My take on human Dean Domino

Based on his photos when he was human, and the singers he is a reference to

I always tell myself, I'll kill him this playthrough but never do it, he's just too funny to me

Fallout New Vegas: How good does hand-to-hand combat feels.

• Viability 5 (Is it a struggle compared to your other options?):

This game perks and gears cover all your bases, pick your preferred weapon (any will do, seriously), rank your unarmed skill and upgrade your endurance stat, be sure to grab Slayer and Super Slam! (throw in a rushing water on top for good measure) and you turn basically into Kenshiro, if you manage to get close they are already dead, i would say that's the core for any unarmed build, and it's pretty modest too, so you can spend the rest of the levels and perk points at your leisure.

• Variety 5 (How many ways you can play it?):

You have about 40 different options for weapons (some are uniques of course), my personal favorites are "Love and Hate", "Super Heated Saturnite Fist", "Two Step Goodbye" and "Greased Lightning" (shoutout to the GRA variant of the Power Fist and Pushy). The moveset is really cool, you can learn all these moves from the different factions you came across, from the ranger takedown (a sweep that knock down enemies), the Scribe Counter (parry), Legion Assault (a powerful leap attack forward that knockback foes) and the Khan Trick (YEAH, THROW SOME DIRT IN THEIR EYES!), be sure to get all of them moves before angering any of them.

• Recommend 5 (How much did i personally enjoy it!):

This game is not very difficult, even on very hard (with hardcore mode on) the leveling system is pretty generous, the gear and perks is pretty overpowered so you could literally finish it without firing a single bullet, it's incredible how this 15 year old game still does it better than most of what comes today when it comes to punching things (and yes, it puts Fallout 4 to shame on that regard).

General question around game balance, do you think using sprint mods makes combat easier?

I don't remember the video that I watched, but this guy brought up how sprinting can fuck with game balance with making closing the distance in melee trivial because you can rush the enemy without worrying about tanking too much damage, and being able to sprint away from melee attacks whereas you'd have to block or take the hit without mods.

Not to mention, the most popular sprint mods, to my knowledge, don't count in armor weight for when you are sprinting. Making armor weight penalties negligible at best.

And I think there are a few perks anyways that are supposed to help with travelling faster.

Not trying to be a purist, just wanting to get some opinions

I discovered this place by accident and I wish I didn't...

Nothing worse than accidentally stumbling into deathclaw territory I swear...

And this is also my melee weapons playthrough so basically all I did was poke one of 'em varmints in the back with one of my throwing spears. Basically the equivalent of tossing a rock into a pit to see how far it falls before you hear it hitting the ground.

I'm just glad I had the high ground here. Down there, it would be a much more different story...

An unexpected meeting

Never thought I'd run into this guy again. Between Primm Pass and Ranger Station Charlie.

FNV has a more diverse landscape than Fallout 3.

I think the Mojave's locations are more different from each other, than the Capital Wasteland's locations. The Capital Wasteland can feel samey, while this is also true for the Mojave somewhat, you can go to, let's say Vegas. Then go to Black Mountain, or Camp Forlorn Hope, or Goodsprings. They are different. But what do you think?

Help me find another way

Fallout New Vegas is a TOP 3 GAME of all time for me. I do a replay every 1-2 years.

Every game I end up playing my "Stealth Archer" version of the game. High luck, high crit, guns, independent NV, good karma.

What playstyle is so good, it'll break me of my habit?

Lonesome Road- I did not expect to hate this DLC

No towns, everything is a ruin, nothing particularly cool looking- set piece

It looked very jumbled together, navigation was annoying due to how random it all looked

Ulysses is annoying, its my fault?!? Tf?!? Why?!?

His monologues are loooong and I felt like he never had a good point so I was never intent on listening to him explain why I am so wrong and bad

Deathclaw one shot- sure yeah fine, lookin forward to the thrill(no really i thought they were fun)

Tunnelers are wayyy more trouble than they should be imo, and pop up from nowhere, and there are a lot🙄

I was level 43 with pretty maxed armor and traits

I wanted to love it but woof, couldnt wait to end it

The other dlcs are farrrrrr superior

Each one has a cool place, tone, this just felt garbled and mashed together

Edit: it wasnt overly hard; I just found it tedious and not fun

I've translated the maps of Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas into GTA San Andreas

For some time I've been comparing West Coast Fallout games geographically to GTA SA, and there are a lot of things in common. Heres a small list of names in Real Life, Fallout and GTA with some notes.

Big Cities:

Los Angeles = Boneyard = Los Santos, The city you start in, in both Fallout and GTASA, interestingly enough both Fallout TV show and GTA 5 brings us back here.

San Francisco = San Fierro, second game and second island you unlock in GTA, fun fact, GTA also has a parody of the Scientology movement in form of Epsilon in GTA5, similar to Hubologists.

Las Vegas = New Vegas = Las Venturas, 3rd island and 3rd installment on the West Coast, this place was the worst, I've had to bend the map a lot and in GTA the Hoover Dam (Sherman Dam) is streches between California and Nevada so yeah. Not that good in GTA lore so I'm sure you guys can come up with some interesting parallels.

Smaller locations:

Bakersfield = Necropolis = Palomino Creek, somehow, the reality bending properties of Necropolis placed it perfectly where PC is in GTA, despite neither being anywhere near Bakersfield. I'm sure the Enclave is behind this or something idk.

Carson City/Reno = New Reno = Fort Carson, I've had to cheat here a little bit, Carson isn't shown in Fallout and Reno isn't shown in GTA, but they are so close to one another that I've decided to treat them as one, also New Reno mentioned!!!

Lost Hills = Lost Hills (Brotherhood) = Blueberry, here the spacetime bending does its job again, while Lost Hills are a real place, the Fallout location isn't exactly near where it is irl, and so it landed in Blueberry which is based on both Santa Maria and Bakersfield again. Well, a happy little accident.

Goodsprings = Goodsprings = Las Payasadas, chicken.

Barstow = The Hub = ?, yeah I've got nothing for this one but the Hub decided to tag along for the ride so here it is.

So yeah, I haven't played GTA SA in a while so some stuff might be flying over my head here, but I hope you enjoy anyways!
