hello again today we're going to be doing something a little bit different a little bit random actually really very random I've gone ahead and installed New Vegas randomizer which messes with all of the game's loot NPCs jump height gravity and even the weather that's a really fun set of changes to the game which lets you get your hands on hilariously overpowered items early on but also sees you just randomly exploding pretty often because a bloat fly is shooting mini nukes out of it it's ass but on top of that I've also installed the world randomizer mod which randomizes the outcome of every single door in the game this is not a fun set of changes this is painful that this one hurts me a lot you'll see anyway let's get into it we're woken up by a much kinkier than normal version of Doc Mitchell and I decided to sort of randomize my character creation as well rolling dice for various options and just kind of scrambling the sliders where possible all of that results in a lady called ponus with a very wide face and a harsh skin tone transition at the neck and uh yes the random name generator landed on ponus yes I know how funny that is okay admittedly it first landed on Cassel um but I didn't want to learn to pronounce that so I rerolled it Sumi I did all of this live on Twitch by the way the entire playthrough is available to watch either over there or on the vods channel both of which are in the description I was going to randomize polonius's ponia sorry I was going to randomize her special stats too but then I realized that perhaps it would be most random to max out luck leaving everything else at 5 before heading over to Doc Mitchell's psychology session though we need to rummage around all of his stuff because there could be anything in these boxes like Chan's knife which is apparently very good for this therapy session I once again turned to Google's dice tool to randomly select Po's skill set which turned out to be science sneak and unarmed it's not what I would have chosen but that's sort of the point I did the same for perks which resulted in early bird and skilled which are both sort of crap but again it's random isn't it with all that taken care of let's get into it wearing desert Ranger combat armor by the way we just spawned in this the door out of here is left untouched by the world randomizer so we're out into good to meet Victor who's looking uh well how partner good I guess at this point I'm sort of just running around in a weird State of Shock my brain is struggling to adapt to the fact that there's a giant ant Queen here and that Pete has a super mutant Behemoth weapon on his back um so anyway obviously we need to head to Prim and thankfully there's a door there in this greenhouse which is a space added by the randomizer mod to put doors in that would have otherwise been inaccessible for some reason and upon arriving on the other side uh well I kind of just got mentally stun locked a bit it all starts to sink in how this playthrough is going to feel and that was a lot to take in a skeleton with a power fist and a broken piece of texture just kind of smacking ponus to the floor but second time around I managed to take down the fisty skeleton and take their Paladin toaster with which we'll punt their tiny Tesla Cannon wielding friend turning him into Slender Man in the process now of course we did come to Prim because that's just where you natur head at the start of a New Vegas run but the door to the building we want to get into is obviously somewhere completely different so we start trekking through the wastes seeing the unusual local Wildlife which includes a bloatfly just blasting away at me with its butt gun because it turns out that any ranged creatures have had their attack type randomized it uh it gets pretty weird later on but anyway we eventually take this random House's door to west side where everybody's dripped out flexing hard playing chess in a set of power armor while a weird mole rat thing just goes absolutely nuts in the background it turns out that it's actually a super mutant named mean son of a [ __ ] huh right well anyway the door to the co-op here leads to Camp guardian or well kind of Camp Guardian anyway thankfully the gravity is pretty weak out here so we can jump up the cliffs to get to the actual Camp itself which we loot for some random tat something I often say random tat but this time it's actually much more accurate than usual a cave entrance up here conveniently leads into the tops Casino which is another sensory overload full of oddly dressed and randomly sized individuals controlling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winner by simply being here we complete the quest they went that away and get three whole levels worth of XP I put all of Paul's skill points directly into unarmed so that we can take full advantage of any shiny highle weapons that drop as for the perks I put two levels into intense training to bring inurance and Agility up to six each so Paul runs around annoying people and jumping all over the gambling tables before realizing that Benny is here what in the godamn after not initially recognizing him thanks to the welding mask he says some Greaser weirdo stuff about smooth babies and tells us to wait for him in the presidential suite which is of course accessed by traveling through Camp Gulf and then into the town hall first floor a place which sounds rather busy and sure enough there's a wee Little Death claw this isn't going to go well is it after a few punches in Vats sure enough it oneshots poor ponus after another attempt with much the same result I thought this route could be a no-go and figured I'd give it a go with a rang weapon the Tesla Cannon instead but as I briefly glossed over in the intro enemies sizes are also randomized so this time around the Troublesome deathclaw is stuck