OMG! I just got my FNV.
Goodbye world, I'm heading to the Wasteland to hunt me some mutants.
(when my wife saw what I got in the mail, she immediately facepalmed and gave me that 'here we again' look)

damn, I'm addicted to playing caravan.
Made like 200K of caps and already wasted 73 gaming hours.

Found a glitch though. If you're betting with NCR and Legionaire money, you can get double the amount of caps if you win.
Here's a quick run up of how to exploit it:-
1) Make sure you have some NCR or Legionaire money on you
2) Transfer all your caps to your companion or store them in your safehouse.
3) Start a caravan game and raise the bet. For example, let's say you up the ante to 100 and your opponent put 100 too. So now, the pot total is 200.
4) Win the game and you'll get that 200 in caps. Your NCR and Legionaire money will be left untouched.

At first, I thought that the game auto converts my NCR money to caps once I won the hand. Apparently, that is not the case. I'm now a Caravan hustler at Novac siphoning caps from Cliff and the crazy old guy. That girl up in Mojave outpost is quite a Caravan gambler too and bets big. She can bet like 2K+ and that's like an easy 5K winnings if you use that Caravan glitch.

That's why I dont gamble at the casinos. I hate that limit. And I'm already banned at the Tops & Ultra-Luxe BTW.
I dont think 30K would be enough for me. Repairing my Gobi Sniper Rifle would cost around 9K each time I go for a Cazador/Deathclaw/Nightstalker hunting spree. Add that cost to feeding Boone's ammo for his sniper rifle (and he's very trigger happy whenever we go wandering in Legion territory). And I make my own ammo. .308 JSP FTW! My team is very high maintenance.

Any of you guys get that Veteran Ranger Armor? I tried looking everywhere for a Veteran ranger to kill but couldnt find any.

I'm using the Van Graff Combat Armor which I stole from the crate in front of Silver Rush. It doesnt add to the weight because it's marked as a Quest Item and it doesnt deteriorate as fast as a normal Combat Armor.

That's because some of the dev team are those people from Black Isle.
I've tried the anti-materiel rifle but didnt like it. I'm sticking to my Gobi. BTW, you can get tonnes of 50mm from Hoover Dam.

I finally got that NCR Combat Armor. The only problem is that no one can repair the helmet. If you wanna repair it, you have to murder more Veteran Rangers to get another helmet (Incidentally, that's how I got the anti-materiel rifle too). Had to reload a previous save when I was at level 29 so that I can take Jury Rigging at level 30.

Went to Vault 22. It was just too awesome.

I never bring any of companions into Hoover Dam. They'll mysteriously 'disappear'. So I just tell them to wait outside.

Actually, I've been carrying around a dog's brain in my inventory but havent done the Rex quest yet. I killed this Fiend leader on one of the quests from Camp McCurran and one of her dogs had a brain in its inventory. I have ED-E as my non humanoid companion. It's like having R2D2.

Not only that the power armors are quite useless, some of the perks as well. Grimm Reaper Sprint was my favorite perk in Fallout 3, in Vegas it only restores 20 AP upon successful kill. And IMHO energy weapons are dumbed down in Vegas. In F3, I just had that unique Plasma Rifle from the Rivet City quest and used it all through the DLCs. In Vegas, I'm not that keen on using energy weapons. Maybe it's because of the lack of Enclave soldiers.

Get the Gobi sniper rifle. It uses less AP and carry 6 shots per magazine. Plus it has a critical chance modifier. The only thing it doesnt have is a silencer. So I'm carrying a modded Sniper rifle for those silent kills.

I just got that unique Gauss Rifle, YCS/186. It's cool and all but it takes 4 MF cells per shot.
