Jotisz:
You can see some role players at NCR too sadly lot of people try to harass them but luckily they don't give it up easy. However I have to say Redding and Broken Hills are good places for RP. Also it can be good to go around the cities and stop by them from time to time most of them are empty though.

Eternauta:
The "problem" about this is that not all players think the same when they talk about roleplay.

Very few players actually understand roleplay as thinking about a background for your character and act in-character all the time. For some, roleplaying means making up some vague story to put behind a faction name they're using to pwn enemies. For some others, it's simply standing around in a town, talking nicely to people instead of shooting them.

But even if players don't do serious roleplay, some of these pseudo-RP activities can be fun. For example I have recently met a guy who'd set up a kind of rudimentary casino in a guarded town: he dropped caps on the ground, say 20 bottle caps in 20 different hexes, but there was a 21st hex with 3 caps on it. If you payed the dude 100 caps, you could try your luck picking up one of the bottle cap bags from the ground. If you found the one with 3 caps, you got the first prize: 2000 caps. If not, you could try a second time and if you find the 3 caps, you got a prize of 1000 caps. If you failed both shots, you obviously lost.

Very simple and not connected to roleplay at all. But it's always refreshing to see this kind of stuff. Of course, from time to time a troll would come and start picking up the caps to make it impossible to play the game.  ::)

Simon:
I love those games! Lots of different variations with different items is always fun :)

This game has some limiting mechanics but with a little imagination there are some pretty neat activities you can create with the stuff you already have.
