    This is a little ridiculous.

    I busted my ass to get "Accepted" by the NCR, I get to the strip and get a summons to the ambassador. Then my faction gets reset to neutral, and I'm asked to KILL NCR MEMBERS....absolutely ridiculous.

    It all ended with me getting my faction to NCR reduced to nearly nothing.

    What a kick in the balls.

    I'm a firm supporter of ironicly over the top SCIENCE!! make no mistake.

    Its just, now that I know that plasma is the proper word for the substance fire is made of, seeing Plasma weaponry all over the place in sci-fi anything is just... really... grating. I picked up the incinerator and was halfway expecting them to call it a plasma bolter or something. Not that it isnt exactly what it is, but, you know?

    Especially since in Fallout they treat it as some sort of magic dissolvo-green goo. Not flesh incinerating horror-heat like you'd expect it to be.

    Well I dunno about the ranger combat armor, but there are some really smokin' rags out there in the Mojave.

    As for the killing, you are absolutely free to shoot whichever bits of the plot you do not like.

    ...Apart from the kids.

    But the kids are just kinda there.

    Is there a list that's keeping track of all the mods that work on NV so far?

    If I could ask for just one mod, it would be to improve the fire effects.

    The arsonist in me demands that enemies look charred and blackened after burning for several minutes.

    Well, you certainly CAN do whatever you like, but it is worth noting that some locations you might want to wipe clean off the face of the map could be related to quests. For instance I just stumbled upon the Correctional Facility, and decided it was a Powder Ganger dungeon.

    Turns out its actually the first Evil hub. And trashing it Fails a quest and probably locks you out of a good deal of the Evil path.

    A good rule of thumb is that if it shows up on your map as Neutral or any other status, it's a hub.

    Considering the first shot I fired in this game killed Cobb in a lovely decapitating crit, it really wasnt an option for me.

    I dont stand for none of that intimidating the nice folks bullshit. Nope. Your whole faction will now die. Screaming.

    And sans heads.

    For those wondering, I can confirm that there are quite a few 100 Stat Speech checks in the endgame, at least with the "No Gods, No Kings" path.

    In all seriousness, though, Veronica is awesome. I found some T51-b Power Armour just after I got her, so she's walking around in that with a Power Fist. As it happens, I'm also sporting a Power Fist. So Felicia Day and I are punching our way across the desert together. It's like ... there are no words for how awesome that is.
