LOL

I agree

stimpacks are now very valuable use with extreme moderation and since food heals you AND fills you up carrying some fancy lad snacks is a good thing

Oh come on.. it's fun! :fallout:

That deathclaw? You know it's dead when it's tail stops twitching.

You? You know you're dead when you can hear your shottie going 'click click click'.

Something is wrong with your tip...
You know YOU are dead when your combat shotgun's empty.

frustrated because you starved to death? playhttp://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp and make a giant castle from scratch

turn off your pipboy light

Fixed. Better?

Always remember, you need different guns for different situations.
Carry always a knife for close quarters combat.
A shotgun for mid-range enemies.
A rifle for enemies that are far away. (Not necessary if you are carrying slug shot ammo for your shotgun)
Instead of a rifle in case you have slug shot, carry a pistol.

I'm certainly going to do alot more:
Scouting
Talking.

In FO3 runnin-n-gunnin was almost always the easiest and most interesting way of completeing quests. Now that combat and prolonged quests are going to be infinately harder (stims don't insta heal, and you can't heal from sleeping) actually trying to figure out what you'll be up against, or just trying to talk to people will go along way to actually surviving.


I'm really excited for hardcoe because it stresses more of a survival role play rather than a shoot-em-up roleplay, which I feel is closer to Fallout's true path.

hardcoe mode hasn't just added difficulty, it's made just killing people less desireable as the most efficent solution. Actually trying to talk to people and sneaking, and taking care of yourself are better routes.

or put a scope on your 44. magnum (plus a silencer?) every weapon deservers a scope and a silencer

Still not a useful thread IMO since we don't know how the new mode fully work.
Only tips I can think of is: Instead of just checking out a weapon/ammo vendor and a doctor you will also need to stop by a restaurant to stack up on food and water.
Try to remember where bodies of water are in the wasteland.
Try to remember where certain animals are more prone to spawn.

Not so much one can suggest.


Well, people have different perspectives on fun.

There is no shame in drinking from a filthy, feces-filled toilet bowl.

a sneaky high speached survivalist with maxed out guns is a good choice by the looks of it.

Skin Geckos and other animals and sell their hide and meat for profit.

Learn, adapt, improve. If killed, make sure to have back up save files and learn from the mistakes.

If it can't be killed, then just run as fast as possible, heal and try again when you're stronger.

Charging in guns blazing is the sure fire way of a quick death, think tactics, think Sun Tzu and maybe you'll stand a better chance.

Use common sense, it can be a good ally.

or from the Pits river LOL

Broken bones don't set themselves. Carry a DOCTORS BAG unless you think that limp is pimparific.

No, not at all.. just intestinal parasites! YUK! :yuck:

wouldnt it be cool if NPC's sold untanned hides for cheap and you could buy them then sell them tanned?

Crafting is NOT just for grannys and kindergarten kids.

lol u seen how i FO3 some one would randomly be leaning over and you went into vats and like all his body parts are crippled then u realise that that botle cap mine WAS activated

I don't know, it wouldn't quite work. However, if I can use the hide to craft armor and clothes and sell them later then I am happy

Follow the waterways, if any and plan your route according to it.

Plenty of water to stay hydrated and pssible to see waterside communities.

wow thats a beter idea... WAIT!!! buy the hides from the NPC's tan them THEN craft them into amour THEN sell the amour!
