People have been talking about peaceful ways to beat FNV saying they will do a pacifist run but thats not much fun is it? nor is it challenging i think it would be much harder to walk the line so i would like to say i will complete a playthrough of FNV when it comes out. i will see if i can complete an entire playthrough only reloading 20 time's if anyone would like to partake in this challenge with me please make a post and tell me how you will do it what kind of build you will use etc.


RULES

each melee hit counts as a half of a reload
Explosive's count as two reloads regardless if they reload or not
completing the game entails that you reach the end of the main story.



If anyone thinks they think they can do it in less reloads go ahead but if you play the entire game as a pacifist this challenge would not be applicable.
so who ever can make it in the least amount of reloads while still killing a good sum of people will be the winner.

The typo in the description is terrible XD

How many reloads does luring a deathclaw into a defenseless town cost? What do we count? Number of dead less the reloads? If you want a real challange play DID.

Well at least your idea is creative but I don't understand it and what I think I understand I don't like.
I'm just going to roleplay after my first character.
The first 2 roles won't even finish the game.
They have a different goal I've set up for them.

So challenges like this will have to wait until I've tried out all my roles I've set ut.

So you will only reload 20 times? and punching counts? So basically its a pacifist run after the first few kills?

Depends on the size of the mag.

Hahahaha... you have fun with that.

I think it's more of a realistic pacifist run goal. I think it's simply a goal that you can try to achieve. I do think each melee attack counting as a reload is a bit excessive but meh... Even true pacifists must shoot someone in the face from time to time. Some people simply cannot be avoided and will not be reasoned with. Of course you focus on the non combat skills as your primary skill set, but when those fail, you shove your shotgun under their chin and blow their head off. I think however wild animals should not count toward your pacifist goals since wild animals are going to try to eat you regardless of how well you can talk your way out of situations with other people.

Animal friend + Boone = Pacifist without having to lift a finger even at hostile encounters.
Really, you don't have to engage any enemy, just let your companion do it but remember to heal him and support him.

I think it's very possible to complete the entire game with most if not all sidequests without ever pressing the RT or left mouse button.

Whats the point?

With all price-tags having a 9 on the end IRL?

It makes sense if you've ever worked in retail or selling anything.

If you put something inront of someone that cost 8.00 and something that costs 7.99 people will always buy the thing that is 7.99.

You're looking at the wrong number, the number INFRONT of the decimal is what people see - any subsequent numbers are ignored.

What's the point of roleplaying?

It is within the answer is my young padawan :laugh:

Ok, what about the recharger rifle? How would that work?

I'm at a loss for words here.

How is limiting yourself to 20 reloads playing a role?
It seems the opposite of playing a role to me.

If you put yourself in the soddy shoes of a fallout universe survivor, under what conditions would you limit yourself to 20 reloads for you entire 'life'... considering that you are capable and have the ammo to reload more than 20 times?


@ Gabriel77dan

Why are you at a loss for words?

Not discussing it here on this forum.

:banghead:
That's not what I was implying lol

What I was trying to imply is that there is no point and the only reason ppl do things such as the above and roleplaying is solely for personal satisfaction, fun.
:tops:

From what we know at this time. Mr Sawyer states in the second Dev Diary that it doesnt require ammo, but it takes time to recharge. So you can't just fire with an infinite clip, you have to strategically use each shot.

Sounds like a terrible idea to me, but don't let that stop you from having fun!

But it never RELOADS.... Right? So I can use that throughout this playthru and not consume any of my 20 reloads, correct?

Hmm...
Fire almost the entire mag/clip, unequip weapon, equip weapon, fire almost the entire mag/clip, unequip weapon, equip weapon, repeat.
There, never reload. >_>

Think i'll stick with my Scavenger/hoarder Roleplay...

Think along the lines of the Book of Eli. He didn't want to fight, but sometimes it was unavoidable. So, throw some challenge in there and limit how many times you can reload and its basically a personal achievement. It doesn't get you anything other then a little bit of personal satisfaction, nothing more.

That right there is one aspect of role playing.


I don't think you are supposed to try and break the shiny new toy, but rather accept it and use reasonable judgement on how you properly play with it. Just because you can break it doesn't mean you should.

Personally I wont be doing this, simply because I am not a pacifist. I kill those who try and kill me, no matter the cost, no matter how far I have to chase them down.

Everytime last date of april most of sweden celebrates for some reason with fire-works.
I used to play with fireworks and toys all the time when I was younger on that date.

I think a "no kill" playthough where you can use non-lethal weapons is a bit more feasible than a pure pacifist playthough.

As a pure pacifist, I suppose you can limit your "reloads" and shoot out guns and limbs with normally lethal weapons to slow your adversaries down, but if you actually make a kill using your limited reloads, the whole pacifist thing gets thrown out the window and you are now a killer... =p
