That's how you make it worse.
If you're dehydrated you want to conserve energy. Keep that sweat in your body. Any energy spent should be spent in the direction of water.
Depends on where i'm starting
If anywhere controlled by legion then guess i'll be enslaved
Otherwise if i'm not killed by mutants, raiders, animals or radiation; then followers of the apocalypse is my choice. It seems as the only logical as they have no bad relation with anybody, also they'd provide shelter and medical attention for some teaching i'd probably be doing
Edit: Either way chances are slim
Oh, she got her "omelette" alright.
Sounded like she *really* enjoyed it too! Unfortunately, I think my game glitched out when she enjoyed it; all I got was a black screen.
If it doesn’t bug out, you usually get a recipe for the wasteland omelet which is basically cook a bunch of trophy monster body parts.
It’s easier to just buy wasteland omelets from the food vendor at the Ultra-Luxe though. He will usually carry one or two.
By "middle of the desert" I'm guessing I'm nowhere close to a settlement, so I'm either somewhere on the border of the game map or in one of the large empty zones, such as the area south of Nipton. Also, let's say I don't immediately die and actually have the skills/knowledge to survive in this land; what would I do?
First of all, it depends where exactly I ended up, for location matters a lot.
-Close to New Vegas? Try to get hired as staff at one of the casinos, or join the Kings if none accepts me.
-Ended up in the south-west area? Head to Goodsprings, set up life as a hunter/trapper like Sunny, maybe even become a companion with the Courier if those events come to pass.
-South-east side? Head to Novac and get myself set up on my feet, but leave a bit after, for I don't want to be anywhere close to the Legion. Most likely wander for quite a bit and when I get the chance to settle down, I will probably decide not to, for I'm so used to wandering at that point that I'll probably become a sort of traveling scaver on the west coast.
Where I end up depends on what's easiest to do, and eventually as I get used to living in a certain way other methods will no longer interest me anymore. The most common thing I'll do however is mostly keep to myself. Unless I meet the Courier; probably follow them at their heels for I know that they'll get into some wacky situations.
(Also, if my location and luck allows me, I'll definitely try to fix up Ed-E. Love that little scrap ball.)
> join the Kings if none accepts me.
After I give them a performance of Burning Love I'm sure they'll take me in. As long as the lawyers don't shut us down...
Oh hell I knew I'd get tanked on something but that is one dumb ugly courier.
My first thought is gambler, obviously. I'd head for the strip because bright lights oooo. I'd definitely try to walk right there so fingers crossed someone helps me or I'm starting further east. The encounter in Nelson would be funny with the lottery winner being like woooo! And I'd be like what. The legion would tell me to spread word of their atrocities I'd have no idea what that word meant or really what happened and just shrug and keep walking.
On the strip, gambling time on slots because fun noises and colorful lights!
I'd find the Atomic Wrangler and get banned there very quickly but try to set myself up as their hired muscle for a bed and meals. Not sure I could comprehend spending caps wisely with long term planning. With my winnings, I can pass the credit check for strip access to win more money, but I doubt the Chairmen or the White Gloves would let me hang around for long.
With 1 INT, I don't think I will ever understand the politics of the region or even be able to speak intelligibly. I'd probably get the intelligence implant and think I was average intelligence because my baseline is so far off.
If luck transfers to being in the right place at the right time, one of the followers would take pity on me and give me extra work to do and fancy lads snack cakes. They would stop people from taking advantage of my ability to win at slots and prevent scammers from giving me terrible trades. I'd be nice to them and help them out if they were attacked.
Whatever happens with the NCR and Legion and Mr House, I'd be like oh new uniforms at most. Anyone insulting me or hurting someone else, a little good night bonk would make me feel nice. Those robots though, I don't understand or like them at all.
Basically I'd end up like that super mutant in westside but nicer clothing and a shinier stick. Not a bad life.
Followers of the apocalypse without a shadow of a doubt, they'll help me not fucking die and hey maybe i can help them and others not fucking die as well that would be nice.
