Forum:Skipping Half The Game In New Vegas

Well there is a way to skip half the game 1st you will need a stealth boy[obtained by killing the powder ganger leader when she is talking to owner of drinking place in goodsprings] 2nd atleast lv 3 or 4 3rd knows how to sneak past enemies.

K well when u obtain these things you will go straight until u get to a miner that says its to dangerous to go due to deathclaw problem now if you keep going u will see some deathclaw use stealth boy and sneak past them thus you will then skip half of the game if u talk to benny now i wont go to exact details on how to do this message me if you want to know more im just giving the main part of this glitch or secret or whatever you may call it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ShotgunRigo (talk • contribs).

It's not a glitch or a secret. It was obvious and everyone knew this as a possibility. You aren't skipping anything, because the story is determined by you and how much you play, and going straight to New Vegas doesn't mean that you "beat the designers" it simply means that you are a dick and decided to cheat rather than have fun. p.s. I hate you.

All your doing is getting to the strip quicker, you'll still have to go discover all the places you bypassed. If you wanna skip half the game, side with the legion. You won't have to do all those pesky NCR missions. (75% of the game) I don't know if its actually 75% but it sure seems like it.Pappy002 06:52, April 14, 2011 (UTC) p.s. there's no reason to hate for sneaking past Deathclaws, they are hard as hell to kill. I don't blame you.

Yeah, you could do that, I guess.. You'd have to run like F*** though, considering how long a stealthboy lasts for. But really, what'd be the point? It wouldnt be any fun to get to the strip and then realise you're too puny and weak to actually carry on anywhere... And what's the point in playing an incredibly immersive, very long, rpg if you just want to skip to the end ASAP? Just go play battlefild if you want to play a poor game that your average ADHD suffering 12 year old could complete in a few hours..

There's no need for a stealthboy though, I did this to get the int implant at level 1 when seeing how to max a char. Just leave the docs and head just right of the war memorial (big cross). Watch to make sure you do not run into any coyotes (will have to fight them if you do and get XPs which is bad if you want the max skill points), and make sure you go down the hill on the right side of the war memorial so you don't tag the location (XPs). Turn about 20 degrees left as you crest the hill near the war memorial so you are heading towards the bridge (a bit north of the railroad car of you cannot see the bridge), a radscorpion will sometimes aggro on you but just keep running full bore towards the bridge and try to jump up on any rocks you see (radscorpions don't do turns and also don't do climbing well). Go under the bridge (stop to loot the bright follower if you want, not necessary), and turn north keeping to the right side of the road, there is another railroad car which you want to bear right of) to avoid tagging Quarry (XPs, bad) and so you don't have to listen about the Deathclaws you cannot do anything about. Stay on the right shoulder of the road/railroad tracks until you come to a fork in the road heading east and take it until you learn the location of Neil's Shack (cannot avoid these XPs sorry, but if you have been good about it you should still be in no danger of getting to level 2). go through Neil's shack, talk to Neil and all and cross the road so you are on the left side, east of Neil's actuiall shack.  Look to your left (NNWish) and head towropes the "wall" of rocks you will not be able to climb over, atay away from the road and head towards the wall, when you get to the wall turn left (west) and hug the wall continuing onward, falling occasionally for no damage - it is a good idea to crouch when the wall you are hugging turns north not essential - and a deathclaw will spot you and try to get to you but because of the terrain the deathclaw will have to go around so far they will get bored. As you hug the wall look for a high power line tower, you want to leave the wall when that tower is due north of you (leave earlier and a Deathclaw can get you). From there head towards the Repconn building which should be a tad east of north in front of you, stop there (10 XPs) and loot the 4 dead fiends in the lobby for some loot to tun into cash, and head North to the Freeside gate, being careful to avoid the caravan ambush site and the NCR Greenhouses (bad XPs), and head into freeside, being careful not to kill anyone who attacks you in freeside (mick & ralph will take care of them for you if you duck into the shop, the attackers will follow you). Sell repconn loot and hit the Atomic Wrangler for some blackjack (only blackjack, you get XPs from gambling) until you have enough cash to afford the INT implant (4000 caps unless your int is really low). The head out to the New Vegas medical clinic (outrunning anyone attacking you, let them follow you into the Clinic if they want to die) and get the implant, if you are careful you can get the INT implant at only 140 XPs.

If you want to max a char it is possible, but it does kind of ruin the experience and the temptation to fast travel to New Vegas (gun runners, another implant, pick up sniper rifle/plasma rifle/plasma defender/leaver action shotgun/other weapon laying around lose in NV area, skill books) is going to be there if you are trying to make an otherwise "straight" run. 75.67.224.12 19:31, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
