Fallout New Vegas |OT| Obsidian does what Bethesdon't

Why the fuck repair service costs so much? I guess high Barter skill will lower the price, but it is still too much for repairs.

I just visited Vegas strip and got update to investigate someone/something related to main quest. Haven't been to Novac yet. Seems main story would lead to strip eventually. I'm afraid I will miss few quests by taking shortcut. So many things to do...

Cause they all have like 100 repair from what I've seen so far. Not like in Fallout 3 where tons of merchants could repair but were generally bad at it so they were cheap.

Really? The only guy I can think of with 100 repair is at
Mojave Outpost.

What other ones are there?

25 hours in and I'm starting to regret my decision to side with House because of his desire to
wipe out BoS
. :/
Having a lot of fun so far. Finding an
Enclave power armor helmet in a cave
yesterday put a big smile on my face.

The guy at the BoS safehouse and Raul
are the ones just of the top of my head.

I've only met a couple, maybe I'm mistaken. Thinking about it, probably. Since repair number has nothing to do with repairing something to 100% anymore. People who repair things for you repair them fully no matter what which costs thousands of caps for most items.
 
Vault 11 spoiler, I do not understand what just happened

During the battle in the sacrificial chamber, I was stylin' all over all those wimpy robots, and suddenly I got the message that I had failed "The House Always Wins Part II"...

...wha? What does that mission, and Mr. House, even have to do with this "side story"? I failed it for winning a fight on the other side of the map?

Sounds like a bug to me. I have had a similar issue of a quest failing when I triggered something completely unrelated (though it was right near the start of the game). Try reloading I guess.

So, I sided with
Legion
for the Wild Cards quest.
I was kind of regretting it (I can't even find where the hell they put Benny up on a cross :lol), then I got the Caeser's Reward quest. Which, is basically just a bunch of Legion money and ammo/weapons that seems to restock every game day. I saved right before though, and I'm gonna side with house after I finish this playthrough. OH! Yes Man is still offering to help me take over House's shit, despite the chip being destroyed? Is this a glitch or is it not destroyed after you throw it in the machine then destroy the building under the Legion camp?

Just tried them out, everything seems better, no major stuttering besides loading new areas while walking around, still drops to much. The wierd dot glitches are gone with HDR x4AA turned on as far as I could tell.

While I was checking out the framerate is certain areas I found something really odd going on, I'm not sure if it's driver related or what. If someone could test it on their system to see if it happens. I was in Nipton walking around, if I'm inside the city and running around, movement feels like it is in slow motion and going into 3rd person shows the animations much slower than they should be. If I'm facing away from Nipton leaving down a road, animations suddenly are fine again.

Framerate between the views is 40-45fps compared to 60fps. It's a very odd bug, never seen a game do that before, wish I had vegas installed to post a youtube.

All settings on max except AA at x4, vsync on in launcher.

Sounds like you're using the iFPSclamp=60 tweak? it makes the game go literally slower if your fps goes below 60.

Argh Vault 34! :lol

I survived, got the pulse gun, and completed the Hard Luck Blues quest, but man that was probably the dungeon where things went the worst for me yet. First I took so much damage my radiation suit broke! :lol I couldn't put it on again after putting on the rebreather, and I didn't notice for quite a while that I was pretty much running around in boxers and a singlet. I promptly put on Benny's suit and the 1st Recon beret. The entire dungeon was just me shooting up stimpacks, Rad-X, Radaway, and I think I shot up some other drugs too to help me with the Overseer fight. Overall right after getting out of the dungeon, I felt like I needed to take a good long shower in real life. UGHHHHHHHHH. :lol

Related (ties in to late main quest spoiler):

Went through all that shit, show up back at the Brotherhood and the Elder tells Veronica and I he doesn't care. Fuck it, I don't care, I tried to make peace. Tell Veronica to piss off, turn the Pulse Gun and a Heavy Incinerator on the Brothers, then activate the self destruct.

Nearing the end game and I don't really like how its going either way

House storyline. He wants me to kill the BOS but I like the BOS so this is pissing me off.

NCR, and in particular commmander moore is a dirty rude arrogant bitch and the way she's talking about the khans ( I helped them instead and somehow the game allowed me to tell her they've been destroyed). I tried to get her to negotiate with the khans but she wouldn't have any of it. And then wanting me to kill House now. I don't like this

Going to see if I can't help the BOS win this war


the last couple of hours of the game post getting the game working again and I didn't have to replay anything, have felt strangely hollow. You'd think the end part was more engaging but my character is now powering through most critters - 1 shot deathclaw kills... and its a bit.. hmmm. Its very fetch questy, go here get this get that, fast travel to this other place, get this get that. Get a bunch of XP while doing so... but I'm level 27 and I don't really need more XP.


Anyhow, I'll leave it for tonight. I'll do the end game tomorrow.

Drivers didn't do shit for NPC bug, but AA issue is solved. I had to drop the dll back in my install directory. Cleared things up, though in the setup menu it no longer lists a 7900GS as my GPU, but correctly lists my GTX460. Whatever, as long as it works

I`m not sure I fully understand the reloading bench and it`s not explained anywhere in the manual(360).....I have some cases I guess on the left,obviously those that are highlighted I have the recipe for,or enough of them to make what`s on the right? or is what`s on the right what I need to make real ammo from the number besides the one highlighted on the left?....

The ones lit up are the ones you have the ingredients in your backpack to make. The greyed out ones you know as a recipe, but aren't currently carrying the items to actually make. On the right side is a description of what that recipe creates, along with a list of required materials on the bottom right required to make 1 item of that recipe.

If there's a number on the left side (like the Scrap Metal to Lead recipe), it means one "use" of that recipe creates that number of items. So crafting 1 Scrap Metal will create 200 Lead.

