I always play a "no bullshit" character in Fallout. Anyone who irritates me enough I just shoot. Makes for an interesting playthrough and I don't have to put up with crap from anyone, so it's pretty cathartic.
+General Rommel I doubt I'd know much to tell you. I usually just follow the instructions I'm given. I haven't played New Vegas in a while and I didn't use any mods last time (was just glad to have the GOTY version to play for once). All the script-extenders are supposed to be quite simple to get working, though. I can direct you towards Gopher, though. He's huge in the Bethesda modding community. He made a very good guide for installing mods in Skyrim, as well as his own mod manager (with assistance from others, I believe) that doesn't impact files. For New Vegas, he may not have quite as much, but he does have a mod guide. I would recommend deleting and starting from scratch, but you can also just find where you started having problems and continue from there.

Yeah I guess it’s the equivalent of going into a casino getting really lucky at the poker table and asking for your winnings in change rather than bills.

Actually playing a high luck low intelligence character at the moment. His nickname should be "Dumb Luck" or something because Blackjack has never been easier.
Get high luck and high intelligence. Use the luck to get money by gambling, get rich and get implants to balance all the other stats. Thanks to high intelligence you get tons of points to max out your character, and thanks to the money you got by gambling, you can get the best equipment aswell. Now you've got the best weapons and armor, the best stats _and_ you deal tons of critical damage thanks to high luck. It's basically godmode.
Bill Cipher High intelligence is a waste, you can max all skills easily even with lackluster intelligence at level 50 (forgot the exact number, think it was int 4 or 5). Plus, some of those skills are useless anyway as you will probably only have 1 main skill be it unarmed, melee, guns, maybe explosives as a supplement. Better to get endurance as it allows you to add 1 to all skills through implants. Actually, now that I think about it, SPECIAL is pretty useless in this game besides Agility and Luck and Endurance, Perception is only needed for the perks since it doesn’t affect VATS like it says it does, (only the useless radar) strength only really affects carry weight and not melee damage like it says it does and plus it can be increased by a lot during the game and Intelligence is not needed much so long as you have all DLC. Wow.
Each casino has a limit. for the 10k limit the best way is to win 9999 then go to the roulette wheel with luck 10 and play one number for the 36x pay out. Dont drop below 9k caps after a few losses. you can get ~17k from there and about 7k over each casino's limit.
"I've never seen so many coin-flips land on edge before!" "You have been banned from gambling at this casino." "Ice cream." Yeah, that's my character, alright. And he looked like David Hasselhoff too.
Step 1: Cut into every stat except luck. Set luck to 10. Step 2: Get to the strip at level 5 with nothing but a 9mm and a varmint rifle. Step 3: Quicksave during the gambling session. Step 4: Win all the caps. Step 5: Destroy the gun runners with caps. Step 6: Shoot lanius with the anti-materiel rifle and get a random crit. Step 7: Win the vidjya gaem
I'll bet you're the kind of person who buys expensive wine, chugs the entire bottle in fifteen minutes, and brags about what a fantastic sommelier you are.
First FoNv playthrough and that's exactly what I am doing right now. Just got kicked out of my first casino, almost no combat skills whatsoever but whatevs i'm blowing everything up with all my awesome equipment and the plentiful ammo I have. LOL
Crits are a good enough reason to aim for 10 Luck, there's a limited number of ways to improve critical chance/damage but taking them all makes Very Hard a walk in the park

Luck in fallout 4 is only for having fun with VATS. Luck in NV actually meant something. It would even lessen the chance of enemies getting critical hits on you or crippling you
The 40,000+ caps you can earn from Freeside and the Strip are already enough to break the game. You can buy all the SPECIAL implants plus sub-dermal armor and the (underpowered) regenerative ability for a total of 48,000 caps (assuming you have Endurance 9, of course; lower END levels mean fewer implants), and the Anti-Materiel Rifle is roughly another 8,000. Between the gambling wins and just the money you make questing/looting, you're pretty much sorted for the rest of the game at that point.
I use the AMR as a specialist's weapon for one purpose and one purpose only: Deathclaw hunting. Quarry Junction for Chomps Lewis, the slope outside Vault 19 for the Khans, and the quarry near Camp Golf to open the road between Outer Vegas and Callville Bay/Bitter Springs.

