Hi goons, I'm currently re-installing the game, but I would like to know if Bethesda has fixed all the problems yet, before starting a new game. Most notable of problems were the "Crash on saving" which only happened late into the game, ensuring you couldn't complete it. If any one knows, I'd be grateful. PS: Maybe the OP needs a link/list of know quirks, problems, crashes and so on. I couldn't find one in there. Wolfsheim posted:It has! The only reason I even noticed was that, during Boone and I's assault on the Fort, he suddenly stopped shooting and I turned to see him bust out a chainsaw and resume killing. Boone and that Gladius blade. "Where you going you're a sniipeeerrrr!!..." Death by Cranes fucked around with this message at 22:47 on Oct 4, 2011 |

I'm gonna repost a question from a few pages back:quote:I'm currently re-installing the game, but I would like to know if Bethesda has fixed all the problems yet, before starting a new game. Hell, if any of you are having problems just write them here. There had probably come up some new stuff with all these patches.

Since we're talking about the messiness of NV (and FO3 for that matter) I really think that while the level designers and concept artist probably had a firm vision of the feel they wanted to give players, it just kinda backfired with too much clutter. Seriously: if you live in a loving desert, you'd want to keep the indoors clean as best you can. It's bad enough with all the sand flying around. The old isometric perspective and then level of graphics of FO 1&2 just seemed more in line with how society would keep its immediate living space. Even New Reno mostly had clean streets. On a completely unrelated note I just discovered the goddamned Fire Axe.

^^^^^^ Yeah, exactly. Have a look at this invisible ledge I came across. That just tells me the developers weren't particular interested in the quality of their work. Too bad. (The perspective is kinda bad, but I'm floating 10 meter or so out from the slope.)  Doug Lombardi posted:There absolutely have to be invisible walls in the Quarry to keep the Deathclaws from wandering out of it and killing low level players and it makes sense that the central mountain range is impassible since there are a bunch of passes through it and they want to funnel you through them. Ahhh come on, monsters tend to stay within their area. You don't see scorpions from hidden valley run around inside black mountain or coyotes hiking it to NCRCF. And funnelling players is good, but what if you want to sneak on top of the funnel and have the drop on anything down below. It's an RPG, not Doom3. There shouldn't be invisible walls at all. It utterly contradicts the purpose of having an open world. Death by Cranes fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Oct 7, 2011 |

rope kid posted:Most of the invisible walls constructed in F:NV were done out of concern about sight lines into various locations. Most of these concerns turned out to be exaggerated, unfortunately. You tend to encounter them much earlier/more easily in F:NV than F3 because Goodsprings is located so close to the edge of the world and a number of steep mountains overlooking Primm. But isn't that the beauty of the open world? Being able to climb up and behold the scenery, getting a glimpse of what you'll encounter later. That is actually precisely what happens the moment you kill the four bloat flies in Goodsprings Cemetery and in the distance you see New Vegas. And at night: in all its neon glory. I never once found an invisible wall where I could got an idea of purpose. Most times I just found a way around anyway. So if the intent was to have the player wait to discover locations, it seems kinda half-assed. Sorry to say so, but that how I perceived it. Edit: And about Goodsprings being close to the world border, I was always well-aware that I couldn't go beyond that. Doug Lombardi posted:Coyotes can't get into the NCRCF and Black Mountain because of their mighty fences. And the deathclaws are surrounded by huge lime stone blocks. There are two ways out, one being north of Sloan, which is already infested with deathclaws and the other being the back of the quarry which leads to a high level area anyway. So when the player uses either path he's either ready or about to load his game over. Death by Cranes fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Oct 7, 2011 |

Tewratomeh posted:I've fast-traveled to Vault 19 before and spotted a Deathclaw from the quarry waiting for me right outside. It was practically standing on top of the vault door, and the quarry is about 75 yards away. You know what's not between the quarry and Vault 19? An invisible wall. That whole area is high(er) level with cazadors, Vipers in combat armor and so on. The deathclaws live in the surrounding hills. You should be able to kill them. Otherwise you're just exploring too fast   The way I see it; we have the red area with giant mantis, Viper gang (w. Combat armor, plasma granades), deathclaws. Need .44 rounds - high damage. Orange area with deathclaws. Same deal as above. Purple area with fiends, ants and powder gangers. .357 magnum/Ratslayer and go for the head.

Okay, really stupid question, but here goes. I'm on my third playthrough and I figured I might try some other companions than Boone and E-DE. Thing is: I'm really nervous what will happen when I tell Boone to go hang around in Novac. Will he disappear? And if so; when? Now? In a month? At all? I guess my fear comes from Fallout 1&2 when there were so many bugs, you never knew what the hell was gonna happen if you told Ian or Marcus to stay put. So please goons, tell me how the companion system works. I trust only you.

Sheen Sheen posted:Regarding the BoS's philosophy about hording technology, which is the other thing that leads to lots of BoS-hate around here--the BoS hordes tech because they feel that the "unwashed masses" of the wasteland can't be trusted to wield something so dangerous. Sure, that seems like something an elitist prick would say. And what gives them the right to make such a decision? But isn't that why we vote for politicians today? Hoping they will impose regulations that will keep the uninformed masses from corrupting and slaughtering themselves? I have always seen the BoS as the best solution to the wastelands problems. Mutants, raiders, fanatics, A.I.s and whatnot we've seen throughout the PC series never had the vision to help any party than their own - a key factor making the BoS the best solution. Addendum: A lot of goons see the BoS' actions only in relation to the wanderer. They have had contact with other people before the first vault dweller. thrakkorzog posted:Even if you survive The Glow, if you go around the brotherhood base, you're still not really one of them, you're just an honorary Brotherhood member.

