The delivery goes horribly awry, however, and after you are robbed and nearly killed for the package you were carrying, you must set out in pursuit of your attackers. You are Courier six, an employee of the Mojave Express who has been entrusted with delivering a mysterious Platinum Chip.
But the mysterious overlord of New Vegas has his own plans for the future of the Mojave… Stuck in the middle are the residents of Nevada and the jewel in the desert the city of New Vegas. War never changes, and impending conflict looms between the two sides, the prize being the Hoover Dam and control over the Mojave. They’ve expanded east into Nevada, but across the Colorado river to the east a united army of tribals - Caesar’s Legion - have been organized under the guise of ancient Rome. The year is 2281 - two hundred years after the old world was eradicated by nuclear fire - and now the New California Republic has become powerful along the western coast of what used to be the United State of America. With a Sniper Rifle, however, accuracy is a much greater concern, and considering that higher damage weapons give a much better damage return over high Damage Threshold than lower damage weapons, you’re going to want to use the bigger, badder guns. The increased spread hurts, but with an explosive weapon or a Minigun, some inherent inaccuracy is built into the weapon anyways. Most of the time you don’t need a great deal of accuracy with, say, a Fat Man. Now, as far as unarmed, melee, and explosives are concerned this is only so much of a handicap. For melee weapons, it may slow down your rate of attack. If you don’t have enough Strength to use a weapon, your aim will wobble, and you’ll have a laughable to hit rate in VATS. Possibly the most important thing Strength does is it effectively limits what weapons you can use. Strength also increases your melee damage, carrying capacity, and gives a bonus to your Melee Weapons skill. If you played Fallout 1 or 2, you’ll remember that weapons in those games also had a minimum Strength requirement. Strength has a more important role in New Vegas than it previously had. “Strength’ll tell you how easily a cowboy totes his saddle, and those bigger firearms, or how much help he’s gonna be for ya in a saloon brawl.” It affects how much you can carry, the power of all melee attacks, and your effectiveness with many heavy weapons. Strength is a measure of your raw physical power.
