Me and My Cat are the main characters of this game. this is what my character looks like most of the time. i have very evil karma, i help the legion, i use any weapon i want to, i always wear the armor seen in the pic, and my character always has a rough beard with the punked hairstyle, and my character is always asian. and my cat is my very first (and most loyal) companion, she shows up in doc mitchells house.but i preffer hard mode, and i always set the npcs endurance and endurance multi to max. the armor i use is talon company armor, a slave collar (i always thought they looked cool) talon company combat helmet, cat skull design eyepatch. the weapons i use is what ever weapons im in the mood for, sometimes im in a sniper mood, somtimes im in a melee weapon mood.

My cats name is Krystal the Kitten, she is a cute kitty, but, make her mad, and she will rip you to shreds, she is usually the first one to attack enemies. krystal the kitten is the mutant cat standing next to me. mutant cats are on beyond boulder dome. krystal the kitten is NOT on the mod, i made her in the geck using the mods master file. she is invulnerable, so she can not take damage. you may think my character looks weak, but he hunts deathclaws with a shovel, just for fun. he kills anyone he wants to kill. he doesnt care about anyone but himself, the legion, Beyond Boulder Dome characters, and his companions (Krystal, Willow, J.T., General. Uranium, and my deathclaw Sparky (from deathclaw commander, i changed the adult model to a mother deathclaw)). i do feel bad when i have to kill Mr.Househttp://newvegas.nexusmods.com/images/6981180-1375416311.jpg

hm, my playstyle has changed a fair bit over the past six months....

I actually only finished the games storyline this evening. this is my fourth character (discounting the freakish purple-afro'd Robin Williams lookalike I used for testing a mod I made which required a new char to test http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/tongue.gif)

the previous times, either I started fresh out of boredom (having completed all the sidequests and so on) or bugs forced me to.

finally however, with the addition of the latest patch apparently fixing my issues with Hidden Valley, I was able to progress.

 

to sum up my playstyle,

* Hardcore

* Female, Small Frame and Wild Wasteland, I also use the console to set her physical scale to 0.95. she's a little shorter than average, but not some shojo wierdness.

* Living out of my own mini vault - A Vault For Two

* Blue-Tiger variant Assassin's Suit unless I'm dressing up fancy or armoured, or testing out a mod. paired typically with a Golden coloured ballistic mask, night vision eyepiece (and hood) and a Desperado Hat.

* Blackwolf's Backpacks. the +70 and the larger hip-bag.

* no more than 5k caps at any time, I store the rest in the safe in the vault, along with any other currency I pick up (including incidentally, all the gold bars from Dead Money)

* usually less than 200 rounds of whatever ammo I need for the specific weapons set I'm carrying

* Weapons set started out primarily energy based with my Scarab Laser Rifle as the mainstay, but with the creation of my new Frag-12 mod, I've switched to 12Gauge shotguns. all of them. specifically the riot-shotgun, and my unique scoped and silenced hunting shotgun. The Paradox. which I will release shortly.

* no handguns. there's never any point. exceptions are the Archimedes 1 control gun and the Compact Laser Pistol

 

 

* Veronica, Willow, JT (the dog from the same mod as Willow), Doc Friday (NVB2) and Mr Fatso (my unique out-scale protectron) make up my complete companion lineup, however typically most of them live in the vault. I typically take only Veronica and Willow out. JT has lived in the vault since I got him.

As a rule, all my followers wear the same outfit as me, though their weapons typically reflect their personalities, Veronica wields either the Scarab or a powerfist variant of some form, usually the Displacer gauntlet. Willow prefers her own rifle.

 

 

My ethos in the game is loyalty to the employer. whoever hires me first gets my undivided loyalty, and I never betray them. Mr House hired me to do the job. I made absolutely certain to work to his ends. I felt by the end that I deserved all the praise and reward he heaped on me.

I tracked benny down, he sent me up to the penthouse (left a girl hanging! the swine!) while he made his getaway. so I made my way to Caesar's Camp to track him down (once House had instructed me to do his mission there, job comes first, then revenge.) once there, I let my sense of fair play get the better of me, and challenged Benny to a machete duel.

I literally walked through hoover dam killing every poor soul who had the misfortune to get between me and Mr House's objectives.

I blew away every last person in the Legate's Camp until I met the Legate himself. then I talked to him, persuaded him that it would be in his best interests to turn around and leave before I took the time to kill him myself.... Then I forced Gen Oliver at gunpoint to sign an unconditional surrender on behalf of Mr House.

 

I like to think of my character as a consumate professional. very quiet natured but competent, rooting for the best outcome, and I personally believe that Mr House's way is the best for all mankind. so I've supported him, given him my personal loyalty and allegiance. (IRL, not just as a character. his viewpoints mirror my own quite closely) I honestly don't think I've ever given a fictional character my loyalty before http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/tongue.gif

 

My character wears a ballistic mask whose perfect features conceal the (rumoured) badly scarred face beneath. it distances her from her enemies and her allies as surely as my computer screen distances me from them. I literally have forgotten what she looks like under that mask.

 

The character herself has evolved too over the months I've played her. she started out quite innocent and skittish. a terrible shot and worse at melee. the tag skills I picked were medicine, lockpick and repair. everything else was piss-poor. it was in keeping with her character when benny was able to fool her into going to the penthouse without him while he made his getaway. her trip through primm however cemented her skills with a rifle. picking up a laser rifle in Nipton started her off on a long love-affair with the recoiless joy that is energy weapons. it was entering Vault 34 in search of the source of radiation there that compelled her to search for something with a little more punch. to which she devised 12-gauge explosive shells, dubbed "Frag-12". use of this ammunition lead to use of other projectile weapons, and soon she was wielding a hunting rifle and riot shotgun, her huge laser and plasma weapon collection left almost forgotten in the vault.

Her Melee skills never improved, her survival skills were minimal, enough to purify water and cook food if necessary, which it rarely was. pack-lunches were the rule. meals were eaten in restaurants, the Gourmant being a popular venue. though the Atomic Wrangler was easier reach.

Later on however, as her skillset improved, she became a highly lethal bounty hunter, known throughout the mojave as someone who got things done, or at least killed. though as the newspapers reported, she wasn't very good at talking her quarries down. typically they started shooting immediately and had to be put down.

liberal use of full-auto frag-12 rounds usually sufficed for this.

Oddly, use of traditional explosives like mines and grenades was never popular. the odd grenade or dynamite was used early-game, but later, their main use was in being broken down for use in Frag-12.

 

My rules when playing are that she does nothing I wouldn't do in her shoes. no murder and pillaging for me. though the frankly extreme badassery of the one-woman assault on NCRCF and the endgame battles go well beyond what I'd be likely to do even if I had her firearms skill and uncanny survivability when it comes to bullets http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/tongue.gif

Like me, she plays the Violin and her favourite colour is a sorta bluey purple.

 

anyhow, since I'm sure only one in every three people are likely to read this far.....some pics for you guys http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/tongue.gif
