Why are you guys beating fo nv in 5 or even 25hrs. You just cheated yourself of over 200 hrs of game play. My first guy is sitting there waiting for HH with 264hrs. My second guy is at 74.
That's pretty easy - Because I'm not a crawler. As in I'm not the kind of person who needs to see every single cave, every single detail or every single npc to enjoy a game. At the same time I don't rush through a game. I played through New Vegas the first time around following the main story, but, branching off at every new town to explore everything around it, do all the side quests and find new side quests - However, I was also smart enough to have a save right before the President so I could continue business as usual whenever I wanted to do more exploring, which I occasionally do.
I don't like to think I rushed through Honest Hearts, I wanted it to last, I did every conceivable side-quest possible and trolled through many of the optional locations. But no, I did not get a 100% map reveal because in my experience a lot of unexplored areas are just empty space with little houses filled with nothing.
