Things we learned from New Vegas

110. Getting set on fire is only a minor annoyance for most creatures in the wasteland. Humans will barely notice the flames that engulf them and walk it off.
 
111. Deathclaws can tolerate such minor annoyances as lasers, .50 BMG ammo capable of ripping a vehicle apart, flamethrowers, incendiary rounds (which ignite scaly, presumably cold-blooded creatures somehow) and mini-nukes without much trouble. Flare guns, however, will make them run for their lives.

(not in the spirit of the thread but I had to say it) 112. Few things are more satisfying than killing an entire pack of Cazadores with one explosive round.
 
113. Amen ;)

114. Despite being a relatively small religion, Mormonism has managed to outlive everything else.

That actually makes sense, with Mormons living out in the middle of nowhere and storing caches of food.

I think it's quite reasonable that Mormonism would outlive pretty much everything else.
 
115. The NCR must be pretty incompetent with their transferals, ebcause it takes the whole game for General Oliver to go from Mc Carran to Hoover Dam.

Indeed. It's long been LDS church doctrine that each member should have sufficient food and supplies stored away to allow them to be self-reliant in times of serious need, and it could be said that there's a least a modest survivalist/disaster shelter enthusiast sub-community to be found within the faith, especially in remoter areas. They've also got a fallout shelter buried 600 feet into the side of a mountain, and there have long been urban legends of a shelter located underneath Salt Lake Temple. If there were to be a nuclear holocaust, the Mormon church would hit the ground running.
 
That and Joshua Graham says that it's a New Canaan right of passage to learn how to operate, clean and maintain M1911's so they wouldn't be adverse to fending off nastiness with bullets.

Not sure if real Mormons do that, but that does sound like it's a lot more useful than sending off everyone over the age of 16.
 
The Mormons put down roots in the old west. Historically, in the beginning, they were very handy with their guns. They ruled their region with an iron fist and even the US Military was cautious with them. They even commited a massacre or two. It's in modern times that they've come to be viewed as more pacifist. But historically, the militant potential is there.

Right and it's the double standard that is so irritating, especially in a series like Fallout. Turning Veronica into companion a l'orange is fine, but enjoying a smoke after a hard day of gecko skinnin' is somehow taboo.

Don't forget that you're liable to have shot dead six or seven people before you've even left the first town. Just to recap,

Murder: Okay.
Smoking: Not okay.
 
116. A bullet fired from a super strong rifle can kill instantly but the same person can survive 30 weak bullets into his or hers unprotected face.

117. No matter how little cloth you have before, if you remove that clothing a pair of boxers and a t-shirt will suddenly appear on your body.

118. Running around non-stop does not make you wish for a nuclear winter

119. Any merchant despite what they're trading in will offer the same amount of caps for everything and are more than willing to give away all their spending money for your random useless crap.

120. People might attack you for stealing a broken cup from a litter bin.

121. After 200 years there is still plenty of pre-war food, medicine, weapons and ammo lying around untouched by prospectors.

122. Children make up 0,5 % of the population and are immortal.

123. Racism does not exist in a post-apocalyptic world full of poorness and desperation. Yeah yeah bigotyu against ghouls and SM:s but seriously would no care about race anymore, you when when we're basicly back at the dark ages? And were the vast majority looks the same?

124. Climbing is impossible.
 
125. One of the most important lessons they drill into you at NCR boot camp: the instant you cross the line from "normal-looking ghoul" to "feral ghoul," you absolutely must remove your boots.
 
155 - A Nuclear Warhead blast radio is no larger than about 20m.

156 - If you get exposed to lethal amounts of radiation and then the wind rips your skin off you will become the toughest creature in the wasteland.

157 - Some people are so lazy they can't even bother reading thread to at least make sure they are numbering their list right.
 
I learned that the BoS out west (The actual BoS) is much more BadArse than the one out east. and that Tribals are fun to play as.

Oh, not what this thread was about. Nevermind.
