Can You Beat Fallout: New Vegas As Leatherface?

we are currently in the spooky season meaning it's pretty much mandatory to make a horror themed video of some kind i took some time to go through some comments a while ago and realized just how many people were interested in this run suggested by keith koala the idea seemed pretty fun to me so here we are as today's the day we figure out can you beat fallout new vegas as leatherface truth be told before this video i knew frightly little about leatherface other than he's a pretty fun character in mortal kombat x to that end i actually ended up doing a decent amount of research for this video which led me to a game facts post where someone also wanted to make a leather face build in it they mentioned that the best pieces of clothing to wear would probably be the shabby gambler suit and the lobotomic mask without the goggles initially i thought that there might be a mod that leatherface's outfit to the game and when i find this image i thought i'd find it turns out though that the mod creator deleted the files a long time ago so the initial idea with the lobotomize mask and the gambler suit was the best way to go it should be fairly obvious as well that i won't be allowed to trade or use caps at all in this run and that my only method for healing myself would be the cannibal perk to be just a little bit more like the character that being said i made the decision to allow myself to heal crippled limbs mainly concussions with doctor's bags the reason being from a viewing standpoint the video would become pretty hard on the eyes if the blur effect from the crippled head kept popping up every few seconds not to spoil much but i believe i only ended up being able to use them about three times during the run as not being able to buy them made them relatively scarce and as a result i end up spending the majority of the run crippled anyway i don't want to make this intro any longer than it needs to be so i'll go over any other important points about the run when they come up with all that out of the way let's begin when doc mitchell asks me for my name i decide to type it out just how i believe leatherface would perfect for my specials i maxed out strength and endurance and injury and charisma and intelligence as it just makes sense for the character i then dropped a point from perception as looking through that mask as bound to mess with your vision slightly and then dump the remaining points in the luck this is because i feel you'd have to be a pretty lucky individual to survive what leatherface has endured over the years as for the tag skills i take melee weapons because they will be what i'm using repair as he managed to keep that chainsaw working pretty well throughout the movies and then finally survival because well more on that later i then take wild wasteland because why not and once i'm in control i drop every single thing in my inventory and then give myself the lobotomic mask by console commands and now things could truly begin the main issue is getting a chainsaw sure i could gamble in the casinos and buy one from the gun runners but that wouldn't be very leather face now would it no instead i was going to take one by force and i decided motor runner was going to be the person that i would get it from now while i'm sure leatherface has probably killed people before with his bare hands i decided to go look it up and find out that other than a chainsaw he's also used hammers and cleavers in my eyes that makes them fair game so rather than quickly looking up where to find a normal cleaver or hammer i instead began making my way for wolfhorn ranch to get chopper the unique version of the cleaver it took me just over 15 minutes to run from doc mitchell's house in good springs to wolford ranch to grab the weapon and it was a risk-free journey so i won't waste any more time on it with my cleaver i returned to good springs and let the slaughter commence the first to go was easy pete for no other reason than i saw him first i then entered the saloon and hacked away at sunny smiles and cheyenne until they stopped twitching leaving and re-entering the saloon spawns in trudy and joe cobb so i quickly dispatched them before i would head off to see chet speaking of head off that's exactly what happened i even stored it in a nearby box for later when i have the cannibal perk a few of the nameless farmers met their hands at my hands before i decided to check up on doc i gave him a head injury not too dissimilar to my own only this time there would be no one to fix him with good springs and ruins i head in the direction of black mountain to use the shortcut in the hopes of quickly making my way to vault 3 to get my chainsaw on the journey i continued to dull my cleave around just about anything that stood in my way this mainly consisted of bark scorpions and the entirety of the quarry workers at sloan i attempted to skin nail but given the fact i cannot heal myself and that i'm only level 2 it does not go very well loading back and i ignore him and make my way through the shortcut and past count my card and come face to face with some fiends they don't have much health or really any defense for that matter so they're easy enough to cut up however i'm also lacking any kind of armor so after taking more than a few bullets and lasers to my bare skin i am rather close to death so a frontal assault on vault 3 at this stage is next to impossible that said all of this killings got me pretty close to level 4 and once that happens i'll have the cannibal perk and with it a way to heal myself trying to think of safe places to grind for xp it occurs to me that i never dealt with ringo so it was