Getting Cass killed during her quest just to get a cool looking armor that I could get really easily.

Shooting the president of the NCR with the anti-material rifle.
I was pressing the VATS button to get a closer look at him, when all of a sudden *Click* his head flies off and now I am a straggler running away from every NCR camp.
Fantastic waste of resources.

Trying to take on some radscorpions that were minding their own business in the desert when I was about level 2, I hadn't counted on them being chaperoned by an angry giant radscorpion who proceeded to chase me back up the highway towards Primm. No amount of med-X and backpedal-firing could save me from that monster.

The stupidest thing I have done in New Vegas is...
***This may be a spoiler***
I killed Old Lady Gibson and now I can't upgrade my ED-E, so I got a low armor weak laser shooting robot that's only good use to to spot off enemies from an increased distance.
But atleast I got her BIG BOOOMMAH! :gun:

Throwing a holy hand grenade at some powder gangers with the loose cannon trait and the splash damage perk, I've never been killed with a grenade that landed so dang far away before.....

Shot one of the Boomers inside Nellis. That ended well.

Took Boone to Cottowood Cove, loaded the boat, murdered the Legion, then charge inside Caesar's tent with a .357 Magnum. At level 12. That ended well.

Had a bad reputation in Freeside and went inside the Old Mormon Fort trying to recruit a ghoul cowboy prosttute. At level 9. That ended well.

Was in the Thorn. Wagered 20 caps on the deathclaws versus the giant radscorpions. They charged, then just stood there and stared at each other for a good 2 minutes straight. So I shot one of the giant radscorpions. That ended well.

Heading to mojave outpost and I see a small gas station off to the side on day of the release. Figured I could do a little scavenging there so I started walking that way. Noticed a couple red blips on the map and figured it was powder gangers/vipers since that's about all I had encoutered other than geckos and I could tell what they were by the sound they made, so didn't think nothing of it.

Suddenly, radscorpions. I didn't die but I used up all my 9mm ammo and most of my 5.56 trying to survive..

I thought I could make it from Goodsprings to New Vegas by sneaking past the deathclaws... At level 2.

I ran into Caesar's tent after taking out Cottonwood because I thought well, I don't know what I was thinking. :sadvaultboy:

I saw a cazadore for the first time and thought "It's just a bug." so I shot at it with my best gun - the 9mm...

I tried to frag mine a Mr. Gutsy.

Getting crippled by a mine that was (very obviously) hidden under a street cone, making me limp all the way to Novac......... 2 playthroughs in a row :sadvaultboy:


Look up "Greg Jennings Broken Leg" on youtube. Bad language so i won't link it.

Walking through a bunch of mines forgetting that my tred lightly perk was on my F3 character....followed up after the reload by stepping through a booby trapped door...


Still trying to relearn spotting traps. I'm so used to having that perk that I am still surprised every time that little Vault Boy looses his limbs.


I tossed a Holy hand grenade at a Radscorp Queen in VATS...

At about level 4, I followed a "Lottery Winner" from Nipton into the desert, and the welcoming arms of a Giant Radscorpion. I was stranded on a crashed plane for about 30 minutes trying to plink it to death with a varmint rifle. I finally made a run for it and lucked across a brave Viper Gunslinger who distracted it by going HTH. Let's just say I used a lot of dynamite, stimpaks, and ran around in circles for a long time.

jesus...so far? probably the stupidest thing was walking into one of those houses in Nipton that had three bark scorpions in a cage, two shotgun traps, and a couple of frag mines laying around. walked into the kitchen, set off the shotgun and mine ,and im alive. walk into the next room on edge, thinking im good, nope. shotgun blasts me. walk into the bathroom, realizing ive just stepped on a pressure plate and then on another mine in the bathroom, death music, and the bark scorpions run to my corpse and dance upon it. should've known better...

tried infiltrating the legion fort wearing a legion recruit armor costume, whilst having a vilified reputation with them. that was smart...

Deathclaw hunting at Quarry Junction, then getting the [censored] balls scared off of me by a nightkin on Black Mountain shortly thereafter, with my friend over watching and him also getting scared [censored]less. that was just more funny than WTH was i thinking...

most recently, accidentally stumbling upon Dead Wind Cavern on my third character and almost dying at the hands of three Deathclaws. thankfully, that didnt turn into a courier meat platter with failsauce at level 7 XD

in addition, running into cazadors...thats always a stupid thing. anyone else think theyre overpowered?
