A few questions...
I need a good Caravan strategy. Anyone know where I can find one?
Also, I just got the Jury Rigging perk, which I was really excited for. But... it doesn't seem to work? For example, I wanted to repair my Combat Armor R2 w/ regular Combat Armor, and it didn't register. However, the wiki says it should. Am I bugged or what?

Oh man I did something terrible.
I was wiping out the Legion from Cottonwood Cove with Boone when I saw a family of slaves locked up in the camp.

I try to free them but they ask me for a key to remove their explosive slaves collars.
I couldn't be arsed to rummage through all the dead legionnaries to find this fucking key, so I pass a speech check saying something like " You can go now!"
So, they run for it and as I thought "once again I save the day" I hear the sound of several explosions.
Whoops.

Really glad that Sawyer is listening to some of us on the official forums about some of the shit math in this game. At the very least EW should be much more competent after the upcoming patch:
Still a lot of other problems I have with their combat implementation but this is a good start. Maybe there's hope for Explosives as well.

You really didn't need to rummage through all the legionaries either; the jailer for the slaves has a unique name, IIRC.

I'm glad too. And unlike Alpha Protocol, Obsidian has every reason to keep supporting this game since Bethesda managed to ship 5 million copies, and sell through over a million in the first month in the US alone. I'm really happy for the game's success because it also means Obsidian will likely get funded for quite a while to continue supporting the game post-release.

Really, the best thing that could happen is if Zenimax bought them and just let them make Fallout games while Bethesda churns out Elder Scroll RPGs/MMOs.
In my fantasy world OE would still get the chance to make KoTOR3 and finish up the KoTOR2 storyline (aka, the only good Star Wars video game story ever written), but oh well.
Finished last night,71 hours in...the ending was a huge letdown for me,because it was way too hard,compared to the rest of the game for one,I didn`t like the fact that everything got harder if you didn`t have some of the skills maxed out and that having done all the quest to have the Boomers on my side let`s say,added nothing to the ending...still,everything else was awesome and I might start out another playthrough,going melee or whatever for awhile and try and get some achievements I missed(only got about 400 points).
Played on the 360 and had 3 freezes,that`s it,in all that time.

This is what I did too last night! After meeting Caesar and deciding that I would never help him I took Boone to Cottonwood and cleared out the camp (not the main base.)
Boone basically killed 80% of the people with a sniper rifle and .308 ammo! I simply dealt with anyone who got too close to him. I felt like I was the bot!
That legion helmet with the feathers and goggles looks badass!

Man, that's good news for my level 30 character with a specialization in Energy Weapons. I finally might have another good weapon besides the Gauss Rifle and Alien Blaster.Wallach said:

how is taking ammo from bad guys' ammo crates bad karma? c'mon! it's good karma to gun them down, but bad karma to salvage their ammo?

just heard the story of vikki and vance, which is one of the funnier things i've ever heard in a video game.
So pick this up on the d2d sale, and boy for a gamebryo engine game it looks pretty fantastic. Was digging the initial beginning of it and then during the tutorial with Sunny, she just stopped and stood there as we were hunting geckos. And she yells and screams for help, but nothing is happening and my radar shows enemies but there isn't anyone there.
Not a particularly good start but it isn't the complete mess that was 3 on the ps3 so I'm not discouraged, was just hoping at this point it would take longer before I ran into a bug/glitch. :lol

So nice to finally meet The Boomers! Here I was expecting another pack of assholes to deal with but I found them to be really nice. Their leader is an older version of my character!
Hopefully I can keep them on the straight and narrow. If they displease Mr. House... Well I guess that would be a real shame.

Just finished the game. Will probably revisit over the weekend to try out a couple of alternative endings and wrap up a few loose ends.
But on my replay, I'm thinking... a ninja. Hand to Hand, Sneak and Unarmed.
Anyone played through with a character like this? What did you think? The perks are kinda there... but my impression after 5 minutes of playing is; melee range combat system is kinda tacked on isn't it?

I also wiped out the camp but left the slaves alone (more like forgot about them). The next day I went back and the jailer was there, alive just walking around. Don't know how he spawned since I had killed everyone but there he was and I was able to free them safely.
Also, if you cross the river from there and head north you'll find a huge deathclaw village that's not on the map. I didn't find anything special there though, but the xp was nice.
I'm playing a melee, unarmed (kinda sneaky) character on hardcore right now. The initial part of the game is kind of difficult; I was always hoarding food because I didn't have any good armor. Gets more manageable as you reach mid-game though (cazadors are painful though). Playing melee feels better since Vats is so slow and janky at times.Zaptruder said:

on 360, about six hours in, no crashes, loving it.
already such an incredible game. i'd forgotten why i loved fallout 3 so much, that feeling of wandering from place to place, seeing something off in the distance, walking to it, and forgetting where you were going because you continually get distracted by more interesting sights.

Hey guys, question!
In the PC version, is there any way to get it to stop showing 360 controller prompts with the 360 controller is plugged in but I'm not using it?
I generally prefer to make the wired controller in, for whenever I just want to launch a game that I use it for, but New Vegas is not one of those games.
Is there something in the ini file I can mess with?
