VATS is also really handy to 'scan' areas. Like when you were running up to the Blue Star bottlecaps guy, trying to see if he was friendly or not, you can use VATS to check that from a safe distance.

The Legion Assassins at your current level are basically a death sentence. Best offense is to run away like a Mofo - try to kite them somewhere that can give you backup.

20:47 Unfortunately, Sunny Smiles is required for this quest, though someone should mod it so she isn't, because she isn't really necessary you can handle it on your own. But because of her death with the geckos Ringo is unwilling to take on the powder gangers.(The lack of dialogue explaining that is disappointing though, I didn't even realize why there was no option originally as Sunny has never died on my game. The mod pack you have needs more balance for new players, as few will know to babysit sunny and her dog with the geckos. But yeah, her death is why that quest is broken.(Which is sad because it is a neat quest that gives you a chance to use your different skills like medicine and speech, disappointed.(Not in you, but in the game for not having alternative paths and in the mod for making Sunny far too squishy, she clears these geckos out for a living so should be able to survive.)

51:27 The modlist makes it the same as Fallout 4: you need to be sitting in a chair to access Wait feature. 1:01:26 Your skills are more relevant than how good you are at playing shooters. There should be blurriness, because your character doesn't have the minimum requirement to use the weapon correctly. But that effect is tuned with 75 FOV and you keep changing it to 100, so it is not working as intended. 1:04:58 If the item has the $ icon, pick it. Bottlecaps are not the only currency in Fallout New Vegas: you have the NCR dollars (100 Dollars = 40 caps) and the Legion coins. In some places the pre-war dollars are worth a lot, but normally are less than one bottlecap. Still, keep them for when you can use them. You can convert the faction currencies in The Strip to caps, or use the currency itself (in the misc tab) for trade. 1:05:41 Karma is different than faction reputation. You lose karma with God because stealing is bad. Even if the owner has worse karma than you xD 1:42:56 That weapon is weaker than the other because a) it is more damaged, and b) it needs 25 guns to properly use it. You can see if you lack the strenght or the skill because the numbers will be greyed out. But I must say, you just left the shop (where Cass was) so it was painful to watch you drop the stuff on the ground right next to it ^^U Others already told you that to maintain the equipment you use duplicates of what you already have, but the advice came too late xD 1:57:34 The sniper needs 80 skill in Guns to use it properly, it is an endgame weapon xD You can hold your breath with Alt for a bit more stability with any weapon that has a scope, but... the sniper is too much for you right now ^_^ 2:10:29 While both choices get the job done at the end of the day, as a matter of personal preference I prefer to get the actual sheriff that was stuck in the Correctional Facility. The only reason I prefer that choice is that Primm was trying to remain independent from the NCR before they were attacked by the powder gangers.

You can either use uneeded/duplicate weapons to either sell them or use them to repair others of the same kind

If you hold your Pip Boy button down it turns on a flashlight. Its super handy in dark areas when looting after killing off the enemies.

"The Legion happened. What the fuck's it look like?"

Legionary Assassins can be brutal when your character build is in the single digits, but by the mid-game their loot drops will be funding your conquest of the Mohave -- if you even need the caps by then.

my biggest tip for you is to use fast travel when you fill up and sell all items to vendor, then tp back. Also i love the long format as a 10 year fallout player i love to see a fresh take on the game like your providing.

I've played this game so long, I had forgotten how steep the learning curve can be. I realize I am a month too late with my advice, but I have a few suggestions: -If you have two or more of the same or similar weapons and armour, you can repair one of them from your inventory. It will consume the other(s), but the health of your weapon and/or armour will improve, meaning they will be more effective. Repairing equipment in this game is your friend! Major Knight at Mojave Outpost, Old Lady Gibson in Novac and several other characters can also repair equipment, for a fee. -New Vegas is a text-heavy game. Talking to characters is important for unlocking clues and quests. You don't necessarily need to select an obviously obnoxious or evil line of dialogue, but try to explore as many text options as possible. Sometimes there is important information people have that they don't immediately share. -The first few towns and friendly locations - Goodsprings, Primm, Sloan, Mojave Outpost, Novac - have early-game quests that help level your character. The challenge of the enemies and world become progressively harder the further out you wander. Your modded game also seems to have added enemies that are not in the vanilla game, such as the Deranged Bright Followers, so I'm guessing the mods have also made your version of New Vegas especially difficult. Good luck! :)

As a long time fallout fan, it’s fun to see a new fan play through my favorite fallout game and see how you play. Will be tuned in!

