you should be able to get four snowglobes near the start; Goodsprings, the Mormon Fort, Vault 21, and the Lucky 38. The only one that requires any skill is Vault 21, which requires either lockpicking, or sneak (to pick the front desk attendant's pocket)

vandalism posted:Welp I'm starting a new game. What is objectively the best starting special stat allocation? it depends on your build. like, if you want to go melee, you want to pump END up, but if you're strictly ranged, you can get by with 3/4. You almost certainly want high INT though, just for those precious skill points

~my last build~ for an unarmed char was 8/1/9/1/10/1/10. it was kinda gimmicky and I didn't plan on using it for like 40 hours like I did, so you don't actually need 10 luck (8 and common sense will get you thrown out of a casino for playing blackjack within ten minutes)

Wingnut Ninja posted:The whole "Legion must be brutal and pitiless in order to survive in the wasteland" philosophy also rings kind of hollow when they're up against numerous other viable organizations that, while having their own flaws (except for the Glorious Wingnut's Invincible Juche Securitron Army), get roughly the same results without all the rapey torture slavery. exactly, this is post-post-apocalypse, not ten minutes after the bombs fell where everyone goes all Mad Max or some poo poo. Their "well at least they make everything safer" poo poo just seemed obsolete compared to what else was going on in the Mojave.

closeted republican posted:Karma and the like has always been a bit wonky in the Fallout games. In F1 and F2, attacking someone like a random junkie or prostitute would often have an entire town, including named NPCs, start trying to kill you in a turn or two. I remember one of the sleazy Brahmin guys in Klamath trying to attack me, and as soon as I hit him, the entire city, including Sulik, went nuts and tried to kill me. Apparently people take their sleazy Brahman barons very seriously. The best part was throwing a rock at someone right before taking the tanker to the endgame in Fallout 2, resulting in the entire town of San Francisco going hostile and them getting the worst ending.

I guess it's kind of like assassinating the president in the middle of a giant war, it's not really going to change things that much but yeah, it's too bad that it wasn't much bigger of a deal. The NCR should have put a drat statue of you outside the embassy like that terrible mission in Oblivion

Skyrim, unfortunately, has a ton of unrealized potential. The civil war plot, which has a fantastic setup and premise, is completely ruined, because both sides have almost identical questlines, almost down to the actual lines the characters on each side speak.

Fledgling Gulps posted:I never finished NV, but with the DLC on sale I thought I might pick up a couple and just play those to try to get back into it. Old World Blues and Lonesome Road look the most interesting, that the case? Gun Runner's Stash is also really cool. Dead Money is really divisive, but worth playing. I think it's the best-written of the DLCs. Honest Hearts I kinda hated at first but in my third playthough, I kinda appreciated how pretty and understated it was. It's not spectacularly written, but it's just kind of pleasant. (also you get the best pistol in the game for finishing it)

The only part of HC I hated was that companions died. If a companion dies, which is generally something you can't control like "Boone inexplicably decides to draw his knife and run across a field toward a Legion Assassin", you're just going to reload anyway.

Gilg posted:Just got this from the Steam sale and I was wondering, is the level 30 cap from Logan's Loophole actually all that bad? I would think that by level 30 you would have got most of the skills and perks you would want, so higher levels would just mean higher level enemies. Items don't scale, so it seems like enemies would just get harder. Is this wrong? No, your'e pretty much right, and I honestly don't think there's any loot in the game that won't drop at level 30. OWB spoiler: You can change your traits at one point during OWB, so if you want to get rid of Logan's, you can do so

Prevented me from doing a energy weapons run, which finally seem worthwhile and better balanced. Slow-down isn't the word for it, everything just stops for half a second with most energy gun effects. Grenade explosions tend to do this again as well.

Node posted:With New Vegas fresh in my mind, I've been reading up on some of Skyrim's quests, and the outcomes of those quests are usually two choices, neither of which I would necessarily agree with. That almost never happened in New Vegas, there was always an option to finish a quest that would agree with my character. I hadn't really appreciated that until now. It's honestly almost worse that they half-assed the choice system rather than actually just give you no choice at all. I came up to a drug dealer selling Skooma, and my only options were to tell him no. Why the hell?

Momomo posted:So I got the game on the Steam sale. I feel really stupid but... could someone please explain the hacking to me? I just plain don't understand it. It's like Mastermind, or something. When you hit one of the words, you get feedback on how many letters are in the right place compared to the "correct" word. For this reason, it's good to pick a word that ends with a common suffix, like -ING (so if it returns, say, 2/8 Letters Correct, you can eliminate all the -ING words). Additionally, if you see an matching open and close bracket on the same line (like " {4g*} or [2@8.], you can click on the bracketed section and either remove an incorrect word, or refill your allowance of tries.

let's not even mention the fact that both civil war quest-lines are as identical as they could possibly be (even going down to some of the lines the different faction leaders give you), despite the fact that they actually went through the trouble of differentiating the factions and adding some moral ambiguity. What a waste.

yeah, if you laid out fallout 3's map on a table, there would be some scattered ruins of DC at the bottom, and the rest of the map would look like someone just dumped settlements and landmarks around at random I mean, the idea is that you can go any which way and find "content" (whereas in NV, if you wandered into the wilderness, you would probably find more wilderness), but it also meant that the world felt incoherent and unrealistic.
