I started playing this game again recently for the first time in years.
I'm playing on the xbox, and I'm actually enjoying it. The glitches and bugs just make it more entertaining for me.
I'm role-playing as an evil whiskey alcoholic, and I get into character by slamming liqour while I play.
Does anyone know how/where I can acquire some legion armour? I've been wearing the recruit armour all game, and it's shit.

>>333078770
Honestly the only mod I care about running is NMCs Texture mod because the vanilla game looks like shit.
It crashed every 10-15 minutes and when I looked into the problem everyone said to download the 4GB patch, so I did.

And the problem is, he isn't. He's valuing their innocence above everything else and refusing to let them grow as a society.
Ulysses just became unhinged when the thing he finally found to believe in was wiped out by random chance. The reason he comes off like a jabbering mental patient is because that's what he is. Daniel should know better.

Cass is a dumb self righteous drunk who belongs in a shallow desert grave.
>>333093732
Install the mod that stops Van Graffs from magically knowing that you fucked them. Do Casses mission all stealthy like for RP purposes.
>>333092293
I started by pouring points into explosives and melee (as a backup), taking a bunch of explosives from the Powder Gangers, then rushing Thump-Thump from the Boomers.
Thump-Thump is a solid weapon for most of the game, until you get others from DLC.
Most of your perks are pretty obvious, like Heave Ho and Demolition Expert. You'll also want things like Toughness, Pack Rat (for grenades), Rapid Reload (exp weapons usually only hold one at a time), Hit the Deck, Spray and Pray (if you're using companions), Heavyweight (if you're using launchers), Mad Bomber
Other perks that work with every build are Bloody Mess, Scrounger, Quickdraw

I did a energy weapons only run and sided with house so I also had to kill the BoS. Just leave that quest for later if you want but even if you kill them you can still buy their unique weapons like the smitty special and the unique laser gatling gun from the gun runners i think. Ammo shouldn't be a problem either.
>>333094662

You take the package, drop it off, pick up your paycheck. What other people are moving is their business.

Yet all I saw was an annoying area with absolutely nothing going on for it beyond the annoying as shit mechanics like radios and the clouds. Because god knows that what everyone wants to do when playing fallout is doing pixel hunts for stupid radios in the corner instead of exploring the place. Not to mention that it's easy as shit since the enemies are complete pushovers.

Ok gameplay and excellent roleplaying trump decent but repetitive gameplay and zero roleplaying
>>333096978
Yeah, and House's downfall was just expecting everyone to play nice nice and do what he says. I now ave the key to actually making the wasteland a better place (something my character wanted).
I'm willing to overthrow House to make that happen, and as my good decisions showed, I genuinely did help the wasteland. This is a wasteland, and not everyone plays by the rules. House can't expect to be able to be underhanded but not have the same happen in return.
I was willing to negotiate; he was not.

Each major faction has a different idea of what that means. All going independent does is ensure that every faction outside of Vegas is going to collapse into war in a year or two.
House's deals with the NCR are cancelled, and your robots sure can't protect both Vegas and the Dam against their might, or the might of the Legion if you didn't fuck them up. Without House, you don't have his manufacturing capabilities or long term plans, or his firm grip over the families.
If House, NCR, or the Legion don't take the dam, the situation just gets worse.
>>333098867
NCR doesn't have the resources to be throwing shit at you for at least a few years, and the Legion is fucked.
Each faction can grow to respect you and you can influence them at least a bit. Otherwise, we don't know what the fuck happens over the next years after the endings.