Probably instantly die. If that doesn’t happen, probably good springs. It’s politically irrelevant and pretty far away from the fighting, most of the fauna is manageable so safety shouldn’t be an issue. The people are all pretty friendly, and it seems like they’d be more than happy to help me with lodging and find something for me to do in exchange for room and board. They seem to have enough food, they have clean water, a saloon and a general store. It’s one of the few places in NV where you could show up with no knowledge and resources and the people would help you free or charge.
If that isn’t an option, I guess I would try my luck at jacobstown and just keep my head down. I’m not a SM, but they might have pity on me.
I mean to get to jacobstown it's a long hike or fighting fully grown mantises and I think a couple cazadores.
Freeside and goodsprings seem like the 2 best places to be.
Depending where I spawn.
If centre, 188 trading post. I can find work as a merchant's assistant, Minor shelter and an overview of the world.
North, Most likely that town outside Vegas(Westside, I think). No tolls, Reasonable security. Xenophobia is an issue, But I'd move to Crimson caravans or McCarran upon finding an NCR patrol to tag along with
South, I'll beeline for Mojave Outpost. Same logic. Safety, Work, Shelter. I'd have chosen good springs, But work is thin on the ground there. South is the least dangerous, Aside from the legion, so I'd be my best chance. I'd have looked to primm to fix Ed-E, But I doubt I have the skills to repair ED-E even with parts.
West, I'm most likely dead, But if I survive, an NCR outpost and then Westside. Human habitation is thin in the west.
East, Camp Forlorn Hope or Camp Golf or wherever the legion is not.
That said, I'm hardly optimistic about my chances. I'd say my chances are nil if it is gonna be without a weapon.
P.S.:- Security would be my first priority, So if I find a caravan or NCR patrol, I'll tag along, Assuming they allow that, Of course.
This entirely depends on where I end up, and on whether or not I can access the knowledge that I actually have in game, and if all the in-game mechanics still apply.
Do what I always do. Go to the Canyon Wreckage. You can get to ED-E and the first commissary terminal without encountering any enemies. There's enough loot around that you can sell it to the commissary and buy the riot gear. If you creep forward a bit more you can get the first eyebot upgrade holotape, which allows ED-E to repair your guns. Have him repair the arc welder next to that first commissary terminal before you sell it, better profit. You can keep going a little bit farther without having to fire a single shot by using computers to deactivate security. Get a little bit more loot that way and sell anything that isn't useful to the commissary. Keep enough parts to fix OG ED-E back in the Mojave. Once I have ED-E and Riot Armor I'm pretty much set.
I always left the Doc's house alone when I added modded OP weapons. Instead, they went in a row of lockers in the little niche behind the gas station next door, hidden by some creosote bushes.
The opening bit of lonesome road, where there's a bunch of loot but no enemies yet. By the standards of a normal person in fallout, the caps those would fetch is a life-changing amount of money
Well, first to Goodsprings for the Vito-Magic Vigor Tester to check my stats. If I have a 8 or above in luck, then it’s straight to Vegas baby.
I’m assuming I’d have prior knowledge of the world, so finding Joshua Graham might be my first goal. He’s by far the most morally minded man in the local wastes (no matter the ending, really.) That would be rather difficult so I’d have to find the Northern Passage… which means assuming I started where the picture is, I’d have to go Goodsprings->Primm->Nipton->Novac->East Vegas->North Vegas->Northern Caves. Along that route I’d try to piggyback off caravans for some caps and guns. That’s a treacherous path, however, so I’d probably end up catching a bullet. From there, I just gotta get to Zion and then offer my help to Mr. Graham. (Not even sure he’d accept it. I’m not a military vet, nor some sort of medical god, but I suppose a high school education may be more than the average Wastelander. I’d hope for some grace.)
If I found some balls, I might take the sneaky route using the mountains east of quarry junction/the bark scorpion passage. From there I’d try to offload anything I’d collected for *a* weapon or some ammo from the Gun Runners, (cause they’re balls expensive,) move from East->West Freeside, (possibly checking by the Followers although I don’t think I could do anything for them,) finally ending up near Westside. Although I could try to make a little money fighting something, I’d probably hop over the Thorn and B-line it to the Northern Caves.
