Any Quirks?

Post » Sun Mar 06, 2011 9:43 pm

On the subject of radios.
Turning off every single normal radio, I don't like it when the stations aren't the same so no-one else can listen to different. This makes the Strip terrible for me as I can't turn off the ambient broadcast :(

If the NPC died by Mister Sandman they need to be moved or arranged into a aesthetically pleasing position, which could be anything from a Mojave outpost bar full of dead naked NCR troopers looking drunk, to positioning a broom in an inappropriate manner.

I also always skip Come Fly with Me, I hate that quest, but I'm not sure why. It's not hard, I just don't enjoy doing it.

I can never say mean dialogue to Victor/Any Robot/Any ghoul or No Bark, I will always say mean things to Cliff though and feel bad at his replies.

I have a designated Strange Meat dumpster. I also sell all my drugs to the Followers of the Apocalypse.

Sometimes after I kill people I plant weapons on them to make it look like an accident or suicide. Occasionally I'll stage a murder/suicide.

I have an obsession with cleaning places. Like that cafeteria area in the McCarran Airport. Seriously, it's an inhabited area, how in Gods name do you not notice 30-50 cans and bottles and god knows what else on the floor? :stare:

Did that ONCE. Came back several days later to find...the exact same mess.

I know, right!
For me, I guess it's the flip-side of my having this compulsion to tun on every HAM radio I find. I can't stand the external radios/jukeboxes and turn them off every chance I get.
It was recently pointed out to me that I have a habit of biting my lower lip every time I line up a sniper shot. <_<

My main character has Very Good karma. He will only kill people if they show up red on the radar. Even so, I feel compelled to hide the bodies after a fight. I'll drag everything to an open dumpster or else hide them in a large piece of scrub if outdoors, or if I'm out by the lake I'll toss them in. If I'm indoors I'll dump them all in a closet or bathroom and close the door. It's not so much I'm ashamed of what I did or feel like I've done anything wrong, just feel that decent folks passing by don't need to see stuff like that. :angel:


My character is pretty good, but he has to stop himself from pulling the trigger everytime someone is totally rude to him when they speak to him.
What I collect is pre-war books! I just love the look of them - in such great condition compared to all the other books lying around.

Mine would be i explore/wander in 3rd person only, but to do combat quests i stick to 1st, all the way through


I do this. This also means I have armor which looks best for traveling (in relatively safe areas), armor which is most effective for intense fighting (for more dangerous areas), and New Vegas Pre-War Business duds for the Strip.
I also turn on every Ham radio.
I check with every merchant even if I have everything I need.

But my real quirk is to jump over objects (fences, road barriers, rocks) even when an opening is right in front of me. I also jump down from anywhere low enough not to hurt the character - so halfway down the stairs then - jump. No need walking anywhere when a good jump will do.

I like taking corpses and picking them up and tossing them around or arranging their bodies in weird positions. Especially if the person I killed said something cocky right before dying.

In a similar vein picking up a dead body and "slamming" it into walls or anything is always fun, and what happens if stressed after killing.

For example ... mine is that I am simply compelled to turn on every single Ham radio I come across!
Yeah, I know they don't do a bloody thing but I just can't seem to help myself.

How about you?


I've done that since FO3 and now I'm continuing it in FO:NV - hard habit to break. Also, for reasons that I don't know - I must collect every single teddy bear in the game and put them on my bed..

I'm bound to pick every fruit/vegetables I come by. I have 300+ prickly pear fruits in my Novac refrigerator but I'll gladly cross a saltlake and fight twenty fireants just to get another one.

...oh..., and I'm suffering the 'turn-on-useless-hamradios-sickness' too...

Radios as well.

I collect all the deputy bages and leave them on npc's I killed as a calling card.
I collect vast amounts of food and water, weigh myself down too much, eat the lot and regret it.
I sing aloud to ride of the Valkyries when it comes on in game at the top of my voice.


I usually free roam, roleplay or forget to remove a rival factions uniform PO a faction early on, end up getting killed by psychic bounty hunters with behemoth levels of health an DT, then restart a new character.

Heh, heh ... my friend pointed out that I have a thing for NukaCola trucks.
I started collecting them in FO3 and just sort of kept on in F:NV. I have only found seven so far but they're all over my room at the 38. What's sick is that it takes me forever to get them placed just right.
Man, these games can really drive a person Abby-normal. :fallout:

I don't know how many minutes (hours) of my life have been spent arranging a NukaCola truck or some other object just right in my room. Not so much in New Vegas cuz I really haven't spent much time at the 38 yet, but my place in Megaton in FO3 had a lot of things placed just so. What was really frustrating was knocking something else over trying to place something new and I had to fix that as well.

After I kill a very evil person I like to dismember every body part and then throw his head some where.

Ham radios: On
AM/FM radios: Off
Searches are all sequential. Open room items first then small box, locker, safe.
Doors: Always finish all local area doors before taking any to a named location (ie requires a load screen)
Check every bed to see if I can sleep there.
I'll cross half the map to open a mail box (magazines are my friend)
