To be fair, the tape they use for boxing/fighting isn't just any old tape. So I doubt just anyone would have it and duct tape is too big and rigid to use for fighting. It's also not as durable as you'd think against constant kinetic force. (Yes yes, "way to ruin the joke".)

I'm pretty sure I saw a vid like this. The toy knife can only be repaired by a vendor, and it breaks after few hits. You can't beat Point Lookout with it, due to it breaking in "kill-'em-all" sections, and it can't damage the end boss.

[@Perry_the_Clobbopus]

The reason you couldn't save kimball was because of a bug. The same thing happens when wearing legion armor. Disguises essentially set your faction rep while wearing them.

[@zhitchcresttail3387]

I learned that the hard way once when the best armor I had was Centurion armor and I put it on when the assassins showed up to fight them, and then failed the mission and was murdered by my fellow NCR members as the assassins succeed in killing Kimball.

[@zevvez_]

Same thing with the brotherhood when setting off the bunker.

[@abhaybhatt4286]

I don't think it's a bug, just a quirk of how faction armor works. Resets your rep to neutral when disguised regardless if you actually have a good or bad standing with them. Useful for getting a desired dialogue out of Ulysses in Lonesome Road even if you're idolized by multiple factions

[@raidenpz]

@@abhaybhatt4286 The bug is that sometimes the change is permanent. Though according to the video he was wearing the faction armor while talking to House and blowing up the BoS.

[@rickytickybobbywobbin7430]

I don’t know how the bug works for everyone, but I’ve always had the issue if I didn’t directly remove the faction armor, close the pipboy, then equip another faction, the flags get stuck. For example, if I’m wearing legion armor and equip a tuxedo without removing the legion armor, it’d often get the faction flags stuck as if I was wearing legion armor. Only way I know to fix is to re-equip then unequip. Thankfully you’ll also get the corner notification telling you you’re in disguise, at least every time I noticed I had glitched it

you should try the rad child perk in one of these high endurance and strength builds.

When you have a high DT it'll regenerate health faster than you lose it so it makes you pretty much invulnerable

In an unarmed build, get a decent standing with each faction, then you can learn the ranger takedown (ncr) legion assault, khan trick and if you give veronica a dress you can learn the scribe counter. These moves along with the perk that knocks enemies over make unarmed builds so much more fun and whilst not relevant to this playthrough, if you equip 'love and hate' and unarmed build becomes insanely powerful. I killed the legate in around 20 seconds

I just tried a similar build recently. With the help of Med-X, slasher, Battlebrew, and some turbos, you could wipe out the entire quarry junction pretty easily even on very hard. And a tip for your future playthrough: you could take the rad child perk when you're going to receive a lot of damage, it will save you tons of healing supplies. Your narrative style is great, keep up the good work!

Hi Nerbit! I've been watching your content for a while but decided to sub the other week after the way you did the Burke challenge and advertised it. I thought I'd ask a question/offer some feedback. Do you have a list of more challenges like this in mind? I ask because the issue with this type of video is the answer to 'can you beat f3/nv with x weapon' is always 'yes, eventually' - so there's a risk of things getting a bit samey/stale, even if you are siding with different factions each time, building different types of character each time, etc. So I recommend perhaps that you start looking at more house rules (heh) to make these challenges a bit more dynamic/interesting - especially if there's sincere potential to fail. Alternatively, maybe consider moving more towards the unique challenges like the Kowalski/Burke following you - more of a time trial element than just gimping yourself with a weaker weapon. You could even use mods to set up some challenges if you wanted, and if you're running low on ideas, offering the community a chance to suggest/decide on a challenge might be cool! Either way, your commentary makes the content enjoyable and entertaining to watch regardless, so it you have a bunch of other weapon-only challenges in mind and feel you can commentate them without getting burned out from repeating the same areas etc over and over, then great! It's entirely up to you, of course, but I thought I'd offer some feedback that might be useful. I hope it isn't taken the wrong way! I see your channel has grown a lot in recent weeks which is awesome to see, you thoroughly deserve it. Onwards and upwards - I'll be here no matter what!
