    Regarding containers-

    Most important thing is some containers respawn. That means anything in them is deleted and they are restocked with their default stuff (if any). Usually this happens about once a week in-game time. So if you want to test a container you need to put something in it and wait at least 1 in-game week. Usually that's good enough.

    But also keep in mind that NPCs will take stuff from containers if they want to. Usually stuff that's far away from any towns etc where no NPC has any business being is safe, but you never know if someone might wander by, especially if it's outdoors. NPCs need food and water and will take it where they find it, and especially if they get attacked they will definitely run to the nearest container and take guns/etc out of it. Some NPCs may just be kleptos, too...

    Also, Veronica apparently has a thing for Abraxo Cleaner because every time she sees some she has to snag it. Must be her domestic instincts?? harrr...

    Can you actually play craps at any of the casinos? I've seen the tables, but they've all had signs on them that say they're out of order or something.

    I figure, after the war, no one remembers the rules anymore.

    OK, some quick Q's about Mr House:
    So, I've gotten the NCR to like me, and I've "joined" BoS, but I haven't gone to see Mr. House yet. I know that one of the big choices I have is whether to work with him or betray him w/ Yes Man. My main question is how that affects my relationship with the NCR or other factions? It's hard to make decisions in this game. I'm planning on siding with the NCR and getting the BoS to agree to a truce. Also getting the Boomers to help. I don't know how the Strip plays into that though.

    I didn't get the BoS / NCR truce when I did it but House was unbendable on the point that you have to destroy the Hidden Valley bunker. Also if you complete enough of House's quests, you can't work for the NCR anymore.

    Ah, so Mr. House is basically just another faction, as far as endgame is concerned. Thanks.

    it made me so mad when I got there on this run. I'm like, level 4 and I get there and that dude's all "come on what are you gonna do about it baby, cry? cryin' baby. Lol okay boys, let's bounce, hey, remember to tell everyone what we did"

    I'm level 4 and I have a nine-mil with like, 20 rounds, I can't take all of them :(

    you do know that there's stuff in some of the houses, like laser rifles and and grenade launchers with ammo, as well as land mines and the such? and that the dude doesn't trigger until you're about 5 feet away?

    It's worth noting that there's one house with a hostile mister gusty that also has an ammo table in it.

    Yeah, Hard/Hardcore is the perfect combination. Not too bullshit and just difficult/pressing enough. VATs not being god mode in NV helps a lot with this. The only complaint I have is that companions cannot handle any difficulty about normal on hardcore. They go down like bitches to the first melee enemy that gets a chunk out of them. I got so frustrated I actually reduced the difficulty to normal and I still have trouble keeping them alive in my various travels. I had to leave Veronica and ED-E at the start of the central tower in Helios One because they would die in seconds.

    So I had a weird glitch happen earlier. I finally started a melee/unarmed character and was doot doot doot leaving goodsprings and got into a fight with some geckos. Victor rolls on up after the battle, and I was expecting his usual "IT IS DANGEROUS OUT HERE!!!" speech.

    Instead he is just standing there. So I go over to him, and boomp

    Companion wheel pops up.

    I check his inventory, take out some 9mm ammo he has, try to get him to follow me to no response. Try a few other commands and nothing, eventually talk to him and he gives me the usual speech, then buggers off.

    I kinda' think that right up until the last minute they might have been planning on making Victor one of your companions. I really like him too, so that would've been awesome :<

    This happened to me as well, I found a camp of dead fiends and turned to leave and he just popped up, initiated all his old dialog and sat there
    talked again and companion wheel came up
