No, I don't think so. Hard to say because I don't think it could come up for me. What level are you?

Oh, is there an actual award for hardcore other than the achievement? People seem to say they've come up empty.

I was about to ask this

I don't really want to stick with Hardcore mode. I was expecting something like STALKER-lite, but It feels like it might just become a chore in Fallout. I think part of it is how messy the interface is.

I'm so tired of having to babysit my idiotic companions though.

It's like weighing the benefits of having mules vs the fact that they'll die if they get stuck on some piece of geometry and then respawn on top of a bunch of baddies.

I like that it makes the more powerful weapons less game breaking because of the ammo weight, but that's really about it.

Water is trivial because you find a fresh water source right at the beginning of the game.

 

[Snapshot King]

Just a quick question, I know all the companions have side-quests, but once I actually got Boone, well, he doesn't say much. Was his quest the one to get him? Or do I have to keep chillin with him.

Also, he randomly spawned with a unique assault rifle going into a room that kicked some serious ass. I took it off him to look at it and he wouldn't re-equip. =(

 

[Big-E]

So is there anyway to fix the ED-E glitch where you can't start the ED-E My Love Quest. Really fucking annoying.

There's no chance whatsoever you are near anything endgame related. Keep on keepin' on.

Missed FO3 while playing NV so I popped in my disk for FO3 and played a few hours of that tonight.

So for Hard Luck Blues, the option at the end. Is there any point to doing the

Does anyone know where the key is to the Abandoned Store in Freeside?

The "ruined store" or whatever? It's part of a quest for The King.

at Helios One how the heck do I complete the quest? I activated the generator had it route power to all of the wasteland go back and talk to the scientists and yet they seem to know nothing about it happening?

Did you just set the grid parameters or did you actually re-align the panels? Go upstairs from the mainframe and outside and flip the switch so that the panels can actually generate power.

Spoiler

Yeah, that one. Unless you activate that switch the panels are all pointed wrong because of that fucktard so they're basically useless. You did use both computers on either side of the tower entrance (the ones guarded by all the traps and guard dogs and stuff) and connected them to the mainframe?

 

[Ledsen]

That's not the "right" fix anymore. Read through the thread or go here: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34778

I've read through this whole thread. The .dll thing was the first thing I did when I got the game, it doesn't do anything for the stutter. I also have water multisampling on low, and of course tried the ifpsclamp thing. It's basically unfixable unless you can run the game at a constant 60 fps. I'd say my "rant" was entirely justifiable.

Incendiary round for the grenade rifle=<3.

Pack of four legionaries? No problem. Incendiary round followed by a regular .40mm round to the face. Too bad 'nade rounds are so rare.

[BeeDog]

Does anyone else get some kind of strange graphical anomalies? While exploring, some kind of white specks or flashes show up randomly. I'm sure it's not artefacting, but anyway... I have a GTX 460 and the latest official drivers.

 

[putarorex]

Is the pawn shop in Westside critical for any major quests? I get no prompt to open a door when I am in front of the door. I tried several saves and had no luck. I am playing on the PS3.

Ya though I went and found an NCR Camp and the quest somehow updated. Really confused now.

The quest updates after ED-E hears certain keywords from NPCs. There's no specific order, and sometimes it doesn't really activate in the same order for everyone. It's an old and damaged eyebot after all!

They really shouldn't have teased it so much then.

Also, I guess it makes sense that you can't

go into the strip after you kill Mr. House

but jeez, a little warning or explanation would be nice.

Oh yeah, on 360 the memory leak/whatever glitch gets worse the further in you are it seems. I've had to reboot my 360 every couple of hours now in order to make the loading times not take ages.

 

[Gravijah]

This game is amazing. That's really all I can say. Though the frame rate is so bad in New Vegas on the PS3, I think Amir0x would probably cry.

I´m at the Repconn Facility now.

Spoiler

I just been approached by the ghoul leader who wants me to "get rid of the demons", which I assume means killing supermutants. My character though, is just not that kind guy. He´s more the talking/stealing guy. Is there anyway to solve his missions without "clearing out a dungeon"?

Spoiler

If you can somehow avoid the mutants along the way, you can sneak to Davidson, the leader of the mutants, to work out a deal... but as a non-combat focused character, it'd be far easier to just grab Boone and let him do his thing.

 

[Wallach]

Anyone figured out a way to get transparency multisampling to work when using the dll spoof? I was previously just using adaptive MSAA to cover for it (though it doesn't work on the shitty grass they use for this engine) but stuff seems to go transparent if you use adaptive MSAA through CCC. In particular doors seem to be going transparent which is mega annoying when indoors. Standard MSAA doesn't cause it but then you get some ugliness from not being able to turn on transparency multisampling.

Not a big deal in the end but I'd like to get it working somehow. Any ideas?

Yes. Combat in that part is unnecessary and generally a waste of time and/or ammo.

Well, I have a companion how can take care of it. So I can get through it I guess. But I would had hoped that there were possibilities to avoid "dungeon crawling" that I get assigned to by others just to get some information from a character.

 

[Wallach]

So, how did you solve it?

Spoiler

Go in the basement. If you have a companion with you, tell them to wait by the door so they don't accidentally draw you into combat. I used a Stealth Boy at this point but I don't think it's necessary. You should see a non-hostile signal on your compass by the time you reach the other side of the first room. Reach that non-hostile and go from there, I think you'll figure it out pretty fast.

 

[Jerk]

Yay, I am finally out of the the beginner town!!!

 

[Shinjitsu]

Yep, after putting in 16 hours in the 2 days since i got the game, I can 100% say I like it better than Fallout 3. People saying this feels like a actual Fallout game were spot on.

 

[Finalow]

Yeah, the story is better, characters, factions... its better >.<

ok ok, maybe i'll buy it. 360 or PS3? (not pc because my is no good :-|)