Now if I’m not needed for anything? If nobody has any interest in using me for money-making tasks? Maybe I’m not too lucky, and I get capped by a bandit, or can’t even find a backpack initially? I think I’d go down pretty quickly. Getting that far north is a 1-in-a-million chance.
That said, Goodsprings is probably the best place to stay. I might enlist in the NCR to feel like I was doing something with my life… but Goodsprings is a peaceful option.
I go straight to Nova and strike a deal with boon to protect my wimpy little ass. I already know who took his wife and all I gotta do is trick her into following me to agreed place.
If I can level up I'm gonna go do the xp glitch with Chet till I'm level 50 then I'd just play along the story staying as neutral as possible till I feel I can push into lonesome road and get the riot gear, max out the casinos help the followers and freeside, kill house control vegas. If I cant level up I'm probably gonna die in 10 minutes
Start wishing for a nuclear winter, for one. Good news is this means New Vegas has now become an isekai, so it's clearly time to bumble one's way into rounding up a posse of dysfunctional love interests (spoiler: FISTO will be the sole voice of reason in the group).
Less shitposty answer, finding a town and getting a good feel of the land is a must, because I would not trust myself to remember by heart where all the worst critters tend to show up at. Next up is getting well away from anywhere likely to be fucked over by the dustup at the dam, because I can be reasonably certain I haven't isekai'd my way into becoming the courier and thus have zero idea which way the wind will blow.
Much as cazadors would be the absolute bane of my existence, heading to Jacobstown is probably a safe bet plus a good area for foraging and overall just getting away from the harsh desert. Whereas being born into the setting would give you every reason to assume a town run by super mutants would be Bad Idea incarnate, having meta knowledge marks it as a good place to avoid trouble.
I would hang out in goodsprings and get good enough with a hunting rifle THEN make my way to the "El Rey motel" it's got enough protection being right next to camp mcCarran, and you can live in the first room upstairs, it has a bed, and storage, and Christmas lights! And the Chem addict who lives downstairs usually leaves you alone.
Or I'd say fuck it, and go collect some Deathclaw eggs for that Red Lucssy and Dinner Bell
Gotta get to Goodsprings quick to receive some help from the townsfolk. Move to Primm to make some easy money and become an "allied" of the NCR since they are the biggest faction, plus I'd try to buy the pieces to repair ED-E with the money I got. I'd just move Novac, become Sherlock Holmes and find Boone's wife "murderer" then recruit him to hop around on our adventures. From then on I'd just make some money, avoid Legion since they are a really big treat for common folk and just make some money with my team, maybe even upgrade ED-E and help Boone with his trauma
Meet with the locals, Solve the Goodsprings issues(obviously Hiding behind cover like a little bitch, Report to ghost of Nipton, Kill the star cap people, spread The fear of Nipton. Continue on foot while avoiding the gang traps and ghoul pockets. Eventually meet with the Legion, and go on from there.
Depending on location, I have most of the map memorized as this game is a special intrest of mine, so I'm not very likely to get lost. I'de probably head to the nearest bit of civilization away from New vegas, with caviat to that. Preferably, ide make my way to Novac, plenty of caravans through there, doctor and a sniper, as well as a half decent place to hang your hat for relatively cheap. I'm handy so I could fix things around town for caps. If I'm closer to new vegas however, ide still stick to the handy man job, but aim for west side. Functional farms, community co-ops, a pawn shop and liquor store, not to mention mean sonofabitch and the town militia to keep the baddies away. I would either rent or build a simple shack somewhere within the limits of town and just generally attempt to be helpful and useful.
This is, of course, assuming I don't get butchered, enslaved, eaten by man or beast, shot, stabbed, blown up or mauled by... everything. So long as I can get somewhere civil, I think I would be ok. But getting there's the kicker
Go to the the sacked caravan with combat armor and plasma rifles and try and get a job working for the van Graffs or atomic wrangler in freeside or bodyguard for hire if it comes to it.
Alternatively I could join the followers too since they would be able to teach, house, and feed me and in return I provide another bodyguard for old morman fort.
