I agree with BloodLynnx. Why waste a perfectly-good companion when you could just let them have the rancher's douchebag broodspawn? Veronica's freight train of a fist comes in handy.

Anybody else think it's unfair that you need a Speech skill of 66 to get into Vault 3 without fighting the Fiends or be doing a Khan drug run? I didn't think mindless junkies would be so difficult to trick that I'd have to become Bill Clinton to get in, when I could just slip them some chems. Or how there's hardly any Legion quests outside the main scenario; they could have had the option to become a Praetorian by sending you to the Deathclaw Promontory with nothing but a Ballistic Fist...

If you ask me, Obsidian missed out on a LOT of quest opportunities. I can point out a dozen locations in ten seconds that should have had a quest tied to them that weren't, and it's disappointing.

The development time was rather lean for what they were trying to make so they didn't have much time to expand on the legion. And boone can be fun to give to the cannibals if you're doing a legion run.

I just gutted out all of Vault 3, daisies drug abusers.

Ok, time to snipe Violet.

Talk your way in, get in as deep as you can, and then kill your way from the inside out.
Because it'll only get easier as you progress.

I just walked into the Vault, lied to the fiend, and then shot her.

Then i VATS'd her buddy before he could get me.

After that, it was a cakewalk.

If I've got room to snipe or use my All-American then everything is easy. Traps kill me more than enemies. Though said traps are REALLY good at killing me. I get paranoid in Vaults because of trip wires.

Grenade Bouqets are maybe some of the coolest and dealiest traps I've come across.
Too bad you can't make those yourself.

I hate hate hate those grenade bouquets. There weren't many in New Vegas but wherever they were, they killed me without fail.

Of course, three grenades litterally fall down and nestle in your sensitive areas before nuking them.

I stole this toy gun from a kid.

Ya know, cause guns are bad.

Liraxus, I TOLD you to go to the power plant. That toy gun is useless until you do so.

Worst part of traps is when I avoid them perfectly and then my companion charges on in. I can never play Hardcore because they would all die to those fucking bouquets.

It's also useless after you do so.

It is slightly less useless.

Somehow getting a hold of an AMR before reaching Vault 3 kinda ruined that opportunity for me.

"Who the fuck are you?!"
"......I'm the guy with the gun..."

Boo. i hated that powerplant mission.

I'm gonna go get bounties, get payed, and buy either some implants or a few gun proletariats.

The hunting rifle with a scope is amazing.

Then maybe do that awesome rocket mission...