It's bugged guy

Some of the robots are tagged to the Lucky 38 faction so killing them instant-fails one of House's quests

Huh, that did not happen to me.
Is it only if you start working for Mr. House before going to Vault 11?

It's not true for everyone for some reason, yeah.

I think the robots that show up are dependant on your level, so not all of them are tagged improperly
 
hmm.. it looks like there are still significant framerate/driver issues. It runs at 60 fps no problem like it should on my 32 bit XP install, but my 64 Win 7 install (on the same system) runs with a terrible framerate whenever NPCs are nearby or onscreen. Pretty sad that a game released a week ago runs best on a 10 year old OS.

I've broken the game now that my character has the best unique weapons, challenge perks, Lily's 10% stealth crit bonus, etc. The only thing remotely threatening is packs of deathclaws or deathclaw alphas that I might not be able to kill before they get a swipe.

If you have a save from before you enter the chamber, there's a fix you can download from the Fallout Nexus.

Tried it, didn't seem to fix the framerate. Toggleemotions in the console didn't help either. I don't know whether it's the difference between XP and 7 or 32 and 64 bit, or both. Of course it still randomly crashes on XP 32, but I suppose that's just due to the game engine and bad coding.

Where'd you put it? A lot of people mistakenly put it in the My Games/Fallout New Vegas folder.

Clearly technical issues couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. What a shame.
 
Can somebody help clarify the the results of some of the choices I will make, without spoiling as much as possible!

Basically, I want to allign myself with the NCR. I have their trust etc and I understand that to keep that I have to fuck up the Legion, which I'm doing. However now I've got the Strip things have become more complicated...

I have the option to kill Yes Man or Mr. House and also the chance to go around the other casinos to find out about other people, as well as the Brotherhood of Steel, etc etc.

Now I've gained the loyalty of the Boomers and they've agreed to help us in the battle, HOWEVER I also have the option ot tell Yes Man they "won't be a threat" or "have my trust." If I do either of those two things, would it fuck up the NCR plan/loyalty? Will the choice of if I kill Yes Man or the other people also have a similar impact?

Basically, I want to be assured that by doing some things for other factions I won't get the wrath of the NCR and get kicked out. I now have the option of going to
the dam
to meet an NCR person, but will this irradicate all of the above quests from the Strip?

Gah! I like the open-endedness of the game but I'm afraid of making the wrong option. :lol Any insight would be appreciated!

Are you using the 4gb/stutter fix? Fixed all my problems, I'm using it until NVSE and NV Stutter Remover comes out.

I´m playing the game on Core i7 computer with Win7 64bit and a ATI Radeon 5830 card. It runs in almost perfect framerate in 1920 resolution. One crash in 11h gametime.

9/10 NeoGAFfers don't understand statistics. The other 3/10 don't care.
Jury Rigging is one of the best perks ever, being able to repair unique weapons/armor with common equipment is awesome.

Clearly talking down to someone as if they were a technical imbecile while willfully being ignorant of their recent posts on the same thread doesn't make you a douchebag. And I have no technical issues, it's running perfectly on my XP 32 install, thanks.

Yes it's already well known it's an issue with Nvidia cards. And the game will crash more frequently as you progress.

Ledsen said:

Haven't tried it, but it's not a stutter issue on win 7 64, it's a poor performance/framerate issue. It runs smoothly when there are no NPCs around.

I'm just curious if anyone on GAF has experienced the DLC bug, it basically corrupts your save files. The bug seems to be happening with the "Come Fly With Me" quest. I actually was watching someone play on justin.tv this past weekend and saw it happen live to him.

There is no wrong option, but you do have to choose one end game path at the exclusion of the others. Whoever you keep working with will exclude the others - Yes Man, Mr House, NCR, or Legion.

Deacan said:

Yeah that is one of the only non-combat perks I'm willing to take as it lets you use the unique weapons without repair issues.

Base stats after modding: 8 STR, 6 PER, 7 END, 1 CHR, 7 INT, 7 AGI, 10 LCK
Perks: 01 Fast Shot and Built to Destroy, 02 Rapid Reloads, 04 Educated, 06 Bloody Mess, 08 Cowboy, 10 Finesse, 12 Shotgun Surgeon, 14 Purifier, 16 Better Criticals, 18 Super Slam, 20 Confirmed Bachelor, 22 Sniper, 24 Ninja, 26 Nerves of Steel, 28 Jury Rigging, 30 Hunter. Still considering Piercing Strike, Slayer, Commando, Math Wrath, Grim Reaper's Spirit, or Action Boy.
Best companions: ED-E w/ armor perk, Lily for 10% extra stealth crits

Man, what the fuck are you even talking about? I asked for your sake, to fix a problem on your end. I don't even know what you're on about with your recent posts because they're all about character builds, what does that have to do with anything? Sweet jesus.

Ah,ok cool thanks...

So it looks like I can`t get Cass yet,unless I find books that temporarily increase certain skills,Vault 22 elevators are broken and my repair skill is not high enough so i can`t proceed in there for now and I have yet to find the secret or other entrance for the Gun Runners quest,that sounds like it`s going to be a pain if I want to do it the stealth way hehe...

Oh and can anyone spoiler me where I have to drop Morales corpse hehe...I found him but since it`s just a note/misc quest,it just says north of the railway track and there`s no marker...draging him around makes me walk slow as hell and is just creepy to boot,seeing him flapping in the air,with his forearm gone and blood sticking out...

In some games, one of the turrets are incorrectly faction flagged. Use this fix here if you are on PC.

I have lost the will to keep playing this game, I have lost my save files now 3 times, they keep being overwritten by the first 3 that I made. I don't know what to do, I have been thinking of asking for my money back from valve, but I doubt that works.

what to do, what to do.