Also for hunting the legendary monsters too xD cause fighting the legendary fire gecko with my ballistic fist was fun, but it ended in us literally killing each other at the same punch
I know what makes me love fnv, it felt like you had the most control over your character. Basically no background before game, you have vague dialogue options you can choose that shed some light on your past. The reputation factor (wish karma was a stronger effect though,) you cant please everyone so it made it feel more personal of an experience. The perks were of greater variety (you find some in the game from actions, some are granted from leveling up, some perks can be purchased for dollar dollar bills, and implants that directly effect your SPECIAL stats.). The DLCs were brimming with lore, backstory, history, and mystery of areas you have not delved into. The only weak points for New Vegas to me was the rushed content on Caesars side (felt parts were missing), the shooting mechanics, and the lackluster of New Vegas itself. PS= Dead Money and Lonesome Road are my favorite parts of the game as a whole. Dead Money executed the heist-horror-survival atmosphere in spades. Lonesome Road felt like your characters final path to travel in the game and in the story. Every small detail you paid attention to boils down to confronring this Courier with a cryptic past and connection to you.
What you also have to consider is the opening. When you first start up the game, your a courier who gets shot in the head. This essentially does three things. One, it gives the player a motivation on both sides of the spectrum (whether good or evil.) Two, it gives the player a blank slate to work with. This is *your* character to do what *you* want with. 3. You get to imagine the past of your own character and how they got into this situation in the first place, you just have to add it up too how they became a courier. This game is great for making characters because of how little they limit your ability to be *you*.
The courier has more backstory than almost every other main character in the franchise. Saying there's almost no backstory greatly implies you've never actually played the game.
@@Riley_Mundt But I think the point is, they don't expressly DEMONSTRATE your backstory through visual medium, and that sort of allows you to "imagine" your past experiences the way you WANT them to be imagined. For example, I made a "brute" character with high strength and low intelligence, so I used the "Tribal Pack" DLC to make it seem like he was a tribal before he got a job as a courier; then I made up a backstory for myself, where my character killed the REAL courier and took the chip because it was "shiny", then got ambushed and killed again, at which point he realized the chip must've been cursed, but it must hold some sort of powerful "magic" to make people fight so desperately for it. It's more or less a blank slate that I can fabricate 90% of the details for myself.
I always get like 9500 in a casino then bet max on 00 in roulette. 10 luck and a nice save before the roulette turn, and you get 35:1 return leaving the casino with like 16k total. do that everywhere you can and its glorious haha.
Really? My brother has 10 Luck and we spent ALL FUCKIN' DAY at the Wrangler, ONE CAP FROM BREAKING, betting on the 35:1, and NOTHING. It'll happen eventually but holy fuck it should have happened by now.
Luck and Charisma is useless in New Vegas. Luck is only good for Crits and VATS plus gambling and Charisma is only good for companion combat ability which if you're not playing hardcore doesn't matter and you can easily point up to 100 speech.
@@Seriona1 You forget luck also affects each of stats giving you a slight boost to all skills (speech barter, sneak, etc) and loot and amount you find; as for charisma i should of clarified better as to include each of the skills it affects especially on survival where as the Lanius/Oliver is a very difficult fight even at max level
i lost all my money doing this. I ended up just selling armor and weapons at the gun runner shop to get wealthy again. Its safe to say I should not decide to gamble for profit in real life.
It's a bit of a waste to go above 6 (for Local Leader) in FO4; wearing Reginald's Suit, a trilby hat, and Black-Rim Glasses gets you up to 11, which is the level required to guarantee passing Red speech checks (you need 9 for yellow and 10 for orange to reach 100% success chance; the formula is CHA*15%-"speech value", which is 35/50/65 for Y/O/R.) You can also use stuff like Grape Mentats, various forms of alcohol, or the Day Tripper or X-Cell chems to temporarily boost your charisma. The effects on barter prices max out at CHA 16 (lower if you've got the bobblehead, ranks of Cap Collector, or Junktown Jerky magazine issues), but really, you should have more loot than you can sell even if you have stores set up at your settlements, and once you've got your main equipment loadout, caps are kind of useless at that point.
