Fallout : New Vegas

[Vincec79]

I had a weird one like that, one of the side missions has you running between the outposts, and as part of it I had to find a specific Ranger. Found him in a building laying in a double bed with another male NCR trooper :S when I woke him he eventually got up, said wait to speak to me till I'm on the balcony at which point he then walked off to another room and got into that bed for a kip

In the mission later on where you have to defend the President, I found a bomb, so obviously I rushed back to tell the relevant chap.

Because he wasn't standing in the precise, pre-determined area he was supposed to, he told me "Not now, I'm busy"

F*ck you then, TBH. I let the President die. F*cking mong.

Yeah; that's probably a spoiler. Carry on.

President, you say? What now?

/spoiler.

IIRC. Job done.

No worries.

Scutch - I'm at work so can't google gaming sites but i'm interested to know what the other face cards do in caravan?

I know that the King acts as the value you put it on (ie if you put it on 8 your hand will be 16), what do the queen/jack/joker do?

No idea, mate. I think the Joker... ahh f*ck it, I'll search online. BRB.

Found this :

This game can be quite confusing at first. to win you need to get at least two of your "caravans" to between 21 and 26 before your opponent does. The easiest way too win is to stack your deck inn your favor with lots of 6s, 8s, 10s, and Ks as this is the easiest way to get to 26. 26 being the key number to have without having your caravan be to "heavy". A few Js help too incase the game is tied, which I'll discuss in a bit. *This may be the most important thing on this answer* your opening hand DOES NOT have to be the hand you start with. If you don't have at least two possible caravans that will equal up to 26, you have the ability to discard any number of cards BEFORE THE GAME STARTS and draw new ones until you are happy with your hand. But remember if you run out if cards you auto lose.Now about ties. The game CANNOT end if you and your opponent have a set of caravans directly opposite each other. This is where strategy comes into play. You have the ability to sabotage your opponents caravans. You can make them "lighter" (taking away a card or cards) with either a jack, which removes just one card (and any card attached to it) or a joker(which removes all cards of that type, i.e. if you have 2 eights down and so does your opp. and you play a joker on your eight the three others get removed). So if you are tied play a J or a Joker (more risky) on your opp. caravan. Or simply play any card that will make their caravan bust. This strategy should keep you from ever losing. I'm currently 26-0 using this method. And much richer for it. Hope this helps.

Thanks Scutch, I keep Tieing with the guy in dino bite - Can't win him for s**t, and I always run out of kings

So I need to add a couple jacks to my deck and I should hopefully win?

Anyone know what the criteria is for you to "win" a game of caravan (apart from having 26 on each caravan, because I have had this a number of times but still not won)

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Dunno its a fuckin w**k game anyway lol ill stick to manly non peasant spec modes of gambling lol.

Just been to southern new vegas ruins and butchered all the fiends also mooched into volt 3 and killed everything

 

[Goodj]

Caravan could be the way to vast amount of caps, but only once I've been banned from all the casinos for rinsing their blackjack tables.

[Final Maxim]

[Spiezels]

Casear and his legion... DEAD!!!

Powerfist blokes are f**king solid alot of backing up and jumping was done.

 

[Final Maxim]

i aint done it yet, but im guessing shoot their legs and cripple them will be a good tactic?

i didnt get ringos deck of cards, so atm im just going round every town finding traders and buying caravan cards as i hadnt bought a single 1 before today (18 hours in)

bit of a ballache tbh, ahw ell

as for the storyline im at the strip and have to give mr house the chip and confront benny too.

aint decided what im gonna do yet

 

[Scutch]

So many people think Maria is the best gun in the game, but it's only a hand pistol. Bit odd.

 

[James.f]

just played caravan for the first time and won 5k thanks to scutch's previous post need about 11k more and il be happy

two shots from maria and a giant ant solider was dead, awesome tbh, did the ant mission so easy,

 

[wozzaa]

If you didn't get ringos deck of card at goodsprings then you can still get them from him at the crimson caravan place. As well as some more cash out of him, if you didn't give him up.

 

[James.f]

^ or go to the saloon in goodspring hes in the back room and get them there thats were i found the little sod

 

[Final Maxim]

i cant remember if i gave him up or not. he calls me buddy, i just helped him kill the raiders.

he gave me caps then walked off and i saw him again at crimson camp where he gave me more caps, but ive talked to him and he wont give me any cards, tried killing him and no cards either.

 

[Adam]

Got E-ED but lost Boone, he went back to Novac apparently, any idea where he is, Ive look in the Dino but not there

What is it with people taking the Megaton shack, it's all about the Tenpenny Suite.

aint that the truth

 

[Scutch]

Did anyone actually let Jessup live in Boulder City?

I've passed a speech challenge with him to negotiate a deal, but don't know whether to wipe him out.

 

[Spiezels]

Just finished it...

50 hours. I thought you'd be able to carry on as I'd still got loads of locations to look at?

Finished most of the big quests but still plenty to do.

Hmmmmmm to be fair not sure I can be arsed to go back and do it differently i play games to intensively so I've overloaded now.

Might just sell this and MoH and jump into Black Ops.

 

[Final Maxim]

there should be a patch you can apply that allows free roam to continue after the last quest.

i used it for Fallout 3

 

[Spiezels]

Yeah i expected that to be the case but i'd have to load a save game about 4 hours previous and i've properly overloaded so i'l probably sack it.

EPIC EPIC GAME

 

[Scutch]

Never finish the game until you've done everything you want to first. There'll be a DLC out that allows you to continue mind.

 

[Spiezels]

But I'm impulsive.

iFail!

All I can think about is BO's now.

I can't play 2 games at once, it's everything into one or nout.

 

[The Boosh!]

Ncr want me to wipe out the brotherhood but I don't want to

Think I'm gonna kill a the ncr

 

[Spiezels]

I'm sure you can get them to stop, pretty sure I did... But then I did go back a few days later and the base was gone haha.

 

[Scutch]

I spoke to Jessup and negotiated a deal to stop the Khan's attacking the NCR. I then convinced the Lt. NCR guy to call off his attack on the Khan's, to which he agreed. Job done, massive XP and friend of both factions

For now.

Off to find Benny at the strip now. I kill him, right?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Ncr want me to wipe out the brotherhood but I don't want to

Think I'm gonna kill a the ncr

Im at that stage too, dont want to do it, and the BoS are hard as coffin nails too!

Yeah mate, if you're doing the wild card shiz anyway and remember to take a silenced pistol with you.

Plus he shot you in the head, he deserves it.

You don't have to.

Do the BoS quests and don't remove the current Eldar. He sees sense and agrees to an alliance.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I've already gotten rid of him lol.

So many choices!! This reason alone is why this game s***s all over COD etc.

 

[Goodj]

Siding with the NCR?

wusses!

It's all about taking tthe Mojave as your own, between an army of securitrons and the Enclave, you can rule the world!

 

[Christopher]

And together, we can get the worst ending! Hurrah!

 

[Scutch]

LOL. Indeed. There's a few to choose from, mind.

Not posted on this forum in a while.
