Fallout Series Thread V14: When i entered this thread i was hoping there would be more gambling - Games

I never used radio in 3 because it was always glitched out like it was out of range or some shit, don't know if that was an intended effect

[QUOTE=Derposaurus;40542389]I never used radio in 3 because it was always glitched out like it was out of range or some shit, don't know if that was an intended effect[/QUOTE] If you mean the static white noise effect, that happens in the background of the radio prior to the player beefing up the broadcast by visiting GNR in D.C. After you meet Three-Dog, the quality is boosted and there isn't static. If there was some other issue then yeah, your game was bugged.

[QUOTE=cs_bunny;40539120]I loved how Mr. New Vegas was voiced by Wayne Newton. I didn't even notice it until reading it on the wiki. Same with Matthew Perry voicing Benny.[/QUOTE] that explains why i wanted to kill him the minute i saw him

[QUOTE=Loriborn;40542656]After you meet Three-Dog, the quality is boosted and there isn't static.[/QUOTE] Well you have to complete the Galaxy News Radio quest that he gives you, but it's really just a fetch quest, so...

It still was like that even after the fetch quest

Guys. Guys. It was a Bethesda RPG. The entire game was a fetchquest.

[QUOTE=certified;40542854]Guys. Guys. It was a Bethesda RPG. The entire game was a fetchquest.[/QUOTE] That is entirely untrue! There were several hunt quests as well :v:

Nothing has prepared me for this on lower levels [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DucxNDG.jpg[/IMG]

... I don't think I've ever seen a Nightstalker and I've played over 130 hours of New Vegas.

Nightstalkers are a bitch to kill if you use increased wasteland spawns and don't have explosives prepared. They'll swarm you in packs of 10 sometimes.

And that's why I love the Animal Friend perk.

My most recent character is level 3 and just got spawned by about 15 nightstalkers and a pack of glowing ones/Ghoul reapers just north of Caesar's safehouse... :( Needless to say, a 9mm with 20 rounds and a varmint rifle was [I]not[/I] enough to save my scrawny, irradiated ass....

[QUOTE=Derposaurus;40542831]It still was like that even after the fetch quest[/QUOTE] If it's stuttering, then it's a bug. There are a couple of fixes out there, or you can just download a patch if you're too lazy for that, like me. Just google "Fallout 3 radio stutter".

Why? Head south towards Mojave Checkpoint, turn left and pass through Nipton. At Nipton, turn right and go around the bandit ambush and climb the hill. Find Safehouse... Is that really that unbelievable?

Then again, I'm the stereotypical leave-no-stone-unturned RPG player.

Has [url=http://www.taleoftwowastelands.com/content/faq]Tale of Two Wastelands[/url] been mentioned yet? Finished my second NV playthrough the other day and was thinking of how awesome it would be to get some of its systems and items into F3, found this. Sounds pretty promising.

[QUOTE=cs_bunny;40546270]And that's why I love the Animal Friend perk.[/QUOTE] this made doing old world blues so increadibly easy, speacially the part where you have to go into the nightstalker lair

Does anyone know how to make proper companions in the geck?

[QUOTE=milkandcooki;40528003]started to play FO3 again through TTW after ~2 years. dunno if this is because i'm older and smarter, or because somebody secretly patched my game to be terrible, but what the fuck. can somebody explain these plot holes for me or something? 1. why does the water purification machine have a button to emit deadly radiation 2. why is there no plant life 3. why do all of these cars explode, and why do they emit radiation after doing so 4. why does moira brown feel the need to write a wasteland survival guide? the war ended 200 years ago, people have been alive long enough to deal with it 5. why does the brotherhood of steel willingly help out random chucklefucks they don't need to care about? they're supposed to be xenophobic shitlords (eg. opening custscene in FO1) 6. why did colonel autumn give up his life to stop the player from trying to turn on the machine that he was also turning on 7. why does everybody in the capital wasteland unanimously agree that you're a fucking asshole if you make your RADIATION IMMUNE companion press a button for you? fawkes is immune to radiation (eg. getting the GECK), and refuses, saying that "it's your destiny" and charon doesn't go despite him being HEALED by radiation 8. why does it never rain 9. why do people trust you so much and why is everyone so nice 10. where are the parents that give birth to the children at little lamplight 11. why is the geck being used for a dumb water purification machine that likely won't benefit everyone in the capital wasteland. the geck could be used to improve the quality of life for everyone in LITERALLY ANY OTHER WAY. 12. why did colonel autumn torture the main character for some dumb fucking code that the player has no reason NOT to give him, considering he has the exact same goal, and why did he not want us to fix the machine he wanted fixed. 13. why are all of the houses and towns people live in so fucking dirty? did people lose the knowledge of cleaning, carpentry, not being a goddamn slob, and logic after the war? 14. how come the only dead people exist died 200 years ago and are identical dismembered burnt skeleton corpses, or people that died 5 minutes ago? 15. why did people build an entire town around a fucking atom bomb? did the apocalypse suddenly make logic nonexistent? 16. what do they eat? none of the major cities or towns in the game have a sustainable food system. megaton doesn't have any farms, so how the hell do they eat? they clearly don't get food from the supermarket, because there's no way a single supermarket (which is a raider hideout) can sustain and entire town for decades. they also don't use brahmin for food, because they use them to trade. even if they did decide to eat them, they don't have any fields for them to graze. actually, come to think of it, no semi-sentient character in the entirety of the nonsensical capital wasteland has sustainable nourishment. what do the super mutants eat? humans, right, but after 200 goddamn years people would have learned to stray away from the DC area unless they're geared up, so the mutants wouldn't have enough to eat, not to mention the 20 feet tall behemoths that probably need at least 4 humans a day to sustain themselves. cannibalism isn't an option, because the super mutants would die of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.[/QUOTE] That is fucking gold

Then again, I'm the stereotypical leave-no-stone-unturned RPG player.[/QUOTE] I usually find myself cleaning the Silver Rush out of supplies by level four. 'Course I do have XRE - Cars installed, so I merely need enough caps to liberate Chet of his old truck keys and I can trundle right past quarry junction flipping the Deathclaw off without a care in the world :v: Speaking of CARS!, Ermeso upped five more screenshots, mostly showing the dealer off. I think I've figured out where it is. My best estimates put it somewhere either slightly east or slightly west of Mojave Drive In, south of Nipton. The dealership is looking pretty sweet, too.

[QUOTE=TestECull;40554778]I can trundle right past quarry junction flipping the Deathclaw off without a care in the world :v:[/QUOTE] You know how No-Bark is bitching about Chupacabra having a minigun? Prepare yourself.

[QUOTE=certified;40554794]You know how No-Bark is bitching about Chupacabra having a minigun? Prepare yourself.[/QUOTE] No-Bark stopped ranting and raving after an 'accidental' encounter with my front bumper about fifteen levels or so ago. Hehehe. In all seriousness the deathclaw outside Quarry Junction are too stupid to figure out that the clattery old shitheap trundling along I15 happens to contain a very squishy Courier. They spread their arms out and start searching for a target but they never find it, ignoring the truck containing it entirely. I suppose if I just parked somewhere they'd figure it out sooner or later, but if I keep moving they never catch on.

Now, I just start new characters merely to see what different strategies play in the game, and just high-tail it to NV to get cash to buy shit.