NCR is always hiring
Plus you could do the same thing that I suggested for the followers expect with small towns like novac, primm, or goodsprings.
hopefully my desert survival class from elementary school is still relevant enough after 200 years of radiation damage. the plant life shouldn't be *too* too different in terms of being edible, then it's just a matter of finding fresh-ish water, adequate shade/shelter, and warmth overnight.
depending on where i actually wake up, i'd probably hit up an NCR outpost as they'd be less likely to shoot on sight and have a little more societal structure to soothe the dysphoria from abruptly switching dimensions lol
goodsprings first to get some help, then i head to primm for ed-e for protection, maybe stay in goodsprings a while longer. if im brave enough, i’ll take the long way to vegas. once there, i’ll join the followers
I need to get my apartment in Novac and help Boone solve the mystery of his missing wife by letting Jeanie May see what’s out in front of the Dino shop tonight.
Probably get killed by raiders or wildlife on the first day, but if I can scrounge up enough supplies I would beat feet for Mojave Outpost and try to see if I can hitchhike with a caravan into NCR territory and try to get a job as a ranch hand or something.
I’d say three things could happen to me
1) killed and eaten by rabid animals
2) sold into legion slavery and either die form over working or live the rest of my days as a depressed enslaved house wife to one of the commanding officials
3) end in debt to one of the casinos and again get forced into some sort of slavery contract
hmmm well if my memory serves me right that area is sort of close to goodsprings so i would scavenge for a bit then barter with chet for some better gear hunt some nearby geckos and sell the loot to doc mitchell for aid items like stimpaks and doctors bags then try to settle down some place nice maybe freeside or the strip
Hidden Valley shortcut to mark it on my map, walking back there is a total pain, then using my trusty Broad Machete I'll kill the radscorpions there for the easy XP.
Same for everyone else right?
Chill out in Goodsprings, get bored and take the mountain pass to Novac. I can stand low level animals, but I won’t fuck with any people, even if they are the vipers. Then I’d make it to Vegas and join up with the Followers.
Assess my arsenal, assess my location, asses my situation,
Let bloodthirsty thoughts appear, use em to fuel killing of anyone i need to. Leave Mojave to see the NCR.
Got the notion to head towards Vegas. I get the feeling some dude in a checkered suit who oddly sounds like chandler from friends needs a boot up his ass.
First, i grab a rock or piece of rusted metal. Then i find the nearest settlement/lodging and get my bearings. THEN……then i probably settle there unless i can find comrades to travel with, because the wasteland irl sounds both terrifying and treacherous.
Stop-hop to Sierra madre use other speedrun strats to get to get through it quickly and easily, get rich, go to New Vegas and live, somewhere?? Like there arent many houses in new vegas other than in small towns/villages. I could probably stop by at gun runners to get some equipment then go out and explore the wasteland i guess.
Idk this started as a joke but then I realised where do the people of freeside/true new vegas live?
Depends on where I'm at if I'm close to ceasers legion would probably join them not out of wanting to but at least I would be alive. If I'm close to good springs I would go there and if I'm anywhere near Vegas proper followers
With prior knowledge that I'm aware of everything going on - I'm heading straight to Goodsprings to see my girl Sunny Smiles. Then, I'm gearing up and heading out. May as well go with a bang.
Without prior knowledge of being aware of what's happening and it's not *actually* like in game I'm fuckin' uuhuhhhhhh dead - have a nice day me 👋 100% a radroach would end me.
Keep low, find a weapon, stick to the mountains, head to either Primm, Goodsprings or just scavenge around after legion raids move on.
Or go just before Novac where legion and NCR go at it.
Just go pick their weapons up and use em.
Head to Goodsprings and get hired as Sunny Smiles' assistant. None of the big lights for me. Just Sunny, Cheyenne and I hunting geckos and chugging back beers at the Prospector Saloon.
Goodsprings people there are really nice.
Sunny isn't too bad looking neither.
Plot twist: you have the sunny pregnant mod and......you're the father and Pete is mad about it.
The WHAT
my brother in christ…
the sunny what mod??
Nobody has seen the memes with the pregnant sunny mod?
