Hoo boy. If you play Fallout 4 you'll be seriously disappointed in Stealth Boys. They last a whopping thirty seconds and are practically useless.

Yeah, I modded the game to make them last a lot longer.

Honestly for me, it's not really their duration, it's their effectiveness. I mean, if they don't frickin' work, why are they even in the game??? ARRRGH!!! Argh Argh Aurgh1!!!! ... They are expensive and rare. Not lying around everywhere, right? They must be therefore used sparingly. So they should be our ticket to live another day (another hour, whatever).

SBs definitely work in Fallout 3, too, and this is without any mod to enhance them. I have a couple clear memories of Janet escaping death by eating one, and one of these moments happened when she encountered the behemoth outside of Gold Grocery. You all know that one, right? We tap the baby carriage, and then out of nowhere we're being chased by a skyscraper of a super mutant! She ate one of them while the behemoth killed her first boyfriend, Ben D. Banana. Benny tried to fight the thing, while Janet had no choice but to run & go invisible. I remember she was able to do this, and in fact she later lured the thing back to an area where she could safely kill it.

Pretty sure they work in pure vanilla FO3 too. Cho definitely used them a couple times when his game was on Xbox, although I haven't got any clear memories. But in that case, if he'd gotten pwned while invisible and running from some huge enemy, that's a moment I'd get really pissed off, and so I'd remember that.

Deathclaws have very high perception, Stealth Boys won't really help you with them, as long as one isn't mid-to-high leveled and/or doesn't pack powerful weapons, the best method to deal with deathclaws is to stray away of them as far as possible.

So you'll do the first after-tutorial quest after so long after all. In a way that quest could also be considered as a part of a tutorial. I remember that I did that quest immediately after completing the tutorial with my first character Dyvanche. I probably couldn't resist completing it immediately.

Problem is, by the time we notice them they're already running toward us. And it's always THEM, too, in New Vegas. In FO3, they'd usually be traveling solo.



Ha ha yeah, Justin Case is going to do that first quest. Not sure if he'll help the town or go against them, but that's another thing--it's neat to have a choice like that.

More Fallout Character Ideas: I am going to try making Justin Case look like a famous guy from one of those boy bands whose last name begins with a B. I think you all know who I mean. Giving him a Theme Song in the Characters thread, he'll definitely have a song from that guy's catalog.

The Beatles?

No, The Beatles actually had talent. Kidding. You'll see who it is tomorrow or Sunday.

Justin Beeper? Beaver?
