Forum:Collecting and Getting Everything

With all the dlc's released I want to make a playthrough to try and get Everything and i mean everything in the mojave and beyond! Not just weapons and armor but misc. items and consumables and notes, etc.. I think it will be a long, fun process! Anyone else thinking about doing this too?? --DrunkenSushi 14:32, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

I'd send you a list of unique/cool/all dlc items in which I checked off everything I get. But... I don't know how to on this. Getting EVERYTHING, in terms of uncool things too, or useless things: that poses as even more time consuming. My game already freezes every 30min (well not freezes, it goes into that "1 frame per 2 minutes" type of lag). I'm assuming it does this because of one of the failure of a patches, or because I've discovered too many things within the game. The funky looking safe in the SINK is loaded with sooooooooooo many things. Scrolling down in that thing is pretty funny. I have like 3 celebrities' worth of wardrobe in that armor section of the stash.--OhMyParry 14:37, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

i would start by collecting the Unique items first, then get hard to find items, then start buying mods and crafting consumables. Of course, in the dlc areas, i would have to get everything in one shot.. that's just me, i don't want to have to traverse, for example, the Zion Canyon again, just for a green gecko hide. Saying that, dead money is going to be the hardest i think since you can't return. Then, after.. ohhh, 200+ hrs, i should be starting to collect all the common misc crap like spoons and plates and the random ping pong or golf ball. --DrunkenSushi 14:53, September 26, 2011 (UTC) I also want to complete every in-game challenge for every dlc and the main game, whether it gets rewarded with a perk or not. --DrunkenSushi 14:53, September 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Just about to start a game like this as soon as I install GRA. Going to have to be a bad karma/low Speech character with low rep with most factions, given you have to eat over 200 corpses, fail 100 speech checks (then pass 50) and kill named faction members of most factions for the GRA challenges.


 * Perk choice is a bit limited too, given you need Cannibal, Mysterious Stranger and Miss Fortune. Check out my blog for some lists and tips for completionists and let me know what you think I should add. --Actreal 01:53, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Good luck to you sir! I'm a prefectionist to the point of replaying and replaying a part if I don't like a certain outcome, but this feat is something I don't even have the patience for. Again good luck to you sir!! --Kid Ego 01:59, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Hint, try to GET everything before you do stuff... and plan out stuff beforehand. I just ruined my "get everything" profile because GRA has items stocked by the Van Graffs. By doing Cass's quest, in the most humain way and using speech checks. I didn't fight anyone or make hostiles. Butttttt, as I took a visit to freeside the one time after doing cass's quest the speech way, the silver rush crier took his anger out on me. Then I sniped the guard outside because he was hostile too... Was hoping the van graffs inside wouldnt have cared or noticed, but nope... I walk in like a month later (which is now...) and now I can't get any GRA energy weapons. They dont drop on death either... So ya, just a heads up.--24.36.136.171 03:26, September 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * I thought most, if not all, of the GRA energy weapons were sold by other merchants as well, such as Vendortron or Cliff Briscoe? --Actreal 03:52, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Because of downloading the latest patch or DLCs, I have the calendar glitch again. This is where everytime I reload any file, the day starts at Sunday. This REALLLLLLYYYYYY screws up shop respawn times, dead body respawns, and especially, the "3-2-1-0 ammount of days the NCR/Legion give you to live". I will try and wait like a week of in-game time to try and fix this to see if the Vendortron will sell the Van Graff's weapons. I'm assuming it can only be sold by the Vendortron if Gloria was dead before you downloaded the DLC. As for me, she was alive at the time, but hostile to me. Some GRA items I can't find without Van Graffs include 3 unique energy weps (new flamer, new gat laser, and new plasma cast) and the GRA version of the tri-beam laser rifle. Some energy weapons mods are a pain to get ahold of too. But I've noticed you don't have to wait 3 days for GRA items to restock at shops. Just go in and out of a loading screen and it will restock (example, the travelling merchant at mojave outpost sells the new kinds of mini nukes, go in and out of the outpost barracks and his shop constantly restocks)--24.36.136.171 09:56, September 29, 2011 (UTC)
