I like the mental image of Steve trying to hold up a small pistol as it drags his arm to the floor like a cartoon character with how low his strength is.
Please Jon, do every skill check you can so you fail them. There's sometimes great dialogue resulting from them, but because NV does show you whether you meet the requirement, there's a lot of lines I assume not many people know.
"Even the varmint rifle requires a Strength of 3..." *shoots bottle* "So it's gonna be really difficult for me to hit anything..." *shoots second bottle* "Just atrocious, really..."
His inability to shoot moving targets is really more of a "using a controller for some godawful reason" issue and not as much of a "weapon sway making a difference at short range" problem.
Jon: (starts talking about SPECIAL in the beginning) Me: "Oh, he's going to intentionally pick a bad build, like 10 Charisma and the opposite of his usual loadouts." Jon: (proceeds to go so, so much farther than that)
"Comprehension perk? You mad bastard. You haven't thought this through have you." Jon's simulated talks and self answered questions with the viewers are some of my favourite things.

Jon, you're missing one last thing to make Steve objectively the worst Courier of all time. Taking both Fast Shot and Trigger Discipline would make every gun objectively worse because both traits work against each other mechanically, resulting in guns that fire slower AND are less accurate!
actually Jon: The GRA version of the laser pistol can have iron sights attached. You can usually find it in Chet's store, Cliff Briscoe in Novac, the Gun Runner under the overpass at 188, and the Gun Runner's store outside Freeside
I guess the GRA likely modified the gun to have sights would be the ingame lore explanation but the technical reason would be something to do with code on the gamebyro engine.
Sunny and Trudy get uneasy if you do so, but the quest itself can still be done yes. Will actually be easier for the townspeople, will be one less person to fight
@@Mate_Antal_Zoltan Most people probably kill Cobb, but I guarantee almost all of them do it IN the fight for good springs quest. Not before. I doubt most people just shoot a random non hostile guy for being a bit of a dick in a bar.

Amazing that Goodsprings survived as long as it did, really. They talk about geckos like they're a serious threat, but they lived a stone's throw away from a two meter long bulletproof venomous scorpion for years and only now had an issue.
39:09 its quite funny that it is because of a conspiracy theory nut when most conspiracy theory are kernel of truths that then get blown way out of proportion so did this location its pretty great.
The 1% statement isn't technically true, as it doesn't take into account weapon modifiers. Some automatic weapons for example have a 0.05x multiplier, and the Sniper Rifle has a 5x multiplier.
I have probably rewatched this series approaching a dozen times now and it still makes me chuckle. I do hope The Worst Wanderer is going to happen eventually; Useless Steve vs The Capital Wasteland would be delightful.
Huh, I've actually never heard any of those theories about Lone Wolf Radio. I'd always assumed it was meant to be one of Ulysses' old haunts (even if the graffiti doesn't quite match his style).
@@HorizonofOsiris Well, when he was describing how to set yourself up at all 1 stats, he said the game can track a stat as if it was zero, so you might just see things get even worse during withdrawal, lol.
@@HorizonofOsiris Technically no, but stats can be tracked below zero. that means you have to increase your stats above the negatives as well. The stat won't be reduced to lower then 1 for any gameplay mechanics and such, but if you ever increase the stat, then the withdrawals will still be reducing it, negating the increase. In the end, you can take advantage of the lack of withdrawal reduction when the stats are at 1 because it doesn't make a difference, but once you want to start increasing them through any means, levels, clothes or other methods, you need to get rid of the reductions to the stat.
@@xXCroWolfXx Yes. I've watched all of it quite a few times, but with You only live once rules, if he gets killed, the run is over. I'm thinking he's going to have to heal. But playing and not getting blown up is going to take skill, and maybe some luck.
After 11 years of playing I did not know that. lol. I imagine the shovel is not on many people's priority list. Save if you want to get Chance's knife early on and know that you can dig up a grave for good loot at the nearby monument.
