Fallout New Vegas is an amazing game.
Not only can you move forward and side to side, but you can also move backwards.
The movement possibilities are endless!
Let's say you only want to move a certain way though, could you beat Fallout New Vegas
by only moving backwards?
I'll make this quick.
Yes, obviously you can beat New Vegas by only moving backwards.
Only moving one way isn't going to break the game or make things weird happen like
changing your size would.
The real question is, how hard is it?
Just for the sake of changing things up a bit, I decided to play as a woman this time
around.
But, as usual, I used drained my Charisma stat and dumped those points into Intelligence.
I also prioritized Speech just to make a few situations easier.
After that, it was time to pay a visit to my favorite giant poisonous spider hawks.
It was around this time the run started becoming really annoying.
You realize how important that forward movement is when you're in combat.
Sure, you can strafe right and left, and of course move backwards.
But if you want to get closer to an enemy, you have to turn around and leave yourself
wide open to attacks.
And when you're taking on multiple Cazadors, that isn't good.
My strategy was to plant my feet and not move.
If they got too close, I'd pull out a grenade launcher, blow us both up, and hope that I
lived.
It worked out okay in the end.
Next, because I was in the neighborhood, I stopped by Red Rock Canyon so I wouldn't
have to trudge back out there later.
From there, I made my way to a Fiend camp, killed Violetta and her dogs, ransacked her
trailer park, killed even more Fiends using my patented "blow us both to hell" method.
Then I killed 2 NCR soldiers, took their clothes, and began the long, long, so incredibly long
backwards walk towards Camp McCarren.
Did I mention how long it took?
It took a long time.
The upside was that the monorail put me within striking distance of Benny.
I didn't feel like doing the usual song and dance inside the Tops Casino.
This time, I just massacred everyone inside the casino.
My decent armor, Hunting Rifle, and assortment of chems made it easier than it would have
been without them.
Still though, it was a bit of a challenge.
Primarily because I used all my grenades and mostly just stood in one spot while they all
attacked me.
Nevertheless, I won the day, looted their corpses, got the Platinum Chip, started Yes
Man's quest line, killed the remaining gamblers on my way out, spoke to Mr House, watched
his stupid demonstration for the umpteenth time then ignored the Securtrons who were
so rudely shooting at me while I entered Mr House's private chambers.
Then he died.
Gommorah and the White Glove Society were the next casinos that felt my wrath.
Oh and feel it they did.
The White Mittens got the worst of it.
I killed a lot of people.
Then I returned to the Great Khans hideout and wiped out their leaders.
The Brotherhood of Steel tried to be my friend, but I got a little carried away and murdered
the welcome wagon.
The good news is that a Gauss Rifle was now in my possession.
I paid a visit to my old buddy Doc Mitchell and bought all the Stimpaks he had that I
could afford because before I killed Papa Khan, I moseyed my way up to the Boomers.
They blasted the shit out of me.
Everyone knows that you don't shoot rockets at a girl in her underwear that's limping
backwards towards your base.
That's just wrong.
I made them pay for their misdeeds by killing their leaders, too.
Afterwords, I returned to the Great Khans because I had apparently still not "made
contact" with them.
None of them survived this time.
This time around, I completely avoided the Legion until the end of the game.
I didn't bother going to the Fort to install any upgrades.
I did have a lot of fun murdering the NCR soldiers stationed at the El Dorado Gas Station.
They died real good.
Seemed like a waste of time.
Which means that once again, the final battle has arrived.
A Riot Shotgun I picked up off some dead guy really came in handy.
But let me tell ya, making your way through Hoover Dam Offices while going backwards is
a real pain in the ass.
I took that pain in stride and destroyed the dam's generators.
All that was left was to wipe out the Legion, which was tougher than I thought for some
reason.
The road to the Legate's camp was fine.
So were the first few stragglers inside the camp itself.
The Legate was a challenge.
Even with a Gauss Rifle and a Riot Shotgun and having pumped myself full of psycho, med-x,
and an assortment of other chems, it wasn't an easy fight.
When the screaming stopped and the bodies lay motionless, I had less than 5% of my health
left and no healing items left.
I looted a few off the corpses and prepared for the showdown with Lee Oliver.
Because I was doing things a bit differently in this run, I decided to have him thrown
off Hoover Dam.
His screams were delightful.
Here we are yet again.
Another pointless Fallout playthrough has been completed.
All things being equal, playing New Vegas while only moving backwards wasn't all that
bad.
I imposed a rule that if I accidentally moved forward at all, I re-loaded my most recent
save file.
That annoyed me a few times.
The Tribal Pack DLC weapons and armor helped out quite a bit in the early game, especially
with the Cazadors.
Overall, I'd put this below the Giant playthrough of New Vegas but above the No Attacking Anything
run.
Fallout 3's Baby playthrough is at the bottom just because of how slow it was.
Would I recommend you play New Vegas this way?
No, probably not.
There are other ways to make the game challenging without being so infuriating about it.
And that's gonna do it for this video about beating Fallout New Vegas while only moving
backwards.
