If you killed her (why the FUCK did you kill you? lol) you can get the thrust controllers from a box somewhere inside her room I believe. Again, why the FUCK did you kill an innocent old lady? :lol

Spoiler

I didn't like the way she looked at me. So I made her body do two flips in the air after she got a taste of the sawed off shotty! I don't think it's in her house either..I've searched everywhere! I believe I am screwed. If that was the case though...wouldn't it have popped up with quest failed once I killed her?

edit: nvm got it!

Been playing this game for about 10 hours so far, and it's awesome. They seem to have fixed almost all gripes I had with Fallout 3, and more.

I hope this game do really well and that Obsidian get to make all Fallouts for Bethesda in the future. Bethesda can work with Elder Scrolls instead; perhaps then we'll actually get ESV as well.

I think the game still looks good, the animation is an immersion killer though.

Love everything else about it.

Well, the engine is pretty damn shitty, and I think that's what's holding them back when it comes to the animations. I refuse to believe that they have such horrendous animators working on game after game at Bethesda; it has to be shitty tools.

We all knew that they wouldn't be able to do anything about that since they didn't have the time for any changes to the engine; though I wonder if Obsidian are all that great when it comes to animations anyway. Hopefully the next ES, or Fallout, whichever comes out first, uses id Tech 5 instead. It can't get any worse than Gamebryo at least.

The main platform was "Fallout 3" and that's why there are inventory and resolution issues.

At least on the PC, you can click on the arrows in any menu that brings up your inventory to show items in specific categories.

Dumb, likely obvious question: where can I find ED-E again? I know I've seen him before early on but I can't place where, exactly, and I have many dots on my world map now.

 

[daoster]

she can wear power armour. go grab one from the corpses from the quest and give it to here. She's my powerhouse.

Wait, you can equip your companion armor and weapons??? How? Simply put weapons in their inventory or something?

You can find him in

Primm, in Nash's shop/house.

Yeah, just put it in their inventory, if its better than what they have they'll wear it.

Ah yes, duh.

Think my Science was too low to do anything first time I saw him.

Yeah, just put it in their inventory, if its better than what they have they'll wear it.

If you have the PC version there's also a mod that allows you to manually equip and de-equip them (using an inventory screen I believe). I don't use it though. They're generally smart about wearing better armor automatically, and as far as weapons, I like how that stuff is a lot more individualized now, i.e. Boone is a sniper and hences loves sniper rifles.

 

[dreamer3kx]

I dont know about Boone, he just mows everything down, can I shoot dudes too, fu**

Is there anyway to fix the mouse control in the PC version? in menus it is jumping around like crazy

 

[Confidence Man]

I see some help myself with a Vicky and Vance quest...

Spoiler

So I finally got enough Science to tell the robot he was hacked. Now I have some info about where the gun might have been taken... I've checked out all of Westside but there aren't anymore leads I can find. Any tips?

You mean

Spoiler

Vance's submachine gun? Look in a shack northwest of the strip along the road, can't remember where exactly.

 

[Zeliard]

Yeah Boone kinda makes stuff easy.

It's still smart for my char to have him around because my guy is a big nerd. My dominant skills are things like Speech and Survival. My Guns skill is still at 10 and will probably stay there for the entire game (hasn't been a huge obstacle so far). So it makes a lot of logical sense in the world that my character would be traveling around with a hardcore soldier-type like Boone.

Probably the thing that impresses me the most from a mechanical standpoint in this game is the non-VATS shooting. It's still not ideal but so much fucking better than FO3. The tactile feedback is immeasurably greater now - some of the real-time shooting stuff still looks strangely non-responsive at times because it's still governed by stats, but the actual kill animations are much nicer, i.e. blowing someone the hell away with a meaty shotgun blast.

I've had quite a few holy shit moments when it comes to stuff like that, some of it out of surprise that it's actually coming out of this engine.

Weapon mod's management is fucked. I repaired my 10mm and Varment rifle to other more sturdy ones and the mods completely disappeared. So uncool.

 

[Revolutionary]

Stll have no luck resurrecting ED-E from the hereafter.
I even got my hands on it's ID (pid 1732cf) so I could use console commands to bring it back, but for some reason it keeps making 2 instead of one (and I'm unsure how to delete the extra one). I guess I could technically play with 2 ED-E's but I'd rather not. Fucking buggy shit...

 

[Zeliard]

Did you repair them with the non-modded weapons as the base?

 

[Max]

Did you repair them with the non-modded weapons as the base?

Yea, I had no idea they were permanent and I thought that they might transfer, makes no sense that they wouldn't.

