      @@austincoz364 I suppose it could see a use in hardcore with a no-trade rule, then. Crafting only, use what you find style. I still think there are probably more than enough food items around though. Hardcore isn't very "hard", it just adds another dimension to the immersion that's all. One I like a lot, so I never play without it. But the vast majority of how difficult FNV is, is what playstyle you're going for, and which order you do things in. That makes the most difference.

    I completed "At a loss for words" on my low-intellect melee character build. I was role-playing tribal girl from Arroyo which is not the sharpest tool in the shed, so i intentionally chose speech checks, which were about to fail and also tried to fail every quest in some stupid way. It was really fun playthrough, you know. One time i was helping ncr doctor and i had to amputate a patient's leg, so my character made a mistake and amputated wrong leg and had to amputate another. Poor guy died.

      I've completed that challenge without trying to on several occasions. I was periodically going back to Black Mountain to farm high-level loot from the respawned super mutants and was surprised by the challenge message the first time I got it. I think this is what they intended, because those miniguns, light machine guns, heavy incinerators, and super sledges-and the caps they sell for-are a pretty tempting reason to keep coming back.

    I recall getting the "I dismember you" challenge in a fair few of my runs, and I would basically never set out to get any challenges. I think it probably comes down to specifics of play-style on a level much more granular than "use explosives" because I tend to use explosives very rarely. Possibly involving use of VATS frequently -Dead Money will help as the whole Ghost People mechanic of them getting back up after "death" but not dismemberment basically renders their limb health their actual health, so shooting off a leg is a sure kill.

    • @ItsJabo
      @ItsJabo  2 роки тому +150

      Yeah I forgot about that, the ghosts in Dead Money arent exactly dead when they're on the ground, so yeah that would count as a limb kill. Also VATS too. Usually I play without VATS and I dont tend to complete Dead Money so I overlooked these... Good point

      @gakk8658 2 роки тому +5

      I just got it in my recent playthrough as combo explosives/unarmed. Explosives obviously helped but using VATS a lot with unarmed did as well. Using the unarmed weapons focused on big hits over the DPS ones, nearly every hit in VATS is a crippled limb and the hits are spread around a lot, too, especially on the arms. I got it easily the run previous when I played a weeb and used the Katana the whole game since knocking enemies down and dicing up their legs crippled a lot of limbs.
      I never get it using guns or energy weapons since every VATS shot is to the head exclusively for the damage and outside of VATS it's try for the head and maybe get the torso instead.

    Even if you like playing caravan, you probably won't win 30 games simply because the reward for doing so becomes trivial before then. I like Caravan because it allows me to get lots of caps to get the best gear from the merchants in the southern part of the map without rushing the Strip. Even then you need only play 10 or so games between the Mojave Outpost, Cliff in Novac, and No Bark to do that. Even if you are playing a no luck build that can't exploit gambling, another 10 or so games is all you need to get the caps to turn yourself into a cyborg with all the implants. After that you really don't need more caps than you'll get from looting, even if you get all the expensive AF implants from OWB.

      The trick I use as caps (ante) get less and less, is to leave after only a couple games and come back later. This is because several NPC’s only play a limited number of times. For example, the bartender at Mojave outpost antes a lot, at first. But only plays around 10 games max. If you play 10 consecutively, you won’t make much. But if you come back, she’ll have a big ante again.

      Yeah, this was the most surprising feature in the video to me. Especially in Very hard, and with all the difficulty modifiers that come with things like Project Nevada, AWOP, etc. Caravan is essentially a free cash injection. It was just an incredibly, incredibly confusing cash injection at first.
      It's honestly pretty fun, so much so that I got an overhaul mod that made the AI less shit at it. It took me a very long time to realize that the game ends not when you fulfill the conditions on all piles, but that each row has at least one 'won' pile. I just could not understand the instructions on the holotape or the wiki page until it just 'clicked'.
      My standard deck is 4 6's, 7's, 8's, and 9's for consistency, then 4-6 Jacks and Kings with some jokers and maybe a few Queens if they're your preference, although they're usually underwhelming. Jokers can be hard to play if you have too many of them. Aces are just useless. Ideally you want your deck to be as small as possible.
      I recommend more people give it a try. It's practically where all my earlygame to midgame currency comes from, and it's not even reliant on the Luck stat.

