Don't give up! You will be killed many times, but once you get a tent, it will get ALOT easier.
Try stay around Guarded Towns such as The Hub, NCR, Vault City ect...
You may just meet someone who is willing to give you a hand.

If you need some cash, you could gather some Junk, craft BBs and sell to traders. (Junk can be found in urban squares, such as the Boneyard or around Vault 15.)

If you feel like it, you could have a little read through the wiki, as it has alot of useful info, even if its a lil' outdated.

Also, try putting Turn Based on. It's slower, but alot easier.

Shooting people and taking their items is major part of the game to many players.

Based on evidence collected from various sources by trustworthy attendees it is undisputed veritability that the land ravaged by atomic warfare which caused extreme change of the ecosystem and environmental hazards can be considered unpleasant, rugged and unforgiving.

That's because you put to much value on items.

A loner guys can scavenge all the equipment me needs by murdering the Crazies around VC. When I first started the game a year or so back I felt the same, until I realised; wait I haven't lost everything. I still have my character and my experience, my friends and what not. All you lose it a few thousand caps worth of stuff, which in game terms is nothing.

at first it is more about the time spent to acquire the items as it is thought of as wasted effort. In the long run if they keep playing and know the game better is when the attitude will change to that you have pointed out it is very little to the scale of things other players go by.

When i started this game, i was the biggest noob out there xD, i suggest staying away from Ncr, vault city, or hub.. these towns will hold you back alot, get a gun and ammo go to v13 and farm molerats till your lvl 21 ;]

best solution: dont care about valuables, imagine them all as crap...

so when you die with Metal MKII or CA, dont say shit, dont get mad. its just a game.

why i love this game, it learnt me to keep calm and my nerves seem to get more and more used to annoying situations, when you do that, youll find this game even more fun.

and... just use low-tier weapons (mostly cripplers can use mauser, id do so) so you wont lose almost anything, and youll have bunch of them thanks to encounters.

Yeah, instead of killing you, collecting your loot, and then trolling your dead body, they will just kill you, collect your loot, and get back into their camping position. Much more friendly.

That's just because the towns are dead. Doesn't make it any friendlier, just dead...er.  :-\