Attempting to walk 50 paces to the Yangtze memorial but accident drawing a giant radscoprion Into town which he is helpless to stop from murdering half the town is the best introduction to Useless Steve I can imagine.
(♪To the tune of: The Man they call Jayne♫) Steeeve! That damn Useless Steeeve! His SPECIAL stats sat first at ten over four But Steve ran a fix and they fell to the floor Our hate for him now ain't hard to believe The weakest of champions, that damn useless Steeeeve!
Same. I remember trying to fight Legate Lanius at level 15 wearing a vault suit and using a hunting rifle. I clearly didn't know what the fuck I was doing.
I played for about 25 hours before I figured out you could repair your weapons and didn’t have to keep burning money to have the guy at the Mojave Outpost fix them up for you.
I somehow got to freeside without finding the deathclaws, Boulder City, or Veronica. Then I got to Vegas and found Benny, but had no idea why he was there.
Ta for this, fella. Came here from your F:NV - YOLO series which impressed the hell out of me. You can tell how skilled a gamer is by how much they cripple themselves, and Inigo Montoya holds your beer.
About the Lone Wolf Radio urban legend: In the New California mod there's the radio station DETH98.1, hosted by a particularly brutal raider named Terror Max. They have a set of segments called "Wait Wait Don't Shoot Me!" where Terror Max tortures and kills an NCR General named O'Neill. The wiki says the station is a nod to 1950s era pirate radio stations, but now I have to wonder if it was partly inspired by the story about Lone Wolf Radio.
The very first time I played New Vegas I encountered a Giant Rad Scorpion in Goodsprings at low level and it had me trapped above an abandoned vehicle. As I didn't fully understand the game mechanics at the time and couldn't kill it, it put me off New Vegas for a long, long time, until someone told me to persevere with it, and glad I did. I did have to start over mind you.
“Oh live killed the hole town” John, your a liar, you definitely took a trait, the “Jinxed” trait, bad luck for everyone, no wonder everybody hates Useless Steve
I like to imagine the pre-console command SPECIALs are what Useless Steve was like before he got shot and was given some sort of irreperable brain damage.
"You're very likely not going to be coming into...OK, you're allowed to come into town. I was kind of assuming that...uh, Pete? Pete!? We've got problems, Pete!"
I like the game even more with your approach. It actually makes you think about overcoming challenges and plan ahead. Honestly looks like a proper to play it. They could make a difficulty settings to not affect enemies health too much, but slowing down and liming players' progress so much that their decisions actually matter.
you could technically boost your Sneak by 100 with a stealth boy to pass the stealth skill check with Trudy but I don't think that would change much since everyone basically died
I always though it was a reference to fallout 3 main character. Your character is the lone wanderer and it’s called lone wolf radio, plus it’s got the wasteland survival guide
It's good for roleplaying but it's absolutely useless as a special stat in FNV. There are only two CHR checks in the entire game and it's only used to govern Barter and Speech, which can be increased easily with skill points. Starting with 10 INT is also a bad decision as you'll be missing out an extra SPECIAL point that you could use on something other than INT. If you start with INT 9 you can get the INT implant from the New Vegas Clinic.
I ended up modding in more Charisma perks just to make it more of an enticing option. For example: 7 Charisma for something like the Wasteland Whisperer perk from Fallout 4 but passive. I figured it was the next logical step from Animal Friend.
for anyone curious the lowest speech check is actually a 15 when talking to swank as a substitute for 1 piece of evidence when talking to him about benny. the minimum to even get to carry your weapons in the tops is either 30 speech or 15 speech and 1 piece of evidence though.
Ah, Lone Wolf Radio brings back memories, i use it a lot as player housing, a bed, container that doesnt lose your items, it was great... now you are making me wanna replay fallout new vegas
Viva Hoodoo his challenges are a lot less interesting than jons imo... like Jon has some crazy challenges whereas his are just “can you beat new vegas with just your fists” .. like yes you can but it’s just not interesting .. but I think he’s funny as well
@@TheRubberMatch Agreed. He's fun to watch but a bit too frenetic and I find myself zoning out. Jon's videos, on the other hand, I usually watch right though.
