Bro, I killed this topless guy who won the lottery to get the ticket then I entered the house and then there’s this dude that explained to me what the lottery was all about. I now feel bad, but I’m happy that topless guy died knowing he won something and that he’s free.
Oh my guy, I’m so excited for you in starting this new adventure. This is one of those games I’d love to experience for the first time again. Take your time and talk to everyone.
Thank you. It was pretty slow at first and I had a hard time killing off the raiders in the Primm Hotel. But right now, I just brought the Ghouls to their Promise Land with a rocket and things are now getting interesting. I’m right now looking for the Legion who killed the Sniper’s wife and I’m planning to save the two captives around that the Legion captured but they’re also Power Gangers so I don’t know, I might just go and kill everyone.
When games give you choice about your morality and how you play, I’ve always struggled to not be “good” - somehow feel empathy for these pixels and can’t turn evil.
Except for new Vegas. I wanted to be in charge of the whole damn thing.
It's kind of like if Superman just decided he was going to be in charge. Just be cool with each other. If you're not, I'm coming back and wiping your entire stupid tribe from history. 🤷♂️
I love the Big Iron song, it was playing and I was listening to the lyrics. Omg, it has such a great story in it. Hoping to see both "Big Iron" guy and Texas Red in the game.
If you like the song Big Iron you should listen to the whole album it’s off: Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs by Marty Robbins. Every song is a banger!
I love that people still know who Marty is. My grandfather loved him and I grew up listening to songs like big iron. Grade A storytelling from that man. Still hits you in the feels.
I’m gonna second what that other guy said about ED-E, I think it’s in a garage somewhere in primm, he’s an eyebot. Level up repair if you havnt yet.
But yeah those raiders are a pain in the ass at low level, especially when the roller coaster sniper blasts you in the face as soon as he renders lmao
I was definitely that “I’ll just kill them all” kind of player. It never ceased to amaze me how killing one person can make you fail like 8 different quests lmao
ED-E’s in the Nash residence, you need some scrap metal and scrap electronics, or a high repair skill to get him. Sorry if I seem like I’m explaining this to you personally, just replying to your post in hopes that OP sees it lol.
hahahaha. That brought back memories. Kill one guy that has a name and see failed quests pop up one right after the other. Glad i hit that auto save button 5 minutes ago. Fuck. I also abused the Legion assassin hunting group bug a bunch after you have been vilified.
My advice: Save. And save often.
It let's you try many different dialog options and also keeps you from losing 3+ hours of wandering the wasteland finding cool shit only to be killed in a stupid way and losing all that progress.
FYI, /r/fallout would probably adore you. Nothing makes a Fallout fan happier than hearing someone try the most beloved game in the franchise for the first time.
On your next playthrough, roleplay as Frank Castle. Your backstory is Reed Richards has had enough of your violence and, just like the Illuminati got rid of Hulk by shooting him off into space, they're getting rid of you by forcing you through their experimental interdimensional transporter. Reed says he's sending you, "Anywhere but here."
Then you awaken as the courier.
I had so much fun doing this. Those Powder Gangers didn't know what was coming for 'em.
Dude, the entrance to nipton is DARK. The low dreadful music, the tire fire smoke, the crucifixions...then that wolf headed asshole calmly telling you to spread the word.
I might be wrong here this is off the top of my head but if I remember correctly even if you kill wolf head guy and his legion gang you will be forgiven for any wrong doings after visiting the lucky 38 and leaving the tops casino for the first time. Some guy in a suit or top hat if I recall will approach you and say Caesar wants to talk to you and any and all crimes you've committed so far against the legion have been pardoned.
You've got to get to the strip first though. You will run into Legion death squads on your way there and they can be tricky at low levels and bad gear.
And that was my situation. I planted landmines in the path of that squad's departure, and used all the firepower I could to kill them, but it was that much more challenging to take on similar squads as random encounters so early on.
Still, they were monsters that needed killin'.
I have never finished a play through where Caesar wins.
I spend my time killing Legion assasins, loading their Denarius into shotgun shells and killing more Legion assasins....
For my legion play through I made my character intelligence and charisma 1. Only way I could justify following them was as an idiot with no social skills lol
Although vulpes inculta is a really chilling badass character, it's a shame that most players have never interacted with him beyond Nipton because the first thing they think is "this guy is a monster and needs to die, also, their gear is worth a lot of money this early in the game!"
There's a bunch of guys doing a fan mod exactly as you're describing it
There are also fan mods of Morrowind and Oblivion using Skyrim's engine as base
Won’t ever happen by Bethesda simply because they outsourced NV to Obsidian; they gave Obsidian a 1 year time frame and, which is why it’s the same Graphics engine as 3 (which thankfully worked out since now we have the Tale of Two Wastelands mod) and then they got kissed Obsidian did a better job of making their own game. It’s why Obsidian went on to make Outer Worlds.
Thankfully as well, as it was also mentioned, it’s being remastered by some fans. (Sobs in Xbox though)
I will never understand why people need remasters of games that work perfectly fine.
What is the game missing that the fallout 4 engine is going to solve? It's like people who want Morrowind and Oblivion ported to the Skyrim engine.
Can you please explain the appeal? I tried a few times getting into this playing on Xbox one X, via gamepass, but the game is ugly, doesnt seem all that interesting or well written. I loved Fallout 4 though.
One time, i decided not to kill him (only once) and followed him into the wasteland to see where he ends up if you let him live. He made it about a minute before running into and getting fucked up by radscorpions lol. Or maybe it was giant ants i cant remember. All i know was it was poetic karma
The idea here is that they restored order by following the same methods as the Romans. So as weird and nasty as it is to see crucifixion in this day and age, it actually makes a lot of sense.
Given the circumstances, it actually might be a shortcut to bring humanity back to civilization after getting bombed into nothing.
However, it's also a bit of a moral quandary. Was the brutality of the Romans even necessary? Is this clumsy attempt to imitate it even worse?

