Line 10:
'''Courier:''' Death to tyrants! <Start combat.>
'''Caesar:''' Praetorians! To arms! }}
* It takes a fair bit of effort, but - get every major unique weapon in the game. Equip them all (comes to about 215 pounds). Equip the Prototype stealth suit so you don't have to worry about health. Convince the Brotherhood, the Boomers and the Remnants to back the NCR in Hoover dam, and then begin For the Republic. The Legion truly have no idea what they are fucking with.
* The entirety of ''No Gods, No Masters''.
* The Second Battle of Hoover Dam is filled with these, and many of them are a direct result of the player's actions. This includes:
Line 53:
*** Insert another headshot.
**** Even better is if he is already dead, another Frumentariius called Alerio gives you the mark of Caesar, specifically mentioning that you are forgiven for killing Inculta, [[Too Dumb to Live|without realising this might not have been a one-time thing]]. Cue shotgun to the back of the head. You gave me cause, Profligate.
* Terrifying Presence pulls so many of these off it's amazing, even if it is criminally underused.
** If you tell Veronica to defect from the BOS and join the Followers, the Paladins that have been harassing you though her quest show up, murder the Followers doctors and try to pull one on you. What happens next is just pure awesome.
{{quote|'''Paladin''': "In the name of the Codex, I sentence you to death."
Line 97:
** With Old World Blues, add in 'get through the Big Empty and chose not to take your brain, spine or heart back' somewhere before the old Step Six.
* How to create the [[Fist of the North Star|Savior of Century's End]]
** Step One: Create a new character, name him Kenshiro and make him look like Kenshiro.
** Step Two: Acquire a reinforced Gecko-backed leather armor, a ballistic fist or a super-heated Saturnite power fist
** Step Three: Take perks Piercing Strike, Bloody Mess, Purifier, Paralyzing Palm, Ninja, Toughness (twice), Slayer, Implant GRX (twice), Chemist, Light Touch, and Pyromaniac.
** Step Four: Acquire armor, healing implants, and Old World Blues quest Perks.
** Step Five: Gain Lord Death Perk and Day Tripper.
** Step Six: Declare war on the Legion.
** Step Seven: Use Implant GRX to go [[Bullet Time]] on Caesar or Legate Lanius allowing you to ATATATATATATATA until his body explodes.
** Step Eight: Omae wa mou shindeiru. ([[You Are Already Dead]])
Line 108:
**** On the other hand, [http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Two-Step_Goodbye_(GRA) Two-Step Goodbye] can literally make people explode.
* This requires ''Honest Hearts'' but create a character and name him Al Capone. Acquire an appropriate suit and hat. Then head to Zion and acquire a Thompson submachine gun. Next, teach these New Vegas punks a thing or two about the Chicago Way, starting with Benny!
* One of the few actual RPG-boss-like creatures comes in Old World Blues as {{spoiler|the Giant Robo Scorpion.}} You can deal with it one of any ways: you can find the shutdown code nearby and remotely shut it down; you can use the Sonic Emitter to EMP it; you can reconfigure the turrets to attack it for you. [[
** Sounds like you re-enacted ''[[Wasteland (video game)|Wasteland]]'' without realizing it. Which is also awesome.
* In Old World Blues {{spoiler|turning Dr. Klein's cohorts to your side by pulling on their last shreds of humanity, and then have them all turn on him (in hysterical ways) in the final confrontation. [[The Unintelligible|Dr. 8's]] speech is particularly moving, 0's is both awesome and hilarious.}}
Line 134:
* The Evil Mr. House ending says that half the reason he lets you live in the lap of luxury at the Lucky 38 is because he's afraid of you. He controls an unstoppable robot army (which you gave him) and you still scare the crap out of him all by yourself.
* A meta example. JE Sawyer [http://twofoldsilence.diogenes-lamp.info/2012_01_01_archive.html released a mod] that greatly corrects errors in the game, fixes DLC issues, made Hardcore Mode actually hardcore, made the rewards for Dead Money less game-breaking, and added Damage Resistance back to the game for certain armors. ''AFTER'' the game had finished production and they weren't going to continue working on it officially. That's dedication to making sure it runs right.
** Even better, its on version 4. He plans to have Version 5 out by september. Nearly a full year after the game's development ended.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaUvX4jQXjo This YouTube video] has a playthrough that tries to end with diplomacy but ultimately fails due to a speech stat that's a bit too low. They then give Lanius the beating of a lifetime.
* 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.
