Forum:Anybody try a speed run?



I can beat New Vegas in a little over 2 hours but I was wondering if there are any other ways to have a good speed run of the game (without using console commands) How I speed ran the game, - Have 10 Luck and Wild Wasteland - Tagged Speech, Lockpick (third skill doesn't matter), put all your skill points into Speech - As soon as you leave Doc Mitchell's house, run to the Schoolhouse, pick the lock and get a stealthboy - Go North towards Sloan, use the stealthboy to avoid the Deathclaws - Keep North, ignore enemies until you reach Freeside - Play at the Wrangler until you have 2000 caps - Meet Mr House, go to Tops, confront Swank - you should have enough speech to convince him to let you bring weapons - Convince Benny to meet you alone, kill him (I had the weathered 10mm so it was easier than using a default 9mm) - Get chip, talk to Yes Man - Go to the Alien Ship and obtain the blaster, if you're poorly equipped this part can take a while. I tagged unarmed earlier and used brass knuckles from Holdout to kill the Aliens. The blaster will allow you to survive later parts of the game, especially the Legionaries at the final battle - Go back to Mr House, don't confront him, just go straight to the terminal with the chip and unlock it, run past the securitrons, kill Mr House - Skip the quest Wild Card: You and What Army - Run around the Mojave, visit each tribe/casino but don't do any of their quests (this part takes the greatest amount of time), the casinos are easy to find, and if you ran through the area South of Vegas there are locations that are close to Red Rock and Hidden Valley. Also, tagging survival and putting points into that skill to get the Travel Light Perk is a big help. - Return to Yes Man, to Wild Card: Finishing Touches but don't help Kimbell - Begin No Gods, No Masters, avoid the major fighting but use the blaster to fend off enemies that can't be avoided such as the Praetorian Guard - Confront Lanius, if you kept putting all your points into speech you should have 100 by now. - Confront Oliver, beat game