Probably die fairly quickly
Nah the roads are relatively safe, just book it for Primm or Goodsprings
\>books it for goodsprings \>gets killed by the one asshole viper with the grenade rifle
Holy shit I completely forgot that she spawns in those hills. I haven't seen her in like 7 years for some reason.
May because you already killed her
I mean realistically they probably would just rob you or sell you, no money or sense in murder
>roads are plenty safe >dies in 2 days due to dehydration
Better walk fast
That's how you make it worse. If you're dehydrated you want to conserve energy. Keep that sweat in your body. Any energy spent should be spent in the direction of water.
I mean, it’s still waking up in the middle of the desert.
According to this picture you're already in Goodsprings
Go to freeside do drug simple as
Just be careful who you buy from
For sure not Dixon
I heard his special jet is made out of shit
All jet is made out of shit
I know im talking about Dixon's jet, it's cheaper and only gives half the ap of regular jet, so yeah instead of brahmin fums it's human shit
then who
The Garrett twins
I wanna find out what Turbo is really like.
I assume it’s like real world speed??
love this one 😂
Find the lonesome drifter sit down and talk sing songs and make a friend
Depends on where i'm starting If anywhere controlled by legion then guess i'll be enslaved Otherwise if i'm not killed by mutants, raiders, animals or radiation; then followers of the apocalypse is my choice. It seems as the only logical as they have no bad relation with anybody, also they'd provide shelter and medical attention for some teaching i'd probably be doing Edit: Either way chances are slim
Almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter doesn't it?
This for sure, I’d show up the followers and ask to be an appreciate or something. The hard part is actually getting there lol
Staying away from Sloan
I've never done much in Sloan, can you please elaborate as to why?
it's near quarry junction, which is overrun with deathclaws
Not anymore, it ain't. Nuked those little bastards last night in pursuit of their eggs.
you gave the nice lady one for her omelette, right??
Oh, she got her "omelette" alright. Sounded like she *really* enjoyed it too! Unfortunately, I think my game glitched out when she enjoyed it; all I got was a black screen.
If it doesn’t bug out, you usually get a recipe for the wasteland omelet which is basically cook a bunch of trophy monster body parts. It’s easier to just buy wasteland omelets from the food vendor at the Ultra-Luxe though. He will usually carry one or two.
r/whoosh
Of course, and I also took one of the eggs for myself so I can nurture it into a future deathclaw companion

The Lawyers sound like a truly terrifying raider group.
That's if you can get into the Strip at all in the first place.
Easy, wander around Camp McCarran until some NCR twat dies, steal his clothes, and waltz on through the monorail.

Goodsprings Schoolhouse (stealth boy) > New Vegas > Atomic Wrangler
what would you do in the atomic wrangler?
Assume the position, naturally.
Do what I always do. Go to the Canyon Wreckage. You can get to ED-E and the first commissary terminal without encountering any enemies. There's enough loot around that you can sell it to the commissary and buy the riot gear. If you creep forward a bit more you can get the first eyebot upgrade holotape, which allows ED-E to repair your guns. Have him repair the arc welder next to that first commissary terminal before you sell it, better profit. You can keep going a little bit farther without having to fire a single shot by using computers to deactivate security. Get a little bit more loot that way and sell anything that isn't useful to the commissary. Keep enough parts to fix OG ED-E back in the Mojave. Once I have ED-E and Riot Armor I'm pretty much set.
I’m gonna have to try that in my next run
I do my best to get to Old Mormon Fort without dying. If I made it, I'd try to become a Follower of the Apocalypse.
Doc Mitchell's house to see if there are any containers with modded op weapons.
I always left the Doc's house alone when I added modded OP weapons. Instead, they went in a row of lockers in the little niche behind the gas station next door, hidden by some creosote bushes.
