Like, sure, it sucks to lose a run cos you didn't get lucky. But then other times you get the perfect run and you laugh as you unload everything you have onto every enemy ship you encounter.
Honestly, when I play FNV and basically know the optimal way to play the game for every build possible I start to wish that all games had RNG in them.

It's there but it isn't as strong as a beginner may think. I agree I. The New Vegas thing, I'd love for that game to throw me for a loop
