I actually started getting a bit tired of the game, what with the endless random encounters, having to cheat to beat the raiders in Vault 15 by going in and out of the elevator (otherwise they would have torn me apart), not really knowing what to do or where to go etc, So I'm taking a break from...

Yeah I probably would have done that too normally, but I got to a point where I didn't know what I wanted to do, and it started annoying me to the point of not wanting to carry on playing. But taking on the families in some fun firefights fixed that problem and made it fun again. Having said...

I decided that i couldn't be bothered doing quests for any of the criminal gangs, so I've killed the Salvatores, and also the Bishops (although it was a challenge getting out of there alive). So I reckon I'll have a crack at the Mordinos next, and then see how it goes with the Wrights, who I...

I've reached and explored New Reno, and I've met the various families (apart from Bishop who always attacks me on sight). But I'm not sure what to do. Which family should I help, if any? They all seem pretty nasty so should I just kill them all? I went south and met the kid who was making the...

Yeah I may have done one or two of the New Vegas follower quests, must make a point if doing them all next time. Can't agree on Fallout 3 though, I love it! A few too many tunnels with ghouls in them for my liking, and too easy on default difficulty, and needs a hardcore mode, but that's what...

I'm playing F2 with the restoration mod. I've always preferred to play the Fallout games without followers, because it seems like the right way to play it, even in the later games. I can't remember if followers have their own unique quests in 3 and New Vegas. If they do then next play though...

I've got speech tagged so hopefully I will still be getting the opportunity to do quests. And maybe I can invest some points in Barter to improve prices a bit. As for the slavers I'll probably just leave it until I'm more powerful, maybe with a big gun.

That's good to know, because it's me doing the fleeing at the moment!

Yes I got a hunting rifle (which is so much more powerful than my pistol) during a random encounter. But then it ran out of ammo, so now I've got a couple of guns and various types of ammo, but the only ones that match are the pistol and the 10mm. And I'm still too weak to successfully kill...

SOP? I'm resisting it for now anyway

Yeah I might have to cheat it if I can. Although if I kill the slavers then I'm guessing I wouldn't need the radio. I've reached Modoc anyway and I'm gradually saving up for a shotgun. And the vendor issue was because I was trying to sell an activated item (a lit flare!).

I did look there, but it wasn't anywhere in there. Someone told me to look around the vendors, but I couldn't see it there either. So I'm not sure what's going with that. I'll try offloading some items anyway, hopefully that will fix the vendor selling thing.

I've got about 90 rounds of 10mm ammo now (albeit armor piercing), so hopefully that'll keep me going for a bit. I'm also having an issue where traders wouldn't accept my offers even if they matched or slightly exceeded the dollar value. Not sure if that was a bug? Ended up getting annoyed so...

Oh yeah, I'll head to the hunting grounds. Can't blind enemies due to no targeting because I have Fast Shot. But I managed to get through it eventually.

Yeah I did that (barely survived though). Once I'd been taught how to skin geckos I went back to the caves but all the bodies had disappeared. Worth a try though!