If you aren't retarded, the securitrons under the fort will go on a murder spree and caesar is presumably dead.
Most NCR citizens and soldiers agree that they are overextending their reach, and if they decide to come back to vegas armed, their populations won't support it.
>>333098867
>Each major faction has a different idea of what that means. All going independent does is ensure that every faction outside of Vegas is going to collapse into war in a year or two.
wrong, especially if you wipe several of them out
>House's deals with the NCR are cancelled, and your robots sure can't protect both Vegas and the Dam against their might
yes they can, it's said several times in game that the NCR couldn't go up against the Courier's Vegas without fucking themselves over. Plus, the NCR only cancells their deals with the strip if you kill Oliver and Kimball
>or the might of the Legion if you didn't fuck them up
>not always fucking the Legion up to ensure the Mojave is free from Lanius and Caesar
>Without House, you don't have his manufacturing capabilities or long term plans
says fucking who? I have the power of Big MT behind me, I can do whatever the fuck I want
>or long term plans
if by long term plans, you mean leaving Earth, that's fucking stupid anyways. Anything House wanted other than that is easily possible through the Courier
>or his firm grip over the families
also completely wrong. You literally either wipe them all out or bring them all to your heel. Plus, House didn't have even close to a firm grip over any of the families before you showed up anyways
>If House, NCR, or the Legion don't take the dam, the situation just gets worse.
also completely wrong. What's the difference between you or House taking the dam? Nothing. The only difference is a badass wasteland jesus is giving the securitrons orders instead of a mummy. Also, Legion is objectively the worst choice, and if the NCR gets the dam, they only fuck over themselves and anyone affected by them in the long run by overexerting themselves and inevitably trying to grab more territory after success in Vegas
>>333098867
>or his firm grip over the families.
WHAT? Every damn family is running around behind the scenes doing awful shit.
This is Housefag level of delusion.
>No Gods, No Masters
>except me, guys
None of the Independent ending slides say the Courier takes over, just that they ensured no one took control of the Mojave
It's an ending for people who didn't want to pick a side or somehow fucked up and needed a fourth option so they could finish the game
It's not an ending where your god mode OC Donut Steel becomes the Best Ruler Who Ever Lived
Bought Fallout 4 recently, just found myself putting in another 100 hours in NV instead. Hated 4 too close to Borderlands but with less guns, less insanity and less feeling like a badass.
>>333100757
Not to mention that there's no reason the player can't do all the same things in the Independent ending in the House ending as well.
>>333100757
It's probably going to be the canon ending if Obsidian make another Fallout in the west. Was it Abalone who said the reason Ulysses nuked everything and the tunnellers became a thing was because it was getting too civilised?
>>333100757
No, it's the ending where anything can happen.
>Any chaos on the streets was ended, quickly. Chaos became uncertainty, then acceptance, with minimal loss of life. New Vegas assumed its position as an independent power in the Mojave.
>the Courier was recognized as the man/woman responsible for a truly free New Vegas
This doesn't say anything besides the fact New Vegas is now independent of any faction and the Courier was recognized as the one who did it.

He sends the Courier in to try it diplomatically. He could easily send in a bunch of securitrons and raze their casinos if he wanted. It's just easier to get them to bow than to have to rebuild.
It's not like there isn't any shortage of people who wouldn't jump at the chance to take over a casino in Vegas, even if it meant being House's bitch
>>333102742
House SHOULD be able to tell the families that they fucked up and to not try anything.
They don't give a flying fuck, don't fear him, and don't listen to him. They respect a literal fucking who more by the end of the quests.

Post this in every thread, but Fallout: New Vegas is the only game ever to have a meaningful faction system.

> Each faction has their own moral code
> Each faction has their own enemies
> All factions start off neutral to you and see you as just a guy
> Start off doing random merc shit for them or opportunistic work.
> Eventually get some recognition and some perks (speech abilities, people begin to talk about you)
> More important missions
> Othe faction sees you as a threat, starts considering you hostile/sending hit squads/locks you out of certain parts of the game
> Own faction gives you more perks (ability to call for troops)
> Eventually get the safe house
> Meet more important people
> Save the world with your faction, but no "You're the chosen one bullshit". Just a guy who worked their way up. At max, you were in the wrong place at the wrong time/right place at the right time for certain storylines (DLC's/House)
Top tier writing.
Getting back into fallout, probably siding NCR, Mods?
>>333102283
The whole point of the arrangement between House and the Families is that they are mostly independent of each other. When you ask House why he doesn't simply take the chip from Benny by using the securitrons, he says (other than Benny having leverage over the chip) that the other families would be much more cautious and unlikely to cooperate with him in the future. The Courier is a free agent who has personal business with Benny anyway, it's not hard to see why House would ask you to do this. As for the other families, House doesn't really care for what they do as long as it doesn't interfere with how he wants Vegas to be portrayed. He outlawed cannibalism for the White Gloves and for the most part they've held up their end if not for a rogue member. The same could be said for the Omertas who were planning a terrorist attack but a simple change in management is all is needed to be taken care of.
House cannot micromanage the families that work for him, not directly at least. So is it any surprise that he needs a human agent to do it for him?
>>333102910
House isn't a king, and they've never met him directly. Of course they'd respect the guy who showed up and helped them out, but that says nothing about if they'll be good business partners in the future.

