-
Keep it civil. Don’t insult other community members in posts or comments, and don’t make posts designed to insult other community members or parts of the fandom with different opinions.
-
Posts must be on-topic.
-
No real life politics. That means no political advocacy, and no real life political discussions vaguely dressed up as on-topic posts. If you want to discuss real life politics, you are free to start your own community.
-
Posts must be coherent.
-
If a post is otherwise allowed but has realistic gore or nudity, please mark it NSFW.
-
Spoilers about newly released official content must be marked as [SPOILERS] with post images blurred and no spoiler information in the thread title. Comments must adhere if the thread OP specified a non-spoiler thread.
PS: Don't use the fandom! please use fallout.wiki for everything instead.

Gangs of deathclaws, packs of nightstalkers, and don't forget the clusters of cazadores that'll fuck you up the instant they notice you.
The cazadores are a problem if they poison you. Keep a 9mm SMG on you (like the one you get in the Doc's house, or in the schoolhouse, I forget, but I always pick up the broken one and repair it before leaving Goodsprings) and VATS their wings. IIRC you can ground them by crippling either wing. Then they can be killed or ignored.
That's my contingency plan if I can't sneak by them, but I also have a Stealth Boy. I do like to take the normal way to Vegas, but I more often head north out of Goodsprings, through the pass, then northeast to Freeside.
