So, how to start, hm?

Nimiria:
Hello,

I am very new to this game. I had luck to find someone who helped me to get the hides for my tent.

But now I am there, in this huge, bad world. And all I can do is collect junk?

When I try to explore places like vaults, all I find there are playerkillers.

When I fight randoms like rats, even after some shots my gear is in bad shape, and try to repair it ends in even more bad shape. The NPC merchant have just damaged weapons, almost always not the type of ammunition I need etc.

So.. what exactly can there be done? I want to explore the world, find some caves and bunkers and explore them (like in Fallout and Fallout 2) but it looks like that this is impossible here?

I came up and the NCR base, and most I find there are thiefs and playerkillers. So is this all that is offered for new players?

I hope not and I really hope to find some nice people who can give some good advice or maybe even some ingame help. I am level 7 now and still all I can do to get some XP and money is collecting junk :/

Would be nice to find some "nice" persons here that want to help out :)

Correct, there isn't much content to explore in terms of PvE. You can hunt random encounters, try visit Glow or check random caves (but it's not very exciting, most of the time you will find some condoms and rats or nothing). Quests are mostly fetching stuff and running from one NPC to the other (but if you don't know them yet, they can be OK I guess). Expect to be killed by running bands of players in the meantime though.

Don't get me wrong, FOnline can be fun, but forget about Fallout/Fallout 2 experience. It's a different game.
Pretty much everything revolves around PvP, farming and hanging around.

Nimiria:
Hmmm.. I see.

Another question: How can a player that I am not teamed with find my tend? I just went there and he waited there for me and killed me.

Now.. can he see it and steal all that is in there?

He can't find your tent on his own. You took him there.

People can tag you and follow you to the world map as part of your party. There is no confirmation window or anything like that for party leader. You can see them on player lists and kick them from the party in the world map view, but new players often miss it. Watch out for people who stand near you when you leave town. They should have "follow" icon over their head, if they try join you during travel. If they do, kick them from player list in the world map view.

Once he leaves your tent, he won't be able to come back (unless you take him there again).

Nimiria:
Good to know..

so for now my tent is save, yes?

So what exactly is the goal here? What can all be done?

Random encounters may be fun but since I lack repair skills (and don´t find a tool in the shops) it is not worth it.

I have some money and at least an armor and a weapon, but don´t know what to do and where to go without loosing those instantly (or having them damaged to 100 % after 5 battles).
