Today’s game is New Vegas. I’m cleaning up some things before beating completing the story. Namely achievements so I don’t have to do as many on my next round trip.

This I took when I was going to do the Talent Pool quest in the Ace. I figured it was going to be a quick, 10 minute ordeal. Really easy since I had almost maxed out everything. Only, I forgot that The Tops casino hates me, so I am locked out of the quest as far as I know.

I fought my way into The Aces anyways on the off chance I could start the quest regardless and the room was empty except for a trigger happy barkeep I missed that Rose of Sharon Cassidy (who I also picked up today and is now my new favorite companion) one shot and jump scared me with the sound.

I have 17 achievements left after this before I end the game, one of which I may have to drop since It requires me to get kicked out of all the casinos and just remembered I am still locked out of the Tops. I got what I think is the hardest out of the way (The Warheads achievement) but the Star Bottle Caps quest has me a bit worried. So I may postpone that for whenever I play again.

Cass is great, and a lovely nod to Fallout 2 as well which I loved. She was the first companion designed for F:NV so she wasn't as rushed as all the others. I wish every companion had as much to say as Cass does.

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

She’s got a lot of character which I like. Especially compared to Veronica (my previous favorite because of how her lore ties into Dead Money) I feel like there was a lot of depth to Cass, Especially in her quest.

Did you mod your game?

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nope. Entirely Vanilla. I try to avoid modding until I fully beat the game at least once. Plus I had a headache with Modding Skyrim on my Steam Deck so I try to avoid it now unless I really want a mod

[–] KeefChief13@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

It was not easy to mod, but tbh the majority of available mods are simple bug fixes, lod fixes, and crash prevention mods. I only have one visual, which is just hd textures. So the modded game is really the same but with fewer crashes and less texture popping.

You can create a save before you choose your ending path so you can get all of the achievements without having to start the whole game over

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I considered it (I did the same for Dead Money for both of Elijah’s Achievements) but I’m planning on wrapping my way through again to get achievements for different damage types anyways. I figured doing a unarmed based build would be far easier than going around punching things with 25 in unarmed
