Explore the town of Goodsprings talking to the NPCs around the town.I'll do the side quests that I get and then continue with the main quest while exploring the wasteland.

At the very beginning? Talking to Doc Mitchell and Victor to learn as much as I can, then venturing out into Goodsprings to get buddy buddy with Sunny Smiles and do her quest, get dynamite from Easy Pete, and see if there's anything else I can do around town before rounding up a posse to take out the Powder Gangers.

After that? Venturing out into the wasteland, looking for explosives to craft, people to talk to, and Veronica to recruit.

That reminds me.After I finish up the quests in Goodspring I'll go to Novac to recruit Boone.

go the opposite way than my quest compass tells me to go

There's something other than character creation?!

lol, I spend hours planning and creating my characters (10+ on my last FO3 char.)

Try to make my character look like Chuck Noris, then use hand to hand combat and desimate the enemy. Wait, how did the nuclear war happen, the only wepon of true massive destruction was in America! :nuke: (Chuck Norris for those who didnt get that)

Love it, you is a true rebel my friend. Now im going to get a cookie, want one? :cookie:

I'm going to do quests.

Agreed about Veronica... She could be useful, but she will be nice to have tagging with me. :hubbahubba:

I'll see exactly how much motivation is given for my character to go on the main quest, if it's like, "oh my god your shot in the head and you totally have to find them or else they will find you and kill you oh my god" then I will do the main quest until a point comes around where I can take a break and do side quests.

First I'll help out with the gang, then probably hunt some geckos to sell the hides for cash to buy better supplies before i head out into the wasteland.

1st playthrough: Loot, and burn Goodsprings, then find the Caesars Leigion.


2nd playthrough: Get into Vegas, and sign up for the Omerta


3rd playthrough: JOIN THE BoS!!!

TOO MANY POSSIABLITIES, *ZAX combustion*
Mr.House: Another one of my clones destroyed at the awesomeness that is New Vegas. Censored.

Same here. I'll just spend ages examining the immediate area. Drinking it all in. Savouring it. Loving it.
