Initial concept so far, my goal is to have some GPT wrapper and animate the mouth when using live chat mode

1. Do NOT use fast firing weapons (semiautomatic/automatic), which greatly benefit from a high critical rate. When luck is low, you can't access critical rate improving perks as well. So forget about critical rate forever.

2. Your gambling activities are limited strictly to Caravan. This means that you need to know how to play Caravan. Unlike blackjack at casinos, you can play with Ambassador Crocker and No-Bark unlimited amount of times. You win, travel to a different area, wait 72 hours and come back to play again. Crocker and No-Bark are good to play with because their bets are around 1000 caps.

***************************

BONUS: My highly successful strategy in Caravan against the game's AIs (if you could master it):

- Six 6s, six 7s, six 8s, six 9s, six 10s.

- Six jacks.

- Two queens.

- Eight kings.

Winning combinations of placed cards in each one of the three lanes must add up to minimum 21 and maximum 26 to win the lane. To end the game, you must have a winning combination that is greater than your opponent in the SAME lane in two to three out of three lanes. All lanes must be won by someone to end the game.

Example 1:

Opponent: win / lose/ lose

******You: lose / win / win

Result: you win

Example 2:

Opponent: lose / lose / lose

******You: win / win / win

Result: you win

Example 3:

Opponent: win / lose / win

******you: lose / win / lose

Result: you lose

So if you see your opponent winning on the first and third lanes, for example, don't win the middle lane because that would end the game in your opponents favor. Below I will teach you how you can sabotage with the jack and the king if your opponent won two lanes. You would only have to sabotage one of them to guarantee you are winning two out of three lanes to end the game in your favor.

1. 26 combinations in the order written:

- 6/6/7/7 (since you can't put two 6s consecutively, you use two kings, one for the 6 and one for the 7)

- 8/9/9 (again a king for the 9 to double it)

- 9/9/8

- 10/9/7

- 7/9/10

- 10/10/6 (king for the 10)

- 6/10/10

1. 25 combinations:

- 10/8/7

- 7/8/10

- 10/9/6

- 6/9/10

- 8/8/7 (king for the 8)

- 9/9/7 (king for the 9)

1. Similar stuff for 24, 23, 22, 21 assuming your opponent's net total in that lane is not higher. You don't have to aim for 25 and 26 unless you have the cards in your hand. The good thing about the numbered cards 6, 7, 8 ,9, 10 is that most in order combinations add up between 21 and 26. Only one will overshoot (e.g. 10/9/8 = 27).

2. Use of Queen is mainly useful in reversing the order of two cards. Say you have 6 then 7. Then next card can only be 8, 9 or 10 (face cards don't answer to these rules). Let's say you want to reverse the order from increasing to decreasing, so you can add another 6 because it's the only thing you have in your hand. It would look like this 6/7/queen/6. Order been reversed.

3. Sabotage 👹👹👹:

- Jack: say your opponent is about to win a second lane or has won the second lane using 9/7/8 = 24. You place the jack on his 9 and it gets discarded. Now they only have in the lane 7/8.

- King (ultimate destruction of the entire lane mowahaha 😈): Your opponent has 10/king/6 = 26. You add another king to the 10. So 10/king/king/6 = 46. The entire lane is now garbage and they will have to discard the whole lane.

- Queen (complex use): You can sabotage your opponent using Queen if the last two cards in their lane is, let's say, ...3/4. They would want to put a big number if they are close to the winning combination. If you put the Queen on top of the 4, they can only put top of the queened 4, a 3, 2 or ace.

Final note: to beat non-AI good players, you would probably need the joker. But for the FN Caravn AI's, this strategy is enough for 95% winning rate. And practice makes perfect. I played 100 times and only lost 5 times (those 5 times I was drunk on a weekend lol).

The whole point of the quest is to strike fear into a Legion captive, it was the perfect place for some dialogue with the perk 😭

This week

I believe Oliver isn’t actually that bad of a general. Most critiques of him are out of his control or false.

1. For instance he actually does reinforce his flanks.
   In 2281 he sets up Ranger Station Echo, Camp Guardian, and Nelson all to reinforce his flanks.

Unfortunately Nelson and Camp Guardian are immediately destroyed.