Caufman posted:The difference between elected officials and the Brotherhood is two-fold. Elected officials govern with the implied consent of their constituents, as opposed to the Brotherhood, which stake their claim on all pre-War technology without the consent of wastelanders. Second, the Brotherhood does not govern wastelanders for their own benefit. If anything, they're an isolationist faction (which is, as Veronica rightly points out, killing them from the inside), and you couldn't say that politicians isolate themselves from citizens since they need citizens to vote them into office. They have to at least ostensibly be improving the lives of voters, whereas the Brotherhood just has to be stronger than anyone who is holding technology they want or anyone who wants the technology they have. Maybe so (and very well put) - I still want to bring light to the fact they kill individuals who are very very bad for the wasteland's greater populace. I'm also fully aware of the different political situation between our western democracy and the wasteland law. I still find that the Brotherhood has proven themselves as saviours instead of fanatics. As for Veronicas insight, it can't be applied to the Brotherhood as a whole since she has never lived with others than that particular group.

I have a question on Dead Money (and DLC in generel, I bought all of them at christmas time, but haven't had the chance to begin before now): I've just left the villa and entered the casino finished the "Trigger ..." quest and levelled up to level 37. I know everything scales (enemy-wise), but for every skill check I feel horribly over powered. Guns, lockpicking, science, repair (and more probably) are at 100/100. I can't really see how the rest of DM or the other DLCs are going to be as challenging as I'd hoped for.. not to mention the rest of the vanilla game. Am I just pms'ing or what?

MegaGatts posted:I just got lonesome road and decided to replay the game. What did Obsidian do for the DLC? The voice acting is so much better than the main game it's not even funny. In NV proper, there're maybe a half dozen voice actors that are worth a drat, but in all the DLC the voice acting is amazing. It's really jarring to go from the majestic vocal deliveries of Honest Hearts back to the monotone wasteland. It was the same thing with Oblivion's DLC the Shimmering Isles. The bad/good guy Sheogorath was expertly voiced and after completion, you went back to the dreary old vanilla voice acting. Fag Boy Jim posted:Both OWB and LR get pretty murderous at high levels, but yeah, you're pretty much a god in the vanilla world now. One of the nice things the Rope Kid Mod does is really crank down the amount of quest EXP you get (it's ridiculous in the DLC, you can get like 3 levels before leaving The Sink for the first time in OWB) Ahh ok - thanks. Need to find that mod. This time around I made the mistake of taking the "Swift Learner" perk (twice!) which has rocketed my levels throughout the game. I hadn't even cleared out Vault 3 when I was level 33'ish. Question: should I just start the game over and do the DLC in order from level 15? And is hardcore fun? It sounds a bit fun..

This whole talk of using present day landmarks and/or cities in the Fallout universe is something that is getting a bit out of hand. The great thing about F1 and F2 was that you might have a big city from before the war, but it was re-birthed as a completely different thing. Adytum and San Francisco comes to mind. After F3 and NV San Fran would probably be inhabited by mutant gay people with pink guns. The first games were a lot more realistic in that sense and the newer are generally more gimmicky - even without Wild Wasteland.

*Stretches* Ok, I'm on the doorstep of Lonesome Road - which has been a long time coming. I played Dead Money when it came out, but never got around to the rest, so I'm doing all four now. Just finished OWB at level 42 and I feel I gotta get right to it. Ed-E and Boone can rot in the Lucky for all I care now. The DLC is just so good! Dead Money was in my opinion - as others said - just a great experience. The tension, the idea, the feel and the ghost people. Great DLC all in all. Honest Heart was just too short - good ideas, but rushed like it's going out of style. Old World Blues was on the other hand loving awesome! Even though the stealth suit is overpowered and the goddamned robo-scorpion should get the first bus out of town (to hell). But I must give my best regards to the dialogue writers; I haven't laughed like that since Fallout 2 or Baldur's Gate. Awesome conversation and a great twist at the end. So Lonesome Road up next - can't wait! But I do have a question after this: are any of you using the Sink as a base or is it too much of a hassle. I'm using Novac right now, because I never like the many transition screens going into the Lucky (38?). The Sink is just so damned well-equipped.

Police Automaton posted:In Fallout 1 the Brotherhood literally sends the player to his death just as a sort of joke. Yo, I've put up the Unofficial Fallout 2 Restoration Patch (as it's called) along with a high-res patch. You have to use the "Palette-stealer" application, to shut off 64-bit windows graphics to make it work. It too me forever to find the right combination, but go ahead and try it out. Otherwise just play in normal 800x600px size. Start with installing the resto-patch and make sure your game works. The patch fixes numerous bugs, like the disappearing High Way Man. It also adds a quest to save Sulik's sister, but I found it to be pretty boring (it features a bunch of fetch x of y quests, like WoW).