It amazes me that Jon has made so many series in new vegas, and theres still stuff we javent seen in this game. It really is testament to how great and huge this game is despite them not even being able to finish it.
To be fair, "someone murders people on air in a remote location every night at midnight" is a pretty good setup for a quest. But the story just went off the rails at "oh you can kill a child and then gain the ability to kill children".
Wolftöne Studios Yeah. It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't keep announcing its coming "soon" and then starting something different. I think the first "it's coming soon" was over 3 years ago.
Should have taken Skilled and Small Frame then just consoled away the bonuses. Then you'd gain 10% less experience and take 25% more limb damage, on top of everything else.
A bit similar to my challange I came up in Fallout 4. I played the bombshell lawyer with 10 INT and CHA with only increasing SPECIALs every 10 levels only. On survival difficulty. Hella hard to be a supermodel lawyer in the post-apocaliptic world but it was amazing fun.
This run is a bit like his can you beat fallout new Vegas at level 1 challenge but he set his skills to 0. Though the main difference may be that that run was on easy wile this one is on very hard/hardcore.
I was expecting this to be a run in which Jon plays as a reprohensible monster in every scenario possible but then I remembered kill everything exists. Are we ever gonna get a fallout 4 kill everything?
@@simpking1513, That is false. most can actually die once certain conditions are met. Though I'm pretty certain He has stated he doesn't want to be known as the "kill everything" guy so has no plans on doing as such.
a good weapon for this run would be chance's knife as both grunt and cowboy give it a damage boost and both perks have low skill requirements. Combat knifes are also pretty common so keeping it repaired is pretty easy. also you don't have to worry about amo or gun sway.
i just realised.... alot of jon's mannerisms feel like things homer simpson would say. *shakes fist* "this plan is gonna work weither it wants to or not" feel like somthing homer would say
*Obsidian:* So you can side with Goodsprings or the Powder Gangers

@@Atamosk-bu7zt Scor pones? Scorpion Ponies? The Grand Pegasus Enclave? O.o
Jon is now the Scorpion King.
The only reason Useless Steve survived getting shot is because as a corpse he would've actually become *more* useful than he was alive.
I like the mental image of Steve trying to hold up a small pistol as it drags his arm to the floor like a cartoon character with how low his strength is.
Steve holds up his arm, bicep curves downward like a limp noodle.
I'm picturing that scene in Three Amigos where they gave Martin Short that gigantic revolver

It makes me wonder why they didn't just patch sights onto the original weapons. Is it a coding thing? I know New Vegas code can be funky in areas.
They knew that they would probably break the game by touching the old code lol, it had to have barely made it to launch
I guess the GRA likely modified the gun to have sights would be the ingame lore explanation but the technical reason would be something to do with code on the gamebyro engine.

Oh man that hurts when he said that , that’s the worst hair and beard cuz I always go for the hair style cuz I think it’s cool lol
for anyone curious the lowest speech check is actually a 15 when talking to swank as a substitute for 1 piece of evidence when talking to him about benny. the minimum to even get to carry your weapons in the tops is either 30 speech or 15 speech and 1 piece of evidence though.
Not sure what's my favorite part, the doom scorpion you brought in, or the teleporting outhouses.
I occasionally come back to watch this just for the entertainment value. Once the radscorpion gets involved, this is comedy gold.
Useless Steve's appearance is nearly identical to my favorite look for a male character.
So thanks, Jon.
Ah, Lone Wolf Radio brings back memories, i use it a lot as player housing, a bed, container that doesnt lose your items, it was great... now you are making me wanna replay fallout new vegas
I'd really like to see more fun/weird Fallout challenge runs and such (it's what I subscribed for anyway).
I recommend mitten squad to you. He does a fair amount of fallout 3/NV/4 challenges and others. Quite funny as well.