it's too big to get through this door meaning we can clear the place out looting another unique Power Fist from one of the random Cor corpes in here greased lightning at this point we have a really weird selection of weapons in our inventory and that will pretty much be the case for the whole playthrough so if you see me using something completely random and I don't mention it you can assume I just picked it up used all the ammo I had for it and then threw it away after I was done anyway ponus and her greased up fist head out to Cottonwood Cove and from there finally into the presidential suite of the tops Cino where we'll rummage through the dressers to find a marked Beast face helmet buffing our crit chant and melee weap and skill a little bit and of course as we all knew this is an ambush so in pop Benny's mly crew of enforcers one of whom brought the plasma grenades and kills us as well as most of his friends and probably himself wait no he's not dead cuz he announces in slow-mo that he's coming and then the game crashes of course thankfully when the boys arrive next time they're randomized differently and are much more easily dispatched so now then we have to travel through one of the game's many door nexuses door nexi I don't know the camp marcaron terminal building where the NCR are fighting a guy from The Legion who's randomly ended up in here somehow we'll find ourselves in instances like this one a lot areas with a lot of doors naturally become extremely handy when all of the doors got randomized so after briefly exploring and saying hi to the teeny tiny andc guards we're off back out to the Mojave to continue our quest which unfortunately continues directly into the Gun Runners who really don't like me very much and Paul ends up as a flaming Heap quite quickly but second time around I realized that I can just float to safety on the roof from which she can jump out of the oh oh ouch never mind okay third 's the charm and we'll just jump over the fence and over to frees sides East Gate which leads to the Hoover Dam Visitor Center of course this place has a weird vibe so we slip back out into the Wasteland where Paul flies up to the top of this cross for a better view of the surrounding I can see some horrifyingly fast and large Cazador zipping around in the distance and also I keep forgetting that low gravity doesn't necessarily negate Newton's third LW of motion the opposite reaction in this case being Paul's shins entering her thighs after jumping off of this cross now twitch chat did warn me not to fight the Cazador by the way but I ignored them and I hate to say it but for once they were right so after running like this for a short while I remember that I can actually fast TR travel and just teleport to good Springs which is where we'll find a door to the 13th floor of tops Casino where we'll of course meet everybody's favorite happy robot yes man hey hi there who has a lot to say but importantly he tells me which way Benny went into his secret elevator of course though that secret elevator doesn't go where it normally does so this Intel isn't particularly useful but thankfully the quest markers just about work most of the time so we can figure it out somewhere along the way Malcolm Holmes shows up wearing Benny's suit and a fancy Legion hat naturally he had to Die the voices inside of my head started to win fairly often actually at this point and sometimes I'd just punch people's heads apart for fun which did lead to acquiring this strange and apparently very strong long-ranged energy weapon called the ycs 186 which is all well and good but I'm not really likely to ever have a good supply of ammo for it a short while later I was just minding my own business trying to get into Nellis when somebody killed me with an artillery strike that's not very nice but point taken I'll go the other way where George tries to warn me against going in like this who there pal you better slow down and to say thanks Paul shoots out his knees before just going for it again she tanks a few artillery shells and then jumps the fence from here we can get into the Lucky 38 which has employed some new and interesting guards but thankfully the elevator's destinations remain unrandomized so we head upstairs to meet Mr House Mr House the uh the giant ant Queen anyway you know how this goes we need the Platinum ship to do the main quest thing but first we've been carrying around a load of valuable tat for a long time now because finding decent Traders is quite rare but here at Nellis I found a door to the dinoy gift shop he doesn't have many caps but I let him scam me anyway giving him very valuable stuff for almost nothing because twitch chat was annoying me and this hurt them I enjoyed that anyway at this point I'm ready to go meet kaisar since he's got Benny and by extension the Platinum chip but the raft to his fort isn't here because it turns out I have to go and meet vulpes in nipton first so once again we're off running around the Wasteland and hunting down random doors on the way there Paul stumbles into this raided Farmstead and starts picking over the scraps but surprise surprise the Raiders are still here and one of them has a plasma Caster so that didn't go too well let's try that again blasting them from the safety of the Caravan this time I wanted to get this fight done because they have fun and interesting weapons including this saturnite fist super heated a power fist with heat damage on crit neat and then I broke my legs again cuz I can't resist jumping off a ledge rather than just walking off that happens a lot but after a little more of the same I ended up in Novak a bit confused before realizing I've been running around in the wrong direction for a good while now with my internal compass pointing in the correct direction again we're soon arriving at nipton where vulpus