You know i thought about checking that out, for the lulz, but nah.

I used to play Oblivion on my bro's PC and I tried a nude mod for lulz but I couldn't turn it off even though I disabled it in the mod menu and he probably ended up playing the game and thinking I was some kind of pervert because I made all the people naked.

Towel trick go! Caeser ordered me to

destroy the brotherhood. Already did Veronica's quest, so I didn't think it would be a big deal to her. Wrong-o. She pouted and quit the team after I exploded the bunker. Shot her in the face to get my stuff back. :lol. ED-E and Lily seem to be the only Caeser friendly companions :/

 

[Dilly]

The idea of a man sitting behind his PC animating sexual intercourse animations for a Fallout mod scares me.

 

[Ledsen]

Killed my first Deathclaw at level 6... rocks are awesome.

 

[kitch9]

Man, just got my gun skill up to 100 and I've just headshotted 6 deathclaws with my Gun Runners sniper rifle from miles away, whilst sneaking and killed them all in 1.......

 

[Danne-Danger]

i dont think Boone can ever wear power armor. There are only two companions with the training to wear it and Boone isnt one of them.

Well then that's... weird, because he totally did for me (that's him in the pic on the last page). I gave him the one in the room behind

Spoiler

the Brotherhood Elder

specifically because I couldn't wear it yet. Then I gave it to Raul for the short period I used him. No mods or anything.

I suppose I just got lucky then?

Hmm.. maybe the power armor you gave him was Brotherhood type and is considered faction so he cant wear it.

 

[Danne-Danger]

Hmm.. maybe the power armor you gave him was Brotherhood type and is considered faction so he cant wear it.

Again I don't think so, because I used that armour later and it didn't say anything about that, and I gave him the Power Armour I bought later when I became a member and he used that no problem as well.

Which are the two companions that are supposed to have training?

 

[Turnstyle]

on a sidenote: Fisto! :lol :lol :lol

am I the only one who "tried" him and replied "That all you've got, robot?" :lol

I did this too. It also seemed to trigger a 'Wacky Wasteland' moment when I left the factory:

Spoiler

I came out of the building, only to be faced with three women with their hair in rollers, brandishing rolling pins. One of them shouted 'There he is, the ponce!', and preceded to attack me.

 

[duckroll]

I remember giving Boone the power armor I found on the bodies on the third floor of the REPCONN HQ. He couldn't wear it. ED-E couldn't store it either. I had to carry that piece of shit with me even though I couldn't wear it either. Eventually I realized it was useless and I sold it. :lol

 

[TTG]

Question regarding Ring-a-ding-ding and all of what that entails:

Spoiler

So I got into Benni's room and talked to the bot inside. Should I hold off killing Benni? I could get the chip now, but I don't see the hurry considering I have all of these new side quests. Any use in pushing the encounter back until the wildcard stuff is done? Or should I just get rid of him now?

Ok this game really needs a fucking patch.

Bought an Incinerator from a merchant that just didnt show up in my inventory after purchasing.

WTF

I had this happen a few times last night. Starting to get annoying.

 

[Mr YuYu]

I just started the game yesterday and tried to rob a villager in goodsprings. Of course i got cought and i had to kill him.

The thing is... Nobody in goodsprings feels like talking to me anymore. Did i miss a lot of quests?? Can i fix it?

UKIE accidentally leaked their own numbers for this week's Top10 UK chart (ending 30th Oct) across all platforms:

Microsoft's Fable III (128,895) begins life at the top of the All Formats Chart this week, deposing Fallout: New Vegas (69,613 / -55%), which slips to No3. The highly anticipated sequel from UK developer Lionhead Studios outsells the launch week of Fable II by around 6,000 units making it the 13th biggest Xbox 360 launch ever and the 4th biggest Xbox 360 launch of 2010. It is Microsoft's 3rd All Formats No1 so far in 2010 (after Crackdown 2 and Halo: Reach). There was only 1 Microsoft title last year that reached No1 in the All Formats Chart (Halo 3: ODST). FIFA 11 (75,703 / +10%) rises one place to No2, while Ubisoft's Just Dance 2 (58,375 / +2%) also manages to climb one place, up to No4. The next highest new entry is Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II (56,064) at No5. The original title debuted at No1 back in W38 2008. EA's Medal of Honor (48,650 / -53%) falls 4 places to No6, ahead of this weeks 3rd highest new entry WWE Smackdown VS Raw 2011 (47,785), new at No7. Nintendo's highest charting game remains Professor Layton and the Lost Future (45,470 / -23%) despite a drop of 4 places to No8, while EA can now claim 3 Top 10 titles as the release of The Sims 3 (28,624 / +999%) on next-gen formats propels it back into the chart at No9. Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 (26,732) holds on to its position on the Top 10, down one place to No10, helped by a healthy 93% increase in sales. The Sims is also at No15 this week thanks to the release of PC expansion The Sims 3: Late Night (13,139). There are also new entries for EA's Rock Band 3 (7,386) at No26 and The X-Factor (4,335) from Deep Silver/Koch at No37.