    • @gakk8658
      @gakk8658 2 роки тому +7

      @@MegaOwner101 The best Caravan deck is 10 '6's, 10 '10's, and 10 Kings or 1 less of each of the number cards and 12 Kings if you can swing it. Kings are way better than Jacks because they force the opponent to waste a turn removing a pile when you overrun it rather than just removing a card and they can just replace it next turn. 1 '6', 1 '10' and a King on the 10 is 26 the fastest way possible.
      The downside is that you it will take a bit to get that many of specific cards. Maybe some people don't know that almost every human merchant sells cards, they just only appear in the "whole inventory" tab of their stuff, not in "Misc". Early on replace missing Kings with Jacks, missing '6's with '7's, and missing '10's with '9's.

    I got good at Caravan my first playthrough, and No Bark was an endless source of caps. It’s easy. Buy every “number” and “Ace” card you can. Then make a deck using only two suits, whichever you have most of. Include only a couple each of the face cards. During turn one, if the opponent puts down a high number, go low, and vice versa. Battle for the rows that you started high. Face cards can be used on the opponent, too. Try and get a deck up to 45-60 cards, with just 2 suits and face cards.
    One trick to actually making some good caps is to stop after a few games, and wait til their caps reset. You only have to do this with the NPC’s that play a limited number of games. For example, the bartender in Mojave outpost. You can make a lot with this trick.

    Caravan is a great and addictive minigame, honestly one of my favourite minigames in video games. I think the reason why no one plays it is because the pipboy tutorial note is badly written and makes it seem far more complicated than it is, so no one bothers with it. And most people who figure it out realize it's very easy to game the AI so they just do it for the achievment. But if you play it without trying to game the bad AI (which means purposefully building a suboptimal deck), it's really fun.

    "And boy are my arms tired..." is a challenge I completed on my second ever complete playthrough of NV. I called my character "Annie Golden Fist", and literally only ever used fist weapons or bare hands for every single bit of damage I did to enemies in the entire game. I wasn't trying to complete the challenge, and didn't even know it was one until it popped up on my screen in the middle of a rampage at the main Legion encampment. The character was created to begin with, because I got a ballistic fist on my first playthrough and saw how absurdly powerful it was even on a character with no unarmed skill. I listened to Motorhead for like the entire playthrough as that second character. My third complete playthrough was the one that was most ridiculous...because I exploited the hell out of stealth and crit to cakewalk the game with a silenced .22 pistol. After seeing how good it was, I did it again...but this time, I was literally never allowed to use another weapon in the entire playthrough. Killing deathclaws and legendaries with a little pea shooter will never get old.

    The most disappointing thing about new vegas challenges is that very few of them have worthwhile rewards, while its obvious you aren't supposed to do them like you're doing here, its still a punch in the gut that a challenge like desert survivalist doesn't give you a bonus to food healing, when there's a perk like camel of the mojave that does that but with drinks, and that perk requires a challenge to get, I wouldn't really care about the ridiculous numbers of some of these challenges if they actually had good rewards (lord death challenges can go fuck themselves, 1900 kills for a whooping 6% damage buff? It should've been something like that all weapons can pierce armor better... I have over 800 hours in new vegas and I think I only got apocalypse aint got nothin done once) its really astonishing that the "best" rewards you get are just damage buffs though.

    • @compromisedreality8827
      @compromisedreality8827 9 місяців тому

      No. Crit multiplier increases the crit damage by a certain multiple. Crit chance is affected by your luck (1% per point of luck, up to 10,) armor (joshua graham's armor is one of the best, that or the duster coat from lonesome road, they both add to crit chance, and boone's 1st recon beret also adds to crit chance. High crit gunslinger build is my favorite, i've gotten up to 20-26% crit chance with luck and crit boosting armor.) Crit builds are very powerful (and i usually run a gunslinger build because the "medicine stick" 45/70 rifle is my favorite gun in the game.)

