aaaaaa f* i play like three days and i haven't meet any cow!!!! except in towns darn this game is hard and not quite fun as I thought i have great hopes for this game and now its f* up this is really hardcore wasteland PS: my starting point was near to boneyard in cave my luck in game is 4 (profession doctor-not yet graduate)
Start a bank account.Find a good hiding spot in town if you don't have a tent yet
I see what you did there.
Don't use bank, money goes in, and doesn't come out. Brahmin can be found in a few places, around NCR, around Hub. Friends are great to have help with, but unless you're a capped pk build you and up to 3 of your friends will die, A LOT when encountering pk'rs. Right now the game is mostly about working to get nice stuff just to hide that stuff in your tent. Be extremely careful wherever you go, that will help you more any weapon. And truly the saddest thing is, if you don't know the person you just encountered wherever you are in game, don't trust them.
I have to say that TB combat is safer especially if you gather a nice sum of outdoorsman skill you won't get in traps easily except if you want to enter on your own. Average chars who were made by those who played Fallout before have bonus move and action boy too which means they are better in TB.
RT fight can happen in location only if the player has TB mode on and if the location is camped by a group then a lone guy wouldn't win no matter how skilled he/she is it will end in death on load.About someone entering in the encounter its harder to run away in RT if you are hit already and someone enters you can't leave without combat timeout and you probably won't be able.Also RT combat at lvl 1 needs fast actions or you die try to kill armed critters.
