I'm sorry, I didn't know you could even hook a commodore 64 up to the internet.

And what exactly is your 'above-par' system then?

Beat the game with T.R., completing nearly all the side quests, or at least nearly all the ones that I know of.

Started a new Hardcore mode game. I don't have the achievements for winning as Caesar's Legion, assassinating the NCR president, dealing 10,000 melee damage, pickpocketing 50 people, or completing a Hardcore game so I figured I'd knock all of those out in one fell swoop. Here are the stats for the character I made:

S - 8
P - 6
E - 9
C - 1
I - 7
A - 8
L - 1

Should be fun. So far the sleep, food, and water meters haven't been a problem. I'm mostly worried about limb damage only being fixable with doctor's bags or paying a doctor. Since I'm playing with a melee character ammo having weight shouldn't be a problem. It's actually good; another source of income. On my other characters I tend to pack rat tons of types of ammo that I never actually use. Now I just unload it on vendors.

So stimpacks can't heal limbs in hardcore? That could be tricky.

Stimpaks also don't heal instantly. They have a heal-over-time effect like food and water have.

Some Brit decided to go on holiday to the Las Vegas area to do a tour of locations that are in the game and compare them.

Conquered the land in the name of Caesar and his Legion. Praise Mars! Vegas ran red with the blood of the profligates.

The NCR's General Lee Oliver was actually absurdly easy to beat. For fighting Legate Lanius I always set up a companion as a diversion and covered the ground in C4 to cut a chunk of his health down and sniped away the rest while he limped towards me. General Oliver just took two slashes with my knife, and neither was a sneak attack.

The hardest part of the final battle as Legion was the approach through General Oliver's bunker. His bodyguard unit of veteran rangers were equipped with Anti-materiel rifles, were heavily armored, and spread out on randomized patrol through a cubicle maze with the ground littered in mines and shotgun-rigged tripcords. Actually died on the first attempt when a veteran ranger on the opposite side of the long room killed me in one-shot when I was at 75-80% health.

Hardcore mode wasn't too hard. Netted me 100 achievement points. It was the most difficult at the very beginning when you're broke and probably don't have any doctor's bags to heal your damaged limbs. By the time you reach Novac though you're pretty set. Should have enough caps rolling in to keep up a good reservoir of doctor's bags by that point. Stimpaks not healing instantly was mostly just a nuisance. Just pick up all the cactus fruit and animal meat you find. When you get hurt eat a dozen things at one time, pop a stimpak, drink some water, etc and your health will shoot up. Food, water, and sleep meters were nearly meaningless. If you're following the above advice and collecting all the cactus fruit you find along the way then you'll have plenty available to keep the meters in check. Sleeping is also easy enough to fix and can be temporarily alleviated if it pops up in the middle of a battle by chewing some tobacco or drinking some alcohol.

It may have helped that I really stacked my S.P.E.C.I.A.L. and stats to make hardcore easier. Huge amounts of strength to lug around a fridge's worth of food and water, huge amounts of endurance to shrug off hits and increase HP, stacked survival to increase the healing of food and water, stacked sneak to make it easier to attack from stealth and not have to deal with enemies, played a melee character to not have to worry about ammunition having weight, and picked up all the damage resistance perks and implants.

Also, it looks like the patch that comes out probably tomorrow has Honest Heart's achievements tucked inside of it. Means the DLC is probably really close now.

Nicely done. I need to try hardcore mode sometime, maybe I should buy the game. :)

I discovered that the Rad Child perk is very useful, if not really overpowered. It lets you heal 2pts of health every second for each stage of radiation you are experiencing. So at 800 rads, although you will have some negative stat effects, you heal 8hp every second. Pair that with Solar Powered (Str +2 Hp +2/second) and the regeneration implant, plus ten strength and endurance - you have a character that is near impossible to kill.
I did this with my new melee character who's running around with a bumper sword. I also have the knockdown perk which knocks enemies over, which makes for some awesome fights. Because the bumper sword has such a wide swing, I can send multiple enemies flying, sometimes really high so they take fall damage, or off a cliff.
So yeah, good fun.

Not really. Meeting him is one of the first things that happens. He's also the cover art of the DLC in the marketplace.

I've always wondered what would happen if you stacked all of those, plus boosted DT.

Fucking NCR Rangers with anti-materiel rifles would probably still tear holes through you. What faction are you joining?
