Can You Beat Fallout New Vegas With Your Feet?

There are a lot of ways to play through Fallout New Vegas. Different weapons to use, different play-styles to try out, and if nothing in the game makes it enough of a challenge, you could use something like a Guitar Hero controller or a flight stick to play the game. But even that doesn’t solve the base problem. It’s 2020, nobody wants to use their hands anymore. Can You Beat Fallout New Vegas With Your Feet?

Can You Beat Fallout New Vegas With Your Feet? (in text form)

First things first, if you’re in the rat movie Discord there’s a chance you already knew this: my big toes are big. Like, bordering on large. Also there will be feet in this video, so if you’re grossed out by feet I’d suggest putting on your big boy trousers and powering through the video anyway.

Going into this, I did about as little prep as I possibly could. Pretty much all I did was make sure I got my feet, the keyboard, mouse, and monitor within the webcam’s view. Then the game starts and Hell arrives at my doorstep like one of those weird toenail monsters who sustains itself on your foot fungus. I named myself something appropriate that can easily be spelled using your feet, spent 30 seconds trying to use the mouse to click on the Next button, had my character, and very carefully navigated my way over to the vigor tester. Hitting that right arrow took some finagling, but there wasn’t a chance in hell that I could hit those arrows to assign my SPECIAL Points, so I used my foot to hit the arrow keys to go back and the up and down arrows to distribute the points. I was not interested in doing anything other than the bare minimum to beat the game. 10 in Endurance to take damage, 10 in Intelligence to get the most skill points upon leveling up, 10 in Luck for a boost to all skills and because of the casinos on the New Vegas, and the rest didn’t matter.

I hit Caps Lock so I could slowly waddle over to the couch to answer Doc Mitchel’’s questions. Normally I would spam my way through this as quickly as possible. That’s not so easy here as you have to click the left mouse button to skip the dialog. That sounds easy but with a big toe the size of a small car it’s easier said than done. Upside is the arrow keys can navigate the dialog options and Enter can choose them. Same goes for Skills. I knew combat was effectively out of the question. Aiming with a Guitar Hero controller is tough, aiming with a foot and a mouse is nearly impossible. I went with Barter, Medicine, and Speech as my Skills, Good Natured as my first trait to boost Speech and Skilled to boost all skills, I made my way to Doc Mitchell’s front door, made sure not to accidentally activate Hardcore mode, and left to explore the Mojave Wasteland.

I’ll just tell you now, this was about 150 times tougher than playing with the Guitar Hero controller. Sure, with a guitar, your controls are extremely limited, you basically only have like 10 buttons to work with and some of those have to control movement and looking around, but you can at least have some level of control over what you’re doing. Think about it this way. a Guitar Hero controller is making a left turn the way you normally would. Sit at the light, go when it’s clear, whatever. Playing with your feet is putting on a blindfold before you even know you’re turning, wearing earmuffs so you hear nothing, and using your knees to turn whenever you think you should be going left. Are you at the intersection? Doesn’t matter, you’re going left even if it kills you.

I believe that up to this point, the question is no longer "can you?" It's "should you?"
