Agent Keller	70 Barter (FAIL)	<Give 250 caps> I'm sure Contreras would be willing to work with you...	[FAILED] You don't bribe a Ranger. You had better have something compelling to say, or you can join Contreras in hell.
Agent Keller	70 Barter (SUCCEED)	<Give 250 caps> I'm sure Contreras would be willing to work with you...	[SUCCEEDED] I wouldn't normally do this, but seeing so much money change hands between scumbags on a daily basis has me thinking.

Ambassador Dennis Crocker	60 Barter (FAIL)	That's it?	[FAILED] I'm sorry, but those are the only funds I was able to allocate. You'll have to make due with it. Besides, you may have other tasks soon.
Ambassador Dennis Crocker	60 Barter (SUCCEED)	I risked my neck out there. Couldn't you spare a little more?	[SUCCEEDED] Well, I don't officially have access to any more funds, but here. This is from me personally. There's more coming your way, too.

Big Sal	55 Barter (FAIL)	[Nero] You give me 4500 caps and I'll let you look at the proof I found.	[FAILED] I'm not sure if you're funny or just stupid, but I'm not amused. Make me a real offer and we can talk.

Issac	80 Barter (FAIL)	Just buy the supplies from the other merchants around here. Easy enough.	[FAILED] Oh hell, no. Working with our competition is not an option.
Issac	80 Barter (SUCCEED)	Arrange a temporary supply deal with other merchants. It'll still lead to a profit for you.	[SUCCEEDED] I guess we'll have to. If Caesar's Legion drives the NCR from the area, there goes ninety percent of our business.

Legate Lanius	75 Barter (FAIL)	So you, uh, think military strength is enough, even without supplies?	[FAILED] Your reliance on comfort... it rots you from the inside. You are in need of the teachings the Legion will bring to your people.
Legate Lanius	75 Barter (FAIL)	But the Legion... it's destroyed a bunch of... well, towns you need.	[FAILED] Your reliance on comfort... it rots you from the inside. You are in need of the teachings the Legion will bring to your people.
Legate Lanius	75 Barter (SUCCEED)	And they don't *need* to send an army, your supply lines will kill you first.	[SUCCEEDED] {Derisive}You think we would march without a means of resupply? We have the Fort, we will have the Dam - other communities will fall.
Legate Lanius	75 Barter (SUCCEED)	Towns? The Legion destroyed Nipton, poisoned Searchlight, butchered Nelson.	[SUCCEEDED] {Pauses}Vulpes... brought the touch of Caesar to such places.
Legate Lanius	90 Barter (FAIL)	The farther West, your strength will fail you, I promise you.	[FAILED] {Growing anger, disgust}I shall carve your {emph}promises into your skin so that you might think on them - and let that be the lesson this day.
Legate Lanius	90 Barter (SUCCEED)	There's no communities to support you in the West - you've seen to that.	[SUCCEEDED] {Growing anger}There are many towns, many slaves... ripe for the taking as the tribes from the East were.

North Vegas Fiend	50 Barter (FAIL)	You can't really enjoy living here. Take 50 caps and get out of here.	[FAILED] You're shitting me. You got a real offer, or are you just going to waste my time?

• Trudy example: does 75 mean 25% discount (pay 75%); or does it mean 75% discount (pay 25%) ?
• negative numbers like -50 means it's not a discount at all, the Courier is charged MORE than normal by the merchant ?
• what does a discount of a 1:1 ratio mean ???

Energy Weapons original page[]

Energy Weapons is a skill in Fallout: New Vegas. This skill determines the player's combat effectiveness with energy-based weapons.

Initial level[]

${\displaystyle \text{Initial level}=2+(2\times\text{Perception})+\left\lceil\frac{\text{Luck}}{2}\right\rceil}$

Example: A starting Perception of 5 and Luck of 5.

${\displaystyle 2+(2\times5)+\left\lceil\frac{5}{2}\right\rceil=15}$

In Fallout: New Vegas, energy weapons are more distinct. Lasers tend to have fast firing, accurate beams and lower damage, while plasma has a slow moving yet powerful projectile.