FYI: There's a house in Goodsprings just across the road from the saloon, past the windmill and raised water tank where Easy Pete sleeps that has a free bed and storage so you don't have to lug everything around with you. Makes a useful "safe house" early game.

Never get tired of people doing blind playthoughs, especially fallout 3 and new Vegas. New or old doesn't matter, original walking dead is good too.👍

That's a rough looking set of SPECIAL stats

1:31:30 I think that's Liam O'Brien.

Legion ambushes are deadly man. The first time it happened to me I had to kite them and move around for like 10 minutes, it was one hell of a fight.

Man the powder gang would have let you just walk in and talk to the guy the deputy wanted you to talk to at the NCRCF. Primm didn't want NCR protection

Comment for the algorithm. But fr, it’s been great watching you discover this game.

Loving this play-through. Keep it up man!

I wish I knew legion sends assassin squads before same thing happened to me first time. Only thing that saved me was my grenade rifle.

For me Charisma in New Vegas is like the most useless Special Trait, as those other 4 points can be used to strength or luck Imo Luck is the best special trait, when it comes to crits and especially Gambling (specifically Blackjack)

Went through all the trouble of killing them guys and didn't even get their energy weapons lol

46:30 dude take the extra weapons if you can carry enough, you can dismantle one and up the condition of the same weapon with them and the extra one is gone.

as a longtime player i suggest for a first playthrough just be you, when it comes to morality and decisions just wing it follow the gut im diggin watchin you play, havent watched a lets play in years

Ave, True to Caesar! RETRIBUTION!

Can't believe you missed that laser rifle in Nipton.

Remember my first playthrough! You’re in for an awesome time my friend!

It was said before, but again, it is hard for you to aim your weapons at this point, because your character's Gun Skill is only at 20. Gun Skill on your stats determines how easy it is to aim your normal gun weapons, because this is more of an RPG than just a shooter game.

I would strongly advise against going to the Vegas Strip (and Crimson Caravan) on the north path from Goodsprings. The enemies will be very hard to kill. Best way is following your main quest (Thay went thata way) until you reach the Vegas area :)

i do like how you are going just about everywhere but the main-quest, not that is a bad thing though, take your time to explore of course.

Bestplaythrough ive watched

Hell yeah Ace NV is dope

Great session, play normally as u u usually do its grat to observe how you failing too, dont need too observe another super experience player that wins everything. Playn hard is wild! :)

Keep the exploration in the gameplay 👍

Makes me wanna play this again lol

Loving the series

It hurts that you looked at like a grand total of 63 electron charge packs, ignored them, then proceeded to pick up a plasma pistol only to say "I don't have a whole lot of ammo for this".

IDK if this has been pointed out to you or not, but the reason your weapon sway when aiming is so wide is because your skill is so low. You've made a character that is terrible at shooting anything at all, and the game reflects that.

Paper towels are neat.

the legion are always so violent towards me for no reason (no one likes vuples inculta) so I always align myself against the legion

Good thing you’re not playing on Hardcore, selling purified water is crazy, but on normal mode I suppose it’s not that important. Still crazy to put another point into Charisma tho.

Bro you had 1 luck, 4 endurance and 3 perception but you went and chose the charisma that you already have 8 bro why 😮‍💨

1:45:58 Look at her fly 🤣

I play New Vegas on Steam, I would suggest you do the same, this only makes it so much harder, at the start.

Hard mode has got to be reduced ☠️

Love your streams Ace

Ave, True to caesar

Awesoe, good stuff!

just got in an argument with my dad. it was bad. thank you for distracting me.

Standing next to the store dropping guns SMH

No ones going to give you shit for skipping Caravan. I aint never tried to learn it. Gwent however.... you know that shits good when i reloaded my old save just to play a few rounds

Talking to people with your gun drawn is hilarious.

How on earth did you miss that blue star cap at 2:28:37 🤦‍♂

It's not much but you're getting a subscribe and like for the NPC who has a vocabulary of 100 words, 25 of them being the F bomb. I never noticed it before because I'm used to being around people like that, but yeah it is kind of annoying. Also, you've got a lot of video and I may miss it, but if something weighs nothing but has value pick it up. You can always sell it and it isn't holding you down. Cash/weight ratio.

What mods did you use man?

Repair your weapons and armor in your pip boy

Man I always get too frustrated watching people play this for the first time

You should really play fallout 4 I think you’ll find more enjoyable overall not that FNV isn’t enjoyable it’s just better for newcomers.

I think you’d like Fallout 4

join the ncr, legion is a bad faction. Boone in Novak is a good companion

: D

Stuff at the bottom of your list is trash

Where is the next video buddy lol
