Ddraig posted:Yeah, it's nice of them. I'm a bit of a grognard so I'm playing through the first time completely blind and rolling with the punches and only reloading on a total party wipe, but it's nice they included that for future playthroughs. Same here. I've only stopped to check outside sources for additional information when it is clear I am missing something obvious and can't progress because of it. (Like the fact that if I want to travel further into ruined Highpool, I have to follow the barely visible road between the two burning cars.)

Turin Turambar posted:If you had the specific option of tell him to wait and don't leave, and somehow he disappeared, that sounds like a bug, not a "bad recruitment system". Maybe it's just a bug in the effect of that dialog. The bug seems to be related to something remarkably stupid. Chisel walks up to you and initiates a dialog. If, at any point, prior to this, you as the player clicked on HIM to start a dialog (as one would typically do when presented with an NPC with a picture and a dialog bubble over their head when you mouse over them) -- or if you click on him and then he starts talking, one conversation tree will interrupt the other. So say you want to let him into your party. You choose the affirmative option, go to remove someone to make room for him, and then the conversation tree suddenly closes before you can finish. This closes the current conversation tree, as well as the new conversation tree, and he leaves -- as if you had rejected his proposal. He doesn't go to the Ranger Citadel, he doesn't go back to his home (although the flavor text describing him as being home will still trigger if you go back there), and nothing short of reloading the game will bring him back. At this point, I'm digging around to see if anyone has posted a quick fix that will just let me trigger his spawner in the Ranger Citadel because I'm too far beyond that point in the game to justify replaying it all for a mediocre NPC companion.

I talked to him when I collected the reward for Ralph and Scotch. I can also verify that he does not spawn in the Museum. He simply ceased to exist.

Pwnstar posted:I like how its better not to give Quarex what he wants and to give it to the Rangers instead. I guess they figured he wouldn't be screwed over enough already by people murdering him for his prized possession. I figured that he would just commit suicide after the crushing disappointment that his quest item will undoubtedly bring him, and that I would be able to just go back and loot his stuff after that happened. Color me surprised when that did not occur. He must not have any media for it.

AxeManiac posted:Shotguns are horseshit. I always send Scotchmo off to the corner while the grown ups fight. The only two people I have shotguns on are my melee guy and my sniper. They are purely to serve as a backup if either character suddenly finds themselves swarmed by too many enemies and need to cheaply damage the lot of them before backing off. I'd never use one as a primary weapon.

I happened to have a book for a free level of brawl, too, so I got him to 10, and holy poo poo that kid is hilariously brutal. I gave him the Red Ryder and some explosives for when he can't get a punch in, but he's just blowing people up Hokuto no Ken style. The first thing that Ralphy did after I agreed to accept him into my party was to punch a wolf in the head and make it explode. I've been sold on him ever since.

Quarex posted:Uncharacteristic-from-me "This Game Is Great" Counterargument: I never would have imagined I might not have my collector's edition swag in time for Christmas Lots of post offices are starting to do a thing where you can rent a PO Box, and then provide a signature card for them to keep on file. Then you use their physical address with the PO Box as the unit number. Delivery goes through because the address is not a PO Box, office scans the card if it needs a signature, and then shoves it in a storage locker until you can come get it. Hell, my branch even e-mails me when something arrives so I don't need to waste a trip if the box is empty.

Xander77 posted:The Elder Scrolls style (which I prefer to think of as the Quest for Glory) style, when properly implemented, means you don't have to invest in preknowledge. Or you can just open up the file with your character records and change it if you realize you spent your points the 'wrong' way and don't want to reload/restart. You don't even need a fancy third party editor to do it. I had a lot of fun with this after the fact, just going back and exploring options I couldn't otherwise utilize because my skill-set didn't support them.

NESguerilla posted:I can't tell if this diplomacy thing with the achinsons and choppers is just trolling me at this point. It's tedious as hell running back and forth I think I might just kill all of them. This is easily the worst part of the game. On subsequent playthroughs I always left one guy near the entrance/exit of the zone so I could cut down on the travel time after each step, but even with that I found my patience worn thin. It just smacks of artificial padding after the fourth trip, and I was glad when people started to create mods to speed up the travel time. I only hope those mods get re-configured for use in the DC, soon. crashdome posted:My question was more directed at perception distance and who uses it and not so much on how to use it. I forgot about the circle thing so maybe turning that on will give me my answer visually. Yes. Once the 'perception guy' has the circle around him, anyone and anything outside of that circle remains invisible. If one of your characters strays outside the circle, he can hit landmines that have yet to be discovered (though he can just as easily hit landmines that have been discovered because there is no mechanic to force a pause when a discovery like that is made).

You'll find some interesting reading in her private office.

Pvt.Scott posted:So honey badgers apparently have anti-tank claws as they seems to have AP of at least 7. Almost lost Robocop. Who the gently caress thought 25+ raw damage per hit and insane armor penetration was a good idea? They certainly did a good job of making me fear those little bastards whenever I run across them. Having the 'Big Game Hunter' perk on the sniper and at least one Assault Rifle character helped, as well as the perk which made my explosives expert have a bigger AoE. I just bunch up the party a ways back, lure them into charging at me with my ranged shooters, and then hurl grenades into the pack until they close to melee range. After that, the attack speed for my brawler and my stabby-guy make short work of them. Anyone know which specific events trigger an always hostile Danforth in the Prison area? I paid off his man this time around so he'd leave that Ranger's sister alone, so I don't think that was the issue. I may have set him off by sending a robot on a suicide mission into his turrets, but I noticed a couple other things were off this run. Jim Auwerter was missing, and Brown's pigs were already dead. This leads me to believe I triggered a new flag somewhere.
