If you asked me 2 weeks ago if I'd ever play new vegas again I'd have flatly said no. There are games I've played to death and then there is the one game I own on steam with a play time clock in quadruple digits. Hbomberguy's video got to me, though. It made me think about how ridged my playstyle was and how I only ever played Lonesome road once. For years I'd get tired 20 hours into a run and bail. NO MORE.
I'm much more comfortable with the mod manager now and it wasn't long until I had all of the guns and most of the textures looking... well not AMAZING but pretty damn good considering. Since I left the mod community they added an incredible 300+ radio new vegas catalogue and a handy Fallout 4 style loot preview.

All this adds up to me falling in love for the first time in 5 years. I'm staying away from stealth, speech, and medicine as well as sticking to the one perk every other level rule; which I've never stomached before. Suffice it to say... being a mealy mouthed dim wit instead of a silver tongued genius kicks me out of a lot of early quests and I've had to hustle 2,000 caps in other ways.
Yes, I have an encyclopedic knowledge of where all the best guns and skill books are but I've forgotten enough about NV's ingenious traps to get myself into trouble and I'm just... sucked in. I'm also sure I've never reached 2,000 caps this fast either. I'm both better and worse at this game than I remember and for a game I've practically memorized that's pretty remarkable.
