vikki and vance? i thought that wasnt a real casino. how do you gamble there?
Once you've found a new sheriff for Primm, it becomes functional once again.

The whole town lights up actually, it's a cool feature.

You probably shouldn't take New Vegas too seriously in terms of balancing and actuall Hardcoreness. The level cap is 30, and with level 20, enclaver power armor and my super sledge, there are only a few things out there that can kill me. Namely a pack of Deathclaws. And that's only because I blew my chance of activating that orbital-strike-insta-kill-gun.

How to get those? The wiki says they're only in the game code but not actually attainable without console commands.
I found them in a Dresser in the Ultra Luxx casino if I'm not mistaken. I don't think I had installed a mod at that point as I was content to wander about wearing regular glasses for the first several hours. Regardless of where I found them (being unique I don't think they would show up in any leveled list), I know I'm wearing them now and I never used a console command to get them.

Hehe... i had a Luck 10 character myself. Played Blackjack though. Won like crazy. most of the time you get 21 from the start. Just took 200 in chips and got a few thousand caps a few minutes later.

But i didn't knew you could get thrown out (although i suspected it). But i already had so much money and nowhere to put it, so i didn't maxed out. After i got all implants there just is nothing to buy. I am never really at home, so i didn't invest in my suite and weapons&armor i get from my fallen enemies.

Yeah man I cleaned up. I doubled down every damn time and won 400 chips each. I actually say it was more fun because it let's you feel like your on a roll. I didn't think about it until a couple of hands in but I think this is just fun. Although I hate not being able to play anything anymore. Everyone banned me :(

Like the gentleman above me I had nothing to spend it on after the implants so I just spent it all on ammo. Feels good having that much ammo.

I told the NCR to come in and the only thing that happened was that people walked right out of town and only the two elder stayed behind...
You have to make Meyers the town sheriff. Shortly after you install a new sheriff go into the casino and you're confronted by some NCR deserters. After you deal with them, the casino is back in business about a week later, give or take.

I already combed out the ultra and never found anything and all discussion on the topic I find seems to point at them being unobtainable without manually adding them to your inventory.

Go back to the NCR camp, make Meyers the sheriff.

Then head back to the Vicky & Vance and you'll have to deal with some NCR deserters. Once that's done, wait a few days and voila, a sparkly new Primm!

And, better still, you could reasonably do all of this before level 15 if you play your cards right.
You, sir, were definitely a first level Thief in 3rd edition D&D.

Why game designers don't employ a min-maxer is beyond me.

well most of the good weapons and armor in the game can't be bought so an absurd amount of caps isn't as important as you think.
If your like me you will have pissed of Caesers legion at around lvl 5, this is bad. However caps buy AP rounds, that help kill the assassins they send, without AP rounds your going to get raped because they do insane damage, have strong armour, travel and fight about 5 at once, and hey continually persue you through the game.
Well i wouldn't know. For me the only way to destroy legion is with my fists. I pissed them off around level 6 and so far only 1 assassin group came after me, and they were punched to death.

Well, with all the money I made, I bought a ton of grenades for the Grenade Machinegun (I still ghave 73,000 left) and went to Caesars camp and killed all of them. It was fun.

Yep... Diddnt think they would send anyone, when I saw them I was like "lol reminds me of talon mercs, this wont take long" that was before I found unlike the talon mercs these guys are actually a threat.
Yes... those Legion assasins are tough bastards.

I was usually happy to see Talon Mercs.... 'Yay, free Combat Armour and Chinese Assault Rifles!' These Legion bastards kick my ass and don't even have much loot worth taking.

well if you have 10 luck you have 5 or less in everything else.
Not at all. I had 1 Strength, 10 Percision, 1 Endurance, 10 Charisma, 10 Intelligence, 1 Agility, and 10 Luck. I did invest in Intense Training a couple of times to boost my intelligence, but it's still possible.
Not to antagonize or derail, but those stats made me rage. The fuck you usin' all that perception and charisma for? Charisma just boosts charisma-based stats and nerve, which I assure you companions don't need. Perception can be replaced by ED-E. Strength is a must for any gun-handling. Agility is passable if you don't mind running slow as all hell and never using vats. I'm also pretty sure you get hemophilia or something for having such a low endurance.

In the nonsensical words of a D&D player: "Reroll nao plox"

Eh, I was experimenting. It doesn't really seem to matter to me much, as I'm Level 20, and save for a few spots things are pretty damn easy.

I found the blackjack absolutely laughable in New Vegas.
Exactly. I had a 10 luck character play Blackjack in the Ultra-Luxe for about 6 minutes before I got up to 15,000 chips. Conventional rules/statistics of the game no longer apply; you can double down on 18 and get 3's every time.

You only need 7/8 Luck to completely break the Blackjack tables if you have any skill at Blackjack at all.

Get kicked out of any Casino in less than 30 minutes like that.
