I played the game for the first time (without the DLCs) as a melee weapons, neutral, NCR~Mr. House leaning character who finaly choose the Yes Man route to sole power over New Vegas and decimated the legion fort, alone, just before the battle of Hoover Dam.
The thing I liked the most is how worry and maintenance free melee weapons were. No bullets to buy, no weapons to buy to maintain the current ones. Also, being quasi indestructible due to high endurance was cool.
Are there any other builds that don't require too much maintenance/minmaxing and are fun ? (I'm not interested in doing an unarmed build rn, but I could be convinced by some really cool stuff I may not know about them)
After achieving the canonical ending, your protagonist wakes up in Doc's office. Something is wrong. They've been here before.
They eventually theorize they are in a simulation or dream. Some sick mother fucker is making them experience the horrors again, and it seems this omnipotent being wants them dead. New threats exist where there were none. Everything looks a bit different, sharper. When they prevail, the being gets desperate. This not of this world start appearing. Dragons, aliens, anthropomorphic Choo Choo trains. Will they survive? Is God playing games with them? Are they even real?
(TL;DR Mod your game to hell and back with no regard for canonical consistency and your protagonist is aware of the discrepancies and has to deal with them while having prior knowledge of this world and it's major plot points)
I would, but managing mods for bethesda games is something I would not wish on my worst enemy ๐ So I'll stay with VivaNewVegas