    I guess the cannibal perk synergises well with a genocide run so it makes some sense that their second-tier challenge would be so ridiculously high, you have one cannibal challenge for a reasonably normal playthrough and one for a genocide playthrough

    • @DakalaShade
      @DakalaShade 2 роки тому +1

      You know, I think that probably makes a lot of sense. One perk (the far-more-useful one, "dine and dash," that lets you take some on the go) for normal cannibal playthroughs where "Hey, I got beat up in that fight, but there's a few bodies around me, I'll just heal up real quick," is the obvious strategy, and the other perk for "I'm going to kill and eat everyone in the Wasteland."
      It's like the Lord Death perks in that respect. Most players will pick up Rank 1 of Lord Death by the time they hit Hoover Dam if they're just taking their time, doing some side quests, and not trying to talk their way out of every available "speech, not kill" fight. 200 enemies is reasonable to get by Hoover Dam or by the _end_ of Hoover Dam, making it one of those perfect "end-of-the-game" challenges. Getting Lord Death of Murder Mountain (rank 2) requires 700 more kills (900 total) and is more or less something you'll only see in slow-moving playthroughs where you're not using fast travel and/or with mods increasing the number of enemies in the map. "Apocalypse Ain't Got Nothin' On Me" (rank 3) requires a further 1000 enemies (1900 kills total) to complete.
      I think I saw Apocalypse Ain't Got Nothin' On Me only once on a New Vegas run that lasted 3 years from start to finish, where I had more low-level enemies in the map (I prefer more enemies to bullet sponges, so more enemies is my preferred way to increase difficulty. It's the same amount of outgoing damage if I have to kill 10 raiders that take 2 shots with a 10mm as it is if I have to kill 2 raiders that take 10 shots, but I have to watch out for 5 times the incoming fire.) and was actively avoiding going to the Strip until I was comfortable with the idea of wiping out Quarry Junction's Deathclaw problem. (No easy feat when there's twice as many in there, but I wanted my character to have that back-of-the-mind moment that, "Why am I scared of Benny? I just killed a bunch of deathclaws, one of the most vicious and lethal creatures the wasteland has to offer, and I'm worried about some casino punk in a suit with a pistol? Benny, you better hope the wasteland kills you, because when I get done with you, you'll wish you were dead."
      And yes, I did lose karma with how I chose to deal with Benny. Caesar wouldn't let me have a gun to deal with Benny in the same way he dealt with me, and I wasn't going to either punch him to death (low strength/endurance character, he'd have been worried about hurting his own fists on Benny's smug face), or let Benny have a chance to swing at me with a knife. There's only one other option, because I wasn't going to upset the Legion by letting him go.

    I think 100 fails challenge was put there as either 1) just for fun incase there are people who deliberately pick failed speech checka to see how NPC's will react and 2) to encourage people to pick failed speech checks to see all funny dialogue devs added incase your character failed to talk

  • @yuuta6563
    @yuuta6563 2 роки тому +4

    I agree with some of those, but I think most of these challenges are more related to roleplaying rather than the rewards they give. For me, for example, the Devourer of Nations is something that I frequently get because I like playing the role of the crazed canibal sampling the entire wasteland. And it's something that I get very quickly, without the need to aimlessly kill random good/neutral NPCs, just by eating tribals and lobotomites in the DLCs (together with Powder Gangers, Fiends and other hostiles). There's even some mods that enhance the canibal playthrough experience. I think the same logic can be aplied to most challenges.

    Some of these feel like they were originally intended to be in Fallout 3. Like killing 150 super mutants, which would happen in an average playthrough of F3 since there everywhere, and also failing 100 speech checks would be more likely because in F3, it doesnt tell you whether youre going to pass or fail a speech check, since you get a percentage to pass rather than a direct x/y count. So in new vegas, theres little reason youd fail them because you quickly learn that it just tells you if youl succeed. Whereas in fallout 3 you dont know until you try.

    I understand the "And boy are my arms tired" challenge. The other one you compared it to, 25 000 damage with rifle grip weapons, has you deal a bunch of damage based on an undercategory of weapons from the "Guns" skill. The same applies to other challenges like "1 handed pistols" etc. The "And boy are my arms tired" refers to ALL of the unarmed weapons. So I see why they made it higher. If you have an unarmed build, there is no doubt in my mind you'll naturally complete this challenge in a normal playthrough.
