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.

Y'know, I'm still a little confused by Doc Mitchell's thought process in the beginning of the game.

Considering they portray the divide to be so rough when it comes to the weather conditions that staying in the open for a time strips the flesh from exposed skin you'd think he'd be smart enough to sew on some sleeves wouldn't you?

I need some help finishing up the main campaign of the story

My character's skill distribution is mostly in science/speech/repair (all 80 or a little higher) with some sneak/lockpick/guns too (each about 60.) I'm doing the No Gods, No Masters option, and it seems to be impossible to beat the last boss. I can sneak up to him just fine, but I don't have any weapon that can put a dent in him. All I have is shotguns and That Gun, but I'm all out of AP ammo. I've snuck around the compound and I can see a big gate with an army of robots on the other side, but I can't get to them, I'm assuming they are part of the ending. Is there any way to get some of my robots to help me out with this last bit? Do I have to load an earlier save and stock up on better weapons/ammo?

TL:DR Legion hates me and I'm too weak to beat the boss by myself. What are my options?

Wolfsheim posted:

If I remember it right, House even offers to share his immortality with you, so if you want, you even get the option of becoming a capsule mummy that has sex with robots after your long, luxurious life.

wait, upgrade? I have the mods for it, but what upgrade?

Really? I'm not sure it's easy to do Dead Money with a sneaky sniper. I had a hundred in stealth when I did Dead Money, but the narrow corridors made it hard to remain undetected or snipe from a distance. Also I didn't have my favorite silenced sniper rifle, too.

Wolfsheim posted:

That, and the company that finished the holograms and gave them combat abilities that is only referred to via initials are the two Dead Money mysteries that seem to be unsolved. Maybe it was intended that way or maybe Avellone was sick of writing samey ghoul origin stories, I dunno.

The reason House didn't do anything sooner is because his operating System wasn't working properly - it only works at full power with the platinum chip. He does say that putting a man in space is about 100 years off, and that he plans to rebulid the tourism and manufacturing industry first.

OldMemes posted:

That said, Ulysses's plan is pretty flawed and morally repunant too - wipe out several cultures and societies, killing loads of people, just because you don't want to subscribe to the existing ideologies? Was the divide really that special, so much so that he couldn't find a new bunch of like minded people to form a faction with?

Dean and the Courier being friends is the best.

On the subject of OWB, is there any legitimate way to get hold of a second cyberdog gun? I know the default gun with its mods is better than the workbench-upgraded version and therefore wish to keep it, but I'm curious about the alternative and the idea of having a .44 magnum minigun appeals to me.

First time playing a Pro-NCR character and I gotta say... it is nigh on unplayable. Every single time I leave protected areas I get poo poo all over by Legionary Assassins, which spawn in roughly once every 20 minutes or so, all with their glitched Level 30 gear when I am a mere 15. This is on the latest version of the 360. Step five foot out of Primm, you betta watch out 'cause the boogeymen are about.

There are only so many times I can get killed in 10 seconds or less before resorting to using C4 to soften the pack and make my chances up to maybe winning. The first time I used strategy to kill these assassins felt great, I got them all into a chokepoint, had the area strapped to the hilt then flipped the switch. Twenty times later, beyond pure luck that is STILL my only way out of encountering them. It isn't even a winning strategy because usually the C4 blows one or two of the assassins to the moon, so I can't even loot and recoup my forced losses. I am using the best possible weaponry that is available to me at this point in the game, as is Boone.

It is actually saddening, because I decided I really liked this run, I was just about to go to Bitter Springs with Boone too before I just gave up...

Between that and the suddenly frequent freezing it is actually getting infuriating. I don't ragequit games, it is totally against my personality, but this is really ticking me off. I feel forced out of a gameplay angle that I don't normally play and have realised is just as enjoyable as my usual shitheel character archetype.

OldMemes posted:

I'm going through 3 after playing New Vegas. and it's a bit of a slog. Sure, it's a great game, but New Vegas just did everything...better. I guess Threedog is slightly more fun to listen to than Mr. New Vegas, but aside from that....?

Kharmakazy posted:

Seriously? Demanding they let me go home is sufficient grounds for them to try and murder me? gently caress these people, at least the white legs are honest about it. I'll put your loving scripture in the toilet and piss on it you hypocrite.

Arbitrary Coin posted:

I mean the latter one's a better concept since it doesn't make the Legion as supervillainy, because their sexism has some sort purpose and function instead of just being there to show how the legion is. But there is definitely something about how methodical or clinical (can't think of a good word here) that about it that disturbs me more than the former

Atheris posted:

Also, due to how the game engine handles Ulysses' custom face and hair, his face couldn't be animated. So no lip syncing and no blinking. The breathing mask is to hide the more noticeable issue.

Man, why wasn't Area 51 in this game? Other than Las Vegas it's like the only notable thing about Nevada.

But for roleplaying reasons, I always do Honest Hearts right after confronting Benny, because after fighting it out in a casino (well, assuming you don't just bang your way through it) it makes roleplaying sense to leave town for awhile until the heat dies down..

Speedball posted:

Dead Money was fiendish. How it's set up could have functioned as an entire standalone video game, almost. You have a dead city to scavenge, full of angry ghosts irradiated monsters and environmental hazards, your teammates are only barely trustworthy and yet each has an ability that makes them useful.

Are you confusing Dead Money with Honest Hearts?

And I don't know where you found so many fission batteries. I found a grand total of about 3, which made the recipe that Christine gave me pretty pointless.

In conclusion, Betsheda should consider hiring some competent writers. I've heard that's a thing you can actually do when generations of critics have called out your games for their insipid writing.

I usually kill them as soon they take me to Pearl and I've healed all the limbs they crippled. Once in a while I'll play through their quests just for the experience and then kill them. They're rotten little animals.

Against Ulysses, you finally meet the flag-draped madman who's been spouting at you the past six hours. He launches into another 87 page diatribe, which you tune out as usual. Then, you run madly around the room trying to figure out how to turn off the plot device that makes him unkillable.

DeathChicken posted:

How do you even escape with the gold bars anyway? Like, the escape sequence from the vault is on a tight enough timer that it's hard enough to do as is, let alone carrying a bunch of heavy crap.

Speedball posted:

Bah. Exploits don't seem right in that situation. You're totally breaking the classic metaphor that gold is valuable but just weighs you down when you let it take over your life.

Simsmagic posted:

The dialogue for talking to Veronica about Elijah was in the base game all along, is the thing. It was camouflaged to look like a cut quest.

This really is my preferred approach. Well I take one as a memento and one to drop in Doc Mitchell's house as a thank-you present that he can never use because he is a fictional computer man. But still, I feel like I'm the only person who took the LET GO thing to heart and didn't loving bother with cheesing out all of the loving gold bars (you're wealthy as poo poo no matter what you do with it by the time the DLC is over anyway)

There used to be a bug where you could teach the deaconus in cottonwood cove the trick to using frag mines over and over again. This plus stealth killing some NCR guys to keep your reputation intact while getting their sweet sweet dogtags.

Im pretty sure its fixed in several mods but in vanilla its unpatched

Joke's on him, I'm fairly sure I remember some dialogue from OWB that suggested the Courier's fake replacement organs mean living for a long-rear end time.

Wolfsheim posted:

I like that there are, like, four references total to Fallout 3 in New Vegas, and one of them is in a cut ending. I'm gonna guess the dev team weren't the biggest fans.
