Fall out: new vegas question

[Best of the 3]

Because of that whenever I'm in an area with gouls now I play in 3rd person. Yep, I'm a wuss.

I do this with scorpions and Mirelurks, but the companion system in New Vegas means sometimes your buddy will critical kill an enemy you didn't even know was there...

Imagine calmy wandering around and you suddenly a flaming giant radscorpion flashes onto your screen in VATS accompanied by a loud bang...

I nearly put a hole in the ceiling.

I find it worse when it goes into a cinematic kill when your parrty kills an enemy. It just zooms very quickly on them and makes me jump every time, espcially when you had no idea that they were there.

Actually I had this happen when killing some Nightkin. One of them charged at me but luckily my party took it out. Scared me to death but then because it had started to charged it carried on and flashed very quickly past my scren. I had no idea it was that close.

Once I went past a Brahmin with ED-E. It was an angry Brahmin, but it didn't attack me, so I went on. Suddenly, ED-E had decapitated it, and it flashed on my screen. I was like WTF?!

Trust me mate, get yourself the "ENTOMOLOGIST" Perk which does a ot of damage to insects, grab yourself a grenade luancher or even a FATBOY.......

....And well, just enjoy the view of one of those scorpions as bits of him fly in every concievable direction!!

ok so im a fucking wuss ...

every time i played fall out 3 i would freak out anytime i saw a radscorpion, sometimes turning the game off the second i saw one. i hate scorpions that much.

Im aware that new vegas has them and i know its inevitable that ill find them if i do decide to get the game but is there any like console command to remove them from the game or like a mod?

i want to get it but i hate radscorpions that much, i dont know why its only seems to be those guys in any videogame that has me shitting my self hiding under a blanket..

yes i know im probably gonna get laughed at for this

Im pretty sure you could just change the models via the game directory?

Actually if there is one insect you should stay away from in New Vegas it's this one:


<spoiler=These guys are terrors to fight especially in large groups>

Well, you could still get it, but ramp up the sound to its highest, so you could hear them coming, or you could switch to 3rd person perspective, allowing you to see them before they attack you.

Oh fuck those are bastards to fight. I'll have Boone on full health hitting them each time and he'll still die. Then they're after me and I die. Luckily they're only on the west side, in the mountains and I don't go there often.

OT: I say face your fear with an incinerator by your side, they're nothing compared to fire. They are pretty fucking creepy though, always keep a companion with you and never go over the side of Goodsprings Cemetery and you shouldn't face the big ones too often.

If you can, you could try and find a re-model mod.

 

[rockyoumonkeys]

Honestly, radscorpions are about the most docile enemies in the game.

Cazadors and Deathclaws are nightmares.

It's worth noting that there isn't only Radscorpions in New Vegas, there's also Barkscorpions as well (not as tough but sand coloured and a bugger to spot). That having been said the only real concentration of Radscorpions I've run into was accidentally after heading north from the opening location at level one. If you stick to the roads you shouldn't have too much of a problem.

Anyway, if you do play New Vegas you'll soon learn to dread the Cazadore over all other creatures. With any luck that could cure you of your fear of scorpions, albeit at the cost of giving you a fear of hornets.

 

[Meggiepants]

so its get over my fear, dont buy the game, or play while in constant fear of a scorpion attack?

thats great..

You could work on a mod to turn the Radscorpions to something else? Something less fearsome perhaps?

They are freaky though, and for some reason the giant ones come in 3s, which is pretty terrifying if you haven't saved in a while. My response is usually to run.