time for one more stop in good springs i'm not sure why this happened but when i found ringo he was standing on the shelves in the corner of the room looking down on me clearly he was taking advice from obi-wan sadly for him however he is no jedi and as such doesn't stand a chance in probably the most leather-faced part of this run when i kill him i managed to glitch his head into the ceiling and almost mimic the scenes of people hanging on meat hooks well that was until ringo started doing this weird running and place maneuver to get the last little bit of experience that i needed i headed back to nipton to kill boxcars as well as a few bark scorpions as it was just enough to push me over the edge and let me descend into cannibalism as i kept his head preserved in a box it seemed only right that chet was the first one to be eaten he was then shortly followed by the rest of his neighbors with a way to heal myself i felt that i was as ready as i could ever be the end of vault 3 and really start this run in style entering the south vegas ruins and not gonna lie i was ready to be slaughtered by the sheer number of fiends turns out i was worried for nothing as once i got their attention i just ran back to the entrance and funneled them through the doorway to their doom also with the cannibal perk i get 25 hit points back each time i eat a corpse just to give you an idea of how the healing process goes basically it means when i'm up against a large group of weak enemies i can keep myself healed up pretty easily and get by with no issue but if i'm up against a small group of strong enemies i will struggle until i get my chainsaw case in point vault 3 itself or to be more precise the fiends with submachine guns having close to zero damage resistance means that they would tear through my entire health bar in seconds not helping matters was the lack of armor meant that if i got caught in the barrash of bullets i would be staggered to death more often than not and couldn't even fight back truth be told dealing with these enemies was all down to luck and i'm not just talking about the special stun like i just had to cross my fingers and hope they didn't immediately empty all of their bullets into me the instant i put my head around any corner something unexpected that actually ended up helping a lot in the situation was that i unlocked the dino dash perk after eating a certain number of people basically this lets me take pieces of people to eat later meaning if i'm at full health and they're still bodies around i can still make use of them at the moment it doesn't heal as much as just eating the bodies outright but that's why we tag the survival skill as the higher it gets the more these human remains will heal me in fact if i actually max out the survival skill they'll heal me more than the cannibal perk itself so this coupled with the luck i mentioned meant that i could in some cases par through the damage and get the kills and the fiends with the submachine guns in the room right before motor runner i very carefully dealt with the last few fiends and because he's a drugged up idiot whose brain is probably twisted up in the horns of his helmet he won't actually attack me even if he watches me murder all of his men and these two guard dogs this of course lets me get the jump on him putting me at quite the advantage in the fight despite how much better his weapon is than mine i also managed to disarm him at one point which just doubles down on how easy this really is a few more slices after this knee goes down i then leveled up and take the toughness perk which is damn near essential if i want to live and then once that's done i can finally grab the chainsaw and now the run can truly begin before testing the weapon out i head back to sloan to heal up as well as nipton where i eat all of the previously crucified powder gangers as i'm in the area i decided the first victim shall be vault base and his crew unsurprisingly they get torn to shreds within seconds makes sense as the chainsaw is one of the best melee weapons in the game and not to mention it has the added bonus of ignoring the target's armor and damage resistance the vat's attack is also absolutely brutal yes it uses pretty much all of my ap but it also takes all of vulpix's hp in return so i call that a pretty good treat i then eat volpasana's men because i can and then figure now is as good a time as any to go hit up freeside and by hit up i of course mean kill and cannibalize just about everyone this includes the many different kinds of elvi that i encountered at the king's clubhouse i took the majority of them as snacks for later except the king who i ate on the spot as by this stage i was planning to get the meat of champions perk which required me to eat the king house caesar and president kimball that wouldn't be possible though as i didn't plan on siding with the legion and considering what i have done to the ncr's people at sloan i don't think they are going to let me near their leader from here i then eat a few more people and then made my way into the strip proper remember how i just mentioned the chainsaw does not care about armor well that pretty much made slicing up the secure trance to get the key to the strip a complete non-issue because this is me we are talking about here it probably comes as no shock to any of you that the first casino i decide to add to the leatherface menu is in fact gamora as is to be expected their snappy sense of dress code does not stop the many serrated teeth of my chainsaw i even somewhat surprised big sal with chopper while trying to conserve the condition of the chainsaw he really did not seem fazed by the idea of a maniac