Number 11: if you see a path out of Goodsprings with KEEP OUT signs everywhere, and you ignore the warning, you’re going to F$ck around and find out!

Number 11. The House Always Wins.

One thing I wish I would have known before my first playthrough of New Vegas is that the route north of goodsprings is completely safe, and the game is just telling you it isn't, because people would get to New Vegas too quickly via Camp McCarran. The wildlife in that area is completely harmless.

This is super embarrassing for how long I’ve been playing this game, but I found out earlier this month that if you go to the strip, the credit check is to just see if you have 2000 caps, not that it costs 2000 to get inside. Can’t believe I thought that for as long as I did

My trick for avoiding being an enemy of the Powder Gangers is not killing them at the end of Ghost Town Gunfight. If you pass all skillchecks the townsfolk are so OP that they kill all bandits without your help. And you can even damage them but as long as you don't personally kill them you gain no infamy with them. You will gain some infamy for completing the quest but this only gets you to shunned. They don't like you but they aren't immediately hostile. You can still go to NCRCF and do quests for them.

For me on the last tip. I agree on not fighing the Powder Gangers. But for different reasons. Youre locked out of potential early game quests when youre hated by them. So most new players who helps the town never gets the experince of interacting with the Powder faction.

The room in Novac is the best place for storage, multiple containers and a literal safe. Also there is a bed in there and the place is in the central part of the map so you can easily be well rested at all times for +10% increase in XP

What is useful is to know which quests to hold off on before making the decision of which faction ending to have.

If you do ghost town gunfight wound don't kill. You'll get shunned instead of vilified and still be able to do quests for them if you want.

I used the room you get in Novac to store stuff since it has multiple containers, can organise better.

1:20 "I personally recommend dropping your items in this dumpster." Is this a joke? Dude is storing his items literally right next to a mailbox that would let him retrieve the items in multiple locations. Lmaoooo

Number 11.5: Be sure to install the '4gb memory usage' mod. FO:NV is a 32bit program. Thus it can only use 2gb of RAM/VRAM in total at a time. And with the all the cell buffering going on, and very few places that it purges the cell buffers itself; Makes the game very crash happy. Allowing it to use 4gb of RAM/VRAM with the mod, make the game a lot more stable.

Watching this even though I’ve got hundreds of hours in this game 😂

So, regarding Jury Rigging: Sure, it's great. I'm a habitual Jury Rigger myself. It's not the only option, though. Honestly, it's QoL if you want all your perks to really matter, 'cause a trash goblin has plenty of Repair Kits and Caps, and a Hustler gets by. All you have to know, is which Vendors that do full repairs. I'm not usually up for the grind, though, so like I said; I go for the Jury Rigging as well.

Good video :). Just so you know, the special dialogs for low Intelligence was also in the old Fallout 1 and 2, and Temple of Elemental Evil (which I think shared a few developers in common with New Vegas).

New vagus will always be a damn good game

Jury rigging is not strictly necessary as long as you keep scavenging scrap metal, scrap electronics, duct tape, wonderglue and wrenches to craft weapon repair kits. Granted, the scavenging playstyle can feel a little tedious for some, so Jury Rigging is there for convenience.

#2 don’t do that. Best two early game spots are Victors shack in good spring, and your room at Novac. I’ve had items disappear from dumpsters, learned that long ago 😂

I love being attacked by powder gangers early game. Lots of dynamite to use and sell for the first few levels before frag grenades start showing up.

I just finished my first play through and I actually used that dumpster you mention from the start. I didn't even realize some of the containers reset. The thing that makes that such a great location for a homebase is that you have the crafting benches, Chet to barter with, and Doc can fix you up for 50 caps. Doctors Bag cost more than 50 caps ( Maybe not with high Bartering skill?) and you probably can't make them yet ( again maybe with high Medicine skill?). It takes a while just to where you have all the right ingredients for doctors bags even if you have a high enough skill. Also, you can pick the Intense Training perk more than once. You can even pick the same stat more than once if you're so inclined. Edit: There's also a Mojave Express directly beside the dumpster. You can literally ship stuff directly to your storage area without needing to travel yourself. Allowing you to continue what you were doing without getting bogged down in the inventory management mini game. Encumbered? Not anymore. Deal with it later.

Number 2. Omg you are my savior! I never even thought to offload loot. I always just tried to sherpa my way through every playthrough. MY hero

Номер в Новаке намного лучше. Там можно раскидать вещи по категориям - Одежда - Шкаф, Сейф - оружие, Холодильник - Пища и Вода, Аптечка - Лекарства и т.п. В чемодан я кладу весь хлам на продажу и когда нужно купить что-то - полностью снимаю с себя всё, беру весь хлам и быстрыми перемещениями бегаю от торговца к торговцу. Потом вернувшись, я бегу с другова чемодана все свои вещи и я укомплектован как до похода к торговцам. Короче, намного удобнее, чем с мусорным баком.

Great help! Thank you very much!

I would go for the powder gangers in the beginning in Good springs for sure just to get the loot. If you stay shunned or better P gangers from other camps such as the NCR correctional facility will not attack you.

