Forum:Dead Money - Hardcore

When I got to the Sierra Madre I lost the need to sleep. After finishing the DLC I get +1 Agility for wearing casual clothing (including light armor). Is this right or a glitch ?

I gave up trying to get through Dead Money without some form of constant healing. I had to load a pre-DLC save and Intense Train Endurance to add the Monocyte breeder. Has anyone got through without constant healing ? Squalor 20:04, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

I don't know about the +1 Agility bit but I know that when I went through Dead Money on hardcore I injected myself with adrenaline at the autodoc because there is no place to sleep in the DLC. It may be active automatically but I know I took the option at the autodoc. It lasts the entire dlc, if you get maxed sleep(1000) you die, since there's no place to sleep they only force you to eat and drink in dead money. And squalor I went through without constant healing, but by the time I was half way to the tower to start the thingamagiger to get into the casino I got overwhelmed and turned it from Very Hard(which I played on until just after the companions were all in place to start Heist of the Centuries) to normal.--Blakebutters 16:05, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

Thanx for your insight Blakebutters; I remember the adrenaline option on the Autodocs but never tried it. I was able to sleep in one of the jail cells when I played Normal but didn't see the point in Hardcore. My sleep meter was pegged low without a reading when I arrived at the fountain. My Rads were purged and zero but I was able to take on rads in the trough with the automatic Rifle and a Deans Stash. I did not get the Casual Clothing bonus till I returned to the Mojave. I hope it was NOT a bug because I started a new character with a Agility of 9 instead of my usual 10. Squalor 03:17, July 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * But you are having the bug were the amount of health you lose is always increased to the point the DLC becomes unplayable or you are losing health in a constant pace? If you are playing Dead Money in hardcore mode that's the normal behaviour, the Cloud erode your health over time and you need constant healing when walking in open areas. The +1 AGL is indeed a bug, when you wear a clothe that give the bonus and then sell it in a vending machine, the bonus continue to be applied, regardless the armor you are using. The sleep meter being stuck is also a bug, you need to sleep in a bed for the meter start to move again. Brfritos 19:25, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

Thanx Brfritos, I can count on you to be well informed. Those last two bugs, I can take advantage of. The first one was a killer. A trip from the fountain to the police station at run-sneak speed would cost me about 50 health. I hear the perk Solar Powered works there, do you agree ? I'm going to try again with my new character to get through the Villa without a constant-healing perk. Also, off the subject, Brfritos; what are your two favorite Traits ?
