There are a lot less of them in New Vegas than there were in 3. With all of the new crafted items and various needs for many items, it has really made me start thinking about picking up a lot more things. I used to ignore everything that wasn't on my set list of "stuff to loot". Now I pick up everything at least once.
One thing I have found to be quite useless and also superglued to the bottom of your backpack is the Rocket Souvenirs... I have 157 of them for ever. I cannot sell them, drop them, nothing. I would love to have them just sitting on shelves in my homes... But it seems I will have them for life.
Fallout: New Vegas
Game » consists of 25 releases. Released Oct 19, 2010
The post-apocalyptic Fallout universe expands into Nevada in this new title in the franchise. As a courier once left for dead by a mysterious man in a striped suit, the player must now set out to find their assailant and uncover the secrets of the enigmatic ruler of New Vegas.
Useless items...
Here's a list of the items used for crafting. Handy for pack rats like myself.

" @bwmcmaste: The quest you get from the other guy in the dinosaur will eventually require them. You cant drop of sell them yet until you complete the quest, then you can sell the rest. It doesnt matter how many you have as they weigh nothing "Well, I couldn't sell mine after I completed the quest involving the rockets. I have the same amount, 157, just sat in my inventory. Luckily they don't weigh anything. If they did, I'd be pissed.
I did notice that virtually everything you can pick up now can be used in a crafting recipe. So of course I collected and stashed everything. Of the literally thousands of items I picked up and stored, I think the only crafting recipes I ever used were:
- Recycling used energy clips
- I made Party Time Mentats 3x for the charisma boost.
- Healing powder via the quest in Goodsprings
- Made one stimpack after finally finding some of the appropriate root.
Everything else I have saved is useable in crafting recipes, but when in the game do you really need to craft anything? Oh, and since I got the achievement for getting banned from the casinos, I have 60,000+ caps. So, basically, I could craft a ton of borderline-useless stuff and sell it to make even more useless caps. Great.
And that's why I'm back playing Fallout 3.
Nellis Airforce Base - Hanger - South End on Shelf
I've spent 40+ hours so far in the game, have beaten the storyline, and have also gotten every side quest achievement other than The Legend of the Star. I've yet to see a single schematic that I didn't start the game knowing. The only craftable item I learned to make was a goddamn Wasteland Omelet. The more I play (and discuss) this game, the less I like it, it seems.
I'm close to 60 hours in and I've been deliberately avoiding the storyline, just scouring the wasteland and improving my character. I've only found 1 schematic thus far. It's pretty cool how many different ways people play this game. At the moment, I'm just trying to clear all the achievements, and stay in everyone's good reputation graces. Well, the Powder Gangers absolutely hate me, but, c'mon...they don't matter.

This leads me to another question: is there a Fat Man in New Vegas? I played all the way through and remember catching a few intimations of it, but I don't remember ever seeing one.

" @INV2 said:Good to hear, one of the first things i done was break into the Powder Ganger prison and attempt mass murder. Ended up running away full of lead with them hating me."