and his friends are just kind of uh well they they're kind of just vibing don't worry I won't have you lash to a cross like the rest of these degenerates after speaking to him we just need to get to the new Vega strip before finally gaining access to kaisa's camp now there is a considerably faster way to get there and we'll figure it out later but first I spent quite a long time not realizing that and simply door hunting but on the bright side whilst aimlessly wandering around the upper floors of the tops Casino I noticed this chairman with a deathclaw hand yo little help Fist of the North North raw raw holds up spork uh this is a weird Wasteland thing right but either way it's very good having a higher crit chance and dealing bonus crit and limb damage it has however made me something of an enemy eh it's worth it I spent a couple of hours looking for doors and to be fair this time spent will probably pay off later thanks to having found a load of new places to fast travel to but this is where I realized that the reason I had no Quest marker for the strip is because I've simply been tracking the wrong Quest this whole time after switching it over we're given a relatively short and simple path to follow and 10 minutes an interesting death to a laser wielding Lake lurk and a crash to desktop later we're finally at a door leading to the strip when you get here vpz runs circuitously towards you and delivers to you kaisa's mark whilst wearing Colonel reyes's power armor which is an interesting little touch but of course we can't just go straight to the legion camp and enter kaisa's tent because it's an indoor instance and therefore has a door out in the Wasteland somewhere we're just reaching level eight after claing a laser wolf and a security robot to death in case anyone was curious where we're at and this lets us finally reach unarmed level 100 and also get the better criticals perk because we do those a lot anyway it turns out the door to the tent is somewhere in the Repcon offices accessible via Nelson the place is full of random wild animals pretending to be security robots and it also turns out that the door to kaisa's tent is locked a door to kaisa's 10 locked easy [ __ ] I momentarily panicked and regretted my skill point allegations thus far before I was reminded that people sleep and it was probably just locked because it's nighttime to pass the time Paul starts cutting up the robots in here and perhaps I shouldn't have done that not because it led to Paul's death or anything quite the opposite actually but rather because we're going to be coming through here a lot and now it's permanently honking a very very loud alarm once all the nearby enemies are dead we can wait and see if the door unlocks in the morning and maybe it would have at some point but thanks to the Early Riser perk we now actually have enough lockpicking to just break in so we'll just do that the people inside don't seem to care so here's kaisa he's um well he seems to be doing okay and he wants us to get rid of Mr House oh also Benny is here but we're not allowed to kill him yet apparently also rather confusingly Mr house is here sort of all right anyway back out into the wastes on our next Quest where I save Victor the glowing Ghoul from a security B only to have him pretend he saved me and that now I owe him it's dangerous out here [ __ ] he also warns me that it's dangerous over here which naturally I ignore only to be absolutely obliterated by a bloatfly with what I assume is a grenade launcher of some kind shoved up its ass all right fair enough Victor point taken you win on the way towards Mr house we slip through pradel Soul very briefly we'll come back here again later and it will suck but this time we're through completely unseen and unscathed and into the securitron Vault where Mr House apparently wants to give us a big slobbery kiss I decide at this point to just go all in with Kaiser which means disabling this Vault from the inside which means getting through all of the security turrets one of which is a bloatfly with an Alien Blaster I'm not sure why but the bloat flies always seem to get the good stuff anyway you may or may not know the drill here you have to destroy these very ious power Regulators in order to disable the bunker unfortunately this place is very exploding meaning we died well a few times but at some point I just swapped to a chainsaw and cut through a few of the robots to slip on out giving Mr House who's shrunk significantly a little kiss on the way past in no time at all we're back in the tent talking to the little man himself who gives us permission to kill Benny this time you get to decide how Benny dies damn very good so after to finish Miss the house for real this time he of course lives in the tops Casino we've been there before shouldn't be a problem but wait actually he's right here in the Repcon office's hallway problem solved oh okay apparently not we'll go and deal with the actual Mr house it looks like one of his guards this rad scorpion I suspect has a pretty horrible grenade based weapon so we'll have to get a bit creative and throw in a holy frag grenade to deal with the problem and then we're into his secret basement to kill the actual real Mr House who looks surprisingly normal actually and for doing so we get level 10 and I start dumping points into survival I'm doing this because whilst I haven't mentioned it in the video yet poor old Polonius hasn't been finding many meds but plenty of random food so this should help us a little bit with healing but spoiler alert we should really be leveling lockpicking if you ever play a door randomizer please please level lockpicking anyway back to kaisa who's put on a Hazmat suit for some reason I'm not sure if I should be insulted by that he asks us to either befriend or kill the Boomers and whilst I have a