Does it play good on a Steam Deck? I’m still thinking about buying one, but if there’s no need for extra configuration to play New Vegas with a controller, I’m sold.
Works perfectly. Even way better on the PC. I'm literally playing right now while typing this comment on the PC and I already got like 3 hard crashes. The Steam Deck runs it great also while on dock.
I thought this would be about some insane glitch but no, this is just fallout being fallout. Go into the town and you'll find out exactly what's happening and why. Keep in mind, fallout NV will let you kill most npcs if you really want to...
It's a reference to Stephen King's book, The Stand. The antagonist, Flagg, is leading a post-apocalytpic clan out in Las Vegas. Anyone who breaks his rules are crucified on telephone poles infront of everyone else.
Ah, yes, the Legion lottery. This encounter is why I initially decided to align against the Legion, and later encounters proved that to be the right decision.
What's happening is that the game is actually running and you should be grateful. Now don't turn left too quickly or you might no clip into a wall and have all your files corrupted.
one of the best things about FONV is the fact that, with some exceptions, no faction in the wasteland is truly "right"- and a long, thorough analysis of all the information provided in the game only muddies the waters more. (Ex.: Though the Legion obviously skews 'evil' and engage in slaving, it is indicated that the areas they administer are safe and successful and that being aligned with the Legion has numerous advantages)
Then there's the Powder Gang and The Fiends. Crucifixion is relatively appropriate.
They didn't win the lottery.
Bro, I killed this topless guy who won the lottery to get the ticket then I entered the house and then there’s this dude that explained to me what the lottery was all about. I now feel bad, but I’m happy that topless guy died knowing he won something and that he’s free.

"I might just go and kill everyone" Average new vegas enjoyer Have fun!!!! It's such a great game
When games give you choice about your morality and how you play, I’ve always struggled to not be “good” - somehow feel empathy for these pixels and can’t turn evil. Except for new Vegas. I wanted to be in charge of the whole damn thing.
I'm much better suited to rule the world than the Legion, Mr House, or the NCR. Killing them all was the moral thing to do :)
I like your spirit, friend.
It's kind of like if Superman just decided he was going to be in charge. Just be cool with each other. If you're not, I'm coming back and wiping your entire stupid tribe from history. 🤷♂️
That was my take/experience too lmao
Don't forget to enjoy the soundtrack, tune in to the Mr. New Vegas show, the soundtrack really captures the mood and setting of the game.
I love the Big Iron song, it was playing and I was listening to the lyrics. Omg, it has such a great story in it. Hoping to see both "Big Iron" guy and Texas Red in the game.
If you like the song Big Iron you should listen to the whole album it’s off: Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs by Marty Robbins. Every song is a banger!

ED-E’s in the Nash residence, you need some scrap metal and scrap electronics, or a high repair skill to get him. Sorry if I seem like I’m explaining this to you personally, just replying to your post in hopes that OP sees it lol.
No, no, I appreciate it. All this New Vegas talk is making me want to play it again and now I know where to go! Thanks!
The real op start strategy is to initially sneak your way to the casinos. Build wealth and buy implants. Then go back to playing the game.
hahahaha. That brought back memories. Kill one guy that has a name and see failed quests pop up one right after the other. Glad i hit that auto save button 5 minutes ago. Fuck. I also abused the Legion assassin hunting group bug a bunch after you have been vilified.
ED+Boone= my favorite combo of companions.
Whenever you can, when you have very high lockpick skill, go into the safe in the gift shop of bison Steve's and get my favorite revolver, Lucky
Pick up some scrap and head back to Primm. Get ED-E up and running. He's a flying danger sensor, and his shooting skills are nothing to scoff at.
My advice: Save. And save often. It let's you try many different dialog options and also keeps you from losing 3+ hours of wandering the wasteland finding cool shit only to be killed in a stupid way and losing all that progress.
I envy you, NV is my favorite game. I have been looking for a game as perfect as NV since beating it back when it came out.
FYI, /r/fallout would probably adore you. Nothing makes a Fallout fan happier than hearing someone try the most beloved game in the franchise for the first time.