Fox D tbh, I always max special stats (except for ones I don't care about) and get the best rank 10 perks, along with stimpak, lockpick, and terminal hacking.
Sounds like you level up your characters far beyond the point where I usually retire mine (mid-50s to low 60s level-wise) to be able to do all that perking up. Maxing SPECIAL takes 34 levels (28 points to start the game, 1 point each for bobbleheads, and 1 for You're SPECIAL! gets you to 36 total out of 70) just by itself. It does depend on your perk choices beyond that, though (I favor a VATS build myself; high PER, AGI, and Luck plus Better Criticals, Critical Banker, and Rifleman to turn something like Overseer's Guardian into a house of horrors for the bad guys. I usually have everything I really want or need by level 55 or so and by then I just tend to rush the main quest to bank the playthrough.
You need to get 21 without going over kings queens and jacks are all 10, ace is 1 or 11 you can chose which it is and the dealer can't get any more cards if they go over 17 but if you get 5 cards and don't go over 21 then you automatically win
Fun Fact: You can be prevented from gambling at: The Tops Ultra Luxe Gomorrah Vikki and Vance Casino (after completing some quests) Atomic Wrangler and the Sierra Madre Casino
This works better on the slot machines because one hit can land you something like 30,000 chips All at once instead of getting banned at the 10,000 mark. Do this at the Sierra Madre casino and you can use all the chips in the vending machines to get like 10,000 plus stim packs.
Kieran Fryers you can make 32K from slots from the two that have that, then at the white gloves casino, the limit is 15K which they don't seem to have slots, so you can only get 7K over from roulette.
I've always thought the best start for a character would be 9 luck, Skilled and Good Natured traits, decent intelligence for good level points and high endurance for the implants later on. Always been my go to build for starting out. Soon you'll be a god in New Vegas.
Malchie7 it doesnt need to be vegas to have gambling. In my home city, we have a casino in the area despite us being no where near vegas. I was thinking that people would have possibly built gambling dens in different cities in fallout 4 and a storyline dealing with loansharks and a mafia like group.
i remember looking up how to get lots of caps fast, and i always got luck 9 and got the sexy sleepwear from mick and ralphs, and would immediately make my way to new vegas to get around 50k caps within 20 minutes. i imagine it would be better with luck 11
There is a clinic at the strip that offer implants in the third section starting from the north gate, at your right at the third one. Also by a perk called intense training you can raise one of your ability by one level. (Btw you can only get a limited number of implants, and it cost the skin on your balls (4000 caps each)).
Hello zerfl! ;) Wow very lucky! :p Is It possible to use your video in a compilation on our RUclips channel? I need your approval. We will credit you of course! :p Thank you and have a nice day! ;)
True, but some high SPECIAL powers are more OP than others. S: Super high carry capacity and melee damage, meaning with just a melee weapon you can haul off thousands of caps' worth of loot, more than you could ever sell. P: You're a deadeye in VATS; this effect is completely insane in Fallout 4. E: Human panzer. You could probably sponge a Fat Man shell at high enough level. C: Companions turn into demigods (they're already OP but they go crazy-go-nuts at high CHA levels) I: Enough skill points to get to 100 in every skill by level 42 (lower with the Skilled trait and the Skilled exploit at the beginning of the game). You become OP at everything. A: Lots of Action Points means lots of VATS shots, and some of the high-AGI perks are crazy good. L: Skill boosts, critical chances through the roof, and you can't lose at gambling even if you try.
yeah i also thought about getting luck up high for the casinos on my first play through, but its advantage is limited because you can only win so much in each casino before they ban you
At 7 luck, you begin to win at least 25% of be time in hands. Once you’re at 9 or higher, you win blackjack pretty much 80-90% With the slots, you will lose a lot at first but win it a back and then some