He also diverts men from the prison to patrol the river. This does result in a bad outcome, but with Oliver’s intent to reinforce the river you can not say he didn’t attempt to reinforce his flanks.

1. Oliver isn’t supplying his outposts. This isn’t exactly the case. The supply situation is already terrible, but he does try to fix it as mentioned here.

“McCarran has requested more frequent supply runs to their outlying outposts.” - Crimson Caravan Terminal

These supply issues are also entirely out of his control.
- the NCR sharecropper farms output is dropping due to irradiated water
- New Canaan has been destroyed
-NCR caravans are also being slaughtered by the Crimson Caravan and Van Graffs
-when Oliver does supply his outposts the legion interdicts the supplies. For instance at Forlorn Hope supplies diverted from Helios are taken by the legion. And supplies diverted to Searchlight are also taken by Frumentari.
-Supplies are also stolen by NCR personnel. For instance Private Stone and Contreras are stealing vital supplies.

1. Oliver is acting on the intelligence he has. We have the ability to know everything since we play the game.

Oliver is already getting bad intelligence from Hanlon and his map of the Mojave is very different from the situation.

For example he has no idea Ranger Station Charlie, Nipton, and Camp Guardian are gone.

That’s a whole town and two NCR military bases that he still thinks exist due to lack of intel.

1. His strategy at the Dam is however bad, but the situation is also quite bad I do not think many generals could withstand the Rube Goldberg machine plan the legion has at the second battle of Hoover Dam

​

Now I gotta start a new fnv playthrough. Wish me luck, gonna try hardcore for the first time. Would welcome any tips or advice 😅

Hey everyone, thanks for checking it out. Wanted to share my NCR cosplay art. I've been working on this for 3 months, but it's not done yet.

What do you think about it?

P.S. Wish Bethesda and Amazon would add this to the series.

I'm not talking about major overhauls that were cut very early in production (eg Legion settlements East of the river). That'd be great, but I don't think it's realistic. I mean the plethora of small quests/NPCs that were cut last minute because they ran out of time but were already 90% done. There are already a number of mods out there that put them back into the game.

By The Road, I mean Cormac McCarthy's novel. Personally, I think New Vegas is a great fit for that kind of atmosphere, especially since Lonesome Road is (at least in my opinion) a pretty unsettling experience on its own. I should also mention that I'm asking because I'd like to make the game more challenging.

I’m a “soft-hearted devil” rep with the NCR and decided to betray president Kimball. After also installing the Override Chip I chose to start the Hoover Dam battle with Yes Man.

He teleported me to Hoover Dam with no mission, no objective nothing?? I can waypoint back to the Lucky 38, but can’t move to the Penthouse with the elevator?

Rlly strange. How to fix this?

It was the most annoying part through all the playthrough. I barely care about the graphics, I just wish they will improve this aspects of the game that really show age

You don't get any reward or acknowledgment outside of this dialogue, and Norton and his men never leave if you do things this way, so there's no real reason to. That, and Marcus is a bro.

​

Been playing for a while never got far and recently got back into it

Im at the stage of for the republic 2 and no where with house quests and the BOS patrol quest

I was doing the repconn patrol quest and got jumped by legion assasins IM LEVEL 13 WHY ARE YOU SO STRONG

Does anyone know why they are so strong and knowledgeable any weapons to help me out

Ps I'm villified by the legion and liked by NCR (idk how that's useful )

Any help appreciated 👍

Hi there! I am planning to run a ttrpg game set before the 2nd battle of hoover dam and therefore I would love to have a map of the mojave as sort of background for my players!

Just get the legion dash power attack with punch and a bear trap fist, and you 1 shot them often and bring them to a sliver if you dont 1 shot them. (Assuming 100 unarmed)

Before anything

1. I already did Talent Pool SEVERAL levels before now, there is zero way to reload the save

2. I cannot pickpocket or otherwise obtain the gun via illegal means, as the ACES Theater is full of several NPCs that will immediately spot and aggro on me

3. I already tried console commands, but Google keeps sending me in circles, and giving me false console commands, so if someone were to ACTUALLY HELP that would be AMAZING

Why am I not suprised

He really thought he was gonna survive, that bastard dog he is.

Haven't stitched his coat yet, but just wanted to know what you guys think, your opinion is greatly appreciated lol
