I'm really glad I saved before I spent 21000 caps on the Bozar. What a piece of garbage that thing is. Huge spread, and in VATS it took more than a clip to kill a legionnaire. I'll just stick to my Gobi Campaign Sniper Rifle and my All-American Carbine. Bash Ironfist posted:No matter how many times it happens, turning someone into a pile of ash with an energy weapon never gets old. *Pew* *sizzle* Eh. That is all I did in Fallout 3. Piles of ash and goo can only get a person so far. Now that I have finished New Vegas, I plan on going through 3 with small guns. reagan fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Sep 29, 2011 |

rope kid posted:Yeah, the Bozar is not an automatic Anti-Materiel Rifle. It's a scoped LMG. It doesn't do a lot of DAM, but its DPS is high and its accuracy is *~ pretty good ~*. Because it uses 5.56mm, there are a lot of ammo choices, and that gives it a great deal of flexibility. It was poo poo compared to my typical arsenal. Certainly not worth the caps they ask for. Accuracy pretty good? First I tried to shoot using the sight, and the bullets went everywhere. Then I tried VATS and it didn't even kill the lame-rear end legionnaire when I used all of my AP. And I'm a pathetic bastard who is level 50 and spent a ton of levels on VATS traits. Bah! I reloaded the autosave and killed the same enemy in one shot with the .308 Gobi rifle. Gun Runners.

SeanBeansShako posted:So rope kid do you know how well the DLC sales for FNV are in general numbers wise at all? I read somewhere that the last guy working on New Vegas moved onto their next project after GRA was released. In other words, if anything is still broken or bugged, it'll never be fixed. But rope kid will know for sure.

Berk Berkly posted:Well, no, that isn't what we are talking about. BoS is pretty classic fallout in theme and location, it just attempted to translate it into an Action game instead of the isometric TBS-RPG. Bethesda has a project lined up after Skyrim. I think we can all guess what that is. If they can successfully incorporate the improvements and lessons from New Vegas, I think Fallout 4 will be pretty great. The only problem is trying to decide the location.

I had the same thing happen to me with the NCR on the strip. It seems like some kind of glitch with the MPs near the Embassy. Just finished that character yesterday and took the dam for NCR. Weeks ago I successfully did Arcade's quest and convinced the remnants to help the NCR, and I told Arcade to go help the Followers instead of coming to the battle. Imagine my surprise during the ending cinematic when it said: quote:Though Arcade's intentions were pure and his goals were noble, he ultimately succumbed to the harsh brutality of the Mojave like so many before him. Apparently that is only supposed to play if Arcade was killed during the game, so I don't know what christ. Dumbass must have been killed on his way to the Mormon fort. I'll have to reload a save and see if I can find his corpse somewhere. So, now I'm thinking of doing a Legion run-through. My NCR guy was a tank who used the Gobi rifle and the unique Marksman carbine, so I'd like to try something different this time. Walking around in pre-war clothes and melee sounds fun. I'll be just like Vulpes! reagan fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Oct 3, 2011 |

Bobfly posted:Holy poo poo, I'd forgotten how impossible it is to make human looking characters in games with this engine. After much fiddling, I've finally managed to get my guy to look like a middle aged woman with a beard. THAT'LL DO. I just give up and end up with some variation of one of the presets. Still not as bad as Mass Effect. Your character will look great in the creator, then you load it up (and wait through cutscenes that you can't skip) and it ends up looking horrible ingame.

Wolfsheim posted:If you're super-thorough about exploration, OWB itself could get you ten hours, and the others are at least five hours apiece. I'm OCD as gently caress and this is the truth. I spent at least 10 hours on OWB. However, it isn't just Obsidian. Fallout 3 was the same way. Not as good, but I still wandered around for hours. I'm replaying it right now, actually. Need a break before I go for my second New Vegas run. penis bandana posted:Raul also has the best backstory, outfits, and voice actor.

I felt that with the exception of Honest Hearts, the enemies scaled pretty well with my level. OWB and LR in particular. I hosed up with Dead Money and used the stupid police pistol to kill the ghosts instead of the bear trap fist.  Next time.