I know what makes me love fnv, it felt like you had the most control over your character. Basically no background before game, you have vague dialogue options you can choose that shed some light on your past. The reputation factor (wish karma was a stronger effect though,) you cant please everyone so it made it feel more personal of an experience. The perks were of greater variety (you find some in the game from actions, some are granted from leveling up, some perks can be purchased for dollar dollar bills, and implants that directly effect your SPECIAL stats.). The DLCs were brimming with lore, backstory, history, and mystery of areas you have not delved into. The only weak points for New Vegas to me was the rushed content on Caesars side (felt parts were missing), the shooting mechanics, and the lackluster of New Vegas itself.
PS= Dead Money and Lonesome Road are my favorite parts of the game as a whole. Dead Money executed the heist-horror-survival atmosphere in spades. Lonesome Road felt like your characters final path to travel in the game and in the story. Every small detail you paid attention to boils down to confronring this Courier with a cryptic past and connection to you.
What you also have to consider is the opening. When you first start up the game, your a courier who gets shot in the head. This essentially does three things. One, it gives the player a motivation on both sides of the spectrum (whether good or evil.) Two, it gives the player a blank slate to work with. This is *your* character to do what *you* want with. 3. You get to imagine the past of your own character and how they got into this situation in the first place, you just have to add it up too how they became a courier. This game is great for making characters because of how little they limit your ability to be *you*.
The courier has more backstory than almost every other main character in the franchise. Saying there's almost no backstory greatly implies you've never actually played the game.
@@Riley_Mundt But I think the point is, they don't expressly DEMONSTRATE your backstory through visual medium, and that sort of allows you to "imagine" your past experiences the way you WANT them to be imagined. For example, I made a "brute" character with high strength and low intelligence, so I used the "Tribal Pack" DLC to make it seem like he was a tribal before he got a job as a courier; then I made up a backstory for myself, where my character killed the REAL courier and took the chip because it was "shiny", then got ambushed and killed again, at which point he realized the chip must've been cursed, but it must hold some sort of powerful "magic" to make people fight so desperately for it.
It's more or less a blank slate that I can fabricate 90% of the details for myself.

