Nightsolo's Fallout New Vegas Guide Introduction

Disclaimer

The use of game-editing programs has unpredictable effects. If you use one of these programs, the information in this guide may be null and void.

This guide is not 100% complete, and probably never will be. No matter how many times I go through this guide, I'll always miss something. If you find any errors please let me know.

Also, most of the stuff mentioned in this guide is copyright Interplay, Black Isle, Obsidian, Bethesda, or somebody else.

Stuff to Know

I assume you've read the manual (available in the installation folder) and have some idea how to play, how the interface works, etc. The manual also contains descriptions for Traits, Perks, and Skills, so I won't go into those in this guide.

Even though this guide provides all the solutions to puzzles and such, you still need to perform all the actions for the solution to work. The game won't give you something unless it recognizes that you've performed the prerequisites for it.

I occasionally get confused when talking about directions. Up, down, left, and right are usually towards that side of the screen. North, South, East, and West are usually map directions, but can correspond to screen directions as well.

I use several abbreviations in this guide. Here are some:

EXP or XP - EXperience Points
AP - Action Points
HP - Hit Points
FMV - Full Motion Video
NPC - Non Player Character

Certain things are highlighted in color:

Items are writen in bold.
Quest Items are written in red.
Locations are written in green.
Skills are written in yellow.
