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

[QUOTE=TestECull;44364651]Even for females and kids.[/QUOTE] That's terrifying.

[QUOTE=TestECull;44364651]That's actually a bug. Sometimes New Vegas will randomly decide to play the 'later' line recorded for Antony instead of whatever NPC is actually saying it. And sometimes, as is my usual experience, NV will do this about 80% of the time. Even for females and kids.[/QUOTE] What's happening is that the game is taking a line from the freeside dialogue quests that handle the voice lines for freeside residents and applies that to every NPC with a matching voice type regardless of wether or not they're in freeside, which happens to include that specific 'later' Unfortunately, all the male voice lines for freeside are supposed to come off as being under the influence and these will pop up with every male NPC using those specific voice types. It's jarring.

[QUOTE=Blooper Reel;44364580]That would be Talon Company. Although they do have lines for being mezzed and reacting to being collared. The voice is similar to the ones used for [url=http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Sibley]Sibley[/url] from Anchorage and the [url=http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Ramsey]slavers[/url] from The Pitt, so I'll probably combine them together. He also voices several younger male Fo3 NPCs such as Sticky and Butch along with Montgomery and most of the other anchorage soldiers.[/QUOTE] Not very similar, It's a totally smooth and collected voice that sounds borderline synthesized from the Brotherhood guys with helmets. Sibley and the Slavers are all punctual and uncollected and shit. [editline]26th March 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Archimedes;44364599]That reminds me of that one Brotherhood Scribe whose got a fairly normal voice, but will hiss "later" at you in a really sinister manner when you end convo. I'd assume it's just a reused line from one of the fiends due to some oversight but the disconnect between that and his normal voice is so weird.[/QUOTE] That fucking guy made me shit my pants when it first happened. He didn't even start attacking or anything, he just growls LATERRR at you and strolls away casually.

[QUOTE=Drsalvador;44364816]Not very similar, It's a totally smooth and collected voice that sounds borderline synthesized from the Brotherhood guys with helmets. Sibley and the Slavers are all punctual and uncollected and shit.[/QUOTE] You're thinking of the voice actor used for a majority of generic Brotherhood, Slaver and Rivet Security NPCs along with Paladin Gunny, Butcher and the Craterside Supply guard, then. That's a completely different voice actor.

Is level 17 too low to be doing Dead Money? I just started it thinking I was well into my twenties but I guess I haven't leveled up that much despite pretty much doing all that I can.

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;44365059]Is level 17 too low to be doing Dead Money? I just started it thinking I was well into my twenties but I guess I haven't leveled up that much despite pretty much doing all that I can.[/QUOTE] Dead Money scales a bit with your level, as with all expansion pack areas. Level 17 should be doable if you have put your points in the right skills. Just keep in mind that you cannot return to the Dead Money area once you are done there, so make sure that you don't miss or forget anything you wanted to keep. Also, the loot is not level dependent. Although I take it you know what to expect in there. On the other hand, going into Honest Hearts above Level 20 really pays off. Yes, the White Legs may pack some serious heat now, but that means that it is worth way more caps all the while. Plus, it makes rare stuff like Shishkebabs, Axes, Riot Shotties, 12.7mm SMGs and Anti-Matter Rifles easier to contain. Got enough stuff to arm everyone in the Mormon Fort several times over. Wonder how many caps that will bring up when I get to return to the Mojave.

It's my first time playing NV so I've mostly been doing speech and guns for my main skills. Haven't had too much trouble so far. This place is fucking creepy though.

I WON THE FUCKING LOTTERY! YEAH, SMELL THAT AIR! Bye.

The (almost) only thing stopping me from restarting Fallout New Vegas is not wanting rush through Dead Money to get my favourite armour (other than everyone's favourite, Elite Riot Gear), the Assassin Suit: [t]http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110825002119/fallout/images/6/6b/Assassin_suit.png[/t] While the Chinese Stealth Armour is also a sexy thing, it's been horribly nerfed from its glorious stats in FO3.

the problem with dead money is more that it isn't fun

[QUOTE=gk99;44365379]Cheat[/QUOTE] 360 user, sue me. Also I enjoy Dead Money, but I like to savour the DLC's stories. I love 'em.