running around his casino wearing a mask probably made from human skin after i ate though murders i was still pretty low on health but i figured the chairman wouldn't put up that much of a fight i was wrong back to the drawing board and i decided that in my current state i wouldn't be able to survive long enough so i went to go look for weaker enemies that i could kill and eat without being at too much of a risk i also decided to pay one final visit to goodsprings to grab the weapon repair kit from victor shack to repair the chainsaw seeing how it was quite close by i also headed off to prim to deal with the convicts there as suspected being as low level as they were i was able to chop them up rather efficiently and what made things even better was a few of them had cleavers on them so i could keep chopper in a pretty great condition after snacking on the convex i was nearly back to full health the key word there being nearly so i gave deputy beagle a head start that he didn't make much use out of and then i eat him as well realizing there were still many of the townsfolk alive in the vicky and vance casino i decided they were next on my shopping list as you can imagine it didn't take long to put them down the only person who even remotely tried to stop me was prim slim so good for him now that i was healed up and had a fair amount of human remains in my backpack i decided to make a quick pit stop at jean skydiving in nipton to grab two more weapon repair kits for the chainsaw as the thing deteriorates pretty fast the chairman still managed to rough me up pretty good upon entering but i'm going to chalk that up to the fact that for some reason benny's bodyguards were waiting right at the door instead of waiting with him at the other end of the casino not that it's a big deal or anything as it gave me more healing spots before i went to fight benny and now that he's all by himself he doesn't have the firepower to stagger me and as such one simple vat attack is enough to transform benny into dinner obviously from here i take the chip and the next logical thing to do is go to mr house but before that though i went on a small killing spree on the strip half because i wanted more healing supplies and half because it seemed like fun once again the securatrons aren't that difficult even the ones inside the lucky 38 are partis against me and as such it's not long before i'm chowing down on whatever meat is actually left on mr house's withered old bones with a pep in my step and human in my stomach i begin making my way for cottonwood cove to prepare myself a caesar salad i encountered a few feral ghouls on the way which i sadly lacked the perk to eat but on the bright side while i was waiting the end of the legion's camp malcolm appeared and was able to satiate my appetite charging the entire might of the legion at cottonwood cove head on didn't exactly seem like the best strategy to me so i got smart and decided to kill the can of severus first and then use his tent as cover to force the legion to come to me this meant that those of the legion who were carrying guns would also have to get close and as you can see it did not end well for them after about two minutes they had all been reduced to mulch and now that i was knee-deep in bodies i slowly began to eat every single one of them the nearby slaves and the phoenix also got the taste of brunt of my chainsaw if you were at all curious not gonna lie assaulting the fort was relatively simple as well the only ones that proved troublesome were the legion using ballistic fists but a more cautious approach was all that was needed to come out victorious that's all except for this one who seemed to be invisible i don't think he's using a stealth boys even after i killed him his body didn't seem to appear when it came time to confront the big cheese i knew that fighting inside his tent would be a death sentence due to how enclosed the space is so i led them all back out to the main area of the camp to give me more room to breathe i'll be honest i was more than just a little outmatched here and would have most certainly died if it wasn't for once again the safety of the tent this worked flawlessly against all the praetorians but then it occurred to me that caesar himself was nowhere to be found it didn't take long for him to reappear though as he came back with a revengeance as he now had a submachine gun my only weakness this would have been my undoing if caesar didn't have to reload and as such one vat's attack was enough to put him in the dirt this is of course a very special meal so rather than eating it on the ground like some sort of savage i clear the nearby table and enjoy the finest of dining i then murdered the last of the legion in the camp in the hopes of one of them dropping a chainsaw to repair my own but sadly that was not the case this time with the legion now out of the picture until the end of the game i began making my way to meet and eat the last few factions first up for starters was the boomers george was in the wrong place at the wrong time and as such he paid the price with his life no clue why pearl would request an audience with someone who looks like leatherface but it was ultimately her undoing as her raquel and the nearby boomers were all cut down i then caused a little bit more chaos around nellis before finally heading to loyal's house where i waited for him to return like a true horror villain and then sliced him up into little itty bitty tiny bite-sized pieces next up was the main course arguably the hardest faction to kill the brotherhood of steel or at least that's what i would normally say but let's not forget that the chainsaw really does not care if