What level were you when you entered the strip for the first time? Also what faction did you end up choosing?

What level were you when you entered the strip for the first time? Also what faction did you end up choosing?

Right now I'm level 30 and still haven't gone in yet, I'm saving it for last
Going for a NCR playthrough right now

>come up with a fun build idea
>enter vegas at level 1
>gamble until you've cleared out every casino
>get 4-5k exp from all the easy "running around" quests in freeside/vegas
>take all the money you won buy all the implants you need plus a top tier weapon from the gunrunners/van graffs
>lose motivation to keep playing
>come up with a fun build idea...

7, this kind of ruined nv for me. I just went straight to Vegas ignoring all quests because that was probably where benny would be, so i just grinded for 500 caps, joined the ncr and that was that.

>enter strip at low level, 4 maybe
>wearing leather armor at 0 condition
>still using the varmint rifle from Sunny Smiles
>do what House tells me to
>can't hurt legionnaires
>make a mad dash to Lanius and talk him down

Is that bad game design or was I just playing it wrong?

>still using the varmit rifle when you get to vegas
what the fuck user

This is with DLC, right? I don't think there's enough content to reach level 30 without the strip in the base game

It's a solid weapon, specially the Ratslayer

Yeah I have all the DLC but I haven't done any of them yet
I was going for a no fast travel run but gave up like 20 hours in
Not fast traveling actually helps you level up a lot

varmint rifle has a good ammo type, good mods and almost 0 spread so it's a really effective sniper rifle for most of the early and mid game

the chad minmaxer
>doesn't roleplay, thinks he bought a shooter
>assumes the game will give him better guns
>goal-orientated, confused as to why he can't fast travel to New Vegas
>Took the shortcut north, Deathclaws aggroed Goodsprings - he will be surprised that he got the bad ending for Goodsprings
>thinks House is the only faction
>destroyed the protectron army and can't find Yes man
>later he will tell his friends that the game doesn't have an ending and that fallout 4 was better

>I want to waste more time than I already am the run

Yeah I know
It wasn't so terrible when you're in the lower section of the map but once some ques start sending you to the upper part of the map I gave up

>having to do the brotherhood quest without fast travel
I think that's where I'd be forced to quit

Like, the very first time? Don't remember what level but I came in on the train from McCarran and I sided with the NCR. By the time I fought Lanius I was wearing the Enclave power armor and using Mecry to blow through everyone in my way.

Nice dsp trailer cameo

Yep that's the one that made me quit

Pussies

How long did your no fast travel run last?

I was a dumb 12 year old and picked the edgy "fuck y'all other factions" wild care ending. I remember beating the game as some grossly overlevelled asshole with min-maxed perks/gear and wondering why I didn't have any fun

Man I can barely remember. Pretty sure I followed the road like the quest says, did all the quests in Primm, Novac and Boulder City before going straight to House and helping him all the way without a second glance at NCR or Yes-Man.

i was the same

i didn't really like the game a lot when i first played i, i thought it was fun enough but just wanted to get it over with so i rushed through the house ending and ignored everything else

Is there anyone who didn't immediately shoot Vulpes after talking to him in Nipton?

Threadly reminder that The House Always Wins is non-canon according to Bethesda.
I just dynamited his ass. Best use for all that powder ganger gear you pick up.

Okay user, since you're obviously dying to tell us: why is it non-canon according to Bethesda

>Maxson was appointed Elder of the East Coast branch in 2283 by the leadership of the West Coast branch
>NV takes place in 2281
Now that I think about it that means Legion winning is non-canon as well.

The Mojave Chapter of the BoS is cut off from whatever is left of the Western BoS in California. The Mojave Chapter being dead and Maxson being in contact with the Western BoS 2 years later are not mutually exclusive.

fucking scrubs

you thought the BOS in new vegas was the entire west coast BOS?

I don't play fallout 3
