Dammit, can't believe I missed free DLC. ><
Sounds like it's good, though, so I'm definitely picking this up sooner rather than later. Exams be damned.

Extract the zip some place then copy all the files (Meshes, Texures e.t.c.) into the Data folder. If the mod has a .esp file then copy that to the Data folder as well. Boot up the game and on the launcher click 'Data Files' and make sure the mod is checked (if it had a .esp).SuicideUZI said:
If that mod is a texture replacer you will need to mess around with your archive invalidation file as well to get the game to use the modded ones rather than the default. Not at home so I can't link to it but search the New Vegas nexus for archive invalidation.

i did all that and found "Fallout_New_Vegas_ArchiveInvalidation_Invalidated-35935-beta.7z" and ran that and it added a "ArchiveInvalidation.txt" to the game directory but the mod still doesn't work, since when are PC mods so hard to get working
I've got a question about unlocking the ability to use power armor:
I've checked a guide which says that, after completing the main quest for the Brotherhood (leaving Elder McNamara in charge), I just talk to McNamara, and he gives me another quest which gives me my power armor ability. Well, I've completed the main Brotherhood quest (as well as all of their other mini-quests), and every time I've gone up to McNamara, he just tells me he's busy. I'm 'Liked' by the Brotherhood, and don't have anything else I can do for them, so I'm not really sure what I'm missing here.
Wait for a while (like a week or so ingame), he should give you a new quest allowing you toThraktor said:

A different route to get power armor is to do Arcade's personal quest, no need to wait for a NPC to stop being busy.

How do I find
I got to the vault
Where do I go? What did I miss?
Elijah?
and it locked me in and then the game ended with me dying in the vault.

Did you read the
Text for Dean from Sinclair after reading Vera's note? The game warns you not to do that.
The end "slideshow" of Dead Money is very interesting, it has some huge hints about
future DLC.
Oh, and Veronica's perk that you can get afterwords is pretty ridiculous.
Unfortunately, hitting 35 at the very end of Dead Money with no new perks for you as the PC is kinda meh.
Need help with the last (i think?) quest in the DLC.
Edit: Nvm, found it
I got past all the annoying speakers and now I'm at the forcefield door guarded by three holograms. I've turned off two emitters and I blew up some generator thingy and I even jumped down and snagged the turret control password, but I still can't find out how to open the forcefield door. How?
Edit: Nvm, found it
What the fuck's wrong with me :lol The exit was right in front of me all that time. Anyway, I liked my ending and liked the DLC. Had some issues, can't be bothered to get into that right now. I'd probably rank it below The Pitt and above Mothership Zeta / Operation Anchorage (though that has much better loot).
Anyway, I'm so glad I got the
So good.

I searched around for a good hour only to realise that the exit was just opposite the entrance to the Sierra Madre :lol I thought for some reason I had to speak to either Christine or God (that's right).
Re DLC: The sense of foreboding was great.
The mentions of Ulysses by Christine and in the ending. Ulysses was in the Big Empty looking for another Courier, I could hazard a guess and say that's our character.
Just checking his wiki and it sums it up nicely. I can't wait for a DLC revolving around him and the reason why he wants to find The Courier.

Thanks. I'd say it's been a good few weeks of game time since I did his quest, but I can't really go directly on in the main story as
the NCR have asked me to take out the Brotherhood of Steel, which I didn't want to do until I'd learnt how to use all the power armor I'd be looting off their corpses
Hating the nerfs on my .308 caliber weps. Anyhow, haven't touched the DLC yet just leveling up so far to 32, but it seems the rate is not too bad. Will hit up the Madre once I hit 35.
Edit: Never even realized until after the fact, but got in on that DLC right at the opportune time.

My personal favorite pistol is the 12.7mm, though the Ranger Sequoia (or the Hunting Revolver) is a close runner-up. The latter weapons are affected by Cowboy and really the Ranger Sequoia has little competition in terms of raw effectiveness with that perk as far as pistols go. I simply love the 12.7mm design and audio, though it has the advantage of a silencer mod which makes it a good gun to keep on hand even with Cowboy.
Melee wise I've always favored the Super Sledge, and there's a unique variant of that called Oh Baby! that I'd consider the most powerful melee weapon currently in the game.

Did they ever fix the PS3 bugs? It's been sitting on the shelf until it is. I know they had patches coming, but dunno if they are out yet.

CaptainCamerica said:
Hmm.
If you're going through the maintainance hallway, by the time you get to
the vault, there should be a computer on the outside that lets you open it. I was referring to once you're already inside the vault earlier. The vault will open up after you read Vera's text, as long as you don't read the note from Sinclair after that.
Hmm, definitely didn't know about
Ulysses until I saw that wiki link.

OK, this is driving me crazy. Where is the
(Dean's first? portion of Dead Money)?

I can see the hole in the wall (where I assume it is, by the marker), but have no clue how to get to it. The path on the shingles is blocked cause the porch has a board in the way. I'm just bumbling around in the fog like an idiot.

Holy mother of Lore Bombs! Seriously. The first two conversations in Dead Money would probably take up 5 full pages of text!

