so true. the 1% only permits if you are a masoschist that enjoys pain.

Pippin:
Thanks guys! That was some good info :P Ill be sure not to stray into red distress calls now :D oh and one other thing, is there an easyer way of getting the hides for my tent? Cause those brahmin are kinda strong for a noob like me, can I buy hides or find them lying around anywhere?

Thanks again :D

Dr. Wasteland:
NCR merchants often have hides from other players.
Try taming your brahmin with a rope and selling them alive, then buying the hides you need.

cannotspace:
get broc / xander -> turn to weak healin powder -> sell to merchants for mausers / shotguns

Those 2 have accurate perk so they're good for beginners, then kill brahmins in turn base

Do miniquests: http://www.fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/Bring_radscorpions_tails_for_Mark  (on part of receiving reward pick the last one, it gives more EXP)

NCR and Hub are the best places for a newbie to hang around imo. I have always and still prefer Hub-Boneyard sector over all areas because it's easy to level up, has good trading possibilities and if you are lucky you will have some nice encounters with lots of dead bodies to loot. My first characters were crafters ( junk from the barrel oh the nostalgia  ;D ) and it helped me to get items and weaponry easily. Once I figured out the combat mechanics and difficulty of the encounters I have used trading since to get the gear I need.

It is frustrating when you die often but once you play more you will learn how to avoid dangerous situations and level easily. Once you get a tent your life will be much much easier. Don't carry too much valuable stuff at a time so if you die it won't hurt and annoy so much.

Feel free to ask for help in the game in towns. There are some very noob friendly and helpful people out there. Be aware though, there are the nasty bluesuit killers too.  I've helped new players to hunt brahmins for their first tent many times because when you know where and how to find them it doesn't take more than 15 minutes to get 10 brahmin hides.

Oh and for newbie it might be a good idea to switch on the TurnBased combat mode from the settings.