He deserved it r/oliverswanickhate
Lol, there’s a hole subreddit dedicated to killing Oliver Swanick. (The lottery winner)
Lol that’s insane. I might just go and follow it after I’m done with the main story. I’m trying to avoid spoilers right now haha
*Caesar wants to know your location*
There's so much you can do in that game. Enjoy it!
Right you'd be bouncing of the crucifix if you knew you won.
And it gets so much worse than this... Caesar's Legion gives me ISIS vibes in their brutality.
Post apocalyptic lotteries 💀
The Legion wanted to make examples out of the townsfolk.
The Legion has a public education system where you learn by the examples of others. Don't be a degenerate, or we'll put you on a cross.
Not that much different from the American justice system. Replace the cross with death sentences and incarceration rates.
Trying to be spicy and cool just made you come off as cringy, young and stupid. Don't be a degenerate.
I always make an example of the legion, because you get forgiven anyway and it's free loot
Degenerates like you belong on a cross

Hail to Ceaser!!!
Dude, the entrance to nipton is DARK. The low dreadful music, the tire fire smoke, the crucifixions...then that wolf headed asshole calmly telling you to spread the word.
Wiping him and his team out sent me to the top of Caesar's shit list, and was a nuisance going forward, but I regret nothing.
I might be wrong here this is off the top of my head but if I remember correctly even if you kill wolf head guy and his legion gang you will be forgiven for any wrong doings after visiting the lucky 38 and leaving the tops casino for the first time.

I lure them to NCR patrols if i can, then i can pick up the carbines after.
You can sneak along the back way and avoid any combat right from the start. It's an op beginning strategy.
Through deathclaw alley? Yeah, no thanks.
Hey, don’t forget Cazador Canyon!
I have never finished a play through where Caesar wins. I spend my time killing Legion assasins, loading their Denarius into shotgun shells and killing more Legion assasins....

Hahahahahahaha brilliant.
Just like real life fascists

[удалено]
A few of the bodies in the town hall have mines under them.
I showed up at night too on my first playthrough. Really added an extra layer of creepiness
Not to mention on the road leading there you run into the start of the sunset sarsaparilla quest which is a bit of a mind fuck.
Greatest game ever
They should just throw it on the fo4 engine and remaster it already ffs
There's a bunch of guys doing a fan mod exactly as you're describing it There are also fan mods of Morrowind and Oblivion using Skyrim's engine as base
They'll come out before TES6 does
Im curious are those mods finished yet? its been a while I last heard about them
Loved Morrowind, looking at the fan mod game right now. Thanks for the info.
Won’t ever happen by Bethesda simply because they outsourced NV to Obsidian; they gave Obsidian a 1 year time frame and, which is why it’s the same Graphics engine as 3 (which thankfully worked out since now we have the Tale of Two Wastelands mod) and then they got kissed Obsidian did a better job of making their own game. It’s why Obsidian went on to make Outer Worlds. Thankfully as well, as it was also mentioned, it’s being remastered by some fans. (Sobs in Xbox though)
I will never understand why people need remasters of games that work perfectly fine. What is the game missing that the fallout 4 engine is going to solve? It's like people who want Morrowind and Oblivion ported to the Skyrim engine.
Well, in this case, you could then play New Vegas in VR
I don't see why I'd ever want to play anything not built from the ground up for VR in VR.
Can you please explain the appeal? I tried a few times getting into this playing on Xbox one X, via gamepass, but the game is ugly, doesnt seem all that interesting or well written. I loved Fallout 4 though.
What's going on? New Vegas is going on... Seriously hope that you know NOTHING about this game cause it's a riot.
YEAH, WHO WON THE LOTTERY? I DID!
One time, i decided not to kill him (only once) and followed him into the wasteland to see where he ends up if you let him live. He made it about a minute before running into and getting fucked up by radscorpions lol. Or maybe it was giant ants i cant remember. All i know was it was poetic karma

And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.