great, now i have to start playing new vegas again.
New Vegas runs like garbage on Windows 10, I've found. Stability and 4GB mods are esssential.
@@SimuLord false, i played for a whole night without any problems. Then again, I don’t remember much of the night so you could be right.
NV seems so much more pimp than 3 & 4 tbh
Yeah it is considering the fact that you can actually get a gold and diamond encrusted "Pimp Boy" in Fallout NV
Well, it's bloody Vegas afterall, what did you expect?
I always get like 9500 in a casino then bet max on 00 in roulette. 10 luck and a nice save before the roulette turn, and you get 35:1 return leaving the casino with like 16k total. do that everywhere you can and its glorious haha.
Really? My brother has 10 Luck and we spent ALL FUCKIN' DAY at the Wrangler, ONE CAP FROM BREAKING, betting on the 35:1, and NOTHING. It'll happen eventually but holy fuck it should have happened by now.
Y'all want to know a real challenge a whole run through vegas with a 1 in luck all i can say is never again
That Yankeedoodle Dandy g
Easy.
Jingo That was basically all my builds. No luck and pump into other stats.
Luck and Charisma is useless in New Vegas. Luck is only good for Crits and VATS plus gambling and Charisma is only good for companion combat ability which if you're not playing hardcore doesn't matter and you can easily point up to 100 speech.
@@Seriona1 You forget luck also affects each of stats giving you a slight boost to all skills (speech barter, sneak, etc) and loot and amount you find; as for charisma i should of clarified better as to include each of the skills it affects especially on survival where as the Lanius/Oliver is a very difficult fight even at max level
He is the true high roller
“Hey, isn’t that guy walking around with out boss’s gun?”
i lost all my money doing this. I ended up just selling armor and weapons at the gun runner shop to get wealthy again. Its safe to say I should not decide to gamble for profit in real life.
Pointl Ess why didn't you just quick save before you hit the table? Lol
james baker you actually cannot do this. The game stops you from playing for a certain amount of time if you decide to try it
The sound the cards make is so weirdly satisfying. Anyone else?
Always max luck and charisma
Why charisma?
not much use in this game but its worth maxing it in fallout 4.
It's a bit of a waste to go above 6 (for Local Leader) in FO4; wearing Reginald's Suit, a trilby hat, and Black-Rim Glasses gets you up to 11, which is the level required to guarantee passing Red speech checks (you need 9 for yellow and 10 for orange to reach 100% success chance; the formula is CHA*15%-"speech value", which is 35/50/65 for Y/O/R.)
You can also use stuff like Grape Mentats, various forms of alcohol, or the Day Tripper or X-Cell chems to temporarily boost your charisma. The effects on barter prices max out at CHA 16 (lower if you've got the bobblehead, ranks of Cap Collector, or Junktown Jerky magazine issues), but really, you should have more loot than you can sell even if you have stores set up at your settlements, and once you've got your main equipment loadout, caps are kind of useless at that point.
Fox D tbh, I always max special stats (except for ones I don't care about) and get the best rank 10 perks, along with stimpak, lockpick, and terminal hacking.
Sounds like you level up your characters far beyond the point where I usually retire mine (mid-50s to low 60s level-wise) to be able to do all that perking up. Maxing SPECIAL takes 34 levels (28 points to start the game, 1 point each for bobbleheads, and 1 for You're SPECIAL! gets you to 36 total out of 70) just by itself. It does depend on your perk choices beyond that, though (I favor a VATS build myself; high PER, AGI, and Luck plus Better Criticals, Critical Banker, and Rifleman to turn something like Overseer's Guardian into a house of horrors for the bad guys. I usually have everything I really want or need by level 55 or so and by then I just tend to rush the main quest to bank the playthrough.
Fallout new Vegas has such an amazing nostalgic feel
Now I just need to learn how to play blackjack...
You try to get 21 without going over or be the closest. kings, queens and jacks are 10 and you choose for an an ace to be 1 or 11. Any questions?
You need to get 21 without going over kings queens and jacks are all 10, ace is 1 or 11 you can chose which it is and the dealer can't get any more cards if they go over 17 but if you get 5 cards and don't go over 21 then you automatically win
Cryo who doesn’t?
It’s literally the easiest card game ever.
its nickname is called "21" thats basically all you should need to know other than aces can be "1" or "11"
Fun Fact: You can be prevented from gambling at:
The Tops
Ultra Luxe
Gomorrah
Vikki and Vance Casino (after completing some quests)
Atomic Wrangler
and the Sierra Madre Casino
Thanks to this video, I always start my NV runs like this
THEY CLAP EVERYTIME
i'm like 90% sure he just pulled out bennys gun. their dead bosses gun lol
I for one absolutely love it.
First thing I did when creating my character..."well this IS Vegas...let's max out my luck..." lol fun times!
Not what happens when I go to the Casino in real life, that's for sure...
*Walks up to blackjack table*
*Doesn't touch cards and wins*
"YOU NEED TO LEAVE!"
"I haven't even done anything yet!"
"You think I'm an A-hole, huh? You clearly rigged the cards, you f*cking cheater!"

