You can walk out with enough turbo or the GRX implant and a significant amount of drug duration boosts. I don't think turbo spawns in DM anymore, though, and you can't find the components to make it.

Used to be, if you timed it just right, you could sneak right out through the front door while Elijah was fiddling with a computer, but the script triggers got beefed up to prevent that.

When were the script triggers altered? I'm hoping to replicate my earlier success of "throw on a stealth boy and walk right out as fast as my unbelievably encumbered rear end can carry me". If I recall, the force field slammed shut right behind me when I pulled it off correctly.

Just making sure this is still doable because gently caress letting go. I'm not learning my lesson. :colbert:

There are some scattered throughout Dead Money. Not many, but some. None in the vault proper though no.

I made a point of saving a stealthboy for that specific purpose.

I envision the Courier dragging a giant Grinch sack of gold, cackling through the wastes, sloooooooowly back to civilization. It's by far the best ending for Dead Money especially if you're a good karma Courier. Convinced everyone to LET GO AND MOVE ON MAAAN...and then ran off with all the gold. Suckers.

Then I end up having to heave most of my poo poo in the Abandoned BoS locker and make a billion trips back and forth to my hideout.

Elijah never wanted the money did he? He just wanted the tech in the cloud to wipe the world clean.

I took one bar and left the rest. Carefully thought out themes that I'm actually a part of are too rare in games to break it.

If they Wasteland 2 Kickstarter reaches $2.1 million they'll bring in Obsidian.

Let me reiterate:

If you donate to the Wasteland 2 Kickstarter, Obsidian could end up working on the game.

The only way this could be any more awesome is if they announce that at $2.2 million, they will buy the rights to "Turn Up the Radio" so you can roll Konstantin Brayko

Puce Moose has a series of mods, and one of them involves unfucking the OWB nonsense. I've mentioned it before, but he's discovered a lot of quirks in the DLC that are pretty entertaining. For example, almost all enemies in OWB are "controlled" by ~9 actors, and when the hosts are killed, the actors go off and randomly spawn in another enemy to control. This is why it felt like you could never clear an area, and why areas with no enemies would suddenly be crawling in them.

Go on the Nexus and look him / her up. It's all in their OWB module.

But it's like going into the year 3000 when it comes to competent writing. So it's a trade-off. Let down by graphics but mind-blown by dialogue, or vice versa? And yeah, your 3rd person camera is bugged. It shouldn't work like that.

Oh sorry, I forgot not everyone can read minds over the internet. I can't zoom it out and have it stay there. If I hold down the button and zoom it out far enough to say, see my character's rear end, when I let go of the button it snaps back up close to my character model, denying me all that buttocky goodness.

Yeah, but if I had played this game before skyrim, like I had intended to, instead of being a cheap bastard who waited for the Ultimate Edition to get released (then waited an aditional month for it to drop $10), I wouldn't have had to trade-off anything. Because I'm pretty sure this looks just as good as F03 did, but after 100+ hours of dumb-but-gorgeous skyrim, this is pretty jarring.

I played F03's outdoor areas solely in 3rd person, zoomed out so I could see my character's feet, and I'm talking guns and no vats. Is there a reason that NV doesn't allow this? Something technical?

Has anyone got eyefinity working? It works in Skyrim, but I can't get it here. There is lots of information available on fixing GUI and game-terminal issues, but I can't get the game to run on more than one screen, and issue I can't find a solution for: I have a low-res image displaying on my center monitor only. I can't see the menu options at all, and when I blind-press to get in the game, the center monitor is still the only one active.

NV does look a lot more bland than FO3 in my opinion, it comes with the different setting. You'll probably get used to it after a couple of hours though.

Did you look through all the options and stuff? I played this game on PC in third person a lot and I don't think I ever had that problem, the game definitely allows third person play. Have you gotten the buttons to move the camera around and actually zoom it out mixed up? On PC you use the scrollwheel to zoom in or out, and plus I think there's a seperate key to go to 3rd person too. So look through all the controls and options and stuff.

That's actually what's supposed to happen with the 3rd person camera. Or at least originally. I'm not sure if they patched it out or something, because it stopped happening for me after a while.

It doesn't matter. As long as your INT isn't stupidly low, you can trivially max all your skills. In the end, every Fallout 3 character is identical.

So, is there a known bug in FNV with, uh, the player's head exploding seemingly at random? :ohdear: I don't have Honest Hearts or Dead Money installed, but I do have OWB and Lonesome Road.

I did a Google and I noticed one or two threads about it, but nothing like a definitive answer.
