  • There are a lot of ways to make Fallout New Vegas more difficult. You could make it so you perish from taking any damage, you could force yourself to use horrible weapons, you could even only move backwards to get around the world. But what if you wanted to use what the developers intended to make it more difficult? Can You Beat Fallout: New Vegas’s Hardcore Mode Without Eating, Drinking, or Sleeping?

    Can You Beat Fallout: New Vegas’s Hardcore Mode Without Eating, Drinking, or Sleeping? (in text form)
    First, some housekeeping. Any time I start a new playthrough in New Vegas, I’ll get the opening shots for my beginning-of-the-playthrough spiel, then I’ll reload a save I made early last year. I do this because of one of the mods I use: Project Nevada, which you can think of as a base level mod that has things hundreds and thousands of other mods use and require. This mod allows you to change a bunch of different settings, spawn rates for ammo, your hit points based on your Endurance skill, your run speed when a weapon is equipped, almost anything. But I prefer the default New Vegas settings. So rather than reset everything manually every time, I load an old save, use a console command to change my name and my character’s, and go on as if nothing happened. That’s why my characters always look generic.
    That’s it, the curtain is closed, back to the game, I went all-in on what you’d expect me to for SPECIAL Stats. Luck is high because I can hear the roulette tables calling me from here, Charisma is a dump stat as always, and the rest are just there. Skills are Speech, Repair, and Medicine. Traits are Skilled to boost all stats and Trigger Discipline to make gunshots more likely to not miss. Right now, time is of the essence. In Hardcore mode, you must keep track of your drinking, eating, and sleeping if you want to survive. It’s a fairly basic system, there’s a tracker in your Pip-Boy just like you’d see for radiation. Once any of the four, Radiation, Sleep, Hydration, or Food reach 1000, you end. Radiation isn’t really an issue in this run but it’s still there. Sleep increases by 1 point every 50 seconds. Food increases twice as fast, at 1 point every 25 seconds. Then there’s Hydration that increase by 1 point every 10 seconds. Now what does that mean? It means that because I cannot sleep or consume liquid sustenance in-game, I only have 10,000 seconds of playtime to beat Fallout New Vegas or else I end. That’s 166 minutes, or 2 hours and 46 minutes to beat the game. That’s not a lot of time at all.
    Thankfully, as anyone who dreads person to person interaction will be able to tell you, time itself seems to slow down when you’re trying to think of a way to respond after someone says something. So that 10,000 seconds thing doesn’t include dialog or when you’re in your Pip-Boy. I dropped the Vault 13 canteen, and nm first stop in the race against the clock was Cazador Canyon to discover the Great Khans early. That was a mistake, a boo boo if you will, because there was no reason why I had to do this now. I could’ve easily fast-traveled to Goodsprings after I got myself a bunch of weapons and Stimpaks and made the journey wrapped in the safety of my own arms. Cazadors stung me a couple times, I reloaded a quicksave after most of them, any damage has the potential to be a problem. I also got a surprise hug from a Deathclaw. It managed to swipe at my bottom a few times as I expertly bobbed and weaved around the rocks while pbottoming through a Viper camp who would distract themselves from me with the monster. That worked out for the most part.

    Pro tip: the hunger, thirst, and exhaustion meters still increase when you fast travel. Unsurprising, since time passes during fast travel as though you had walked in a straight line between the two points. If you want to do a hardcore speedrun like this, you usually need to plan a route to avoid fast travelling more than a few times.

      fast travel time is calculated as moving in a strait line from where you are to where your going at walking speed. so generally manually running everywhere will take less time. a few exceptions would be if you fast traveled from remenents bunker to redrock drug lab as you would fast travel in a strait line about 100m , but to run around the mountain is about a 2km trip.

Honestly the only way to really do this challenge with ease is to just completely plan out your trip ahead of time so that it’s basically one line, and not fast travel unless it’s truly necessary.

    It never occurred to me before to mention that as a child, I'd taken on the challenge of beating Fallout 2 but also as many areas' questlines as possible to some conclusion without killing a single character. "Killing" being that a kill is added to your character sheet's Kill tab, not that I didn't kill plenty of people.
    The "Bid Bad Boss" final boss would always be added to the tally upon game completion.
    But you could do a remarkable amount of Fallout 2's content through dialogue options or non-combat sabotage the game had around for sneaky players to utilize. More than that though, you could kill friendly NPCs without hostility or a Kill tally by feeding them a huge number of Super Stimpacks and then resting to pass a lot of time at once. The game would then dump all the Super Stimpacks' negative side effect damage in a bundle that could kill healable characters but not count as a "kill". After all, all you did was feed them healing chems. It's not really your fault they overdosed on your healing medicine.
    I feel like the 3D games in the series offer far less in terms of ways to progress quests in the game in creative ways like that which also don't break the game.

      @jaeusa160 4 года назад

      As I had reflected upon my childhood challenge of beating Fallout 2 without killing anyone, I'm going to go with an easy Yes unless I'm forgetting something. You can avoid all combat scenarios in some fashion, so at that point it just becomes not setting off traps, and not aggroing things which damage you before escaping them. You should also be able to complete at least some ending for the main quests of each of the locations.
      And this would be even easier because you would be allowed to engage in very one-sided sniping combat.
      The very start would require some resets to avoid the critters. Random travel encounters would probably take some resets as well. But I'm sure you could just do a high Perception+Agility sniper build and quickly be able to take on small engagements by crippling enemies.

    When you fast travel, the time of NV moves on too. So if it's night, it might be morning when you arrive. Gives the illusion that your character walked there rather than teleported. So that affects your Food/Sleep/Water levels. I'm not sure, but I think that fast travel tends to up the score more than manually walking somewhere in most cases, but that's based off rough memory from a gamemode I haven't played in a year.

    Dude I love your channel so much. I know you probably don't take recommendations from your comments but it would be awesome if you considered doing a challenge run in Dragon's Dogma. The Pawns don't level up, so a good one to consider would be to try and beat the game with the tutorial pawn That stays at like level 6.

    FO:NV did hardcore the right way - by decoupling it from combat difficulty.
    I really want to play hardcore on FO4, but I don't want to have to put up with being one-shotted by raiders with pipe guns. I wish they didn't throw it in with the combat difficulties, because it isn't one.

    Was about to sleep. Guess I'll stay awake for 14 minutes and 52 seconds more.

    Hey I remember from fallout 4 survival mode that meds increase thirst specifically stimpacks, presumably that applies to NV also ? Reached the point in my runs where you just carried 40-50 bottles of water rather than using meds (par damaged limbs) Anyway good as usual Paul :) good to see you a little happier ( I think!? )

    Yknow I would be intersted to see a mitten squad video on the stanley parable with all its endings. I know its not the typical game but i feel like there would be some hilarity to that
