    at a distance

    ideally with a sneak attack to start off with

    someone in the G&T thread bitched about how cass wouldn't fuck him even after he did her quests


    something about expecting sex for payment, even in a video game, comes across as astoundingly creepy to me

    So even after that

    Does she fuck you tia

    she doesn't

    in point of fact she makes it excessively clear that you will never ever get in her pants

    at least as a male. no idea as female.

    yeah the whole game is pretty open with the gay stuff

    which is cool

    although it seems a little too intentional at times, but maybe I'm just being paranoid

    well

    it is very intentional about it, but I think they're trying to make a bit of social commentary with it.

    Like near forlorn hope,
    one of the death letters you find goes on normally addressed to a guy, blah blah I want to see you again abloo bloo and then at the end you notice it has another guy's name. DADT duhurr.

    It treats homosexuality very well, that is to say not abnormally at all. When the companions mention being gay you don't even get a speech option to go 'wait what?', which I think is a good thing.

    yes

    so many millions of times better than in 3. And against normal deathclaws they do just the right amount of damage so that a sneak crit headshot kills them, but a bodyshot doesn't so you have a pissed off deathclaw charging at you.

    Yeah, and I like they don't make a "thing" about it.

    Like it's just mentioned offhand entirely by Veronica and just isn't an issue. Indeed, you could go through the whole game with her and have no idea. She's more like your sister than a love interest anyway.

    Wow, he was still bobbing a bit with that scope. With 100 skill and crouching, the regular rifle doesn't bob at all. For regular/papa/mama deathclaws, I'm prob gonna end up using AM sniper rifle with the armor piercing rounds. Donno if that;ll be enough to instant kill on V. Hard though.

    My next character will be a melee focused Roman loving brute.

    I will take the perk that gives 50% more damage against Deathclaws and other critters with melee and unarmed.

    I will bumper sword them all to death.

    sucks that it's inferior to the regular sniper rifle

    nice for when you know you're going to make one-shot kills for 100% certain and don't need to be stealthy

    otherwise the rapid fire and silence of the regular sniper upgraded is better.

    Do they have different names, or are you talking about a scoped hunting rifle?

    just too bad there are no vehicles to kill in New Vegas

    and don't say deathclaws because the sniper rifle is still better at killing them

    even the unique sniper rifle is inferior in most situations to the regular upgraded one if you're into being silent

    nothing is, of course

    though occasionally I like the visceral feel of the regular minigun
