Fallout: New Vegas/Awesome: Difference between revisions

Line 115:

* The Legate Lanius (and the [[Praetorian Guard]]) has always given me trouble at the end. But not after this. True, I had Enclave Power Armor, [[The Remnant|Cannibal Johnson]] and his [[More Dakka|Minigun]], [[Game Breaker|ED-E and Boone]] (in ''[[Power Armor]]'' no less), but those guys are still hard to kill. Except, I had [[Kill Sat|ARCHIMEDES II]]. That softened the old bruiser up. And then there was the [[Holy Hand Grenade|Holy Frag Grenades]] (only available with the Wild Wasteland perk). The first one left Lanius with only two bars left. The second one bounced off the ground in front of him and exploded at about eye-level. I did it in [[Slow Motion|VATS]] too, so I had that nice [[300]] effect going. [[Oh Crap|If only Lanius wasn't wearing that darn helmat, so that I could see the look on his mutilated face.]]

* According to my kid brother, he scored a serious moment of awesome while I was away. He started a new game solely for this, and poured all his S.P.E.C.I.A.L. points into Strength and Endurance, and all his skill points into Melee and Unarmed. He then entered the Legion camp armed with only a shaving razor (or as he put it, a small knife for peeling fruit). Turns out, when I asked him if he actually won, he answered with: [[Blackadder|"YES! THANKS TO MY TRUSTY FRUIT KNIFE!"]]

* Get to the end of the Lonesome Road [[DLC]]. If you can successfully [[Talking the Monster to Death|convince Ulysses to abandon his plan]], then {{spoiler|both you and he will team up in what appears to be a [[Bolivian Army Ending]] when Marked Men come flooding in to the silo to kill you both. That's right, the two Couriers, longtime adversaries, both incredibly strong, resourceful, and skilled, and with a number of incredible heroics under their belts, reach a common ground, and fight together. And win.}}

** Alternatively {{spoiler|[[Omnicidal Maniac|slaying your counterpart, his repair bots, and the Marked Men on your own, then reprogramming the missiles to strike both the NCR and Legion, laughing maniacally all the while]].}}

*** {{spoiler|Even more awesome if you are idolized by NCR and (atleast) liked by Caesar's Legion or vice versa. You are seen as their only hope of winning the Mojave campaign and especially look up to you. [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|Then you unleash nukes upon them.]] ''Suckers''.}}

Line 138:

* Killing the [[Player Punch|Brotherhood of Steel paladins]] using the [[Chekhov's Gun|Pulse Gun]]. You remember when Veronica told you it could destroy your whole Brotherhood, you bastards? Should have paid attention.

* Once you've obtained the Gauss Rifle; put on some good armor, find a deathclaw, wait for it to lunge right over you, target it's head in VATS, and watch that motherfucker fly backwards.

* Another meta example. Do you know how long it takes to make a console/PC video game? Usually companies take ~~2-4~~ years to make sure they get it right. Obsidian was only give... '''''13 months'''''. Factor in that at least 2 months for pre-planning (confirmed by J.E. Sawyer) and at least a month of basic bug testing they made the entire game in '''''TEN MONTHS!!!''''' Very impressive when you realize the scope of the game. On the other hand, a tearjerker for Obsidian as Sawyer let slip that they needed 5 more months to fully flesh out the game: specifically to add the post-game sequences and Legion territory.
