I had a lot of trouble travelling from SF, too
Actually, midway through the game the car travel seemed very buggy for a while, then it straightened out again. At one point I even lost the car somewhere in the desert because the travel was so erratic I didn't realize I had run out of gas along the way and had somehow walked on.
Edit: This game sure is a lot easier when you know what you're doing. With just my pals Cassidy, Sulik and Vic, properly armed and armoured, this game is going much faster. This time I found a Pancor Jackhammer quite early on and Cassidy has been a holy terror ever since, though it's best to stay out of his way. Vic is actually not half-bad with a good pistol. I think I'll keep him for the rest of the game this time.

But it's so hard to line up properly. I'm having the same trouble in my current game. This time, though, I have the properly souped-up car and can travel long distances without having to refuel, which is handy.

Hmph. You'd think you could drive along the coast, though. Actually, I have had a few high-experience "encounters" right on the beach, so skirting the edges isn't such a bad thing to do.

Okay, I think I've run into a major problem. In New Reno, I've just talked to Myron and delivered the message to Ramirez at the Stables. When I travel back to New Reno, my PE drops from 8 to 4, and my CHA drops from 6 to 4. It seems to be a permanent stat drop, as I've tried resting and that doesn't help -- and it happens every time I travel out of the Stables. I can't see any reason for this happening. It's a huge problem, of course, and I have no idea what causes it or how to make it stop. Any ideas what might be causing this? ...Never mind. I forgot I'd tried a Mentat. Which just goes to show, boys and girls, that we should just say, "No," to drugs.

Actually, in this game my character has used more stims than in the last game because I'm using her as the primary fighter instead of letting my party members take all the pain. Unfortunately, I am now at the point where the very next stim will give me the undesirable "Addict" trait.
Soon as I finish up here in New Reno I'll be off to rehab.

I do use use those, but even with a Doctor skill of 125% and a Doctor's bag, I only get 4-10 points of healing per use, so it isn't much use for major healing after a tough fight. I do the rest, then heal, then rest again technique, but it gets to the point where I feel that's all I'm doing after a while.
Things should be looking up combat-wise, though. I have a Laser Rifle, and I just picked the Tag perk for Energy Weapons, which immediately took my Energy Weapon skill from 70% to 135% or thereabouts. That should be enough to take on most enemies for the next little while.
Off to the desert for some random encounters.
Edit...I've jut discovered that I didn't finish the Military Base in my last game. But, is there ever a lot of cool stuff down here. And I've leveled up twice!
I've also discovered that in the random encounters near the side of a cliff, you can actually go down into the caves! I missed many experience points, I guess. The last one was full of Deathclaws.
Does anyone know if thre is a way to save the colony living in Vault 13?

I really must get Fallout 1 as well. I can barely remember it, or even if I ever finished it. I haven't been a fan of turn-based combat in the past but I'm warming up to it. It takes a lot more strategy and planning, and your character build is much more important, I think.
I'm back in Navarro, this time blazing a path through the various baddies with my Energy Weapon skill up at 190%. I think that will do for that skill, now.
The trouble with Navarro is that this is around the point in the game where you start to get the really good stuuf, and the game is actually nearly over.
I might try some further devilry, such as wiping out the slavers in Vault City, just for fun, though if it costs me too many Karma points I might reconsider. Also, once I've got my hands on a set of Power Armour for all three of my henchmen, I'll be cruising the desert around the coast near Navarre. I love running into those Enclave Patrols, though they are tough.
There are a few other people I'd like to have a word with, too...