Viva Hoodoo his challenges are a lot less interesting than jons imo... like Jon has some crazy challenges whereas his are just “can you beat new vegas with just your fists” .. like yes you can but it’s just not interesting .. but I think he’s funny as well
@@TheRubberMatch Agreed. He's fun to watch but a bit too frenetic and I find myself zoning out. Jon's videos, on the other hand, I usually watch right though.
@@TheRubberMatch Yeah, I like Mitten Squad too, but nothing can compare to things like Jon's YOLO runs.
Milky Shakester I can’t stand his voice for some reason
Imagine if having low intelligence also made you illiterate, so you couldn't use sill magazines and skill books.
It amazes me that Jon has made so many series in new vegas, and theres still stuff we javent seen in this game. It really is testament to how great and huge this game is despite them not even being able to finish it.
I'm preparing for a medical procedure today, and it certainly isn't fun, this is exactly what I needed. Thank you Jon.
Good luck.
Do a flip!
Wren Is A Bird good luck!
Probably the best series opening ever. I felt so bad for goodsprings. Also, WTF with the outhouse. Gotta love New Vegas.
This may be the worst courier, but this will be the best series
I was a mad bastard who was thinking about the comprehension perk
I have been shamed
Ahhh I first started watching MATN years ago for the FNV and FO3 challenge runs. This is nice and nostalgic ^_^
To be fair, "someone murders people on air in a remote location every night at midnight" is a pretty good setup for a quest. But the story just went off the rails at "oh you can kill a child and then gain the ability to kill children".
Every time you do a Fallout series and it isn't FO4 YOLO, my heart sinks.
Wolftöne Studios Yeah. It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't keep announcing its coming "soon" and then starting something different. I think the first "it's coming soon" was over 3 years ago.
@@andycoombes3075, I'm pretty convinced we're going to get Half Life 3 before FO4 YOLO at this rate.
In the movie adaptation of this run, the part of Useless Steve is played by Rowan Atkinson.
Should have taken Skilled and Small Frame then just consoled away the bonuses. Then you'd gain 10% less experience and take 25% more limb damage, on top of everything else.
finished your fallout 4 survival playthrough yesterday and you bring this out today!! My Man!!
Yep, finally some new NewVegas Stuff.
A bit similar to my challange I came up in Fallout 4. I played the bombshell lawyer with 10 INT and CHA with only increasing SPECIALs every 10 levels only. On survival difficulty. Hella hard to be a supermodel lawyer in the post-apocaliptic world but it was amazing fun.
Kind of shocked Mitten Squad didn't mount this challenge first.
This run is a bit like his can you beat fallout new Vegas at level 1 challenge but he set his skills to 0. Though the main difference may be that that run was on easy wile this one is on very hard/hardcore.
Mitten Squad and the like are fun but the fact that they rush the main quest is a bit weak.
His stuff seems really clickbaity
after watching numerous DSP videos and TIHYDPs, coming back to Jon is like watching a charismatic saint play video games
Ahh a man of culture I see
@@michaelliggett4604 LOL
I was expecting this to be a run in which Jon plays as a reprohensible monster in every scenario possible but then I remembered kill everything exists. Are we ever gonna get a fallout 4 kill everything?
fallout4 kill everything wouldn’t really work because half the npcs can’t die
@@simpking1513, That is false. most can actually die once certain conditions are met. Though I'm pretty certain He has stated he doesn't want to be known as the "kill everything" guy so has no plans on doing as such.
a good weapon for this run would be chance's knife as both grunt and cowboy give it a damage boost and both perks have low skill requirements. Combat knifes are also pretty common so keeping it repaired is pretty easy. also you don't have to worry about amo or gun sway.
i just realised.... alot of jon's mannerisms feel like things homer simpson would say.
*shakes fist* "this plan is gonna work weither it wants to or not" feel like somthing homer would say
Never knew about the outhouse exploit at the NCRCF. I used to utilize a similar technique when I would break into player CAMPs in FO76.
