Probably around half of the total or so. I hit a lot of the outlying areas to pick up skill books before the story split save.
Going to try to actually get the Brotherhood through this time, but if they bump the file size too much by doing their missions, then I'll just revert to an earlier save and blow them up again. Really, really wish this had been better put together so I wouldn't have to try very carefully to avoid content just to finish. Neutral

How much stuff are you keeping saved up in chest storage?

Anyone noticed that some shops don't reset stock? A few shops still has everything I've sold them and one or two travelling merchants don't actually travel, they stay in the exact same place.

Considerably less than normal too, now that I think about it. Thinking
Eh. Same complaint though.


Some do, some don't. The terminal shop in the Lucky 38, for one. It gets caps back every so often, but it doesn't add or remove anything from its inventory.
However, the Gun Runners shop does. Best place to sell off a gold bar every 3 days since they restock their ammo.

I notice they do. Make sure that you sell your stock in a properly reseting shop, could help on memory as well.

Come to think of it, I haven't really sold anything, or picked up much other than ammo. Probably why I'm sitting just under 7K file size.

I haven't needed money since I went around and got the snowglobes before meeting House. Spent all that in implants, but then went and got around 30K caps by breaking all the casinos again. It's just so easy with Blackjack.

Not on your life.
My Luck stat isn't nearly as high as my character's.
We'd be broke in seconds. pale

However, for this there's a pretty simple secret to winning.
If you're showing 13 or less, Double Down. If you've got 14-17, then Hit. Anything higher, Stay.
You'll be banned and rich in about fifteen minutes tops.
Now, I've never tried this with less than a 5 Luck, so that might have something to do with it. Usually though it tells you when your Luck played a part in a win.

Mine's up at 7, 8 with the Shades. Luck is just an excellent stat to have, and would be even if it did nothing beyond increase your crit chance.

The Lucky Shades from the Legion Safehouse. They're the only reason I wanted to gain rep with the Legion. I was very glad to find out about the speech check to do so without any consequences.

Well, if yours is 10 already then it doesn't matter, does it? Ten is the max, right? Or can passive bonuses like those take it up to 11 (literally) and still have an effect? I'll have to look into this.

Well, it looks like that's a no. Can't be taken above 10.

However, I also found this:
Quote :
Taking Four Eyes (trait), which gives you a permanent -1 to Perception while giving you a temporary +2 to Perception when wearing glasses, or +3 with Lucky Shades
Not that Perception is an overly useful stat anyway.

Finished Old World Blues last night, really enjoyable DLC overall, the only part I didn't like was the number of enemies in the map, just walking around you get hammered by machine gun blasts and armored scorpions every second and it gets annoying to try and fast travel as they chase you until you reach another group.
Nevertheless, did the main quest (of course) and a few side quests as well as discovering all the locations, still had at least 5 side quests to do when I finished but can always do this dlc again some other time. Nice loot and good story overall. I didn't enter many of the locations, went in the "mysterious cave" and got instantly killed by the legendary bloatfly, so I said feck that and ran out Razz. Now it's on to Lonesome Road !

Well, I can't do the NCR's questline. Complete shutdown whenever I try to enter Red Rock Canyon to see the Khans. I'll try again next time I play through. I'll just have to creep by the Deathclaws and make straight for Vegas from the beginning.

Oh, well. For now, back to Dark Souls. Very Happy= :D

I have shelved this for now after finishing Lonesome Road last night. I really enjoyed that DLC, it was difficult but had really stunning scope in places and a lot of valuable loot and weapons Wink . I also defeated Rawr and he was pretty easy actually, just chucked a bunch of plasma mines down before he noticed me and that pretty much killed him (finished him off with Anti Material rifle) . I know he would've been near unbeatable if I didn't have those mines though Razz .

Had a really lol moment in the dlc, only realized at the final boss fight that those things ED could get into doubled as vendors facepalm2 , i was surviving only on stimpaks and radaway I had bought in .

I actually always get some sort of lock up with the Khans. Hence I kill them.

Red Rock Canyon pretty much lagged to a stand still for me at times as well. I once spent 2 hours slowly walking out of red rock canyon because I hadn't saved for a while before it and didn't want to lose progress. It was like one step every 3 minutes.

So...for my birthday my girlfriend made me a nuka cola quantum light, got me an ncr rangers 1st recon beret, made me some of the magazines, a stimpack, a thing of fixer (that is actually a sun powered usb charger), and some letters (aged).


There's apparently more on the way, so I'll post pics of what she did after she gets it to me.

Look for the Summer Sale then. Could be any time during those months. Wasn't until some time in July last year, I believe.
Incidentally, I'm planning on the same thing. It would be nice to play without a crash every ten minutes once you actually get somewhere.
