Stupidest things you have done on New Vegas so far... : Fallout: New Vegas

For me, one was fighting the legendary deatclaw with no armor or clothing, on hardcoe, no followers and with just the Dinner Bell for company. It did not end well at all.

Trying to base dive into the river.

Noted. Don't jump into the river from a cliff.

Mine was disarming a landmine and then walking into another landmine. I swear, I should know by now that they're never planted alone.

Yeah definitely constantly walking in to traps. I feel like an idiot when I am sneaking and sweeping for traps and I still manage to trip a couple.

"DeathClaw Alert"
Ignore
Loading Screen comes up.

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:

Where from? Hoover Dam?

Like Falcon noted, a cliff. There are never any 'cliffs over the river' it's always a 'downhill' jump' which just utterly frustrates me >:I

Killing Tabitha at Black Mountain. She is hilarious.

being freaked out by my own companion!!

when you walk into a new area with a narrow corridor at the beginning, sometimes your companion will generate further inside the room in front of you instead of behind you..

i had jsut gotten my 1st companion- and i entered a spooky mineshaft -

it was really dark, then here comes this shadowy figure walking toward me from within the room in front of me-

My girlfriend screamed, "A Monster!"

so i unloaded a few sawed off shotgun blasts at it, then i realized as it walked into the light it was just good ol' Raul the Ghoul!!!!

Raul wasn't too happy about me shooting the crap out of him, let me tell you..

Picking Energy Weapons as my starting characters class.
First playthrough was just frustrating and got boring so even though I had a bunch of side-quests and lots of unexplored locations I just rushed the main quest to be done with it.

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 2:53 pm

Hahaha! Agreed, putting skill points into Energy Weapons was the stupidest thing so far..

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 9:41 pm

I was so excited to see a med kit on the wall that I failed to notice the frag mines in front of it...

Beep*beep*death music*

1- thinking it would be a good idea to walk from the cemetary to New Vegas at level 2

2-forgetting to change out of my +1 luck sixy sleepware before leaving the casino and heading to the desert....those bloat flies hit hard when your in PJ's

going to the I-15 aka Hell

Making Survival a tag perk, putting the game on hardcoe mode, and then turning it off several hours in.

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 12:06 pm

Trying to get through the Deathclaw spot again....and again....and again.

Apparently I thought I could make it JUST THIS TIME, but yeah. >___> If Eliza could speak, she'd be spouting a rant filled with expletives at me now.

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 6:45 pm

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...

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 3:27 pm

early in the game, walked into a certain NCR building that has everyone in it killed later on in the quest chain.

Did not realize that everyone in there was still alive.

Proceeded to do what I'd normally do, make a beeline for the first aid kit on the desk and loot it.

Get blown away from behind almost instantly by an NCR ranger that saw me walk into the building, sprint for his desk and start looting the joint.

Shrugging off those NCR rangers that warn you that you should raise your rep with the NCR within 3 or 4 days, otherwise there'll be trouble. Yeah, that encounter cost me a *lot* of resources.

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 6:40 pm

Also going into Quarry Junction alone thinking I can snipe the deathclaws from a distance. They. Are. Everywhere.

They gave me that warning today. I proceeded to wait until they ran off and blow holes in them my anti-material rifle. :batman:

deciding it would be easier to

Spoiler

blow up hidden valley, because a glitch prevented the first part of the quest from being done

i really regretted it afterward. no power armor :sadvaultboy:
