Forum:Just got the Dinner Bell

At level 6. I absolutly loved this gun and I just created a new character and booked it to The Thorn while dodging deathclaws past sloan. Went to each egg location, the fire geckos was probably the hardest because I hate caves (even though the nightstalkers were in a cave, I was able to climb many rocks to slowly take the big ones out). Long but hilarious story short, I ended up getting the Dinner Bell while only being level 6. I can now switch Hardcore on, sell all my gear except the shotgun and my abilene kid bb gun, and start my chill playthrough of roleplay in westside. Any cool quests around westside, or north vegas square? --OhMyParry 22:01, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, several quests. "Someone to watch over me" was pretty good. Multiple ways to go and decisions to make. "The White Wash" was OK. It can affect Arcade Gannon's personal quest so be aware of that. Also a unmarked conversation with a guy named Jules that will make you want to get a Trail Carbine w/ scope. are you one with the land While your "living" in Westside, see if you can find out anything about that super-mutant that lives there. The head fiend mentions him (with respect and a little fear) but he does not have many lines of dialog and only carried some molerat meat. Maybe he's cut content but I still wonder if some condition can be met to open him up; like maybe he knows Lily ? A role playing character could do well in Westside and the square. Hunting fiends and trading with Miguel. Dining at the Co-op and "doing business" with Pretty Sara. I think, to look the part, you need a Bounty Hunters Duster. BTW, what are your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats ? Squalor 14:55, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

i usually focus on a couple of certain special's and then lower the others to about 2 or 3. But this time, I have everything at 5, 6, or 7. I believe it is like this:

Strength: 6 or 7, not sure, I'll buy implant if it's 6

Perception: 6 because I want perks

Endurance: 6 or 7, maybe 7, Wanted high survival, but I'll probably leave my survival at only like 45 or 50 considering it isn't all that exciting, there should have been a cool pet system implemented within the game. Like level 15 survival is "tame young gecko". 30 would be tame coyote or something, It would be damn sick and would take the place of your non-humanoid companion, or you can have 2 non-humanoids with 0 humans. Heh, if only...

Charisma: 5 but now it is 6 because of implant, I think i wanted to get animal friend to help with getting the Dinner Bell but I'll get it anyways even though I already completed Bleed Me Dry

Intelligence: I normally have this at 8 or 9 with all my playthroughs for better skill placement, I think it is at 6 or 7 this time considering I don't require many skills in a roleplay

Agility: 5 or 6, if it's 5 I'll need an implant for perks probably

Luck: 5 or possibly 4, but I probably left it at 5 for perk reasons again

I'll be getting critical and better accuracy perks because I just got shotgun surgeon. I'll be reckless with my Dinner Bell and when things are too far and will eat me up when they are close, I'll just peg them with my Abilene Kid BB Gun with the high critical chance I plan on getting with perks.

I recently discovered the sewers and how useful they are. I never knew the same sewer system sends you to 3 of the vegas areas. Still wish i had a PC to mod me a cool hut or make my own hotel room in the casa at westside. --OhMyParry 16:17, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

Not a bad idea about training a critter. At least, we should be able to take over a pack brahmin. Maybe take a legion mongrel if we shot it with bean bag. What platform do you play on and how many play thru's have you had ? Am I saying things you already know ? Squalor 00:58, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

I've had many playthroughs, and I play on the PS3, but most playthroughs were just rushing through the main questline TOP SPEED just for trophies. But I have had one playthrough where I did MANY ncr things, almost all quests for the ncr I did. Then my one that I'm working on now where I get every unique item possible (but I reached a huge setback, i was 90% done my list of getting every unique armour/weapon/misc. item and i put on white glove attire and now my reputation with NCR, Legion, Khans, and Powder Gangers were all removed. I was liked by all of them except powder gangers, i hate them...) And lastly, I have my westside playthrough which I put on a pause to finish my list on my other character. I realized I'll get to vilified with powder gangers quick enough again, I'll be killing legion now. And as for the NCR, I don't need them much anymore. And as for the khans, I used them for their armory which I very much so need back. They sell damn good ammo and at normal price, they also purchase your stuff for normal price. So I just buy all the ammo they got, and sell them a set of combat armour. 8k caps for selling him combat armour, its awesome. --OhMyParry 02:40, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

Khans Armory rocks, they are the best source of some ammo and weapons in the game, along with the NCR quartermaster. If I had to choose between Gun Runners, NCR quartermaster and Khans Armory, the Gun Runners are out. And Dinner Bell at level 6??? Gosh, I bet was hard to get it, but now I think the game will loose some fun. LOL Also, you will never guess what weapon rocks at the lower levels: the Silenced .22 SMG! I've found one at Morning Star Cavern, was at level 6 to 7, very usefull weapon until level 13. Brfritos 04:06, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

We play very diferently. I have a Lvl 35 save where I could side with any of the 4 factions. I did all side quests first. Well, that's not even true. I went on book searches first and worked to get the Legion and Followers safehouse keys. Then used the wiki to do side quests, avoiding the ones that I needed for companions or quests that had an order to them. Now I'm exploring. At this moment i'm in a place called Zapp signs.
