Look up the ingredients for Weapon Repair Kits and never sell those ingredients, repair kits will save you thousands of caps over having people repair things and using weapons you could sell as repair items. Skill books are much more rare than in F03 and the magazines only give you a temporary boost. Save your skill books until you get the second perk. Take the perk for an extra +2 skill points / level (educated?) ASAP, then the perk for doubling the effect of magazines and gaining +1 from skill books. Keeping a Wasteland Doctor outfit lets you add +5 medical when needed. Why Hardcore mode is disabled and grayed out in gameplay menu settings I am an 'expert' of Fallout 3 and I would like to start my first playthrough in New Vegas with Hardcore mode ON. Look at clothing effects - if like me you put almost no points into Barter then finding a roving trader hat and outfit gives you +10 to Barter. If you ever see a sniper rifle silencer, buy it right then! This can be a problem if you're looking for specific weapon mods like silencers. Love New Vegas, played it multiple times but never ventured into the Hardcore Mode.Ill be doing it live on Twitch so Im fairly certain there will be plenty of tears. Dealer stock is replenished once a week(?) and is somewhat random.

I haven't wanted to bother with all of that so said no to it. It’s obvious that the developers have drawn on Mad Max, in both the detail of the world and the relentless storylines of survival. I had a post apocalyptic weekend, finishing Fallout: New Vegas and watching Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior in the space of 24 hours. Hardcore is separate from that: you must eat and drink, you can be crippled, gun ammo has weight, and companions can die. Why Hardcore mode is soft: Fallout New Vegas. If you've played FO3 already I'd suggest playing the game on Hard or even Very Hard difficulty since at least on Very Hard the game gives you access to better guns.
