Just finished a bunch of Brotherhood of steel quests. As a reward, they gave me a nice safehouse bunker! Located north of Boulder city and east of vault 34.
Between vault 34 and my safehouse, i saw something like a limestone mine. As i approached...i got attacked from all directions BY 10 FRAKKING DEATHCLAWS
The same happend when i first played Fallout 3. my first encounter with a deathclaw..JESUS
I went to novac, picked up my anti-material sniper. Its in bad condition, and only had 30 regular rounds and 10 AP ones. I had to be as far away as possible as these deathclaws (wich are blind) heard me from very far away.
It took me 45 minutes to snipe EACH and every one of them! it was AWESOME. like a real hunter-hunted and visa versa (because i had a few close calls)
Because when i was sniping, i was suddently ambushed by a flock of things called nightstalkers. But when i killed them, one of the deathclaws heard the noise and witouth me noticing, came close. TO CLOSE. FRAK. Hunting revolver out and killed it just in time. had 3 hp left.
FNV combat is so more intense then Fallout 3's.
