nah.... seriously this game is pretty pathetically easy. Sure the first time you play it is frustratingly "difficult", but to some extent that's part of its charm. Being able to accomplish a goal, making your first tent is a thrilling exhilarating experience! If you actually sit down, read the wiki, plan out what to do, it isn't hard to do all by yourself. For example, make your char in the planner, do the first few quests in ncr. Gather up some fruit and flint and then wood, make rotgut. Take rotgut and make molotovs, then go kill some mantis. There you should be lvl 3.Right now you DON'T need a tent, you don't have anything! Do some more basic quests like the goofy ones up in modoc to VC, ez. By about level 4 or 5 you should be able to go to 38,x (I forget right now...) with a crafted mauser and weak healing powders in turnbased and get 10 moo moos quite easily. If you can't do this, your really just too lazy to play this game imo and the game isn't going to get any better for you anyways.... To say that 90% of the population of the world isn't cut out to play a game without instant gratification and hello kitty (or WoW) easiness is an understatement.Oh and I forgot, if you need helpful people and your not a complete asshole, try IRC #thelastlight. There are many people there that will probably help you get your first tent.
and tell me, in that process how many times will new play die and he will be forced to start over getting stuff so he can lose it again?new people should be able to play the game not be forced to read the wiki and the forums be4 they start to play. and the point is not to scare off new players in the first day they start to play. you need to attract them and encourage them to play the next day also.
Pick an easier game....
actualy you can get that hides on lvl 1 with any build, since you can kill at least 1 brahmin with your hands (you can do it with 60hp and 50% unarmed) then you have to bring evey hide to city and put it on some hidden place(behind wall,locker...) you can make it pretty faster if you loot some pistol from vs encounter and craft 5 weak healing powders from flower available in every enco..
10hides quest? 100% support. This quest should be taken in vc/ncr/hub. Simple quest like scout area around city.
wasteland is harsh, and only the strong survive, if you aint cool with fonline, go play tetris.
