^All sounds great.
The car yeah, seen a lot of crazy stuff like that. Makee no sense.
You did great at the deathclaw sanctuary, way to go.
There's some good fighting over at the Brewer's shack, tons of Cazadores.
West of the Sunset Sass HQ. and up in the hills. Take a lot of antivenom.
I think there's a star cap in there as well. Same with the Powder Gang vault.
This play through I managed to get both red and blue access cards, but you cant
really do both missions, its like either one or the other. When you blow up
the cave, that uses up the sulfur the other guy wanted for explosives.
So I reloaded and just did the one and then asked Papa Khan to let 'em in.
Star cap in Jacobstown as well, the surrounding mountain areas that border
Red Rock are loaded with enemy life, and the dead super mutant there is where
I found my first fatman. Still only have like a half a dozen mini-nukes though.
About getting to the strip, I think they definitely want you to do Nipton early
on so you get a feel who you are up against. My 2nd game I took the Vex's advice,
spread the word, and remained friends with the Legion for 75% of the game until
it came time to start doing stuff with Boone. There is so much NCR stuff early on as well,
so you are right they want you to learn about those 2 factions. I wished there was
more with the Brotherhood but they just don't fit in this story like they did in FO3.
Some of the west side missions for Crandon are pretty heavy, you might get XP
there especially with the guy with the .44 ammo crafting recipe, but u probably did those.
The one with the daughter and mother really made me realize this is a speech-oriented
game so 2nd file I am almost maxed. Hope they raise the level cap on next DLC but
some players will be maxed out on skills so it's probably not likely.
