I really should have played this before Skyrim, because it's kind of like going down a generation in console graphics after that game. And is my game bugged, or is that how the 3rd person camera is suppose to work?

Samopsa posted:How? You didn't explain what is wrong with it. And the 3rd person camera is pretty clunky, yeah. I prefer first person. 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. Cream-of-Plenty posted: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. 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. vvvvvvv 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? Niggard of Oz fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Apr 1, 2012 |

I think they made Powder Gangers start as nuetral so you could have the option of doing I Fought The Law. I can see why they did that, but as a first time player I was a little put off by how safe the starting area was. I manually set their faction hate to Villify though, by way of shooting heads. I think helping Ringo should have triggered them to hostile, but they don't seem to care if you kill Joe Cobb and his gang. I hope to god this is the last Fallout game to feature heads getting detached by bullets. It just looks dumb as all hell. Add a junk made gun that shoots table saw blades for that poo poo.

Kharmakazy posted:yeah, that never made sense to me given the economy. 100 caps buys you a permanent home with 24 hour sniper protection from invaders. Safe realestate would be at a premium I would think since there aren't all that many (relatively) safe places to call home. You're only renting it for 100 caps, and the lady says it's a reduced rate, atleast until the busy season starts up (something like that).

Maaan, I keep getting broken save games. It'll never load the game and just keep showing the same three or four gameplay-advice screens over and over, then I have to quit to dashboard and start up an earlier game and lose like 20 minutes of playing. Ropekid, who was responsible for No-Bark? I can literally count the number of times a video game has made me laugh out loud on my dad's right hand, and he cut off two fingers and a thumb on a tablesaw. That guy killed me with his "Ghosts. Commie Ghosts." And his shack being all booby trapped was a nice touch.

What's up with Karma in this game? I randomly get a huge bunch from killing ghouls or powder gangers, but it's so random I can't figure out what I'm doing to get it. I could kill 20 ghouls and not get any karma for 19 of them, but one of them will give it and put me from near evil to good.

Sooo, the peeps in Fallout land aren't just using bottle caps because an anthropomorphic millionaire duck once flew over in his airplane and decided to litter after having a bottle of pop? Hey, I thought Rock n' Roll never came to existence in Fallout land? Or was the F03 game manual just wrong about that? I see there's a school for Elvis impersonators, so that's not the case here. Which leads me to my next question. Where the hell is all the Rockabilly and Greaser rock? There are so, so, so many songs that would fit these games perfectly.

Oh hell, I wasn't talking about Elvis songs. I know that shits too expensive. Or even Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, or Ricky Nelson for that matter (although Dean Martin couldn't have cost less than those guys, Ain't That a Kick in the Head has been in something like a dozen movies in the last 10 years alone) I'm talking about the more obscure rockabilly and 50's rock songs, there are a lot of one hit wonders and just plain forgotton abouts that I can't imagine them not being dirt cheap, or public domain. And there are quite a number of them about 50's science fiction subjects or goofy horror stuff. I could put together a playlist if anyone's looking for a custom radio station, all songs that would fit this game's setting perfectly, but I'm not sure if that falls under filez.

This only led me to The Legion only forgave me for about five steps, because that's how many that Alerion guy took before I blew his head off outside of The Tops. He told me how they were willing to forgive me for killing that Vulpes guy in Nipton, and I actually said out loud while playing, "Well, do you forgive me for this?" then exploded his head with That Gun. I didn't even approach the dudes in Nipton. I saw what was going down, set up a mine field between two houses, and proceeded to blast mofos while they rushed me and got their legs blown up.

Oh, and the problem I was having with the game locking up went away when I cleared my cache and Xbox live installed a patch that was actually visible in storage. The patch that's on the Ultimate Edition disc gets installed to the system cache. I'm not sure if it's a different patch or having the thing installed as if it's DL content made the difference.

foobat posted:I switched out Boone as I'd finished his side story as was doing Veronica's. I should take a leaf out of Niggard of Oz's book drop the whole completion-ist ("i'll go see him because it's an option in the game!") thing and just kill whoever I drat please instead I played for 30 hours like that then restarted when I realised this game actually provided oppurtunities to play out different characters with different results. Right now I'm playing as a cross between Dirty Harry and Charles Bronson's character in Death Wish. My character's name is Clint Bronson because I'm imaginitive. I didn't even repair ED-E even though my skill was high enough because CB knows how to maintain his guns, but he don't know poo poo about robots. When I got to Boulder City I didn't even talk to the Kahns, I just blasted them. And when I got to New Vegas I blasted Benny and his four body guards right there on the casino floor. I wasn't even going to take the Chip because as far as I knew at that time it was just junk like the other five items, but then I figured I'd have to look at a headless corpse every time I went to gamble in the Tops if I didn't, so I took it. I blew off Mr. House completely. "Get a move on, the boss wants to see you." Clint was like, "Let's get one thing straight, robot. I don't have a boss." What's cool is I am poor as gently caress. I spent all my caps on a hunting shotgun and mods and actually HAD a reason to go work for Crimson Caravans. Then I plan on doing Honest Harts because I'm broke, but have shotgun will travel.