Since this is NV's second week, that number would put the first week at about 154,695. Which means NV has sold 224,308 in two weeks in the UK across all platforms.

 

[fizzelopeguss]

How does that compare to other games duckroll? They seem like pretty solid numbers to me, but i don't have a clue

 

[duckroll]

NV supposedly outperformed Fallout 3's UK opening week by 29%, so if it sold about 154k in the opening week, then Fallout 3 should have sold about 120k in the opening week in UK.

You sure it wasn`t a Young Deathclaw seriously though,just got mauled by 3 of them,that seemed to come out of nowhere,even with Boone and ED-E in my team...

God I hate doing those find this guy in the casino parts,the markers in multiple floors and when you need to find 2 or more are so confusing.

If even Ringo doesn`t want to talk to you,yeah you will miss some stuff...

I suppose this is a good thing. Boone in power armor would be enough to take out the entire Legion single-handedly.

Still wish I knew where Rex and ED-E went. I have never so wanted a game engine to go die in a fire as I have for Gamebyro.

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Just wanted to say that my review of New Vegas is finally up:

http://pepsimanvsjoe.blogspot.com/2010/10/x360-look-fallout-new-vegas.html

I'd post the full text but it is rather long.

Game Rating – 1 out of 5

Originally the plan was to give this game a zero which stands for “not even a game” but New Vegas is at least competent in just enough areas to slide on over. Still it’s all buried under a surplus of issues and I avoid pushing the game whenever possible as I feel it’ll just fall over and break.

My Rating – 4 out of 5

No matter how broken a game is it’s all rendered irrelevant depending on my enjoyment of it. Aside from the obvious stuff like hitting people over the head and raising hell whenever possible I have a fondness for dressing in strange outfits and dumping corpses into swimming pools. Sometimes I get drunk and stuff a plasma grenade in the face of anyone who mouths off of me. Then I limp off with two broken legs, take a nap on bit of cardboard, and resume my antics as fresh as a spring breeze. I’m not sure what this all has to do about the unchanging of War and survival but maybe I’ll just ask the opinion of the headless corpse I’ve been wandering around the Mojave with for the past several weeks.

You can get a motel room in Novac for 100caps. The town with the Dinosaur!

You get a Presidential suite in a classy casino too later on!

Probably more, I think safe houses count too...

It was a a Blind Deathclaw (they sure aren't blind though :/). However like I said, I got a little help from a conveniently placed rock... kite -> jump up on rock -> shoot a few times -> jump down -> kite -> jump up... etc

You have to do all 3 partitions in one go. If not, the quest gets bugged I believe.

I have that quest as well and I am having the same problem as you. If I ever figure out how to get up there, I will let you know.

 

[IronRinn]

I totally agree, but I'm not a fan of putting beta mods in. When it's relatively complete and well tested, I'm definitely loading it. Looks amazing.

I've been using the Realistic Lighting mod and the Sandstorm mod as well. The only issue I've had with the Sandstorm mod was going into Caesar's tent and the sandstorm was in effect inside which was...odd. The realistic lighting mod (or Fellout if you prefer that one) is a must, getting rid of that horrible orange/brown filter they used (as opposed t the green one they used in FO3).

 

[kitch9]

Damn, it took me ages! You have to go around the other side of the mountain, its hard to explain, but you have to go out the camp at the side where the graves are, and go round the side of the mountain to the right a bit, (Use local map.) and you can make your way up and round there, look out for a narrow path between two rocks as you get near the top.....

So what are the essential mods for Vegas? I am about to start it and I thought some mods are probably in order if F3 was any indication.

Probably something to make the inventory management better right? And I saw there is an extra perks mod, yay or nay? And I see the lighting mod above.

Also, a mod manager installer/remover?

MTUI - Standard interface mod. Must have if you have a display running higher than 800x600.

Revelation - A great interface mod that makes things look like the original Fallout 1/2/Tactics GUI. The only reason i dont use it is because there is noticeable lag with it on my machine.

FOOK - Lots of little fixes and tweaks.. but personally im holding off until it becomes a little more comprehensive.

New Vegas Mod Manager - Timeslips is coming soon.. use this in the meantime.

Bobblehunt - A balanced mod that adds Bobbleheads to the Mojave. There is an in-game hint file that is downloaded to your Pipboy once you find a bobble stand. So far this is the first content add-on that seems worth it.

About the perk every level mod.. id stay away from it. Otherwise its like Fallout 3 where you have every single perk by end game. Its much more balanced now, imo.

It is indeed bugged. Choosing the Science option will glitch the quest. Just pick the other option to do the same thing, and it should work. If you can reload your save that is.

Anyway, got a quick question. Is there anyway to enter the El dorado Sub Station without upsetting the NCR?

Darnified v0.0.3 is working fine for me, might still be some issues but it's better than MTUI.

Either way is fine. Companion kills give you XP so you dont have to worry about that.