Thank you so much this Fr helped a lot

If you complete Ghost Town Gun Fight but you hang back and allow the Goodsprings settlers to do all of the fighting, you'll lose affinity with the Powder Gangers but not the same amount you'd lose if you partake in the fight yourself. You'll reach "shunned" status with them but not "vilified", meaning they won't open fire on you on sight. You can then go up to the correctional facility, do some quests for them and raise your reputation with them to a more neutral status.

The Powder Gangers make easy leveling up early in the game. Plus you become idolized in a town super early.

Love the Mr. Hultan link up 👉⭐️👈

Like if you store your gear in the hotel room at Novac

Very useful coverage. I started playing fallout for the first time on PC with fallout 3 recently. Great game. I'm 20 hours in. But once I finish this game, I'm thinking of starting fallout 4 or New Vegas next. I can't decide. But this video is greatly helpful for when I do decide to start to play Vegas.

Another thing to add about postponing Ghost Town Gunfight. If you go to the prison, you can get a series of small quests from the Powder Ganger leader Eddie called I Fought The Law. If you complete that quest, which gives you access to a few NPCs that you otherwise will never encounter, giving opportunities for dialogue checks and combat for more xp, by betraying Eddie to the NCR, you can then go back to Goodsprings for Ghost Town Gunfight with no penalty. You can further maximize xp gain by silently killing all the Powder Gangers in the prison before the NCR takes the prison back so you don’t end up competing with them for kills at the end of I Fought The Law.

In number 5, remnants power armor from arcades quest is not faction armor in the game, unlike brotherhood armor that marks you as a brotherhood of steel member.

You can drink water from any source continously by holding E button long enough.

Good tip put points into Endurance shits so important it’s not even a joke

lol, ive always used the dumpster in goodsprings to store my crap.. its just convenient because there is a reload bench and workbench on the other side

So far I've been pretty meticulous about my faction armors bit actually the glitch happened where is didn't register taking off the armor so like major of npcs were instantly hostile on site. The fix I read that worked for me was take off said faction armor on and off without swapping armors. Just took a bit cause I just didn't know which armor it was glitches on.

Holding tab activates a flashlight, got lost in vaults so many times before finding it out

My word of advice to new players is always do a blind play through of any fallout game you’re playing, and then on your second play through that will inevitably happen you can look up things.

The pip boy glitch was a nice thing to discover. 😂😂😂

I took Veronica to vault 3 the other day. She says her dialog while traveling, she doesn’t initiate the conversation screen. She said her dialog on her own then after she started talking at me to start her mission

Also, when you're willing to part ways with the companions (if you have one) and you already unlocked the Lucky 38 presidential suit, never send them there, they will lose any gear or equipment you gave them (to store or to actually equip them)

I always use the mailbox outside Doc's house in Goodsprings, personally.

Jury Rigging is nice but not necessary, 50 repair is the minimum for crafting weapon repair kits and they can carry you through high drain ammo and weapons. Of course without mods there are no Armor Repair Kits, which is where jury Rigging will be very helpful. Especially if you want to use power armor since they're expensive and rare Edit: also forgot you can buy infinite weapon repair kits from the sierra Madre machine after Dead Money

When assassians come after you if you equip a set of legion armor then an ncr ranger troop spawns and attacks you even with amazing standing with ncr. I was caught off guard and didnt have time to travel so i equip the legion armor to try to blend in. All of a sudden ncr rangers came after a bounty on my head.

As a fallout veteran I love that people are finding and playing new Vegas really warms my little heart

Don't forget about crafting. You can for example turn one energy weapon ammunition type into another. Just like that, without any items.

Gas station in good springs has a safe and tons of storage spots too.

If you don’t wanna store all your stuff in a literal dumpster, there’s another storage I like to use in Goodsprings, Doc Mitchell’s bedroom wardrobe. Idk why I picked that specifically but I’ve done it so many times it’s like a tradition in my runs

I always visit Primm first to start the quest for the town to get a new sheriff, before I start my assault on the Powder Gangers. That way, I can safely enter the prison to recruit the human sheriff dude. (I've never been a Primm Slim kinda guy lol.) Then, I go back and help the town lay waste to Cobb and the rest. Again, not that the dynamite-chuckers are necessarily difficult to defeat, but it makes it a lot easier. Just my own approach.

Jury Rigging becomes obsolete if you use the pickpocket trick on Raul in his shack, and you have enough caps to cover repairs.

Few things to note charisma is pointless just level up barter and speech, intelligence and perception are the bigger stats you want to focus on. If you play on console be careful it’s very buggy and only really worth it for the dlc. Play on PC if you can, this game really benefits from mods. The dlc should only be played at certain levels. Also fyi the game at times tends to be a left stick simulator.

One thing that pulls me out is that its been like 250 years yet it looks like the place was just nuked.

The Apartment safe in NOVAC is a much better place to drop your gear IMO, just a better overall location, only thing it doesn't have is a reloading bench.

Use mercenary grenade rifle to get past the cazadors north of Goodsprings. Save before you approach the burnt out town.

Just installed the game, I’m literally about to do the goodsprings fight. If I choose to wait what do I even do in the meantime? Go to the place with the roller coaster?