That song on the Mysterious Broadcast station, I know I've heard it somewhere before and it has been bugging me for days. I decided to finally cheat and look it up and come to find out it's an original created for the game. But then it finally hit where I had heard it before, well not that exact song obviously, but drat are portions of it similar and it conveys the same creepy feeling. I'm talking about the children's song in Samuel Fuller's The Naked Kiss, the scene where Constance Towers discovers her fiance is a pedophile. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXmDhRvxD0Q&feature=relmfu at 5:30. Was this the inspiration for that song?

Is this what I have to look forward to? Did you get the Ultimate Edition? Clear you system cache and let xbox live install a patch to your HD. I had crashes with the patch that gets installed from the Ultimate Edition disc. It may be the same patch, but it gets stored differently. The xbox live one gets installed like a piece of DLC, the one on the disc gets installed invisibly.

My best meeting with Malcolm was when I was tooling around with my kill everybody guy called Scum. He's got a green mohawk and is wearing the Courer's Stash raider outfit. "Almost took you for a raider I did." Quickly ended conversation and beat him with a pipe. I want to do a playthrough as Walter Brennan's chracter in Rio Bravo, Stumpy. Play the entire game with a crippled leg and use nothing but a shotgun and dynamite. Take cowboy, eye for an eye, hit the deck, and shotgun surgeon.

Orgophlax posted:Just picked up Ultimate Edition. Are there any neat tricks to min/max? Like in FO3 you put 9 points in intelligence, huff it to Rivet City immediately to get the INT bobble head to get 10, then you'd get max skill points right at the beginning. Another thing you can do, atleast it still works on consoles, is take Skilled at creation. Then when you leave the starter area, edit your character and uncheck and retake Skilled yet again. Then when you do OWB, you can re-edit your traits yet again and retake Skilled a third time. This gives you a +15 to all skills, since taking Skilled adds +5, but removing doesn't reduce them again. There's really no need to take any more than 4 Int, even if you are trying to max all skills. Comprehension and Educated can be taken with 4 int, and with the Skilled trick and 50 levels there's no need to go running around the map in a mad rush at level 1. Just play the game knowing full well you'll get 100 in all skills eventually. Don't put points into skills above 80 and let the skill books take care of the last 20.

Broken Box posted:Charisma is the weakest stat even on hardcore mode. If you're concerned enough in a fight about losing your companion you're probably popping drugs anyway, one party time mentat will negate a lot of wasted points. You're forgetting about perks. Ferocious Loyalty and Animal friend, mentats won't get you those. I don't use Animal Friend, because I hate turning a bunch of XP and meat sources into orange tickmarks, but Ferocious Loyalty has saved me from reloading so many times, especially when chucking dynamite and combined with the perks that lower collateral damage. OldMemes posted:The last two achievements I need are the ones for playing Caravan, the only problem being that I'm terrible at it, and I've never actually won a game in 100+ hours of gameplay. First of all, you have to search a vendors entire list for more cards. They aren't under a specific category and only appear in the master list, the one under their name that shows everything they are selling Here's my strategy. Only use 10's, 8's and Kings primarily. It's the quickest way to win. Until you have enough cards to not run out using just these three types, supplement with jacks. You want to add a 10, and 8, and a King on the 8 card to double it to 16, this gives you 26 really fast. You can use Kings to make your opponent's hand go over 26 too. If someone busts your caravan, just discard the track and you can get back to 26 quick again. If you're using Jacks you can use them to keep their Kings from bringing you over 26. There are only a couple of players who don't go down quick with this method, like the guy in Primm, but with most of them it's a quick win. Crazy Joe Wilson posted:Siding with Joshua but convincing him to spare Salt-Upon-Wounds I think is the best of all worlds ending for Honest Hearts. That final choice was the worse part of the entire DLC. I was down for murdering the White Legs because they slaughtered my caravan, so I was all about just killing everyone of those mofos, and when we get to the main mofo, the game pauses and he says "him go crazy" or some poo poo. It just seemed like a weak immersion breaking way to give you the slide ending choice. If anything Joshua should offered you to put the final bullet in his head and had it play out that way, then you can accept, tell him to do it, or say let him go. Either way,m why anyone would decide to spare Salt makes no sense. You let the commander of the tribe, the one most responsible for the genocide go, but kill all the others just following their leaders orders? Hey, does anyone know if it's possible to go to Three Mary's from the get go and join the White Legs, before talking to Follows Chalk or Joshua?

