Can You Beat Fallout: New Vegas With Only Binoculars?

[@user-crane]

Imagine if having the Terrifying Presence perk actually made the binoculars do damage? Or just staring at people at that point.

(I don't write my own speeches.) Only the bare fists are allowed as weapons. If this is too tedious, the ballistic fist is alright to use sometimes because of the giant flame pillars he makes in his final phase. (Don't fuck with this senator!) Side with the yes man and destroy all 3 other main factions. (every man should be free to fight his own wars!) Besides that, the rest is up to you; I'm sure you know the simple things like taking the toughness perk and I want you to be free to make this run as extensive or restrained as you want.

[@craigbolton2231]

There actually is a way to do a binoculars run with the first set of binoculars. Boon has that spotter perk once you max out his quest line. It let's you point out enemies for him to snipe. As far as I know he will always hit the target no matter the distance. So it wouldn't have to be a traditional pacifist run.

[@cdogthehedgehog6923]

Uh no. It just highlights where creatures are when zooming in.

[@RapTapTap69]

Nah it's not like fo4. You get the perk while you have the companion and their companion quest improves their stats. Boone can either get a damage increase or a damage resistance increase depending on the courier's choices. In fo4 you need to max out affinity and complete the companion quest to unlock a permanent perk independent of your standing with the companion.

The minuscule damage and aggro that the beam is inflicting is how Fallout 3 (and New Vegas by extension) deals with scripts being tied to a projectile weapons. I did encounter it during my creation of Zap-Away! mod for FO3 back in the day. Zero damage weapon never triggered the script that the impact should start. So I had to change the damage to 1 for it to work as desired.

Kinda unrelated, but I thought of it when you pickpocketed Benny… I think it wore pretty dope if these games had a “VATS Pickpocket” system, where once your sneak skill is high enough, if the target is in a crowded place, you go into vats and click a button to pickpocket, then you’re shown the inventory and you pick your item. Once you’ve made your choices and are all set, you trigger the VATS Pickpocket and your character would do a more realistic pickpocket grab, by doing a bump-and-snatch, or something like like that. It would play a little animation where you bump into them, apologize and pat them and acquire your item. If your sneak is too low, you get caught, but if your speech is high enough you could play it off like they just accidentally dropped the item and you picked it up or something.. if your agility or pickpocket is really bad you might just knock them down causing them to get angry and maybe become hostile. Also, it would be cool if you only had a few chances, and some characters are more suspicious or aggressive and some people are oblivious dummies, so if you try to bump into them repeatedly they might just get angry, call you a drunk and attack you, or a suspicious individual might just assume you’re stealing anyway, while an aloof person might be completely oblivious no matter how many tries you take. Personally, I think that Bethesda games should lean harder into the more niche play styles like Stealth, giving us more varied lockpick mini games, better pickpocket (like my idea) and perhaps the ability to frame others or shift blame when caught if you have high speech.. lots of people enjoy stealthy play and being criminals or Robin Hood style Wanted Avengers! I hope they make Fallout 5 and TES 6 more complicated, and not continue to simplify like they did for the last games. F4 and Skyrim are still amazing games and I’m glad to have them, but they definitely took the complexity down a huge notch from previous games.