lot in common with Boomers I think the solution to this problem is quite obvious it's usually just much faster to murder someone than it is to gain their trust through an inevitable chain of side quests good conveniently the door to Pearl's Barrack is only a quick fast travel away through the Hoover Dam Visitor Center it appears she's had some pretty extensive plastic surgery to everything but her face so after a short thing Paul cuts her up the rest of Boomer leadership wasn't quite so simple but you know we did get it done yeah loyal does indeed appear to have died next the white glove Society who live in the ultralux casino right next to Miguel's porn shop here in Westside you probably know this story but basically the front desk lady doesn't like us Caesar's Legion is a collection of unclean barbarians whereas some other dude named Mortimer does of course normally to get between the two of them you'd just walk across the room but we have to cross the Mojave eventually though we get there and find him well dressed unusually appropriately I suppose he tells us that the society used to eat people and that he wants to go back to doing that and that for some reason helping them return to cannibalism will bring their ideology close enough to kaisar for them to help us in assaulting the Hoover Dam I see anyway on the way out rotface offers us some cheap suck I can make it worth your while which we refuse and head out to fetch some nice meat for the white gloves to eat after a long but mostly uneventful journey across the Mojave again we find ourselves downstairs in the kitchens of the ultralux where Paul steals all of their carrots also they have this guy captive Ted Gunderson who we kill with a chainsaw before collecting some of his blood which will go and smear all over his dad's bedroom in order to frame him for the murder this through some kind kind of story that I apparently didn't listen to means that the white glove Society can go back to eating people unfortunately the route to Daddy's bedroom is through pradell soul I told you we'd be back here and I told you it would suck but not like rotface sucks unless his skills are particularly mindblowing that is because that's what happens here in the Villa unless you're a sneaky oiled up Wasteland Survivor like Paul and managed to slip around the trigger for that particular section of the DLC Quest where father Elijah explodes your head she she does that by the way she slips past so now we're in this hanger full of well-armed people that don't like me but don't worry I have a plan it involves Rockets actually that that didn't work at all okay well holy hand grenade it is always gets the job done back on the Strip we speak to this um GRE C protectron and tell it to check out Gunderson senior's bedroom and head right back to Mortimer who's put his skin back on he tells us that they're cannibals again now which is good I guess now we have to Journey back to Marjorie and get her on board with kaisa's Legion a journey which involves the last of our precious holy hand grenades because of a bit of a multi- deathclaw situation anyway once she's on board kaisar now tells us to blow up the brotherhood's fancy bunker reaching this point in the quest obviously really upset the NCR which I'm sure won't cause certain areas of the game to be a massive pain in the ass or anything so anyway here we are at Camp foror Hope on the way to the next objective being killed by an NCR heavy Trooper wielding some kind of electrical equipment sometime later we're in the brotherhood's bunker and I'm going to keep it a buck 50 with you I just started blasting with this grenade machine gun that I found earlier for my overwhelmingly monstrous Behavior the Brotherhood no longer like me yeah looking around in here honestly that's pretty Fair perhaps also unsurprisingly we leveled up from all of this taking a load of levels in explosives instead of finally investing in lockpicking I'll say it again this is a mistake but you know live and learn anyway we also get the penetrating strike perk which is nice there's a few more Brotherhood scribes to deal with and then we can head back to kaisar who's put on a Mad Max cosplay and also admits that he's dying all right let's take the obvious there's something wrong with me something about a brain tumor this is apparently fixable with the autod do thing that he has in his bedroom he just needs us to get some parts for it this is where that lockpicking thing I kept banging on about comes into play here in the main office at Repcon where our objective marker simply points to a locked door I got a key for at least part of the building in the only way I know how by forcibly deconstructing the tour robot but unfortunately we need to go deeper through this average difficulty door well I guess we're going to have to go find some levels out there in the world but the world is cruel and this man asks us if we've had enough had enough sometimes man yeah sometimes I have but we press on I probably need two levels before I can break through that door so to be honest I just went out and started killing side quests seem like a pretty tough ask at this point since almost everybody in the game hates me for the foul things I've done in the name of the legion pretty quickly after fisting a load of NCR Troopers to death we reached level 13 and confusingly I invest the skill points in science in hindsight this was silly but there are two locked doors in the building that I'm stuck at one of which has a terminal that's not the one I need to get through oops anyway back to the Spree killing I guess running around the Wasteland just killing anything that moves will get us there eventually and this is where things get a little bit confusing actually because it turns out I did not need lockpicking levels after all I also lost a few hours of