Dr. Gene Dango MD posted:Can anyone point me towards some quests that boost NCR appeal, and a nice place to find Stimpacks? I know Gunrunners is the place to go for ammo and guns, but I usually travel to Novac for Stimpacks and between the occasional merchant and the junk yard down always I'll be lucky to get 2 or 3. The best way to find stimpacks is to loot toilet blocks. Don't let the guy with a lead pipe make it less than worth your while though!

Is there a mod or something that will stop followers dropping broken weapons? I love the idea of giving Raul A Light but if he threw it away for no good reason I'd probably kill him.

VocalizePlayerDeath posted:I played through the DLC in the order they were released. Yeah I cleaned out the casino with my high luck and then didn't really know what to buy. So I got stimpacks... so many simpacks.

Speedball posted:Besides stimpacks, it's a great and easy way to get weapon repair kits. Much less tedious than scrounging duct tape, electronics, scrap metal, wonder glue AND wrenches. I always end up taking jury rigging and hand loader because no matter what guy I start out to make I just can't resist shooting motherfuckers.

I never took Raul anywhere and I've been surprised at the number of times he's stopped me to chat about some old warrior codger we met and whether they should still be fighting or retire. It's cool.

I can't imagine the frustration of thinking "how awesome would it be if X thing happened or you could do X action in this scenario" and everyone agreeing, then turning to your flow of events and trying to draw the lines before going "actually, gently caress this."

Speedball posted:Ugh, the Sierra Madre Vault always pisses me off. Way too many drat speakers, only half of which you can disable. Some of it is only beatable by you bum-rushing straight through an area, others require you to sprint to tiny safe zones only you don't know where the safe zones are because you can't even tell where the speakers are half the time. People always complain about this but I think the speakers killed me once as I played through that DLC. I always felt like I had the ability to peek around and find out where they were and if they were secured or breakable.

I didn't see a single definable reference to Portal (which of course would have been cool since Portal is great). It's the most blatant 50's schlock scifi homage in living memory.

Upmarket Mango posted:I think my favourite way of killing him is sleeping with him as a female courier. He's absolutely dumbfounded why you would want to do such a thing, and he's totally turned on by it. Yeah he's a loving creep, but it's pretty funny how he's all like yowzer! Mastiff posted:There's a branch of dialogue in Mr. House's tree where he talks about having spent over 800K caps tracking down the platinum chip. Even with luck maxed you only get 40 or 50k or something like that from gambling. I guess if you never bought anything and hoarded poo poo you could get there. You'd probably have to glitch the gold out of Sierra Madre and poo poo as well... which defeats the point sort of. J Bjelke-Postersen fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Jan 24, 2012 |

I still think Fallout set in New Orleans would be awesome. Hillbillies, rude accents, booze, jazz, irradiated swamplands, huge gators, French colonel types and a few wastelanders who just want to hold onto the old timey freedoms of New Orleans. I know it's a little bit like NV with the whole vice thing, but it would be pretty fresh and you could do some neat poo poo with the whole area from the coast to New Orleans to Lafayette.

gohuskies posted:Except they'd probably put Mardi Gras in the DLC or some crap like that A Mardi Gras mission or whatever where you can choose to save or destroy the festival would be cool. Save it by sniper overwatch or bomb sniffing or imparting your intelligence to a security detail or roll charisma and win the day by putting on THE BEST GOD drat PARADE EVER.

Defiance Industries posted:Sad thing is, I'm pretty sure it will end up like a comment I saw on the trailer for one of the NV DLCs on YouTube. Urgh. My Fallout dream is always to like, hang out, maybe explore a busted out supermarket, repair some old persons treasured [item] if you feel inclined, casually kill someone over the matter of six bottlecaps. You know. Fallout poo poo.

Coughing Hobo posted:This is what I did with my most-recent character. I cheated a bit to do the recruiting quest for her as early as I could leave Goodsprings, then the two of us rolled around poo poo-faced shotgunning everything to pieces. It was pretty freeing to have to worry about only three things: alcohol, a shotgun, and more alcohol. I;ve done this too, it's probably a pretty common RP since Cass is a good character and being a cowboy with naught but a shotgun and revolver is hardcore as poo poo in a game where you fight the full unbridled power of SCIENCE and etc.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Ok, just finished Honest Hearts -- thanks for the above advice (everyone), got all the stuff I wanted packed out with relative ease. Planning on heading straight into Old World Blues next, so is there any particular advice going into that? Any weapons that are good to take, or does it take all my stuff again? It will take your gear, but you get it back promptly. You'll have lockers, supplies, benches and a shop accessible.

gohuskies posted:You can bring as much as you want to OWB. If you are a guns character, bring a LOT of ammo for whatever your favorite weapon is. You will find little. Might also be worth putting a couple of points in melee so you don't have to waste ammo on some of the weaker enemies. You're generally OK with hand loader. I never wanted for .45 Super.

Pope Guilty posted:The one issue I have with VATS as an "I don't play shooters" thing is that you really don't have enough AP to replace actually shooting at things with VATS. Yeah but it alleviates your need to shoot things, plus you can perk it. You can shoot a couple of guys in vats and only have one left to take down with your pathetic aim.

thrakkorzog posted:From what I understand, a ground burst forces a lot of irradiated dirt and other crap up in the air, because it has no where else to go after the explosion. Then it falls back down, contaminating the area where it lands. How long would the radiation in the air last from an airburst bomb? I've got no idea about this poo poo and it's pretty interesting. I hope this isn't a derail, but it is my Fallout love driving inquiry.

So am I to understand that the whole nuclear armageddon thing wouldn't really happen? Is it because no one is capable of launching their missiles capable of destroying earth ten times over or what?

I always get through a run to the point where I have done everything for one faction fully intending to give them power and at the crucial juncture I can never help but do a Wasteland Isildur and crack a smirk, then kill all my foes and take the platinum chip for myself.