Galewolf posted:I can't belive how much content i've missed during my first playthrough. Entire Westside, Camp Searchlight, The Thorn, Cottonwood Cove, Vault 34, Sewers and god knows what else. Obsidian I think I ruined the game by being a completionist the first-time around and exploring every single loving marker on my compass. I've already seen everything. drat OCD.That being said, I used to be Fallout 3's biggest fan, but after finishing New Vegas it is pretty clear that NV>FO3. I'm replaying 3 now and I'll be damned if I don't miss the iron sights. My character can't hit poo poo outside of VATS in Fallout 3. And since I'm a retarded babby, it didn't even occur to me until now to ask why the gently caress Radscorpions are in the Capital Wasteland. So good job rope kid and everyone else involved. Do you guys have any input on Fallout 4, or did Bethesda just tell you to fuckoff and wait for Fallout 5?

SpaceMost posted:I thought that the designers got lazy or maybe unironically loved Hellgate: London or something, but then actually I visited D.C. and used their subways. Yeah, the stations are pretty accurate, but they sure do get old after the first few you explore. The locations in Fallout 3 that are marked on the map don't really make much sense either. Downtown DC has a bunch of office buildings that are larger than the "towns" that aren't marked on the compass. I'm playing the game again, and I ran into the L.O.B. Enterprises building in Falls Church. It's a 3 story building consisting of 3 separate maps. It even has a neat backstory - but nah, instead, a burnt out building with 2 raiders is a good location to mark on the Pipboy. \/\/\/ And if you do feed it into a blender, you only have one other option for your home base and it's in the middle of nowhere. I hate Megaton, but I saved it just because it was a little closer to DC. reagan fucked around with this message at 06:23 on Oct 10, 2011 |

J Bjelke-Postersen posted:Obsidian Fallout 4 confirmed. Fire up the hype machine. I'm pretty sure Bethesda is going to do Fallout 4, and then have Obsidian do the following installment. And if I had to take a guess, I'd say that many of the posters are pretty close and that the game will revolve around The Commonwealth/New England. Boston and NYC could be the two major cities. We visited Pittsburgh already, and Toronto is apparently on the way up as well. I'd like to touch on the vegetation issues in Fallout 3. I think part of the problem with that is limitations with the Gamebryo engine. The plants usually end up looking like poo poo, you can't see anything through the shrubbery or grass, so good luck finding any of the loot. Another poster - sorry, I forget who - mentioned several pages back that the next game should start you off without a pipboy. Meaning you have to find some poor Vault Dweller and saw their arm off to get at it. Either that or you can be a nice guy and pay caps out the rear end for one. In fact, you know what would be hilarious? If you run into some NPC named the "Lone Wanderer" and you can murder him for his pipboy.

You only get them if the Legion likes you? gently caress that.

Are these Legionary Assassin spawns occurring during subsequent playthroughs? I know with Fallout 3, Enclave soldiers will spawn before they are supposed to after you've beaten the game and started over.

Cowcaster posted:They were so lazy that they just gave all the virtual items something like 65535 durability or something than bothering with actually making it infinite. In practice it's the same thing though. I'm pretty sure the regular, normal durability one is even there in the game files, it was just a matter of whatever doofus was in charge of putting together the reward room slapping the wrong one in the footlocker. And then there's the glitch to get all of the unbreakable equipment from the simulation.

I've only played Fallout 3 and New Vegas on the 360, but I'm planning on picking them up on Steam during the sale. What are the must have mods to improve the graphics and gameplay while keeping faithful to the original game? I don't want anything that radically changes the gameplay.

Ugh, I've recently put a significant chunk of time into a new Fallout 3 save, but I just fired up New Vegas and it is so much better. Goodbye Fallout 3 and your endless metro tunnels. Does anyone have any experience transferring 360 saves to PC? I just did that myself, and it looks like everything has transferred fine, but I don't want to play for 10 hours only to find out that quest characters won't spawn or some poo poo.
