This game kinda reminds me of STALKER or VTMB. Hella buggy but amazing and ambitious nonetheless. I love it.

You killed a guy in a quest and took his hat, right? If you do that, you can't get into NV anymore except by monorail, unless you put on a cowboy hat. just google it, it's a well documented bug.

Just download someone's save game and edit the char to your liking using the console.

Yeah, that was such an awesome experience.
I was literally terrified as I walked through that corridor, towards the light. And the tension of sitting down in that chair, knowing that something terrible was about to happen. And as the creepy movie reel fizzled out... I was so terror-struck I had to pause the game as I heard the sounds from the doors opening.

A little disappointing it's DLC, basically all of Caesar's Legion kept talking about the burned man, I assumed I just hadn't found him yet.

Right. Maybe next they can deal with shotguns scaling poorly as difficulty increases due to how DT and DAM are calculated. On Very Hard even the Riot Shotgun w/ Shotgun Surgeon perk feels like you are firing buckshot into a brick wall.Wallach said:

Slugs are harder to find than buckshot, and the riot shotgun eats ammo like candy. And why bother when you have That Machine and Gobi, anyway. Yes we know VH is not difficult. Balance mods will fix that eventually, maybe.Jerk 2.0 said:
Regardless of what they do to balance weapons,
the legendary deathclaw will still be easy to kill by shooting at it then running away.. it doesn't seem to do very well chasing you inside the cave due to its huge size.
mjemirzian said:
Slugs can easily be broken down and made using the buckshots and other ammo that you are not using. Not to mention you can reset the shopkeepers if you must.
Still, I agree that even then shotguns are not worth the effort. Gobi is all the gun I need (It and the Ratslayer are the only guns in my inventory).

So even though I can play this at a friend's house, and even though DLC is being announced, I just can't pass up the game for 40$ tomorrow/today. :lol
Joining the 360 crowd. Can't wait to play a unique game. Any tips for a character build relying heavily on verbal non-violence and manipulation?

Thank you. Also, is the Wild Wasteland option prevalent in the game? I'm all for twenty or so world events/changes, but not nearly every dialog. Anyone been able to compare them in an exhaustive way? Did it "really" change the game's feel?

Well, it's time to leave and pick up a copy. I just couldn't keep watching my neighbor play it. :lol He's already put in sixty hours. I should have played FO2 again in preparation, but whatever. Can't wait.

Not bad timing. You'll get it near release but at a decent price with the "Black Friday" deals, plus the first really large patch should be due very soon (I'd expect next week or the week after).

Is anyone else getting a weird skidding effect when they're sneaking, like the game suddenly skips a bit and you're a couple of metres ahead of where you should be? I've been getting it since the latest patch and it's really starting to get annoying.

Yeah I get that too. That also happens when i'm making a Caravan deck. I'll be scrolling through the cards and all of a sudden it will skip 4-5 cards ahead.
Anyway something amusing happened to me just now. I was sleeping at Boulder Beach when
Victor shows up and talks about how I took out the Khans at Boulder City and whatever and when I say goodbye he proceeds to roll into the lake.
It was actually kinda creepy at first.
Just finished on 360.
There is probably a decent game in there somewhere, but I've never been so taken out of an experience by the technical side of things more than this game. Glitches, bugs, crashes, load times in the minutes and a shitty framerate to boot. There was actually slowdown in the fucking credit scroll of all things!
I didn't really care about any of the factions and didn't really like my options at the end of the game. Quests for the most part boiled down to traveling back and forth between two or more locations, doing nothing more than engaging in dialogue or delivering packages or something equally mundane; This is where the load times really took their toll.
I was so pissed most of the time about the technical problems that I might not be giving the rest of the game a fair shake admittedly. This is getting traded today, but I would love to revisit a version the game that was playable (Maybe the eventual GOTY edition). If anything, Obsidian has made me appreciate Bethesda a lot more.

Not sure what all this talk about crashes and load times are really. I started playing the game post-fixpatch and with a total of around 40 hours (I'd guess) put into it I have a grand total of ONE crash and ONE stuck bug. Load times are at most 7-10 seconds. Are your PCs really that bad (mine just barely keeps a stable framerate 1280x800), or is the 360 version just retarded?

I really hate when people do this. You're not sure because you're incredibly lucky. Don't talk down to people or suggest they have slow computers just because you didn't suffer from one of the MANY game-breaking bugs in this game. For example, there are at least two confirmed bugs that cause every save you make after you trigger them to be corrupted. There is one bug making you unable to get into New Vegas. And those are just a couple of examples. The latest patch also caused horrible performance problems and crashing for many people, including me. I can't play the game until they fix it.
Barberetti said:
This will happen if you reload a hand-fed weapon (.357 revolver, lever-action shotgun, cowboy repeater etc) while sneaking (aka crouched). If you do a full reload then don't pull the trigger afterward the physics get weird because you're still considered in kind of a quasi-reloading state. You'll know because it will not let you get into proper iron sights view when this happens. Just pull the trigger once to kill the script keeping you in that state (it shouldn't fire the weapon) and it should stop.
So I'm afraid I sort of broke this game.
I was just exploring on my own after getting the

are all over the place. I killed them all, then went to the
and found that they were there too! So I killed a lot of them. Now they hate me and are all aggro. House wants me to
Is it possible to even get in safely? Did I kinda break this quest and I should just reload an old save?

Did you send her to Lucky 38?
If not, try waiting for 24 hours then try to go to them again. Cass vanished for me, then reappeared after i waited for 24 hours.
Y2Kev said:
Same happened to me. You'll have to fight your way through.
It's not a glitch. You were given forgiveness for your action against them, but when you fought them before entering the fort, they all became hostile. If you want to go in without them being hateful, you'll have to reload to an older save.
Y2Kev said:
You didn't break the quest, you just made it harder. Now you will have to fight your way to the back of the fort, where you then go into an underground bunker and do stuff. If you would have played nice, you would have gotten access to the bunker without having to fight off the Legion.

I'm just starting this on 360, and was just wondering if there were any major bugs or glitches I should watch out for? I played FO3 for about 200+ hours, so I'm fine with the occasional character clipping or game freezing. I'm more worried about the big stuff. Any quests bugged and not completable, or anything like that?
I just played through the first bit, in Goodsprings, and so far I'm really enjoying it. I loved FO3, so more of the same is perfectly fine by me.

Finished my first run and started again right away.
So awesome.
It was pretty tough at times because I went low-strength, high agility and perception, so my weapon usage was pretty heavily limited.
Definitely my game of the year, and one of my favourite games of all time. I'm going to play through it a few more times until some DLC and mods are out, then play through it even more times. Really want to try a pacifist or a low-int run after this one.
I decided to befriend everyone except the Legion and then got Yes Man to take over for me at the end. I had 100 speech so I managed to convince the Legion to bail without having to fight, then told NCR who thought we were bros that I wanted them out of Vegas.

When I went to the Fort I took Boone so that we could decimate the entire encampment together. Running in, popping some turbo and blowing Caesar's head off with the hunting revolver then bolting out and kiting his guards around the camp was tough but satisfying.
