2 because I don't want some distracting voice.

>Letting go when you can walk out of there with all bars and lock him up at the same time without cheating.
Seems like you just suck at video games.

I've never actually taken the gold.
By the time I do DM I usually have more money than god anyway, so I don't need it.

I put power armor into the trash when I got stealth suit with its lovely voice.

I took a shit in your waifu

>all these people who used console commands to get them out
Why not just give yourself the money at that point?

It's like a mausoleum

>implying cheaters take it for gold
They probably dump it into a bathtub in Lucky 38 and forget about it.

>for gold
for money*

>dump it in the bathtub
>not autisticly spend hours perfectly stacking it.

Or simply give yourslef the bars.

>Take the bars
>Can't do anything with them anyway since no merchant has enough caps to buy them at full price
I refuse to sell them for less than they're worth

get rekt Dean, also check'em

I do that with guns I put on shelfs to display.

They are best used to buy all the absurdly expensive GRA weapons.

I usually bring a couple to the Gun Runners, buy whatever unique weapon I'm using for that save and whatever ammo it takes.

I was level 50 full on hunk when I got there so I managed to get like 10 of them with me + some weapons, didn't really learn my lesson.

The vanilla carry weight is a joke, especially since the ammo is weightless.

>especially since the ammo is weightless
Only when you play casual mode.

>play casual mode
>complain about it being a joke
Gee

Power Armor or Riot Gear, which has the better aesthetic with the LMG?

riot gear has the better aesthetic with everything

...

Power armor.

Just look at heavy NCR troops.

riot gear, gives off the aesthetic of a military remnants sort of vibe

I always play this the way the narrative expects me to. I take one gold bar as a souvenir and leave the rest.

How hard is it to actually try taking everything in vault?

well vanilla hardcore doesn't really make the game much harder, only more tedious

I want that Wolf Brigade aesthetic

The gold should have been the door trap, not the computer file. I get that Sinclair meant to bait Dean into locking himself in with the "secret records", but from a gameplay perspective the "letting go" choice would have been better if picking up a bar set off some Indiana Jones mechanism that initiated the Bad End screen instead of checking the terminal.

Not at all. You can either just take everything and slooowly sneak around Elijah, or kill Elijah and shove all the gold in his head, then carry it out.

Buy what you want from the merchants until they have enough then clear out their wallets for some weak ass metal.

Weight managment is more than tedium, it determines how much useful gear can you carry and forces you to make choices and compromises. Hunger/thirst are factors when it comes to weight as well, as you need to have enough food/drink or the ability to get in the field.

That said I agree the values are not quite right in vanilla, usually too high. JSawyer carry weight with backpacks enabled is much better.

I don't recall excactly what part of this DLC that made me put down FO:NV and never touch it again.

Might have been that I did it last, after the other ones it was just a huge letdown..

is this in game? what ENB is that?

I glitched through a wall on PS3 with all the loot.
Haven't done Dead Money on PC yet.

>At the start of New Vegas the NCR dollar is down
>BoS attacked the gold reserve in Redding
>NCR dollar is gold backed
>You find and can possible bring back a literal ton of unclaimed gold ingots
You can fuck up the NCR economy even harder, right?

>NCR dollar is gold backed
It WAS gold backed before BoS irradiated Redding. They went back to water backed after that.

Ammo weight is a big deal. Although you are still able to carry too much.

The problem with food and drink is that it does little more than have you open the awful inventory every 10 minutes to snack on something and carrying enough food to last you a nuclear winter aint that big of a deal. I guess the water weight is the most annoying, but then Mojave is kinda easy on finding pure water.

how does a gold bar that size weight 35 kilograms? more like 20 at best

What's a good mod for slowing down the rate you level up at? I always end up getting way too fucking strong way too fast, even when I take the trait for slowing down exp gain.

God fucking damn it somehow I forgot to get the Survivalist's armor in Honest Hearts

walking around because i've done every single quest and have nothing to fucking do but keep seeing these threads then feeling the urge to play anyway

might dl NV bounties or something

you don't even need to specialize in energy weapons for the Holorifle to be good.

My character only had like 20 in energy weapons and the Holorifle was still OP as fuck.
And the Gauss Rifle you get from killing Elijah is even more powerful than that.

So you didn't let go, you learned nothing, a valuable life lesson goes past another.

