Line 155:
** {{spoiler|Your choices matter far more than in the main game. Elijah ''will'' kill you if you mouth off to him even a little, and whether or not Dean and Christine betray you is determined by your choices throughout your time with them, not simply during your final dealings with them as you may be used to.}}
** Companions aren't expendable. {{spoiler|If they die, you die due to linked bomb collars. Their contribution in battle is also important due to your limited ammo.}}
* [[Genre Blindness]]: Dr. Hildern, director of the eastern NCR Office of Science and Industry exhibits this: when telling him about the potential dangers (meaning here a disease that would make feral ghouls look harmless) of data you recovered, he puts you off saying that they are the goverment, not some insane vault alchimists. Seeing how the world of Fallout follows the rules of 50's B-Movies ([[Big Creepy-Crawlies|radiation turns scorpions giant]],[[The Day of the Triffids|and genetic engineering turns venus flytraps into semi-animalic hunters]]) you can pretty much except that some experiment based on that data will soon wreak havoc in an NCR-facility near you!
* [[Goddamn Bats]]: Geckos, coyotes, rats, giant mantises, small radscorpions/bark scorpions (thanks to their venom), etc. Also, Cazadors at higher difficulties. They can't do much damage to a hulking player character rapped in power armor and carrying a plasma caster, but they move around lightning fast, close in on you in seconds, are almost impossible to hit outside of V.A.T.S., [[Good Bad Bugs|have a bug that prevents from targeting their heads ''in'' V.A.T.S]], come in groups, and poison you, forcing you to waste Antivenom and stimpaks.
** Goddamn ''Tunnelers'' from the ''Lonesome Road'' DLC. {{spoiler|They have incredible strength, attack in packs, can crawl on the walls and cielings, can pop out of the ground beneath you, and take a lot of punishment. If you get surrounded, you're screwed. Even by using their weakness of the flaregun, they only panic for a short while and run away from you, forcing you to chase them so you can use the small window of opportunity to kill them. Oh, and they're found in small cramped tunnels with minimal running room.}} [[Sarcasm Mode|Have fun]].