the recording here because Shadow play just sort of gave up after one of new Vegas's many crashes so we're using the downloaded stream for a moment here so say hi to little streaming hazor he'll be around for a minute or two essentially I was just running around trying to complete any random side quest that I could whilst slaughtering anything that contains XP and then I sort of just well I just ended up in the right room for my main quest wait this is where I hang on a minute there's an autod do here in Vault 34 so obviously this instance has multiple doors into it and one of them would lead to the Repcon offices so that's the one that the quest pathing had latched on to but I just locked my way in with another door must be thanks to Paul's 10 luck so I got very excited made a streamer face and then died to a Cazador all right second time oh never mind okay third time around we get what we need and now we head back to kaisar to fix that silly little brain of his which unfortunately takes us right through the tops Casino where a whole load of people try really hard to kill me and succeed at least once make it to them though no I'm not on the bright side here in the upper floors we get both the mighty Embrace of the Mantis King and also a hollow rifle which someone in chat told me is very good I mean it's got 61 DPS I tested it and yeah it's not so bad we'll keep it because it came with a few hundred rounds I don't know we'll see so back to kaisar then to deliver his new autod do parts and heal him up for good I thank you for saving my life he's a hologram now by the way but don't worry about that too much in the process of healing him we reached level 15 and I finally took our lock picking up above 50 this is a big step now that we don't need it anymore right he asks us to kill a man at Hoover Dam the president of the NCR Okie do that should be simple enough but it was not simple enough we meet up with Kato out here who gives us a disguise and tells us to have a nice sleep before the big event tomorrow thankfully by morning he's regrown his skin and gotten changed and we're off to work regrew his skin now the people of the NCR really don't like us I am not one of you which doesn't seem to be a problem for Kato but it took me a few attempts to realize quite how bad this NCR disguise is there are NCR Rangers all over the place that will see right through you so you've got to try and keep track of them whilst squirming your way over to K at which point the president's vert bird arrives and normally he'd be able to use a ladder to get down from the roof where they land but because the ladder actually goes to a random cave or something he just kind of walks off the roof most of the time anyway I first tried to assassinate him with my chainsaw which did technically work but it turned into a oneway trip for Polonius okay so that didn't quite work here is not and the next few attempts didn't go particularly well either did I just get exploded I did there he is on one occasion when I whipped out a super Sledge one of the guards actually did my job for me detonating Kimball with a rocket it wasn't even me you killed him unfortunately higher than usual gravity here kept me stuck like a fish in a barrel and inevitably I was next in line for the Rockets eventually though I managed to get it done with a swift shot to his face and then just about survive the rocket man so back to kaisa where for My Success I'm executed hey what the [ __ ] guys oh I'm still dressed in the NCR disguise okay that's fair enough right then time for the final battle for Hoover Dam which is unfortunately where this run Goes To Die the mod author for the door randomizer says that the final battle should be possible the key word there being should I think in my case after speaking to legat lenius and assaulting the first section of the dam all appears normal as I'm given Quest markers to find my way over to the Western section of the dam having to deal with a really tough set of caravaners that keep killing me with some insanely overpowered weapon but I finally get the job done and find that that said weapon is in fact a debug item the federator with its 12K DPS and infinite ammo well mine now I could have used that a little bit earlier but still nice to have immediately after this though is where the quest pathing breaks down and starts just pointing me back and forth through the same doors over and over it's important to note also at this point that having started the final quest fast travel is disabled which really doesn't help so after quite a bit of running around and trying to figure something out I resort to the console what I basically want to do is to learn whether or not it's actually possible to progress the final quest without just using commands to advance the quest state or something simple like that there's essentially one specific instance of the Hoover Dam that I need to access through a specific door in order to trigger the scripting for the next section of the battle and after about 5 hours or so of console Wizardry that I was learning from chat to try and hunt down Quest targets and the doors that they're pointing to as well as some good oldfashioned Brute Force door hunting by flying around at high speeds I think I can confidently say that it would not actually be possible for Paul to finish the fight through conventional means by all means please tell me if I'm wrong in the comments I'd love to hear if you've actually done this and how it went for you but for me this is where I gave up so thank you so much for watching if you enjoyed this video then go ahead and hit like and if you want to see more like it subscribe too but whatever you do please remain indoors there's a fight going on between the NCR and the legion out there somewhere I just can't find my way to it until next time goodbye