i armored you are so in other words [Music] [Music] the brotherhood was numerous so there was a lot of good eating to be had and by this point i'd maxed out survival so neither down and dash would heal more than the cannibal perk healing for 30 rather than 25 it may not sound like a huge difference but those extra 5 hit points per person add up pretty quickly when you're going on this many killing sprees at this point there was only two factions left and since i wish to save the best for last it was onwards towards red rock for old leathery features the nearest fast travel point i had to the cons was vault 3 so i had to re-knight for a bit with some old friends this also included cook cook and as cook's imply food he was of course eaten so that i could help him fulfill his namesake this path also led me to violet who while unremarkable in a fight had a large assortment of human flesh on han so it was kind of like an all-you-can-eat buffet which was a surprise to be sure but a welcome one from here the jogged of the can should have been a pleasant one but some legion assassins had to ruin they hit pretty hard so i had to use a few of my human remains to keep in the fight but luckily i emerged victorious and as such reaped the spoils that of course being their skin arriving in red rock and i make a beeline straight for the longhouse where i just never let go of the trigger under such efficiently carved my way through all of the cans including papa as i said i saved the best for last so it was after the white gloves and rather than kill them all i decide to help them as after all they are indeed cannibals much like myself there are a few ways to go about helping mortimer but i decide on the direct approach of just killing ted gunderson obviously my weapons were taken for me when i entered the casino so i wasn't in a good position for killing thankfully where there are cannibals meat cleavers usually aren't too far behind and wouldn't you know it i found one down here and then promptly used it to serve up tear this of course wouldn't look good for the white gloves so following mortimer's instructions once more i take some of ted's blood and after killing a few cowboy themed guards can spread said blood around his father's room in the hotel and from there we can frame him for murder this results in a heck and bad situation as he resists the rest and is promptly gunned down by securitron in the middle of the ultralux not that that matters to us though as i return to mortimer and he congratulates me on a job well done and for the first time in one of these videos i actually managed to get a positive reputation with the white gloves with that all the factions are dealt with so i make my way to yes man and tell him to meet me in the lucky 38 but then to my surprise apparently leatherface doesn't have a solid opinion on the great cans you know despite the fact i eat their leaders no matter i returned to red rock and pick up a few stragglers eat them and then i returned to yes man let him install himself into the mainframe watch the presentation and then inform him of the great cans now they have been eaten twice this was then where i realized i couldn't eat president kimball due to my low reputation with the ncr i even tried looting back and wearing an ncr uniform to see if that would work when talking to yes man but sadly it didn't so instead it was off to the substation to power it up as my rep with the ncr is now meaningless i go on a small rampage at the substation before returning to yes man and heading off to the battle of hoover dam fighting and dining my way across and through the dam is another one of those situations where it is incredibly easy due to the fact that there are so many bodies just lying around that i never need to worry about running out of food case in point look at how many human remains i had in my inventory just before entering the leggett's camp also helping out was the fact that at this point a lot of the legion are using chainsaws so i'm able to pretty much repair mine to max and as such it is doing a lot more damage at this point i even have a solid plan to deal with the praetorians where i essentially just hold the chance out in front of me and then run in a little circle as it really allows them to get in a hit when it's time to face a legget i use the old trick of attacking with your weapon as npcs cannot initiate a conversation with you if you're attacking this of course allows me to slowly walk up and just plant my chainsaw firmly in lanius the real problem is is reinforcements so once i get the leg to the point where he momentarily retreats rather than chasing after him and finishing the job i instead use the time to deal with any of his nearby guards with the same circle trick from before after this for some reason the leica thought it would be a smart idea to charge me with his grenades and not his sword so one last vats attack was enough to seal the deal i then mopped up the few surviving legion feasted on the leggett and then greeted oliver at the gate sadly i wasn't able to kill oliver myself due to getting stunned by his trips but i was fast enough to start eating him before yes man so rudely interrupted my meal informing me the day was saved ending the game and proving yes you can indeed beat fallout new vegas as leatherface this was an interesting run things got pretty simple once i got the chainsaw i won't lie but before that like getting through vault 3 with barely any waste of heal and next new armor was pretty tough i hope you all enjoyed this run especially those of you that have been asking for it for a while now happy halloween everybody regardless it's going to be down this