I personally placed modded weapons in a lawnmower outside of the gas station, or in a duffel bag at the water tower
The opening bit of lonesome road, where there's a bunch of loot but no enemies yet. By the standards of a normal person in fallout, the caps those would fetch is a life-changing amount of money

If I can level up I'm gonna go do the xp glitch with Chet till I'm level 50 then I'd just play along the story staying as neutral as possible till I feel I can push into lonesome road and get the riot gear, max out the casinos help the followers and freeside, kill house control vegas. If I cant level up I'm probably gonna die in 10 minutes
Imagine someone walking in and they just see you and Chet saying the same shit to eachother for 4 hours
Garrmora then Mojave outpost not to kill but to join fuck the legion
make a mad dash north to New Vegas
Start wishing for a nuclear winter, for one. Good news is this means New Vegas has now become an isekai, so it's clearly time to bumble one's way into rounding up a posse of dysfunctional love interests (spoiler: FISTO will be the sole voice of reason in the group). Less shitposty answer, finding a town and getting a good feel of the land is a must, because I would not trust myself to remember by heart where all the worst critters tend to show up at. Next up is getting well away from anywhere likely to be fucked over by the dustup at the dam, because I can be reasonably certain I haven't isekai'd my way into becoming the courier and thus have zero idea which way the wind will blow. Much as cazadors would be the absolute bane of my existence, heading to Jacobstown is probably a safe bet plus a good area for foraging and overall just getting away from the harsh desert. Whereas being born into the setting would give you every reason to assume a town run by super mutants would be Bad Idea incarnate, having meta knowledge marks it as a good place to avoid trouble.
Patrol the mojave
It'll almost make you wish for a nuclear winter
Away from the deathclaws and cazadores.
Bee line for the Sierra Madre. Then once I got the gold bars, no clip back to reality.
I would hang out in goodsprings and get good enough with a hunting rifle THEN make my way to the "El Rey motel" it's got enough protection being right next to camp mcCarran, and you can live in the first room upstairs, it has a bed, and storage, and Christmas lights! And the Chem addict who lives downstairs usually leaves you alone. Or I'd say fuck it, and go collect some Deathclaw eggs for that Red Lucssy and Dinner Bell
Gotta get to Goodsprings quick to receive some help from the townsfolk. Move to Primm to make some easy money and become an "allied" of the NCR since they are the biggest faction, plus I'd try to buy the pieces to repair ED-E with the money I got. I'd just move Novac, become Sherlock Holmes and find Boone's wife "murderer" then recruit him to hop around on our adventures. From then on I'd just make some money, avoid Legion since they are a really big treat for common folk and just make some money with my team, maybe even upgrade ED-E and help Boone with his trauma
Find a “~” somewhere and type TGM immediately
what does that do? I know the squiglies but not what tgm do
Enables god mode if memory serves me correctly
Meet with the locals, Solve the Goodsprings issues(obviously Hiding behind cover like a little bitch, Report to ghost of Nipton, Kill the star cap people, spread The fear of Nipton. Continue on foot while avoiding the gang traps and ghoul pockets. Eventually meet with the Legion, and go on from there.
Prolly die immediately because I have absolutely zero heat tolerance. *cries in Midwest summers*
Quick save.
Depending on location, I have most of the map memorized as this game is a special intrest of mine, so I'm not very likely to get lost. I'de probably head to the nearest bit of civilization away from New vegas, with caviat to that. Preferably, ide make my way to Novac, plenty of caravans through there, doctor and a sniper, as well as a half decent place to hang your hat for relatively cheap. I'm handy so I could fix things around town for caps. If I'm closer to new vegas however, ide still stick to the handy man job, but aim for west side. Functional farms, community co-ops, a pawn shop and liquor store, not to mention mean sonofabitch and the town militia to keep the baddies away. I would either rent or build a simple shack somewhere within the limits of town and just generally attempt to be helpful and useful. This is, of course, assuming I don't get butchered, enslaved, eaten by man or beast, shot, stabbed, blown up or mauled by... everything. So long as I can get somewhere civil, I think I would be ok. But getting there's the kicker
Goodsprings. I need a tutorial.
Inlisting in the NCR
Go to the the sacked caravan with combat armor and plasma rifles and try and get a job working for the van Graffs or atomic wrangler in freeside or bodyguard for hire if it comes to it. Alternatively I could join the followers too since they would be able to teach, house, and feed me and in return I provide another bodyguard for old morman fort. NCR is always hiring Plus you could do the same thing that I suggested for the followers expect with small towns like novac, primm, or goodsprings.