 

[Zeliard]

Yeah, I was just guessing. I haven't messed with the weapon modding yet, but I just figured that's what might have happened. Unfortunate.

 

[Jerk]

Veronica is funnier and has boobs. And yeah, I ditched Boone because he was making the game boring by killing everything. :lol

Which difficulty are y'all on?

disable mouse acceleration

falloutprefs.ini (documents/my games/)
fForegroundMouseAccelBase=0
fForegroundMouseAccelTop=0
fForegroundMouseBase=0

 

[squicken]

What has the most impact on performance as far as setting goes? My framerate is awful, but I'm running at what it recommended I run at.

 

[Knuckleruckamus]

Definitely, thats an issue.

On a side note, I'm hoping for some first ever music DLC.

Glad to see it's not just me -- just spent a few hours in Cool Edit amplifying the soundtrack so it's bearable in-game. Good ol' PC version...

 

[epmode]

disable mouse acceleration

falloutprefs.ini (documents/my games/)
fForegroundMouseAccelBase=0
fForegroundMouseAccelTop=0

Falloutprefs.ini doesn't handle mouse acceleration anymore. Go to the Steam game folder and put the same lines into fallout_default.ini

[ruxtpin]

Did someone start a blog/topic about Fallout related short-stories? I'm not nearly as far as some other in this game, but shit's hilarious in story form.

 

[Justin]

So I got a "Quest Failed" popup after killing a named guy in the prison and the wolf head guy in another town. Are these quests I would only get if I wanted to be aligned with their faction or am I missing the start of a quest somewhere?

these 3 woman run up to me with rolling pins (housewife look) after I leave the cel robotics place, say they found you and start to attack you with there rolling pins, Boone just one shot all of them

thanks

I wonder if they thought it was ok to ship it like this or it is just an isolated problem

I'm playing Hard/Hardcore.

-Knocked their head clean off with a cleaver.
-The ragdoll kicked in and everything but she was still sitting at the bar...just y'know...headless. I wish I grabbed a screenshot.

I noticed on here it says may crash with 2 monitors. Can anyone tell me if this means spreading the game across 2 monitors or just having 2 period? Id like to DL this but im afraid itll just start crashing since i use 2

 

[ashbash159]

Looked back at the past 10 or so pages of this thread and couldn't find an answer to my problem which is:

• ATI Radeon HD 5770
  Windows 7 64-bit
  Intel Core 2 Quad

I've just got to the strip and I think it's because of the amount of people that my frame rate goes down a lot! I noticed before the strip when I was playing and there were more than usual amount of people it slowed a little but with this it slows from what seems like 50 or 60 fps to 10 to 20.

Need a fix.

 

[BeEatNU]

Ugh, is my game glitched?

Spoiler

I'm trying to start "Oh My Papa" but when I talk to the Regis, the quest doesn't pop up and I don't get an option to start it or convince them to fight with the NCR.

just reload your save

I have 2 monitors myself and haven't really had any problems. I don't think it's possible (other than with Eyefinity) to spread the picture across both of them. I've only had two crashes, and they were just completely random, other than that it's been running well. I have been using that .dll that's out there.

Thank you. Didn't know that was to fix frame rate.

Just started the game, what the fuck am I meant to do when my newb of a character comes up against 5 or 6 giant scorpions?

And can you really not run in this game? I cant figure out how to?

Only way to run is to holster your (2 handed) weapon and just hoof it until you can fast travel again.

You're meant not to engage that many scorpions at once early on. Either that or go to Novac first and pick up Boone.

Are you trying to head north?

 

[jamieson87]

Yeah, just headed past the graveyard, I guess I can go the other way.

 

[Zeliard]

Yeah, just headed past the graveyard, I guess I can go the other way.

If you're trying to go to Novac you have to go by way of Primm, I believe. If you try to go east from Goodsprings I think you hit a wall of mountains.

 

[Snuggles]

I think every faction hates me now. It's cool that you actually have to make an effort to get on their good side, but it seems my 'me against the world' approach wasn't the best idea. I helped out the Super Mutants, hopefully that's worth something.

I tried killing one with Stealth Boy on, but...no good, everybody sees me and start trying to kill me :lol

 

[Max]

I'm having really bad OCD with this game, I have too many quests in my log that I just can't complete due to stat deficiencies and its really bothering me that I won't be able to complete every quest. And its so hard to keep track of who I missed due to not having enough stat points in one area. I just feel like I want to do EVERYTHING in the game but I know I can't :lol

Game's so fucking MASSIVE. I guess i'll just continue to go with the flow and leave everything else to a second playthrough + awesome mods + none of this wild wasteland that isn't apparent at all other than the annoying music. (barely played FO1/2 leave me alone)