Psychologically you're more likely to reflexively care less about holding on to it or losing it if the gold itself is "the bad thing" in a panic scenario, so it wouldn't have worked well with the gold itself as the trigger.

j sawyer's mod

>What's a good mod for slowing down the rate you level up at?
JSawyer increases the amount of XP you need to level up by 33% and nerft most of the XP rewards from quests a little bit. That said the level cap is decreased to 35.

Originally played the DLC on console, managed to get all the gold out, it was a very difficult process and admittedly I only managed to pull it off because I had hoarded a ton of mines in my inventory. Was incredibly proud of myself, but I never did anything further with the gold, I left it in the Abandoned BoS Bunker on display.

Does gold backing even work in fallout? I guess you can still make jewelry out of the metal, but what else do you need it for? Most industry in fallout is dead anyway.

All I had to do was
>open console
>tgm

>not storing it in the safe at the Dino motel

Man, one of the things I miss the most from Fallout NV that 4 didn't have was all that currency.
You had PW bills, NCR bills, caps, legion Denari, and even gold bars. It was so satisfying to hoard all that money in my safe and feel like Scrooge McDuck when I opened it.

Can someone explain why gold has value in a post-apocalyptic setting?

where are your must have Chinese officer swords, fancy gambler hats and riotgear overcoats ?

> I guess you can still make jewelry out of the metal, but what else do you need it for?
Well what else do you need gold for in real life?

>inb4 electronics
You need very little gold for that and silver has a lot more industrial use than gold yet it's far cheaper.

It's not about direct usefulness, that's not how fiat currencies work. The point is there are limited amounts of it, it doesn't degrade easily and it's hard to obtain.

Hey this looks pretty go-
>base carry weight reduced to 50

Aaaagh this makes my internal hoarder instinct scream in agony.

It'll at least train me not to carry five billion tons of ammo for shit I don't use.

Dean did nothing wrong

It's not unthinkable that it is because "it was valuable before the great war" combined with that it doesn't easily degrade, so it keeps its value/quantity.

And I think it's used in some small quantities in electronics, so there's that..

I never bothered with hardcore mode. Carry weight is tedious enough. It's nice to see how the game is set up for hardcore mode with places to sleep and access to food and water throughout areas, but I still have no desire to engage in extra tedium.

Same. I've walked the length and breadth of the map, and there's honestly not much to do if you've completed every quest, even with all the bounties episodes.

just grab a companion and ED-E

It was possible to get them all out without cheating.

I do that, ED-E tends to become the mule for all the scrap I pick up to make weapon repair kits with.

Also companions made the game too easy but if player health is quartered I might need them again, since I can't exactly pick up an anti materiel rifle right off the bat at goodsprings

Well, hoarder gives you 15 carry weight, both Strong Back and Burden to Bear give 25, so that's 65 bonus already.

Also you can find backpacks that give you bonus carry weight. They all weight 5 lbs and have progressively more carry weight bonus at the cost of sneak penalty, I think it starts from 10 carry weight and no penalty up to -20 sneak and 30 carry weight bonus.

You can also wear a small pouch together with backpacks, it also weights 5 lbs and gives +10 carry weight so in the end it's +5. I think trader outfit gives some bonus carry weight too.

So if you want to be a hoarder in JSawyer, you have to actually build for it.

I loved all the various currency and I was notorious for hoarding it all and never exchanging it or anything. I wish 4 would have at least added a couple different currencies for the factions.

>Completely logical that the Institute even entertained the idea of bottle cap currency

By cheesing the game mechanics? Yeah, you can do many things by exploiting how games work.

Yes, electronics. You obviously need enough for poor people in india to go sift through the shit to extract it out of discarded electronics. Also medicine, glassmaking, aerospace and so on.

Dont know, doesnt seem like people in fallout would give a shit about gold.

this dlc sucked

The reason people want gold is the same reason as ever in history. It looks pretty and it's a sign of wealth and power.

Beginning outfit is simple leather armor, sunglasses and a cowboy hat
Weapons is surdy caravaner shotgun, a .44 magnum and a combat knife
Later when I'm houses agent I upgrade to Elite army Riot gear. Anti material rifle, This Machine and mysterious magnum.

>you learned nothing
>valuable life lesson
I hope you don't really think you're learning life lessons from video games