>>333102910
There's no faction without someone getting uppity in it, it's the nature of people. Not to mention the people in the families respect you because each time you give them power on a platter without asking for anything in return.

My second play through of New Vegas was fun as hell, first play through I was a goodie two shoes energy weapon using power armor faggot.
But for my second play through I was an old alcoholic cowboy looking for cash. I screwed over everyone for the best deal and really fucked some people up.
I raped the Brotherhood to loot and sell all their shit, sold the Brotherhood follower to the cannibals and my favorite was shooting benny in the head and putting his head in the toilet as revenge.
I sided with House both Play throughs though, for the first one I thought he was the best option for everyone and for the my second I thought it would be easier to let him run everything whole he fed me money and alcohol to live in my cushy hotel room.

That's what I was responding to. And if I can get all the families to respect/fear men and actually make New Vegas a good place, why the fuck is the guy who can't do that in charge.
>>333103580
Uh, no? At least in the White Glove's case, you actually go out of your way to maintain the integrity of the club, and they respect you because you actually had the time to come out and talk to them instead of only talking to them when it comes to money transfers.
>>333103106
True, but this really only applies to NCR and Legion. Most other factions have one, two main quests, tops (Looking at you, Three Families).
Not saying NV doesn't have a lot of depth or variety, of course- hell, it's my favorite game- but for a lot of the factions you just run one or two missions and get to hang out in their clubhouse afterwards.
>>333104230
He calls it a firm grip because that's explicitly spelled out in the House epilogue.
> Mr. House continued to run New Vegas his way, a despotic vision of pre-War glory. The streets were orderly, efficient, cold.
But even if it wasn't, how is his relationship with the families a weakness if he has someone like the Courier to enforce it?
>And if I can get all the families to respect/fear men and actually make New Vegas a good place, why the fuck is the guy who can't do that in charge.
Nearly all the ways you assist New Vegas is by killing people or doing favors, their personal interactions with you are hardly a good assessment of your leadership skills. When you negotiate with a neighboring settlement, are you going to go kill their raiders for them too? Or are you implying because they respect you now, they'll do so forever?
>At least in the White Glove's case, you actually go out of your way to maintain the integrity of the club
The club which was set up by Mr. House. They were cannibals to start with and mostly abandoned it because of the benefits House gave them or he was that coercive.
>At least in the White Glove's case, you actually go out of your way to maintain the integrity of the club, and they respect you because you actually had the time to come out and talk to them instead of only talking to them when it comes to money transfers.
They literally recognize you as Mr. House's guest the moment you speak to Marjorie, unless your sequence skipping.
MOOOOOOBIUUSSSSSSSS
>>333105921
When you have to rely on someone to enforce it, that's pretty dangerous.
A good assessment of leadership is willingness to help, diplomacy (an option in a lot of quests) and a willingness to listen.
>sequence skipping
It's not skipping? I heard about it in my first playthrough after killing House (the first thing I did) and going to the casino out of interest, and it's certainly possible to do that before even meeting Benny as well. That's not skipping. You're not working for House at that moment; you only start working for him when you meet him and give him the chip.
>>333066953

>>333106313
>When you have to rely on someone to enforce it, that's pretty dangerous.
A player who has put House in power is loyal, since they would already have had every opportunity to dethrone him. As was stated earlier, the extra degree of separation is necessary for the families to remain loyal to House. If anything, it's more dangerous for the Families to try and undermine House while staying under the radar of both House and the Courier.
>A good assessment of leadership is willingness to help, diplomacy (an option in a lot of quests) and a willingness to listen.
And assuming you did those quests the "right" way, you're still some rando nobody in the eyes of the people you're helping, not the leader of the country. Those interactions won't be the same afterward, and the approaches to solving those problems wont be the same either.
>they respect you because you actually had the time to come out and talk to them instead of only talking to them when it comes to money transfers.
I admit I was wrong about the sequence skipping, but the White Gloves are the most elitist group in the Wasteland and only allow you to join if you're sponsored (have good strip rep). They respect you because you saved them from breaking their contract and losing a valuable business partner, not out of the kindness of their hearts.
>>333108513
And this business doesn't require House being in charge. The Courier can at least actively stop the families from doing awful shit.
>>333109064
What can the player do in the Independent ending that they couldn't do in the House ending?
>>333109234
Not have a maniacal grip over New Vegas for no reason?