Haha I killed all the powder hangers in the prison base. I was level 3 with a heavy armor I found in Primm.

Should big Dan do a shirtless reveal? 1 like = 1 Amen

Arcade Gannon is not that simple, special dialogues about high tech places just give you notes about his past, but don't give you history points, dialogues about Followers of apocalypse and Ceasar - do.

I just put my items in the bin at the gun runners. Very good with the sierra madre gold becouse there is a vendor right there.

The tips are great but if you know too much before you start it can ruin the experience. Going in blind and figuring it out the hard way is more rewarding than just coping what someone else does

I take the empty house right across from the saloon in good springs

Bros just gave out the location of my secret base telling everyone about the dumpsters lol

Funny.. for me Veronica did that without me knowing it was supposed to happen

What i do is lean in on the buggy-ness. Doing xp glitches? Fine with me. Going through the game with a 9m pistol and 22,000 bullets? Something I’ve done

I mean using intense training perks is absolutely improing your SPECIAL by leveling up, the exact opposite of what you claimed.

Repair is definitely a priority every run through. It’s also before they turn the VAT system into the shit hole it is now so max luck is extremely OP like 1/8 shots is a crit hit.

Recommending new players to not do Ghost Town Gunfight is insanity. It literally defines what new vegas is all about.

How do I get new traits ? Like skilled and other stuff

I always learn something new in your videos. Reinstalling NV right now.

4:45 Dan you forgot to mention that the implants do not work for Perk requirements. For example, if you have 7 STR and increase to 8 through the implants, you wont be able to take a perk that demands 8 STR, only intense training will work that way. I discovered this when I took an implant to increase my AGL to 6 for the Sniper perk, but it didnt work with the Implant, then I took Intense training and it did. The implants will work for Speech Checks, Weapon Requirements and Enviroment Interactions, but not for Perk Requirements.

It doesnt tell yiu that yiu can add Victor the robot to your militia to fight the powder gangsrs. Thanks for the heads up to wait, because I'm only lvl 3. The shovel is sold in goodsprings. Go dig up graves!

I’m playing this and streaming it currently and had a hell of a time navigating through Dead Money’s first act. It’s a damn labyrinth

Jurryrigging is so underated

10 - Understandable yet shameful that the games released after got rid of this, I think. 9 - Brings into mind your Megaton house in FO3. 8 - A hassle, but not one that frustrates if one gets acclimatized. 7 - Speaking of that Veronica bit, I really fear for New Vegas getting a big official fix nowadays. We don't want another Fallout 4 debacle. 6 - And even then, can your stats comfortably wear the stuff? 5 - A far cry from the previous games too. 4 - Like playing as the Malkavians in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. 3 - Do be careful in case the books occasionally get bugged and not show up, or are just blown away to somewhere you don't know. 2 - Veterans who've read the first two games' manuals will know this by heart and mind. 1 - It also properly showcases the needed pragmatism and nuance of the Western Seaboard compared to the Eastern Seaboard of 3 and 4. Really good introduction to the game and what it is about, if you know what you're doing.

I will never play Fallout New Vegas again, but sure. Why not watch this video.

I don't think that a lot of new players know where to find the Holy Frag Grenades.

5:06 cyberpunk2077 ahh shid😂

Tip for you : clicking left mouse button in dialogue will skip it

i killed everyone inside the gold rush area i never got the dialogue or nothing lol

i SWEAR I thought i invented that dumpster for storage wheres that tip originate please!?

there is a suitcase in an rv next to goodspring source with a bed a bonfire and a fresh water source always my first house

In mid game and with a decent sneak, Harper's shack is the best for storage. Lots of containers that don't respawn AND all of the crafting stuff is there. Just save before quick travel to it. Sometimes a deathclaw will be there.

Why use the dumpster at goodsprings when you can just use Victor's house? Lmao Do people not know you can use that as a player home?

I always end up having evry useful items in the game, more then I need so I don't have reason to collect more 😢.

What would have been useful to know was the fact that they were gonna destroy the NCR in the tv show, making the entire ending for them pointless

Or side with joe cobb

4:53 that's literally a lie.

Great vid except you spoiled arcade gannons quest

Number 12. Have a minimum of 7 on Luck

This video is about 14 years late lol

Jury rigging is a crutch! And I play on very hard + hard core, with mods that fix exploits!

The recent mainstream popularity of Fallout has Dan using modern lingo and it feels a bit "Hello Fellow Kids" for me.

Udina

Am I the only one revisiting Fallout 3? Lol

Intelligence is overrated. You can max out all the skills you need with relatively low intelligence and you don't even need to take education or comprehension, although if you do, you won't need to find as many skill books.

Nr. 11 or 12 don't take Boone as your companion if you travel through legion territory. Boone hates the Legion and will shot them on sight. Ruining your reputation and make them attack you on sight.

GOLD Tip... Use mods (vivanewvegas mod guide) or you will not have a good time... lol

Just wish it was playable on PC because it's def not playable. Is it playable on series X?

Only good thing in fallout 4 is shooting and graphics, new vegas is just superior

Number 11 mod it so that items don't degrade
