Even in fallout 3 I always roamed solo. Not to mention I have yet to find anyone that wanted to tag along with me anyway.... :cry:

In FO3 I had the big-ass supermutant tagging along with me. He was pretty epic with the gatling laser gun. Just set him loose against enemies, wait and loot the bodies and XP.:brain:

You can't finish the game without Fawkes. At least not without meeting him, and it's pretty easy to make him stick with you. After that it's up to you to get rid of him or not. I want the dog though. Probably need the animal quirk?

I didnt kill him but i disabled him. im trying to stay on the NCRs goodside. Im bout to go take out The Brotherhood of Steel though after i complete all their quest and see if i can get trained to wear their power armor before i destroy them. :giggle:

I disabled him first, then turned back to perform facial reconstruction surgery with a shotgun. Trying to side with NCR too and the legion already put a hit out on me. Pesky fuckers are strong

yeah, i think im gonna go back and set that motherfucker on fire! i got the NCR and The Brotherhood of Steel to come to a truce. if you join the Brotherhood they will train you for power armor. :D

Late to the thread, but +1. Honestly one of the worst games I'd ever played.

Just got New Vegas in hopes that it's better... It isn't. What's so fun about the games?

For reference, RPGs are my life. I played over 800 logged hours of Oblivion, but when Fallout came out I decided I would rather shit my pants than play it any more. All it's doing right now is wasting excessive amounts of space on my drive.

Any of you homos still playing? Just beat the game earlier today. Shitty thing is there's no more playing after finishing the main story, so keep a decent save ready before actually wrapping it up.

Sided with Yes-Man. Might start another playthrough with a different character build this time.

Really? You decided to end it that quick? lol

I just turned level 20 and decided to take on Cass and the ED robot as companions. It said when I went to add Boone that you cant have 2 at the same time, but for some reason it let me take on the robot.

I'm going to do everything I can before I go back to see yes man. You could defiantly tell that the whole "war at hoover dam" deal is the game ender. So I'm exploring all 4 corners first.

Right now I'm working on the NW areas. I still need to find the god damn shovel I had in the beginning of the game so I can dig up some of these graves!

What perks and skills are you guys going with? I picked the solar powered one for level 20. Brought my item weight limit to 270lbs, which really comes in handy.

I got fed up with the shitty quests I had left (run all the way across the map, do stupid shit and go back). Made it to level 24 after the final battle. Can't remember all the perks and stuff. Next run I'll give wild wasteland a try, should be fun. There's a shovel somewhere in Goodsprings for sale.

Also, my unarmed and melee skills were at max 20 points or so, yet I could kill cazadores quicker with fists than with guns skilled at 80?

Alright so my gf loaned me her copu of New Vegas because shes playing Fable right now.
Im ~11 hours in and about to go to vault 22, since I dont have 2k caps to get into the strip and continue the main quest.

Ive done a few side quests. I launches the gouls in the rockets at REPCO, I fought off the powder blasters at the beginning town (with all the optional stuff), I got Boone the sniper at the T-rex, and some other random shit.

Getting Boone is so fucking helpful, he saved my ass fighting those invisible fucks in the REPCO rocket place, and hes extremely helpful when Ive got swarms of shit to deal with.

Has anybody tried heading through the area infested with nightclaws? I figured Boone and I could go in there and tear ass up, but they raped us so hard. First hit cripples wherever it hits you, second hit kills you. Those things are absurd.

Thats interesting, because I LOVED FO3, and couldnt stand Oblivion after about 3 hours.
Im a big fan of RPGs, although most of them dont meet my standards. I felt FO3 was top notch for gameplay, not the greatest story, but overall it was excellent.

You can have up to 4 companions at one time ... 5 if you count a freeside body guard. I have Veronica and Rex right now - good melee tanks.

Oblivion was the weakest fucking game I ever played in my life. I played for maybe 1-2 hours and tried to give it a chance, but I just thought it was terrible. Sold it on ebay for about $5 less than I paid for it though.

Really? I wonder why Boone said to let him know when I had room for him then. And I could have sworn also seeing a info box pop up that said I could only have 1 at a time. Maybe cause I'm on hard mode?

i dont think im on hard mode either and it said i couldnt have more than one either!

Well right now I still have Cass and the robot. I'm about ready to fucking kill them though! :vash:

In vault 38 they got in the way every god damn time i would go into vats mode! I click vats and it targets the people that are with me before it targets the fucking enemy! WTF!

And not to mention they both would run off and get killed while I was searching around rooms and shit. I had to re-load like 20 times to get them back. I'm ready to just let them die, but I like the perks I have from them.

But really, I couldn't imagine 2 more people in the way and have to worry about. I'd end up tossing the controller at the screen! :bowrofl:

you know you can pull up a command screen for you compainions to tell them to wait or to attack and even access their inventory right?
