vandalism posted:All my bullets seem to be going down and to the right of where I'm shooting. They always hit towards the bottom right area of my cross hair. At first I just thought it was only my Survivalist's Rifle, but now I see that all my guns are doing this. It isn't too terrible because in most firefights I've tested so far, my gun is hitting outside of vats. I can shoot at a dead body, a tin can, or even a wall; however, and miss completely and hit whatever is down and to the right of what I'm aiming at. Then I aim a little bit up and to the left, and behold, I hit stuff. Have enough strength for your weapons? Have the no auto-aim addon? (If not you should get it, it makes your bullets where you shoot them)

My character's interaction with the Sierra Madre's lesson is a lot like Captain Kirk facing the Kobayashi Maru. He understands the premise, he just rejects it. The only time I'm "letting go" of that loving gold is when I'm paying the vendortron for all of this GRA cache.

At what point in the main quest is there a "point of no return"? Specifically, where should I be saving so I can reload and continue exploring without having areas inaccessible because it would "finish" the game, or what journal entry should I stop at so I can continue to play the game fully without finishing it?

The game will also automatically make a system save before the point of no return so you can go back even if you ignore all the warnings and/or choose to finish the game.

Oh great, that's pretty handy, and made me look like an idiot.  Did Fallout 3 have this? I'm sure it didn't because I remember being pretty mad about the ending and not being able to keep playing, which is what prompted me to ask about it for this one.

Xik posted:At what point in the main quest is there a "point of no return"? Nothing personal, but this question has cropped up so many times I went in and took a screenshot so it could hopefully be shoved in the OP. Is there a point of no return?  Yes. The game is quite explicit about when this is. Pictured above is the "Hey, this is the point of no return" dialogue option for the Yes Man ending. After this, you go to the second battle of Hoover Dam, and can't come back. You can't play 'after the end' (like Broken Steel in FO3). A little while ago the game was patched to create an autosave for you at this point, so that you don't lock your character into the endgame (as certain reading-comprehension challenged individuals have apparently done in the past). There are also a handful of "soft" point-of-no-returns, that specifically deal with which faction you are supporting. They appear as quests: "Don't Tread on the Bear", and "Beware the Wrath of Caesar". These are to let you know that you've helped out the NCR or the Legion to the point that if you continue to help one, you will alienate the other and will no longer be able to finish the game for the alienated faction.

I don't know if it was a mod I had at the time or if that's just how it is, but after I reached the point of no return and then finished the game, it reloaded the special save it made at that point but all the end game quests were completed, which was neat.

I'm trying to make kind of a gimmick run redoing one of the FO1 preset characters. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Natalia_Dubrovhsky (my version:)  Now I have one problem, that character uses the godlike trait "gifted" which basically gave 6 additional SPECIAL points for free and of course doesn't exist anymore because it's horribly broken. (The values are: 4 ST, 5 PE, 6 EN, 7 CH, 7 IN, 10 AG, 6 LK) the tagged skills were also sneak, stealing and Unarmed, one of which doesn't exist anymore. Any hints from the gurus who know more about the gameplay systems of this game to make a character that's approx. what that character was supposed to be in FO1? Maybe Perks I should get?

 The Courier's Stash DLC has certainly helped me spruce up my new self-imposed (in morals, anyway) character, aptly named C. Jacobs (the C stands for Courier, naturally). I mean just look at that codpiece.  He is just rocking that codpiece. Obligatory cheesy backstory to come later. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 07:09 on Sep 28, 2011 |

Ok, I'm going to bite. How on earth were you unaware of this? Do you just not use VATS normally so it's just a case of "I never use it so didn't know that", or you actually use it and just click once, then watch the animation, then do it again? I really am unsure how you even achieved this. While we are stating things we didn't know, for the longest time I didn't know you could cycle through item types in the shop/container view. I thought how absolutely frustrating it was that you had a single window with all your items and had to hunt down looking for all your armor or all your guns. Turns out you can press the left and right arrow keys to filter through item categories like in your pipboy.

I was hidden behind the npc in the goodsprings bar, stole his poo poo. I went outside, and for some reason everyone attacked. It said hidden when I did it.  Gonna have to redo because I was too stupid to save before trying it. Might just hold off until I can get GRA.

I just finished Lonesome Road and got the House conversation/duster even though like the first thing I did in Vegas was pop the flavor seal on that mummy bastard and go fist bump Yes Man before beginning a campaign of terror against the NCR and Legion. Whatever, the House coat looks coolest anyway. U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! edit: also I went into VATS to shoot a Marked Man with a chainsaw, but when I saw his name I was compelled to switch to a ballistic fist and run at him shouting "BONESAW'S RRREADY!" lonesome road was worth the purchase, is what I'm saying Pharmaskittle fucked around with this message at 08:31 on Sep 28, 2011 |

I'd normally either use VATS to score my opening shot then just fight normally, or fight normally and use VATS when I felt I had a good chance of finishing them. It never occurred to me that clicking stacked/queued attacks, even though it is painfully obvious. I have no justification, it was dumb, and I'm the dummy. I feel like an idiot.

So I spent a few hours being overincumbered, trudging from shop to shop in the New Vegas metro area, selling off half my Sierra Nevada gold to buy GRA schwag. Suddenly, a single legionary assassin busts out of the brush near the grub & gulp. I take a moment to decide which of my new weapons gets to be tested, and decide on Esther + Tiny Tot cluster nukes. Effective demonstration!  (minor collateral damage sadly Fitz and Lupe are no longer with us)Also I totally started humming the Kill Bill theme song as I slowly walked through freeside slicing up the random crackhead who somehow thinks its a good idea to attack the guy in desert ranger armor with a katana on his hip. Also, Lil' Devil is my new favorite murder button. Better DAM, DPS, and magazine capacity than A Light Shining in Darkness, plus added critical chance? poo poo yes.

rope kid posted:In Bethesda's defense, they've pretty much always made first-person RPGs. Futhermore, Fallout does fit the mold of first-person RPG pretty well. I am a turn-based strategy fan though and I'm really saddened by the lack of modern games with TBS systems and buy games almost only on principle of being slower than real-time. This is probably also cancelled out when I buy games like Saints Row because they are so much fun. Omnicarus posted:Wait what? I thought that Confirmed Bachelor was like a ladies' man. An alpha male like George Clooney or Benecio Del Toro that is ripped and masculine and doesn't get married because hey, plenty of fish in the sea. Sadly, you are not a special snowflake of ignorance.

I saw both a guitar and a katana as usable melee weapons while deciding which mods to install for my new playthrough, so no more excuses. Couldn't say in what mods I saw them though (sooooo maaaaanyyyy) May even have been that new Gunrunner-Armory-DLC.

This has been a long and involved play through for my current character. I can't wait to finish and then do a Legion run. I love the Bioshock reference and I want to do A Slave Obeys and kill Kimball Wilkes-style. So far I've done NCR and am now doing a Yes-Man ending. I want to try to avoid companions on that one but I love the story lines around them and it's always nice to have a pack mule or two. I just spent a couple of hours fighting in The Thorn. Great way to garner XP and you get paid - and laid! The Heated Super-Saturnite Fist with the Pyromaniac is loving awesome against Deathclaws, even at my Unarmed Level of 40 and my character is Level 39. I one-shotted the Legendary Deathclaw!
