Vendor Trash

I don't get why the devs bother putting paint gun in NV, really. It's heavy, and no quest need it, too. In F3, at least it's useful to manufacture a really useful Dart Gun. At top of it, I found paint gun almost everywhere!

Well people can always just use console commands and get more than enough books. But where is the fun that?

If you are doing that already why not simply raise your skill level with the console directly.

afaik sensor modules can be used in crafting some of the specialty explosives, like the powder charge.

Yes. Gas Bomb, Powder Charge & the Bottlecap Mine all require a sensor module to craft. There are also quests that involve the use of sensor modules to complete.
 
And don't forget that sensor modules are used to repair ED-E.
 
tonight i'm going to add a LOT of items to this list, any help on eliminating anything that isn't vendor trash would be appreciated, but also, i'd like to get to this old world blues base to work on the skill books asap..

however i'm hearing that old world blues should be done last in another thread, is there a rapid way to get to the base to use the special items without actually doing that content? (i'm pretty low only lvl 11)

thanks for any assistance :)

PLUNGERS!!! Argh!!! There is one in every toolbox, for Pete's sake! That and ashtrays....but it makes sense because apparently just before the bombs fell everyone in America simultaneously quit smoking and discarded every carton in the nearest dumpster, trash can, or metal box. I could start a chain of friggen tobacco stores...

On a side note, I feel that the doctor's bag is basically obselete with the introduction of the healing poultice from Honest Hearts.
 
Then how are you going to heal your limbs up until you complete Honest Hearts? That first part of the game before you reach Vegas is the part where your limbs will be getting broken the most.
 
Well, on this go around, I snuck straight through the crack between Black Mountain and the Quarry to get to the northern territories. So by level 2 I was in Utah. I didn't have any trouble from then on.
 
Hydra already renders Doc's bags obsolete if you ask me. Yeah, it's pretty rare, but unless you have Small Frame or are are unlucky, limbs don't cripple that often (unless you meet two Vipers with grenade rifles at the same time- I swear they have pinpoint accuracy with these damn things...). Just pop one and huzzah, all limbs at max condition.

That said, I am a wuss who primarily uses guns in combat, no melee.

If you use Project Nevada then your limbs will be getting crippled a lot. The side-effects of being crippled are also a lot worse than in the vanilla game, so it's harder to deal with.

MAD PROPS for this post, thank you very much for the assistance, exactly what i was looking for, i really appreciate it, does that mean the rest of the stuff up there is in essence vendor trash?

I smoke in real life so I kind of like carrying a packet of cigarettes on my character all the time.

Some items may be useless in regards to pragmatics but they may be of value to some people, one man's trash is another man's treasure they say.
 
I can totally see that from a roleplaying perspective. My main point is that they seem so carelessly discarded all over the wastes...in my OWB playthrough alone I collected over 40 cartons and that's just because I stopped gathering them :) It seemed as though every single container in the Big Empty had a carton or a pack inside. I always collected them because even before Dead Money and those ever-so-handy vending machines they were still good for bartering with the locals and yocals, know what I mean?

As for the person who doesn't buy DLC's....come on...who doesn't buy DLCs? ;) All of them are totally worth 10 bux IMO (I do realize some can't or are unable to get them). I do lament the fact that I am not on a PC and cannot download all those sweet mods available :/

Us console people get controllers and get to sit back and relax while the PC crowd get stuck with a keyboard and having to sit forward with their faces right up to the screen.

Because it's clearly impossible to connect the pc to a big screen

Oh wait

Eh, I don't actually care about platform rivalries, I wasn't making a serious challenge to the PC crowd at all.
