Forum:Fallout Fun--ideas to get you playing again!

I just wanted to share what I like to do in FO3, when it starts getting drab for me. I always find a way to make it refreshing...it always is when you start a new char, but you don't always WANT to do that. These will also work for NV as well.

First, go to your home in either Megaton or Tenpenny Tower. Store EVERYTHING you have, including the cloths on your back. I mean everything, caps, misc items, weapons, ammo, food, drugs, EVERYTHING you own. Now, ramp up the difficulty to hard or very hard. Now grab ONE piece of armor, preferably something like a raider outfit or a wasteland settler outfit, or even a merc outfit. Now chose one gun and one melee weapon such as a combat knife as backup, and give yourself maybe 20 or 30 rounds of ammo for the gun. Once done, grab around 15 caps or so. Take a few stims, but no more than 5. ***For NV, get a few bottles of water and some food***. Now just go out into the wasteland, and see if you can go from a broke, barely armed wanderer to a rich, armed to the teeth wastelander. See how long you can survive. Don't fast travel either, walk wherever you need to go. Wander the wasteland looking for crap to scavenge and sell.

This is INCREDIBLY fun in FO3, and it is fun in NV too, but due to the vast population, it doesn't have the exact same feel. Doing this on HC mode is a must in NV. Just go around, wandering, trying to survive. I know it doesn't seem all that great, but TRUST me, it is VERY fun. It will revitalize your FO3 and FONV games, I promise. --SergeantDornan 03:37, February 17, 2011 (UTC)