Crazy Joe Wilson posted:As you go through the Three Marys, the whole point was from it going from a battle with the White Legs to a total slaughter where the Sorrows and Dead Horses are just executing White Legs in the most brutal way (tied up, knocking them off cliffs, shooting corpses). You go from fighting a cornered enemy to just wanton slaughter, exactly what Daniel was afraid would happen. The first time I played through it, I felt a little physically sick seeing it unfold like that, and was relieved that by the end when you got to Salt-Upon-Wounds, you actually had a choice to say "This has gone too far, Joshua." It was a redemptive moment, not just for Joshua, but for you and the two tribes after a night of bad choices. I didn't see any of that. I must have been too busy looking through garbage or something. All I saw was white legs with Thompson SMG's getting their asses kicked by dudes with clubs and freddy kruger gloves. I'm doing Hard Luck Blues right now, and vault 34 was just what I needed. I hadn't seen much combat since the Legion chilled out on me (for now) and a dark scary place full of hard ghouls is just what I need. I'm regularly getting my rear end handed to me, which hasn't happened in forever. I regret not taking more than a hundred rounds of 12GA 4 buck magnum shot and telling Cass to wait outside. I also added a new rule to make things more challenging. Along with no vats, I also don't heal or go into inventory unless I am not in combat and there is no CAUTION while crouched. I hated the setup to this quest though. I'm okay with quest markers, but I like something to logically point me in that direction. Finding a terminal that tells me there is a radiation leak somewhere and my guy magically knowing it's to the east is kind of lazy. Quest could have used a water plant worker or a journal to tell you the army dumped waste that way. About Cass, I ended getting both of her Quest perks and I wasn't even trying to game the system at all. I simply took a job with the Van Graffs so I could move around there more freely and get evidence against them, but then they wanted to "talk" with Cass and they ended up learning why powder and lead beats lasers and photon torpedos. So I turned in the evidence with Jackson and I wasn't satisfied anything would actually get done, so we caught Alice working late and punched her ticket. I didn't even get any NCR infamy for it.

The Pitt was good, great atmosphere, and the first time I was actually challenged in over 100 hours of play (those naked scourge dudes hit me hard) and it gives you the best drat weapon in the game if want to play out of VATS and in 3rd person. Soon as I got that 7 beam laser rifle (forgot what it's called) the game played like a nice 3rd person arcade shooter. That gun is terrible in VATS though, for some reason the spread gets ridiculous.

I unchecked the boxes in Data Files but I still get them added to my inventory when I start, and I don't feel like being cheaty. That poo poo isn't really cheaty, but if you want to start "naked" then just sell it or dump it in a garbage can. I'd recommend keeping one of the armors if you like the look, again it's not cheating because you can get free armor in Goodsprings. edit: I also want to add that you should probably just dump the weapons because they don't count toward challenges, which give you bonus xp and perks.

Goddamn my novac freezer is full up of brahmin steaks and cactus fruits just waiting to become desert salads, which seem to be the best food item factoring weight, healing, hunger and hydration. And surgical tubing. Is there somewhere I can get a poo poo ton of these? And what's better (for next char): Small Frame + Adm. Skell + Toughguy or Intese Train Agi +1 + Toughguy? Considering it's the same amount of perk slots taken and losing a trait slot wouldn't matter, I'm wondering if one route leaves you with stronger limbs or not. edit: my bad, I thought small frame and Admantium Skell increased/decreased limb damage by the same amount.

And Ropekid, if you ever get to work on another Fallout game again, you have to put a record company or a copyright law firm in the game and have the terminals reveal that the reason there is no new music in the games is due to the fallout universe having spawned it's own version of the RIAA, which fearing for loss of capital due to easily copied and nearly indestructible Halotapes, launched a massive misinformation campaign followed by a series of aggressive lawsuits establishing that new music would only be recorded and sold on Fallout's RIAA approved Halotapes, which were intentionally designed to wear out. So 200 years later the world is stuck with nothing but old records.