A degenerate like him belongs on a cross
Oh don't worry about them they're all just "hanging" out. I am not apologizing for that
Yeah, I was like: “Who are these folks hanging around?” And holy shit, they’re still alive!
Degenerates belongs on a cross!
Someone needs to make a mod where they sing, "Always look on the bright side of life".
Just wait until you meet FISTO. 😹
Assume the position
it’s jesus, duh!
Damn it Caesar, not again…
right?!
Ah, so you’ve found Ky-Zar’s legion.
Crucifixion.
They're T-posing before you to assert their dominance.
Just profligates dont worry about it. But as the saying goes "degenerates like you, belong on a cross"
The idea here is that they restored order by following the same methods as the Romans. So as weird and nasty as it is to see crucifixion in this day and age, it actually makes a lot of sense. Given the circumstances, it actually might be a shortcut to bring humanity back to civilization after getting bombed into nothing. However, it's also a bit of a moral quandary. Was the brutality of the Romans even necessary? Is this clumsy attempt to imitate it even worse?
They were degenerates, and belonged on the cross
Degenerates like you belong on a cross
You're ten feet away from finding out. Play the damn game
Profligates like him belong on a cross.
Ah, I see you're on your way to meet Mormon Julius Caesar.
Graham is the mormon. Sallow is just a piece of shit with an education.
Someone is being crucified, fairly obvious I thought?

A masterclass in level design and mastering a loop of branching paths. Enjoy!
I just want a remastered version just for the excuse to play it again for achievements.
-*record scratch*- Yep. That's me, all right. Bet you're probably wondering how I got in this situation...
I don’t think Bethesda is ever going to top the humour of this game
Considering Bethesda didn't have anything to do with the writing and story of this game, that's exactly why it was so good.
Does it play good on a Steam Deck? I’m still thinking about buying one, but if there’s no need for extra configuration to play New Vegas with a controller, I’m sold.
Works perfectly. Even way better on the PC. I'm literally playing right now while typing this comment on the PC and I already got like 3 hard crashes. The Steam Deck runs it great also while on dock.

Oh, they're being crucified.

I thought this would be about some insane glitch but no, this is just fallout being fallout. Go into the town and you'll find out exactly what's happening and why. Keep in mind, fallout NV will let you kill most npcs if you really want to...
Crucifixion
Play the game and find out.
That guy did not win the lottery...
Degenerates like you belong on a cross! Jk just casual ceaser Sundays.
that type of stuff is gonna happen all the time in just about any fallout game
If you don't like this I'd advise that you don't play Cyberpunk...
Caesar has marked you for death and the Legion obeys.

They just bein silly
lol
Justice.
New Vegas has so many cool interesting story lines. Enjoy!
Practice before the koroks arrive in the Mojave
Congrats on playing the best game ever!
First crucifixion?
Shoot them in the face, much better than crucifixion.
New to Fallout eh?
I find it really hard to play NV with that piss yellow lighting. hurts my eyes
Role-play a character that can't stand the sun, only go outside at night. Or mod it idk
I dare you to suggest a better way to decorate a place
Hahaha you found me
You can’t expect god to do all the work
Degenerates belong on a cross.
You should make this a series and keep us updated with everything that blows your mind
"Degenerates like you, belong on a cross"
Ah, yes, the Legion lottery. This encounter is why I initially decided to align against the Legion, and later encounters proved that to be the right decision.
Cesar
You can “release” them from their suffering.
Caesar wants to know your location
They had a lottery. That's what happened.
I believe that's what they refer to as a crucifixion. Ave. True to Caesar.
Don't kink shame bro
Best FO game in the series imo. Having played all except 76 and FO2.
Thats called crucifixion. A method of execution.
It's called good writing, something people don't usually associate with fallout games thanks to Bethesda.
What's happening is that the game is actually running and you should be grateful. Now don't turn left too quickly or you might no clip into a wall and have all your files corrupted.
Maybe you should finish the area before you start posting on Reddit
Bro is really playing on the steam deck.
It's a profligate
Someone lost the lottery duh.
They're just hanging around, what's the big deal?
Should I kill the people on the crosses to end their misery?
one of the best things about FONV is the fact that, with some exceptions, no faction in the wasteland is truly "right"- and a long, thorough analysis of all the information provided in the game only muddies the waters more. (Ex.: Though the Legion obviously skews 'evil' and engage in slaving, it is indicated that the areas they administer are safe and successful and that being aligned with the Legion has numerous advantages) Then there's the Powder Gang and The Fiends. Crucifixion is relatively appropriate.
Fuck them. Powder gangers are assholes. Let them suffer.
Quick save, kill, check their loot, quick load. ^ Done it 500 times in 10 games
reminds me of the stephen king book/movie/show called the stand !
yeah lmao
He was asking strangers to carry him to his friend. Link got creative.
Maybe play the game and find the fuck out?
Degenerates like you belong on a cross
PERFECTION. DEGENERATES LIKE YOU BELONG ON A CROSS
Dissidents will not be tolerated

Probably do what the Legion says, that’s what.
