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

I wonder....using Tale of Two Wastelands and Project: Nevada's rail cannon, could you maybe oneshot the behemoth the instant it spawns? I'm rather curious if Reddin's kill script is connected to the behemoth spawning or the buses exploding.

Somebody should have told me getting this achievement was super easy and grant you shitload of caps.

That is without shooting everything that comes your way. Shooting feral ghouls gives you good karma? What else I'm supposed to do with them?

Give them hugs.

If I don't, or I miss and they attack, for some reason I net no karma.

I never understood why sneak-killing or one-shotting Ghouls gave you good karma.

There is a LOT of dialogue in Old World Blues. It's funny, sure, but fuck me when I first met the Think Tank I'm sat there for twenty minutes and every time I thought I was close to finishing the conversation and them sending me on my way, they started an entirely new topic. Worse even because I already knew it all anyway having completed it last year.

Skip it?

[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;41940576]I never understood why sneak-killing or one-shotting Ghouls gave you good karma.[/QUOTE] Engine limitations.

I just noticed a bug with the hunting shorgun. If you have two different ammo types on you, and you press the switch ammo button three times when ever you run out of ammo in the current magazine, it instantly fills the magazine with the ammo you were using before, without having to go through the loading animation.

[QUOTE=Marden;41941793]Skip it?[/QUOTE] You bet I did. Still took twenty minutes mashing the skip button. No kidding, this DLC has more dialogue than all of the others combined.

Old World Blues was my favorite DLC. Oddly enough, i had no problem with Mobius' Robo-scorpions. Unless in large numbers. My fire axe cut through them like a Heated Cosmic Knife through a Legionnaire's throat.

[QUOTE=M.Ciaster;41940641]Because you're putting them out of their misery, maybe? It's still kinda dumb.[/QUOTE] I think that's the logic, and yeah, it is a bit silly. I can understand good karma for blasting Motor Runner or Caesar, but ferals? They're just +Karma buckets if you've got a reasonably accurate rifle of some sort.

You get +1 karma for killing anyone who has Very Evil karma and +500 for killing anyone with Evil karma.

H&K chaingun, is what it looks like.

What a terrible looking gun. I'm going to reinstall New Vegas.

that's a terrible example of it but a lot more Fallout guns should have pointless and dumb gatling gun bits

Well I fucked up Honest Hearts. As soon as I arrived, I was fighting off friendly tribals and unknowingly killed the one friendly NPC who came to give you the quest. Seeing as how I'm playing the game trying not to re-load when I don't reach the desired outcome, I decided to role with it. This leaves me with only Lonely Road left to go. Oddly, when I failed Honest Hearts, the quest you get so you can actually leave Zion (Chaos in Zion), I could not find the map you need to leave Zion. I think one of my mods was the reason behind this, so I had to resort down to using the console to give myself the map.

I used VATS to check what he had, otherwise I would've done the same thing. HH had some really floundery moments in it. The worst part about that scene is that there were tons of White Legs on rocks beforehand, even one on that side of the bridge as I recall. So unless you knew what to look for, he's just another tribal on a rock. And since one of those fuckers had an [i]anti-material rifle[/i] when I took him down, I wasn't taking chances.

I actually shot Chalk but didn't kill him when I played HH and I was about to finish him off when I noticed that he wasn't a red bar on my HUD and I was like "oh shit I hope I didn't fuck things up". I gave him a few stimpacks afterwards to make up for everything. I actually kind of liked having him as a companion...

I don't even know which mod they came from.

HH had some good writing, and I liked a lot of the characters. But it just didn't really hold up all the way through for me. It was incredible short, and the exploration was only marginally rewarding minus the ranger's story. [QUOTE=mikester112;41948651]This one time I went into HH expecting things to be easy only to be greeted by 3 white legs with rocket launchers.

Depending on your level, some of them can carry some [i]really[/i] nasty weapons.

i finished honest hearts and didnt really think too much of it... altthough they have some nice weapons (ie. .50 cal, grenade launcher, various lasers and thompsons) they cant use them for shit it just wasnt that hard either... i used my trusty modded pump action shotgun to kill the "yao guai on fire"... errm... i'm on OWB and i used the .50 cal to kill the big bloatfly... still no big deal i do find the lobotomites to be a pain

Seriously? The lobotomites give you problems, but the legendary bloatfly didn't? I can oneshot them with the Q-35. They were basically free XP for me.

I liked Honest Hearts far more than Sierra Madre. If the story had been longer it would have been even better. I feel like they could've done more with the whole 'Burned Man' deal. As for the burning yao guai, I used a Stealth Boy and laid a ring of plasma mines around it, then finished it off with my grenade rifle. That was after I had died about four times trying to fight it conventionally

I haven't yet done them on the current wasteland badass I'm playing right now, but previous ones that used This Machine as a primary weapon had to magdump into their face to kill each one. Yet, with the same rifle, one-shotting a Deathclaw was possible if AP ammo and a sneak crit headshot occurred. It was bizarre to say the least. Perhaps the Auto-Gauss will do better this time. I'm not entirely sure. I hope it does.