Choose how they want to run vegas?
House is the more restrictive option
New Vegas is a wild horse with House steering it as smoothly as possible. Independent route is you fumbling like a retard to try keep her steady.
>>333110319
How? All he does is let the families run the Strip- that's it. The rest of New Vegas is destitute and House doesn't give a flying fuck. It's obvious there's problems in New Vegas just by talking to people.

Pick a side guy. House is too lax on his employees and they start scheming so he's unfit but when he actually does have a firm grasp it's wrong?
>>333109871
It depends if you think his authoritarian rule is a necessary evil for his plan to revitalize space travel. But even if you didn't, House was able to play off the NCR and Legion for years and is in the best position to milk them for as long as possible. You can't say the same for the Courier who can personally kill both the NCR President and its General. Not to mention the Courier is limited to a spectrum of being an idealist who wants to keep everyone happy or an anarchist who doesn't care about anyone. And that's not getting into whether he's upgraded the securitrons either.

No, it's worse than that. He has a firm grasp in the wrong places, and it's leading to people that are poor, living in holes, and not allowed to speak out about it. He's lax about the Families because he just doesn't care.
That's House's problem. He really doesn't care about anyone outside the Strip, and that's assuming he even actually cares about the Strip.
>Not to mention the Courier is limited to a spectrum of being an idealist who wants to keep everyone happy or an anarchist who doesn't care about anyone. And that's not getting into whether he's upgraded the securitrons either.
>I never read the dialogue: the post
No, the Courier can outright kill factions they think are detrimental (which I did, like the Fiends), try to bring factions under their heel nicely, or outright state during questlines they are doing what they want.

And this is different than in the Independent ending? Yeah it's unfair to the average citizen under his rule but they simply must not be a political threat. And again, there's no reason why the Courier cannot directly assist the people of New Vegas financially if he wanted to.
>He's lax about the Families because he just doesn't care.
He's lax about the families because he was the one who made them resemble his vision of Vegas. He doesn't care as long as they stick to their roles and don't undermine him. Benny was an outlier amongst the Tops, The Omertas got too greedy and needed to be shown their place, and the White Gloves were nearly sabotaged by one of their own. House wasn't unaware of these developments, he was just unable to deal with them directly.
>That's House's problem. He really doesn't care about anyone outside the Strip, and that's assuming he even actually cares about the Strip.
He goes on a 5 minute rant about how Vegas was precious to him, of course he fucking cares. He did his best to save the city from nuclear armageddon and he'll be damned before he hands it over to the NCR or Legion. If anything, it's amazing how he warms up to the player so quickly. Him keeping the Courier as his personal guest disagrees with your statement.

He cares about his precious prewar vision. He is the embodiment of 'let go' because New Vegas in reality is not anything like what he wants it to be. And it never will be.
>Supporting the ideals of independence, the Courier was recognized as the man/woman responsible for a truly free New Vegas.

>>333114467
>THEN WHY HAVE HOUSE IN CHARGE? WHAT DOES HE BRING TO THE TABLE?
He has a long term goal for the Mojave and humanity in general that extends beyond simply surviving off of the scraps of the old world. As a leader, he was able to manipulate two larger armies into fighting each other while he profited. He's able to calculate the best way for him to deal with both while maintaining viability for future relations. His handling of Vegas is the reason why people travel hundreds of miles to go gamble.
If anything, what does the Courier bring to the table? Unless your character is a Mary Sue with infinite money and weapons, then they're just simply using House's resources without his cognizance . And while that may be fine for the average citizen, New Vegas will just simply be another town with little potential to grow.
>He cares about his precious prewar vision. He is the embodiment of 'let go' because New Vegas in reality is not anything like what he wants it to be. And it never will be.
As a result of his obsession, he was almost entirely avert the nukes sent to the Mojave. He acquired a rocket building company and built a fort filled with his machines in preparation. Does he step on alot of people to get his way? Yeah, but the Courier is essentially doing the same and is hardly "letting go" by stealing House's assets and using it for the same purpose. All of the factions in the game are echoes of the past, should they "let go" too?
>That's literally just endgame snippets based on Karma. One can be anywhere in between there or completely not like those statements.
Which is why it's impossible to assume the Independent ending is any better because the motivations of the Courier is unknown. It has the potential to be good if you play your cards right, but also has potentially the worst ending for the Mojave.
And, as stated before, the fate of most factions are decided by the Courier. The Courier has a sizeable sphere of control in both endings.
