Can I Beat Fallout: New Vegas as Vance? (Hardcore Mode)

As the champion of the faction leaders division of Faction Warriors, our man from Meresti's got another run in 'em! This time around we're exploring a Mojave where Vance is active... but not as the Courier. In addition to our usual rules, we don't have access to little quality of life utilities such as the flashlight and VATS mode!
Vance may not be the Courier, but he has since become friends with them. In this timeline, Benny succeeds in killing our favorite mailman. As the Courier is considered an honorary member of The Family, that doesn't sit too well with Vance. Hell hath no fury like a vampire past his prime :)

One thing I did notice was that I somehow use AP despite not using VATS in a couple of instances and it's always during the cinematic slow-mo, no idea why though. Feel free to let me know if you've got the answer :)
That said, enjoy!

I am really loving your Fallout NV playthroughs

[@MidlothianOdyssey]

Glad you're enjoying 'em!

[@deathriderx1540]

can you beat FoNV as a [heavy] only power-armor, Machine guns, and DRUGZ BOoZ.

I'm curious if your old channel's faction warriors and invasive species vids are available anywhere?

[@MidlothianOdyssey]

The laptop I used to record on died out. That was real upsetting esp. cause I had some pictures on there that I can no longer get back.
As far as the old content goes the ol' laptop had very little storage and I was in the middle of getting a new external. Go figure, hah. Invasive Species I've got a lot of reruns on my backlog with some updates to the old rules, just been a matter of having time to get around to uploading them and new runs to my Pokemon Channel.
