Fallout: New Vegas

Had this idea of going to the Fort and killing Eddie before going to Vegas and confronting Benny.

... with what, mods?

Guns. Knives. ED-E and Boone.

Addition: Oh, I see what you're saying; I was going to head to Cottonwood and take the ferry. It's not blocked off till I meet Benny, is it?

It shouldn't be.

I'm interested to hear what happens. Will the Legionaire guy still appproach you on the Strip (that would be amusing) or not?

It's been awhile; I decided to come cack to this game, with Project Brazil.

Anyone have expreience with it?

I haven't attempted it, I'm going to when I next get on my X Box copy tomorrow.

There's no way to get to the Fort until you have the Mark of Caesar (barring mods, console, etc.). After you get it, you can get to the Fort even if you kill the ferryman, but before then he and his boat are not there.

I watched Al Chestbreach play Project Brazil awhile ago. It seems like it's definitely one of the better quest mods.

Are you certain? Have you tried it before?

I've been to Cottonwood before then, both Legion-neutral and Legion-hostile with the area cleared. There is no barge or ferryman. Once you get the Mark, the ferryman shows up even if you killed all the other Legionnaires (if you did it by dropping the barrels he shows up in a radiation suit).

Well, poo. Oh well, killin' Legion's fun anyway.

@ Mrsunshinesprinkles

I loved Project Brazil, I really hope they finish it some day. Only thing I can tell you is to listen to the advice you get after you choose your class. The first time I chose athlete and just used charisma as a dump stat as always, and then promptly made it basically unplayable that way and had to restart. It's a great quest mod.

You know, there's nothing I hate more than the Vegas Ruins. I always forget who's where and what door goes to what section.

This leads to me repeatedly walking into Cook Cook at lower levels than I'd like. You'd think I'd learn by now.

Eh, still beats navigating the subway tunnels in Fallout 3, especially with my nonexistent sense of direction.

I still sa the subway tunnels were the best part of Fallout 3. They take you very far away from all the stuff that sucks.

Oh, I like them thematically, but I hate them because I really suck at navigating them. Really, I'm not wild about most tunnel-maze things in games for this reason.

Oh, and with BS, they fill up with bullshit damage-sponge enemies.

Doesn't Broken Steel do that with the entire overworld?

Yeah, it spawns lots of Deathclaws and Enclave patrols as well as those fucking Albino Radscorpions all over the shop.

As well as spoiling the whole plot of the game post-Purity thanks to Three Dog as soon as Broken Steel finishes loading.

Deathclaws and the Enclave weren't that bad when you were a high enough level for them to spawn.

When you blow up Raven Rock do the Enclave bases disappear?

Nope, not as far as I recall. Neither do the patrols.

I wonder whose bright idea the Albino Radscorpion was. The only difference from the regular Giant Radscorpion is that the Albino has like four times as much HP and is white. That is a shitty way of making end-game content.

Yep, agreed on that. I love Fallout 3 but it isn't perfect, by any means. And I am glad I waited until the DLC came out to buy it so that I could actually have an ending to the main story that made some fucking sense.

No, the Enclave camps are still there after Raven Rock is destroyed and remain there after they appear for the first time due to the storyline. And yes, Fallout 3 has it's flaws, but I have a ton of fun with it.

Though I find it difficult to go back to after playing New Vegas.

My problem when going to back to Fallout 3 after New Vegas is all the little things.

The skill and perk changes and the iron sights being the biggest ones.
