    A small glitch that is easily repeatable, as you seen there with the one ranger, is that if the ranger doesn't talk to you they will respawn indefinitely until they do. So if you summon one in a fight and they engage combat before talking to you, they will instantly respawn on the spot they die.
    So in theory, you could get one to fight the legate, and they would eventually win, if they never talk to you.

    One run that I always found fun in my own time is named items only. This means that any equipment you use cannot be generic, so you must use your fists as they are yours until you find, buy, or gain from a quest a unique named item. The hardest part of this challenge tends to be not being able to use most healing items in most games.
    Fallout 4 is the easiest for this because some enemies will drop named weapons and armor. NV works for this as well as most weapon types have a named versions with several options for weapons from the start. Skyrim has lots of named weapons and armor this isn't too hard to get a hold of. The last game I did this in my own time was Cyberpunk 2077 with all of the iconic weapons/cloths that are just laying around.

    Things like eliminating the 'Outside Operational Area' feature (Or changing it to a penalty instead of outright making the radio useless), letting you choose the type of supplies dropped, making it be a small squad of troopers instead of just one, letting them follow you better and attack more consistently, and giving them some actual limited follower controls.

      Doors is a big one, because being able to clear out an interior leading a squad of troopers would be cool.
      One big thing I'm concerned about would be balance, though. You don't want to be able to bullrush the entire game with your disposable companions.
      Maybe if there was also an internal loyalty system, or some way to have a _personal_ squad that can level up, encouraging you to help keep them alive and not use them as cannon fodder?
      They could be replaced, for sure, but that might lead to less experienced and equipped troops, and possibly other effects?
      I'm not thinking of a permanent, always-with-you squad, but using 'the same' troopers again and again would lead to them being better experienced, better levelled, and maybe better equipped.
      Perhaps a 'time limit' in the form of supplies, which the Supply Drop could also be used to supplement?

      @@DonnaPinciot I think having a number set to the internal faction reputation system would make sense, it would mean that the mid game gets significantly easier if you tend to be a good player.
      Something like at base acceptance you'd only get 1 Trooper and or 1 Ranger
      Rangers would stay the same but at Idolized you'd get a new Option for Advanced Rangers in Riot Gear.
      Troopers on the other hand would simply increase in number maxing out at 5.
      Since Troopers get worse gear and would likely die horribly if left alone to things like Deathclaws or Cazadores. They would be great for clearing large spaces.
      But yeah some way to prevent players from just amassing an army would be needed. But hey if the Radio was fixed and had minor improvements at least you could use it for most of the game instead of what Nerbit had to endure.

    I was one who asked for this run. A lot of people consider the radio useless, and I'm delighted to see that proven true.
    The one and only time I ever found the radio useful in my games was when I needed to kill a single deathclaw and wasn't high enough level to do it myself.

    • @somepretentiousguy3492
      @somepretentiousguy3492 Рік тому +24

      I've heard that theres a handy glitch that you can pull off with the radio, allowing you to summon an NCR ranger at the Sierra Madre. Obviously the ranger themself is useless as usual, but you can kill them, take their cowboy repeater, and the rest of dead money will be much easier thanks to a weapon you were never supposed to be able to use in dead money.
      Never tried it out myself, but from what I've heard, that might actually be the best possible use for the radio. Not calling in support, but rather cheesing a gun into a restricted area.

    Speaking of buggy items, I had something weird happen to Euclid’s C Finder in a recent playthrough. A few in game days after I got the weapon, the kid who you buy the weapon from showed up with it again, and I figured I might as well buy it again. Then I had 2 space lasers per day. An in game week later, the same kid somehow spawned by the gun runners with a third c-finder. I bought that too, but then all three of them refused to fire off. Instead the targeting lasers would not despawn and continued flashing ominously no matter what weapon I was holding. I decided to trash all of my c finders after that point

    The Radio has been pretty useful for me. You can have the trooper and the ranger at the same time if you just wait another day, but the trooper always refuses to enter interiors, the Ranger follows me most times, but that’s likely because I try to have both at all times.
    Secondly, if the Ranger or Trooper dies before they talk to you they keep respawning until they do. The good thing about this is that if you’re in a fight with the legion when you call for back up the Ranger essentially becomes immortal. If you could some how manage to not talk to the Ranger when you summon her at the end of the game she will kill the legate… eventually.

I can't imagine playing without it, though the immense jank of unmodded NV (remember, Obsidian only had 18 months to get it out, so NV may as well be an unpolished, less than 1/4th finished tech demo compared to what it could've been) does make these challenge runs a touch more entertaining.

    To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
    Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say
    No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
    For the stranger there amongst them had a big iron on his hip
    Big iron on his hip
    It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
    He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around
    He's an outlaw loose and running came the whisper from each lip
    And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip
    Big iron on his hip
    In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
    Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
    He was vicious and a killer though a youth of twenty-four
    And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more
    One and nineteen more
    Now the stranger started talking, made it plain to folks around
    Was an Arizona Ranger, wouldn't be too long in town
    He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
    And he said it didn't matter, he was after Texas Red
    After Texas Red
    Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red
    But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead
    Twenty men had tried to take him, twenty men had made a slip
    Twenty-one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip
    Big iron on his hip
    The morning passed so quickly, it was time for them to meet
    It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street
    Folks were watching from the windows, everybody held their breath
    They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
    About to meet his death
    There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play
    And the swiftness of the Ranger is still talked about today
    Texas Red had not cleared leather for a bullet fairly ripped
    And the Ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
    Big iron on his hip
    It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered 'round
    There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
    Oh, he might have gone on living but he made one fatal slip
    When he tried to match the Ranger with the big iron on his hip
    Big iron on his hip
    Big iron, big iron
    When he tried to match the Ranger
    With the big iron on his hip
    Big iron on his hip

    You should do a Fallout New Vegas run with only DinnerBell so you can't attack anything until you get the weapon because that would be a fun little challenge running into the places to get the eggs for Red Lucy

    Probably the only good idea for a fallout challenge video I've ever seen

    The NCR Ranger I called using the radio surprised me. I was banking on the hope that she’d get killed in Nipton by the Legion, but she managed, while already being injured and having a crippled leg mind you, to slaughter all the Legion pretty well.

      Well Rangers are far more experienced warriors than any NCR soldier out there, besides most Legionnaries you meet on the other side of the Dam are recruits hoping to prove themselves in battle.

    Ok as someone who has used the radio a bunch this hurts. The radio is actually incredibly powerful if used right. Get the ranger and soldier killed then take everything out of their inventory then fill it with power armor and good weapons and ammo and stim packs. When they respawn they will have all the items equipped. You can also get both of them to spawn at once by waiting.
    But yeah it’s glitchy. Save often if they vanish reload a save.

    I love how when you first use it you can see the ranger just drop in out of time and space behind the diesel truck.

    I like how you used Fallout 3 music in the background. The exploration OST in that game was great.

    You fool. You didn't realize that the corpse of the ranger was the supply drop you asked for.
