was having high speech and high science this satisfying in FALLOUT 3? because i am loving being able to bully people verbally and talk them into anything in NEW VEGAS. it makes me think i need to double back for another FO3 playthrough.
Yeah, Speech can really take you places in the game and is a big help to get the best possible outcome for many of the quests. Stealth also seems to be improved. I have not found Science or Medicine to be as useful in NV as it was in F3.

I've been told this is the last big push to Hoover Dam and that I should settle my affairs. It seems this is the point of no return but I just wanted to ensure with you that it is. How much adventuring is there after this point? It is one more adventure or are there multiples? Can you gain multiple levels after this point? I ask because I want to end the game at Level 30 and want to do what is needed in the Mojave to ensure that. What's a good level to go into Act 3. Many thanks for all replies.

that's a shame. i was really pumped by the notion that there would be a lot of social manipulation opportunities in FO3 that i had just sort of overlooked the first time through. it's one of my favorite things about my time with NV: turning conversations around on someone almost immediately. what's funny is that the speech option often doesn't seem that convincing. like, someone will seem to have a lot of conviction about not letting me do something, i threaten to stick my foot in their ass, and suddenly they change their mind.
how much speech acumen did i need to have to tell someone that i was going to stick my foot in their ass?
the answer is 75 speech acumen for foot insertion threatenation

ED-E is still lost for me too, but thanks to the patch I can now actually see his icon on the map near Vault 22. Can't find him though.lil smoke said:

Good stuff on that patch, I'm level 13 right now in my first playthrough, I'm really curious as to how this will change stuff. Hopefully it alleviates some crashing, and fixes some annoying quest glitches.
Probably won't buff me enough to take out those damn security gaurd gouls under vault 34 though. But the new batch of HP ammo I bought from the gun runners should help

ive just recently started this game on PS3. really loving it so far. i didn't remember exploring abandoned shacks and ruined buildings was this exciting... just soooo good, so many different items to look for etc. and the music is fucking perfect! (ambient music and radios). hardcore mode is also a fantastic addition, really adds to the immersion having to find drinking water and food. really feels like a struggle to survive (well not really a struggle since it's not that hard of a game).
i think i'm about 6-7 hours in and no crashes or glitches yet, but i really don't like how the game stops for 1-2 seconds ALL the time. very irritating. but as long as it doesn't fully freeze and ruin my progress i'm ok. ohh and why are the load screens so fast!? i don't have time to read the tips on the screen! i wish the game loaded indoor areas a bit slower lolz.
btw
, is that bad? did i miss any quests?
ahh phew, thanks

So, how is the PS3 version as far as bugs and stability are concerned?

None whatsoever. Once you finish the quest, you're done. And you won't make it to level 30 on that quest alone. If you do insist on doing it, make sure you make a save before doing so, so you can reload.
electroshockwave said:
I had no problems for the first 40 hours or so... now the game crashes a few times every time I sit down to play it. Yesterday it was 4 crashes or so, today I've only played an hour and already had a crash and had to quit and restart the game another time due to the game becoming extremely unresponsive.
It's a fantastic game but I'd only recommend it if you're really interested in it. If you're not at least wait until it's $20, because I doubt these crashes will ever be fixed (I don't think they're fixable to be honest).

Only thing about it is that it was scoped, and they are using that blue energy graphic more in general (not just elsewhere in the video but for example ED-E can also shoot a blue beam after 1.02), so it could just be something completely new. I'm still betting on a the pulse rifle though (and I hope so because that was one of my favorite weapons). Wouldn't mind seeing the gauss pistol make a comeback either.
Edit - also I still want my unique lever-action shotgun!

In the future, when stuff like this happens, the game automatically fails any quests that the character is/could be involved in.

Meh. Glad they picked that one as the exclusive DLC, here's hoping the rest are better scenarios.Jtyettis said:

a dirty dozen style scenario involving being forced into an elaborate heist.
yes, what a boring scenario that is.

A Manhunt-like scenario in the Fallout universe doesn't interest me, sorry. Shit, it barely interested me in Manhunt.Kurtofan said:

The later heist part is obviously different, but the "you're trapped somewhere with what seem to be psychos - try to escape and you die" seems very Manhunt to me.Kurtofan said:
But yeah, you're right, at least half of it doesn't seem to be in the same style.
Still, it's not an interesting scenario to me so excuse me for not nutting myself like you guys are. :lol

Sounds just like Fallout 3 where the game gets more broken the further along you are and the larger your save file is. I could get it for £18 now but I suppose I'm not really in a rush to get it as I've got other things to play.

yup, my savefile in Fallout 3 on ps3 is 16mb. the game is pretty much unplayable.
isn't it fantastic how a game rewards a thorough, invested player with more crashes and bugs? basically the more you love the game, the more you're punished. fuck.
if New Vegas really turns out to be the same way, i will cry

OMG. Boone just lost his shit at Gomorrah and dropped my Vegas Strip reputation into the toilet.
It was a simple encounter. I was caught lock picking a door and was attacked...this has happened before to no ill effect or outcome. But this time? Boone fucking kooked.
Before I knew it, he was killing the Omertas. But it didn't stop there. He stalked from room to room killing gamblers, cashiers and hookers. I watched him as he walked up one of the balconies and unmercifully blew the head off one of the cage dancers hanging from the ceiling. And the face on that poor male hooker crouched in the corner as Boone mechete'd him to death; spine chilling.
The little memo that says "Strip infamy gained" went on for over 20 minutes after the shooting had finally stopped.
Needless to say, I am not even given a sideways glance while on the strip now, but I know that all eyes are constantly on me.

I knew before New Vegas came out. Alpha Protocol really gave away New Vegas before release.
The people who got the game are mistaken, the full title is of the game is
Fallout New Vegas
Alpha ver.

STOP NUTTING YOURSELF!!
looks amazing and can't wait myself
Hmm, I think it finally glitched on me.
I'm trying to do the "I Don't Hurt Anymore" quest, but she won't talk to me!
I talked to her once, told her that guy is dead, then the convo closed out. Now, everytime I try to talk to her she just gives me a short comment, no dialog options.
Help?

Try talking to one of the guys in the team first (don't remember his name but its the white guy without glasses).

You'll have to console your way around that if you're on PC. That is a bug.
The console command for that quest is "setstage 0015e480 10", where 10 is the first objective. There are five objectives in total so if you do 10, then 20, etc you can force completion of it. If you want to play it more fair you could check the wiki and make sure you'd actually have the required skills to complete it before doing so.
I've added the lines to the Fallout_default .ini in the Steam folders, and also to the two .inis in the My Documents folders. So they're in literally every .ini they could possibly be in :lolWallach said:
I'd fiddled with the read only settings too, trying every combo of readonly/notreadonly there is. Nothing works.

I guess the Cowboy repeater VATS glitch wasn't fixed. Good thing I was on a quest with lots of support so I didn't get totally destroyed while I just sat there in vats holding my gun. :lol
you may have saved my life logan, but still fuck you for trying to kill me. I appreciate the sweet cache of loot you dropped when you died though