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;44365605]360 user, sue me. Also I enjoy Dead Money, but I like to savour the DLC's stories. I love 'em.[/QUOTE] Spec into Energy Weapons, do the Missing Laser Pistol quest. Also, do the Legion's Arena, but glitch out by running backwards through the gate as soon as it starts. Now you have a laser pistol and a machete.

I always wait to tackle them at high level too. Also, I always play women so I have very few opportunities to fight in the arena.

I sort of stumbled on the old world blues start-up location and tried starting the DLC, but the amount of fucking dialogue right off the bat threw me off. The fact you HAVE to get through it and you HAVE to stare at an unmovable screen while it happens is fucking infuriating. Maybe it's just because I'm used to being able to look and move around in other games, but the entirety of the dialog in New Vegas is such a fucking chore, it drags on and on and you have nothing else to do but listen passively to it until it ends. Which is a shame because when you actually can listen to some dialog and move around they can be pretty funny, just as long as you're not forced to sit your ass down and stare at a still image for five minutes.

Are there any tools out there to help increase LOD for New Vegas without having to go through the .ini files? I've been increasing numbers in there but seem to have no affect in game.

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;44366222]Assaulting The Fort is a doddle.[/QUOTE] I wish attacking the Fort was more like kicking a wasp's nest, except it turns out that the small-looking nest you kicked was holding like ten whole nests' worth of wasps and now they're all coming out at you in an absolute furor. I mean come on, it's the fucking Legion base of operations for a regional assault, and I hardly had trouble clearing it.

I've also had it happen in reverse. I notice Blake, in particular, using Fallout 3 lines(I believe it's Flak's) when closing dialogue. But that's only a trader thing.

You can skip a line of dialogue by just clicking the mouse. I've reduced that opening conversation from 30+ minutes to about 80 seconds or so by clicking through it rapidly.[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;44366222]Assaulting The Fort is a doddle.[/QUOTE] Indeed. The only real challenge arises when you kick Caeser's tent flap down. 6 or 7 ballistic fists in the face tends to hurt and that opening salvo can often kill even the ballsiest of couriers. But that's what they invented disguises and C4 for. :v:[QUOTE=_Maverick_;44367922]i think that's more to do with the fact that you where invited . you got the easy route in. anyone else would have to fight through the legate's camp (pre dam invasion.) so add 50-ish more people then through the checkpoints up to the fort.[/QUOTE] Or they could hijack the barge at Cottonwood Cove. That place can be cleared out by [sp]merely unlatching the hinge on a truck door[/sp], which means even an uninvited person could in theory get in the back door relatively unseen. Of course there's an arbitrary lack of "Take raft to fort" before the mark is bestowed upon ye, but that's just gameplay being silly.

The hardest part of clearing out the fort is putting up with the constant screaming of "RETRIBUTION!"

My favorite way to clear Caesars tent is still to just use every drug in the game, grab a minigun and turn everything I see into a gib smoothie.

[QUOTE=Magmacow358;44368319]My favorite way to clear Caesars tent is still to just use every drug in the game, grab a minigun and turn everything I see into a gib smoothie.[/QUOTE] especially Benny. Or just turn him into jam the moment you see him in the tops. i like doing pacifist runs, i really do. but tops casino feels my wraith every time.

[QUOTE=Magmacow358;44368319]My favorite way to clear Caesars tent is still to just use every drug in the game, grab a minigun and turn everything I see into a gib smoothie.[/QUOTE] Same here, but with a rolling pin instead of a minigun.

It's amazing, I had a woman do it.

The only true way to do Caesars tent is to get a modded power fist and hulk smash everybody The minigun worked on the dogs but my bullets merely bounced off their chests of fucking steel so I had a big explosive fisticuffs match with them Remember kids, when you walk into a tent full of dudes, just fist them

My favourite Caesar kill was when I managed to sneak-kill the guard at the entrance to keep my weapons, and then I planted C4 around the tent. All that was left of Caesar was a leg.
