** Better yet: If you have a mod that allows you to have unlimited companions, you can have the Courier swoop in guns blazing with all the FireForgedFriends you've made through your adventures in the Mojave to put an end to them once and for all during the Battle of Hoover Dam. [[BigDamnHeroes Big]] [[{{Pun}} Dam]] [[BigDamnHeroes Heroes]], indeed. [[Here's the link https://youtu.be/rQoKQ3Klunk?si=nyyPOCA_5Ypwwxsa ]]

* The way the whole game starts off with a [[IncrediblyLamePun bang]].

* For the ultimate in comfortable asskicking, get some sort of casual clothing, like Pre - War Relaxedwear or Sexy Sleepwear and play the game with just that, without any weapons or companions. If you make it all the way to Lanius and then beat him down in a mano e mano - congratulations, you've [[IncrediblyLamePun singlehandedly]] changed the fate of the Mojave without help from anything or anyone but your own pure skill.

*** Reprogramming Hoover Dam's anti-air gun to shoot down [[JustForPun Bear Force One]]. You can actually do this [[NoNonsenseNemesis before Kimball has even landed, too.]]

** Bonus points if the Pulse Gun was one of the items used in Veronica's companion quest. When the gun is presented to the Elder, they will dismiss the idea of the Pulse Gun being used to wipe out the entire Brotherhood, thinking that the one Veronica had was "the only one of its kind". Then, as you and Veronica leave Hidden Valley, a gang of Brotherhood Paladins hold you up at gunpoint, claiming you're spreading ideas contrary to the Brotherhood and the Codex, and that you should be sentenced to death for it. Assuming you don't [[KickTheSonOfABitch waste the bastards then and there]] (although doing so will fail the quest, and [[WhatTheHellHero cause Veronica to leave you in disgust]]), you can simply say Veronica was leaving (which the Paladins smugly accept as exiling her), and then you can suggest that Veronica join a Followers' outpost, only for the Paladin gang to massacre everybody in the outpost out of spite, and then turn to kill you and Veronica when you show up. ''Then'' [[LaserGuidedKarma you can totally waste the bastards]] without any repercussions from either Veronica or the rest of the Brotherhood.

* Of course, if you're already annoyed with Jed forcing you to leave a lot of your stuff behind, irritated that you can't just go back after the idiots you're travelling with get killed, and are generally angry with the thought of dealing with missionaries and wastelanders cosplaying as Native Americans, you do have one last option...

** If you got the Enclave Remnants to add the Legion and Caesar died for any reason, the Legion betray the Remnants. However, this betrayal backfires spectacularly, as the Remnants kill several hundred legionaries without losing any of their own. RetiredBadass they ain't no more.

* Though it's otherwise very tragic, Boone's bad ending in a Legion victory is a true DyingMomentOfAwesome. Furious over the Legion's victory and driven by his memories of his wife, Boone stages a suicidal attack on them, "fighting as he wished he would've fought on the day of his wife's death," and he brings down scores of Legion officers before he's captured. Before he's crucified, Lanius comes to see him to express his admiration for Boone's reckless bravery. [[DefiantToTheEnd In response, before the entire Legion watching]], [[SpitefulSpit Boone spits in his eye]].

*** There's some nifty loot, but nothing particularly rare other than some Mini-Nukes and a Nuka Cola Quartz, and there's only one unique item which isn't particularly showy. In all, it's a BraggingRightsReward-sort of area, but surviving it means you have utterly mastered the game.

* ''Every single NPC'' (Except Yes Man) can be killed, meaning ''New Vegas'' is a game of countless possibilities. While it's often spoken of how awesome the game's speech features are, this leaves out the fact that killing ''everyone'' the player wants is completely an option, whether it's used for good or evil.

* Of course, if you're already annoyed with Jed forcing you to leave a lot of your stuff behind, irritated that you can't just go back after the idiots you're travelling with get killed, and are generally angry with the thought of dealing with missionaries and wastelanders cosplaying as Native Americans, you do have [[KillEmAll one last option...]]

* Do you know how long it takes to make a console/PC video game? Usually, companies take 2-4 years to make sure they get it right. Obsidian was only given... '''''[[AbsurdlyShortProductionTime 13 months]]'''''. Factoring in at least 2 months for pre-planning (confirmed by J.E. Sawyer) and at least a month of basic bug testing, they made the entire game in ''ten'' months. Very impressive when you realize the scope of the game. On the other hand, a TearJerker for Obsidian as Sawyer let slip that they needed 5 more months to fully flesh out the game: specifically to add the post-game sequences and Legion territory.
* JE Sawyer [[http://twofoldsilence.diogenes-lamp.info/2012_01_01_archive.html released a mod]] that greatly corrects errors in the game, fixes DLC issues, made Hardcore Mode actually hardcore, made the rewards for Dead Money less game-breaking, and added Damage Resistance back into the game for certain armors. This was created ''after'' the game had finished production and they weren't going to continue working on it officially. That's dedication to making sure it runs right.
* Rycon Roleplays is doing an ''extensive'' [[https://www.youtube.com/user/ryconroleplays/playlists?view=50&sort=dd&shelf_id=30 Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3 roleplay]] that is still on-going to this day, where he plays his character Logan every single second of the game and ''never'' breaks character, no matter how many oddities occur. Just so you can have an idea, he spent several episodes without leaving Goodsprings, all for the sake of realism. Talk about patience, huh?
** The series itself is full of awesome moments in its own. The progress Logan makes from being just a survivor in a dangerous wasteland to a hardened veteran badass is pretty notable.
** [[https://youtu.be/bOzMMvqC958?t=448 His death threats to Benny when he found out he was double-crossed by him]].
---> '''Logan:''' I warned you. I told you to not double-cross me. This is it, Benny. Next time I see you, ''you're a dead man''. You just signed your own warrant.
** The end of the first season, where Logan and Benny fight to the death in the Legion's arena with machetes. Also, [[https://youtu.be/PZDOxUvtvRc?t=570 Logan's pre-ass kicking speech beforehand]].

* When talking to Lieutenant Boyd, a low-intelligence Courier can suggest trying to interrogate Silus by [[PokeThePoodle calling him names.]] Boyd mocks you for it, and makes it clear that she wants you to beat the information out of him. However, if the Courier has a high enough Speech stat, you can get the information simply by talking to him. Specifically, by [[IShallTauntYou insulting him]] [[TheCuckoolanderWasRight until he angrily blurts out the information you need.]]

-->'''Caesar:''' You're the courier who's caused so much trouble for my Legion, and yet you dare come before me. Vulpes Inculta, the best of my frumentarii, is dead. All the bribes I sent to the Omertas ended up buying me nothing. The Great Khans aren't exactly clamoring to fight for my Legion ''now''. The garrison I established at Nelson has been wiped out. Years of meticulous scheming to place a mole at Camp [=McCarran=] - wasted. The Kings of Freeside are cooperating with the NCR now, which frees up soldiers to defend the dam. You even disrupted a promising weapons deal with the Van Graffs. So tell me this, because I ''really'' want to know: I am feared - with good reason - but ''you'' of all people dare to come before ''me'', the mighty Caesar. ''What were you thinking?''