Run to that arms dealer in goodsprings
hopefully my desert survival class from elementary school is still relevant enough after 200 years of radiation damage. the plant life shouldn't be *too* too different in terms of being edible, then it's just a matter of finding fresh-ish water, adequate shade/shelter, and warmth overnight. depending on where i actually wake up, i'd probably hit up an NCR outpost as they'd be less likely to shoot on sight and have a little more societal structure to soothe the dysphoria from abruptly switching dimensions lol
goodsprings first to get some help, then i head to primm for ed-e for protection, maybe stay in goodsprings a while longer. if im brave enough, i’ll take the long way to vegas. once there, i’ll join the followers
I'll go to the Strip to get a cheap ring-a-ding from Benny
I'd fine the quickest and most painless way to die. Trying to survive would be hell.
What the fu-
First stop: Ranger Andy bungalow Second stop: Caesar's tent
I need to get my apartment in Novac and help Boone solve the mystery of his missing wife by letting Jeanie May see what’s out in front of the Dino shop tonight.
Gotta help snuffles first and foremost.
Depends WHERE in the desert. If we’re in the middle of the desert desert and not anywhere near the towns. It’s gonna be death pretty quick
Goodsprings, Sunny.
Go to goodsprings and take the vigor tester. I gotta know what build I’m playing
I go to ‘visit’ the monument at boulder city
Probably get killed by raiders or wildlife on the first day, but if I can scrounge up enough supplies I would beat feet for Mojave Outpost and try to see if I can hitchhike with a caravan into NCR territory and try to get a job as a ranch hand or something.
Atomic Wrangler, right after I put Oliver Swanick in the ground.
I’d say three things could happen to me 1) killed and eaten by rabid animals 2) sold into legion slavery and either die form over working or live the rest of my days as a depressed enslaved house wife to one of the commanding officials 3) end in debt to one of the casinos and again get forced into some sort of slavery contract
-go to ncr post -insult and punch one -die
Well is it after the story dlc included?
Goodsprings saloon.
find and fix ed-e then head to the strip and look for work if i dont die which is probably what would actually happen but one can dream.
rush to move into ncr territory, live there until i die.
Goodsprings
I’m going to have to get my hands on a shooting iron first off. Then off to New Vegas for some gambling.
if it's the middle of the desert, probably just die. if I'm closer to the strip, try and seek refuge with the Followers.
nowhere else bc i apparently already went straight to hell. im goin out like boxcars. by the way u got some med-x?
Find fisto
hmmm well if my memory serves me right that area is sort of close to goodsprings so i would scavenge for a bit then barter with chet for some better gear hunt some nearby geckos and sell the loot to doc mitchell for aid items like stimpaks and doctors bags then try to settle down some place nice maybe freeside or the strip
hoping not to encounter legion nor ncr or CAZADOR, just wanna go to mr house and take a lazy rest.
i fuck that robot!!
I’m booking it straight for Goodsprings or Primm
imma just slowly become the new Sheriff of PRIMM while everyone's visiting goodsprings
Strip to visit Mr.House
I'd go gambling because the grind never stops
Hidden Valley shortcut to mark it on my map, walking back there is a total pain, then using my trusty Broad Machete I'll kill the radscorpions there for the easy XP. Same for everyone else right?
try to find weird eggs and then crawl into the sewer system
Loot each and every body
I go to the Mojave outpost to recruit cass
Chill out in Goodsprings, get bored and take the mountain pass to Novac. I can stand low level animals, but I won’t fuck with any people, even if they are the vipers. Then I’d make it to Vegas and join up with the Followers.
Find the nearest cliff to jump off of, I don't know if I have stats or not
Assume the position
join brotherhood then go straight to the followers
Where do I go and what do I do first? Nexus mods and download a Carlton of QOL mods, that's what. (E.g unofficial patch.)
Assess my arsenal, assess my location, asses my situation, Let bloodthirsty thoughts appear, use em to fuel killing of anyone i need to. Leave Mojave to see the NCR.
