Forum:Starting Guide

Here's what I recommend for a different, fun experience.

Character creation: Set Luck to 7 or 8! Distribute remaining points as you see fit.

1. Complete all Goodsprings quests (pick up Snowglobe at cemetery)

2. Travel directly to NLV via the west most road through Bonnie Springs. Don't engage any enemies. You'll avoid Deathclaws, but will new to maneuver past Cazadores, Vipers, Fiends and Fire Geckos; much easier than it sounds. Just keep running!

3. Discover Freeside North Entrance, the Medical Clinic and Gun Runners

4. Enter Freeside, enter the Morman Fort to the left and pick up the Snowglobe. Then, loot the Van Graffs using the Stealth boy from Goodsprings.

5. Keep the good stuff and sell what you can back to the VG's, Mick and Ralph's, or Gun Runners. Head over to the Atomic Wrangler, complete the easy Debt Collector quest and play Blackjack until you win 2,000 caps. Casinos will be easy to break with your high luck trait.

6. With your caps in hand, buy your way on to The Strip and enter the Lucky 38 and the penthouse. Talk to the chick Securitron and turn in your snowglobes for a cool 4,000 caps. Do not talk to Mr. House!

7. Now, time to make some money! Break each of the casinos playing Blackjack. It will take you about 10 mins per house and you won't need to save/reload, again thanks to your high Luck trait. in lieu of the high roller suite, you'll receive Reinforced Combat Armor gift from Gomorrah, so if you only want to break one casino make it that one. Be careful not to speak with Benny at this point.

8. Next, head to the Medical Clinic and load up on implants!

9. Finally, with the extra caps have Mick repair your Van Graff loot.

Now head back to Goodsprings and resume the quest line, albeit in a much stronger position. You should be at only level 5 or 6 at this point with plenty more leveling and exploring to do!

Luck where were going we don't need luck. Also for very start of game go into the shop in goodsprings and buy leather armour. Intelligence is always a good special to put points into. Knight Captain Kerr 13:34, December 29, 2010 (UTC)