Casino: *In Bankruptcy*
Vault Guy: 😂
Oh hell no, that quicksave.
I'm luck 10 every single fallout game for the LOOT
BEST FALLOUT GAME
Agreed

“Why are you wearing pajamas and sunglasses at 3pm?”
i need to play this game
how was it?
lol'd
Played this game and its pretty good.
@@mememachine2777 He returns
NICE
This works better on the slot machines because one hit can land you something like 30,000 chips All at once instead of getting banned at the 10,000 mark. Do this at the Sierra Madre casino and you can use all the chips in the vending machines to get like 10,000 plus stim packs.
*sees Jack and Ace next to each other*
"Jawohl!"
Can you only earn 10,000 caps from each casino?
Kieran Fryers you can make 32K from slots from the two that have that, then at the white gloves casino, the limit is 15K which they don't seem to have slots, so you can only get 7K over from roulette.
About 10k from The Tops, 8-9k from Gomorrah, and about 15-17k from the Ultra-Luxe
You can cheat to make even more than the limit you just need alooot of patience.
You can also earn about 5,000 from the Atomic Wrangler. That's usually how I get into the strip.
I remember actually playing this with high luck and actually think I was really good at the game.
Now I know what I’m doing next play through
I've always thought the best start for a character would be 9 luck, Skilled and Good Natured traits, decent intelligence for good level points and high endurance for the implants later on. Always been my go to build for starting out. Soon you'll be a god in New Vegas.
tfw you use that 1 min gambling cd after loading to kill everyone in the casino
Wish that there was gambling in fallout 4
There is gambling in fallout 4, the pie game you see.
The Pope XD
Mathias Andersen giving us another reason why fallout 4 kinda dropped the ball a little. New vegas really impressed
Jago Nexus it didn't drop the ball for not having gambling, it's not set in vegas so obviously there wouldn't be casinos.
Malchie7 it doesnt need to be vegas to have gambling. In my home city, we have a casino in the area despite us being no where near vegas. I was thinking that people would have possibly built gambling dens in different cities in fallout 4 and a storyline dealing with loansharks and a mafia like group.
That quicksave has a chaotic neutral vibe
Vegas, baby
Yep I agree, YOU ARE RAD!
So if this happens at every casino you can't play anymore?
FalloutReaper Yes,there's even an achievement for it.
Ahh new vegas, the only Fallout in 3d i recognize as a true successor to the license.
i remember looking up how to get lots of caps fast, and i always got luck 9 and got the sexy sleepwear from mick and ralphs, and would immediately make my way to new vegas to get around 50k caps within 20 minutes. i imagine it would be better with luck 11
how to level luck?
There is a clinic at the strip that offer implants in the third section starting from the north gate, at your right at the third one.
Also by a perk called intense training you can raise one of your ability by one level. (Btw you can only get a limited number of implants, and it cost the skin on your balls (4000 caps each)).
Sorry I got it wrong, go east of the crimson caravan company and there is the medical clinic.
Jean Philippe Cornay okay thanks i was wearing sexy sleepwear too the casinos
Orange Banana or when you level up choose intense training and choose luck
Gofaw thank you all of this helped perfectly now i say f you sexy sleepwear
Hello zerfl! ;) Wow very lucky! :p Is It possible to use your video in a compilation on our RUclips channel? I need your approval. We will credit you of course! :p Thank you and have a nice day! ;)
Sure, go for it.

*quicksaving* top 10 videos taken moments before disaster
I miss this gem of a game
Has it gone somewhere? just play it if you want to.
That's amazing so basically you win every time you gamble. As long as your luck is 10?
LionHeartless7 No, it's just very, very, very unlikely for you to lose.
Not every game.... It's just a 95% chance.
+steeledminer616 responding to a 5 year old comment
Literally high any skill is "op"
True, but some high SPECIAL powers are more OP than others.
S: Super high carry capacity and melee damage, meaning with just a melee weapon you can haul off thousands of caps' worth of loot, more than you could ever sell.
P: You're a deadeye in VATS; this effect is completely insane in Fallout 4.
E: Human panzer. You could probably sponge a Fat Man shell at high enough level.
C: Companions turn into demigods (they're already OP but they go crazy-go-nuts at high CHA levels)
I: Enough skill points to get to 100 in every skill by level 42 (lower with the Skilled trait and the Skilled exploit at the beginning of the game). You become OP at everything.
A: Lots of Action Points means lots of VATS shots, and some of the high-AGI perks are crazy good.
L: Skill boosts, critical chances through the roof, and you can't lose at gambling even if you try.
Yep I always played with like 10 Intelligence because of all the skill points.

Jesus crispy I miss this game
Thx for showing how much you won. I never gamble in this game and didn't know how much you won
yeah i also thought about getting luck up high for the casinos on my first play through, but its advantage is limited because you can only win so much in each casino before they ban you
10 years ago ... simpler times, my friends. Simpler times.
every single time ive played new vegas i had luck set to 7.. lucky 7 was just something special for me
*walks up to cashier with gun*
Cashier: morning
I dont even know to play that card game and yet i got this interaction
The clapping is so satisfying
At 7 luck, you begin to win at least 25% of be time in hands.
Once you’re at 9 or higher, you win blackjack pretty much 80-90%
With the slots, you will lose a lot at first but win it a back and then some
Even doctor from followers of the apocalypse said, that I should visit all of the casinos on the strip.
Ah, the malicious quicksave. You know what happens after the end of this video.
I want to play this game again.
"Caps? Oh, ok. So....one, two, three...". . . 10 hours later . . ."...ten thousand five hunderd fourty nine, ten thousand five houndred fifty. Here you go, come again...NOT!"

The only Fallout were Luck truly mattered