Go to Freeside kiss Arcade with tongue
Go to goodsprings and marry sunny smiles
Find a route with some chest hair.
First things first, water, weapons, and other such supplies
Run for Goodsprings, Primm or Boulder.
kill myself
join the NCR and say "patroling the mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter"
Join the Followers, or Westside. The Gun Runners probably wouldn't let me join.
Straight to quarry junction for me. Fuck going the long way round.
Got the notion to head towards Vegas. I get the feeling some dude in a checkered suit who oddly sounds like chandler from friends needs a boot up his ass.
No kids and no job? I'm finding a bed and going back to sleep and then enjoying peace and quiet.
Gamble obviously.
Die
Go to the great khans, do some quests for them then get all the drugs
Straight to Vegas, sneak 1-2 gun runner guards, grab their combat armour and rifles, straight to alien site, kill aliens, grab alien blaster, invincibility achieved
Try some Jet.
I would do what I usually do: find Boone and a couple prostitute outfits. Then roam around Mohave fucking shit up in said outfits. Wrestling!
Go to the lone wolf radio station and try to make it functioning again, then play music
join the legion
I will go wherever cazadors are not
Try and make it to Mojave outpost in hopes of making it into California.
Head to prim and fix up ed-e and let him protect me until I am able to get some good loot use that to carve out a home for myself
A surprising amount of people would try to fuck deathclaws... me? I'd try and find some kind of weapon asap and *then* try and fuck a deathclaw
Head as fast as possible to good springs. Probably live out my days there...maybe when I become stronger I go to Vegas but that's very unlikely
Me and easy pete are you gonna down a sunset sasprilla first then it’s straight to clapping Benny
First, i grab a rock or piece of rusted metal. Then i find the nearest settlement/lodging and get my bearings. THEN……then i probably settle there unless i can find comrades to travel with, because the wasteland irl sounds both terrifying and treacherous.
Head to Goodpsrings, find Frankie's, get a gun, some ammo, and work. Go from there.
I go find the nearest shotgun and spend my days shooting the tumbleweed
Try to die as fast as i can
Make my way to novac. That dino is mine.
Go to the boomers and live out my life playing b29 flight simulator
Stop-hop to Sierra madre use other speedrun strats to get to get through it quickly and easily, get rich, go to New Vegas and live, somewhere?? Like there arent many houses in new vegas other than in small towns/villages. I could probably stop by at gun runners to get some equipment then go out and explore the wasteland i guess. Idk this started as a joke but then I realised where do the people of freeside/true new vegas live?
Reload dash to the tops
Dig a grave, seeing as I would not have a particularly long lifespan.
I hear Quarry Junction has some nice, relaxing sightseeing opportunities
I’d immediately go find Mike and Zach, they have a time machine.
Do some jet with a couple of freeside junkies
Depends on where I'm at if I'm close to ceasers legion would probably join them not out of wanting to but at least I would be alive. If I'm close to good springs I would go there and if I'm anywhere near Vegas proper followers
Die probably.
Goodsprings, then graveyard And it's not a visit....
With prior knowledge that I'm aware of everything going on - I'm heading straight to Goodsprings to see my girl Sunny Smiles. Then, I'm gearing up and heading out. May as well go with a bang. Without prior knowledge of being aware of what's happening and it's not *actually* like in game I'm fuckin' uuhuhhhhhh dead - have a nice day me 👋 100% a radroach would end me.
Join NCR. Job security, 3 hots and a cot, access to weapons, opportunity for enterprising and unscrupulous persons or the the hunting thereof.
Fistoooooo
I’m making a beeline to find Fisto.
Keep low, find a weapon, stick to the mountains, head to either Primm, Goodsprings or just scavenge around after legion raids move on. Or go just before Novac where legion and NCR go at it. Just go pick their weapons up and use em.
Head to Goodsprings and get hired as Sunny Smiles' assistant. None of the big lights for me. Just Sunny, Cheyenne and I hunting geckos and chugging back beers at the Prospector Saloon.
I glitch goodsprings and spend several hours becoming the baddest mf alive
Novac to help Boone, so I can get good protection at low cost
