Deathclaw may have the upper ground.. But I've got the sniper!
Deathclaw got wings!
Combat craziness, or, a whole lotta viper bandits:Using the Increased Wasteland Spawns mod on VH, I've apparently reached Boone & I's upper limits as a bold frontal-attack (no distant sniping) team. Just turned lvl 9, both of us using 10mm pistols. Thought I'd hit that Viper bandit spot just before Novac again. With the mod they now carry .44's, 10mm submachine guns, and lots of grenades but hey, they still have poor armor, plus I have BOONE, and we'd already taken out big groups of them before....

Screenie's can't capture the pure chaos (explosions, noise, frantic real-time firing) and maybe I'm nuts but I love it. Reloaded a few times, gave up on the 10mm's. Strong vanilla or slightly modded weapon combos did work (still frontal attacks, no distance sniping), but largely by http://crimsonkeep.com/wallpapers/data/media/33/falloutNV-841b.jpg Even then, sometimes the grenades would kill me if I didn't see/hear them in time.
During one reload, http://crimsonkeep.com/wallpapers/data/media/33/falloutNV-856a.jpg to hide/cower behind Boone & myself - that was so poignant/funny.
Time to grab Arcade, need extra bait...er I mean firepower...to do it again. Want to kill more than 3 or 5 myself...

And yes I could sneak/snipe, but that's no fun anymore....heh