Gets to pilot the crappy patrol labors
I'm about 8-10 hours into New Vegas and I just encountered my first companion. So what do I need to know about them? If they die, are they gone for the rest of the game? Can I leave them in a room and travel and play for hours solo and go back and pick them up again? Etc.
Do you play on Hardcore mode?itsinmyveins said:
If you do yes they're gone when they die.If not they'll just go unconscious for a while.
You can tell them to stay somewhere but they still count as being with you.
You can ask them to go away and they'll generally go where you picked them up(unless you ask them to go to a specific place you'll encounter later on), and you'll be able to recruit them again.
itsinmyveins said:
- You can have one "humanoid" and one "robotic" companion in your active party at any given time.
- Companions will only die permanently if you are playing on Hardcore. Otherwise, they will be rendered unconscious and will take up after a minute or so after exiting combat status with full health.
- You can leave companions anywhere in the game by simply telling them to wait, or you can remove them from your group by sending them back to their home location, where they will remain until you go back and pick them up as a companion again. Later on you can gain access to another "base" of sorts that you can send them to instead of their default home location. Note that any companion that is set to a wait command is still considered in your active party and you will not be able to recruit another companion of that type until you actually dismiss them. Keep track of your companions if you set them to wait somewhere.
- Any companion will grant you a passive perk while they are considered to be in your "party" and you will lose that perk if you dismiss them (or they die on Hardcore mode).
- Some companions are restricted in terms of what kinds of armor they will equip. For example, Boone will not wear any form of armor that has a faction affiliation unless that faction affiliation is with the NCR. Robotic companions cannot equip any type of armor whatsoever. Note that when you try to place a piece of armor in a companion's inventory, if they are ineligible to equip that item type they will immediately throw it on the ground - it will not go in their inventory. Be careful that you don't lose items this way.
- Companions can equip weapons you place in their inventory but will make choices about what to actually use based on their (hidden) skills. Using Boone as an example again, his Guns skill is the highest weapon skill he has, so any Guns-class weapons you place in his inventory he will consider. Note that all companions come with a default weapon, and that weapon will never run out of ammunition (if it uses ammunition to begin with). Any other weapon you place in their inventory requires ammunition, and they will actively seek out ammunition (and weapons, in fact) in the environment. You may want to check your companions' inventory every now and then to see if they have picked up anything you didn't see yourself.
Okay, I might've run into a bug.
I'm currently rolling with both Boone and Rex, at the same time. I am a purveyor of death across the Wastleland. Is this supposed to be happening?
Also, I have a problem with the BoS Black Mountain Quest.
Help?
Side question, I have asked to join the BoS, but I'm not sure if I should. I do really want the Power Armor though....

I cleared Tabitha out of BM a long time ago, and she gave me her store key (I repaired her robot), now, I need to get to the second floor of the radio room, but I don't have that key .

The key for the second floor is
underneath the staircase to that room in a pile of dirt. You can hack a terminal in the first floor room that gives you that information.
As for the BoS, that is up to you and what kind of alliance you want to make, but there is another way to get access to both power armor and power armor training if you don't want to be their friend.
Okay, joined the BoS (I want them on my side, anyway) and I have a related question.
I had a bunch of T-51 Power Armor from earlier (finding those recon units for the Brotherhood), but I didn't know it was tagged with the Brotherhood. I had a regular suit, which I used to repair the Brotherhood specific suit, and now I only have a fully repaired Brotherhood T-51 armor, and regular almost done T-49.
Now, I want to wear the better armor, of course, but will my wearing the Brotherhood armor negatively affect future dealings with the NCR? I want to peacefully resolves issues between the two (McNamara seems like he's interested in that), will my wearing Brotherhood armor negate that?
If it does negatively affect me towards the NCR, no big deal, I'll just buy more (non Brotherhood faction) T-51 armor from the lady at the bunker.

That's possible, right? Or does helping
Unify all of the applicable factions peacefully, and help the NCR defeat the Legion at the dam. Then, take control of New Vegas for myself.

Yep but I read all of it and keep asking questions from stuff I don`t know though hehe,that`s what I like,amongst other stuff of course,about Fallout..and at the 3rd character,it`s even ironic I guess...
Loving the DLC so far although I seem to have a hard time heading straight to the marker in this section,it`s a little confusing.

So it looks like I screwed myself over.
Man, the consequences of actions do add up in this game!
I'm working on the mission "For the Republic, Part 2" and I'm at the part where I need to deal with the Brotherhood of Steel. Problem is, I want to have them ally with the NCR, but I've already completed "Still in the Dark" and ousted McNamara and there is no dialog option with Hardin to ally with the NCR. The only option is to destroy the BoS. Also, I completed Veronica's sidequest and had her stay with the BoS. So will she leave me once I destroyed the BoS?

No, you do get to pick perks at 32 and 34, as well as stat upgrades at each level 31-35. The "adding" part is from not having new perks for those levels, you still only pick from the same list with one or two new lower-level perks that were patched in.
I have Boone decked out in total Black Ranger armor, he looks awesome. I'm currently doing some missions in and around The Fort (the Khan one, and the House one specifically), and Boone warned me about taking him in there. I left him behind, but I didn't realize that I'd be clawing my way through there :lol .
Side note, do each of the recruitable characters have missions? I stuck with Boone the whole time, but now I'll switch it up (picked up Veronica, sent her to the 38. I think her mission will have something to do with Elder Elijah).
Is there some way to pick up a companion, and quickly trigger their mission? So I can do them all quickly, then get Boone The Boss again?
