The platinum chip has disappeared from my file (Steam/PC version)
I gave it to House for "the house always wins part 1" quest but now I can't complete part 2 because House never gave it me back. When I talk to him he just goes go back to the hill and that is it.
Anyone else ran into this glitch? Anything I can do to fix it like a console command to give me another one. (I don't have an earlier save file to use)

Yeah I did give it to him in the first quest, went down to the basement and he showed me they results. Then that was that and he told me to go to the Hill.
Been looking online and this seems to happen if you
kill Caeser before he give you the quest to go underground. I killed him because he was aggressive the moment I stepped into his tent. (I had negative reputation with them even after getting the Mark, I used a legion outfit to get past but the dogs inside his tent sniffed me out making him aggressive so I killed him.
Thanks though, will use that command now.
question:
I am on the 'For the Republic: Part 2" just before I'm guessing I start to lock out the other endings. If I KILL Mr. House before I do anything else, is that a big deal? I tried to do something and his bots turned hostile so I killed them all, found House and killed him too. Don't know if I should keep going or load up an earlier save.
I have nearly immaculate Karma, everyone loves me, have been a nice guy to all my companions, killed Caesar already for lulz, hmm... I just don't know.

The securitrons in the Lucky 38 Penthouse will
always go hostile, though I'm not sure if you can sneak/stealth past em while accessing House's private room; the alarm will always sound as soon as you unlock his room. Not sure if you can shut them down with the perk prior to it though.

Is Raul's companion quest bugged to hell and back? I've listened to all his back stories on his past, but the game won't let me make a decision for him (
). It seems like he's trying to say something to me, but the game won't allow me to make a decision. Like, the game zooms in like Raul is getting ready to talk to me, but quickly zooms out and the game goes on.
EDIT: I think it's bugged and the only fix I think that will work is this one
like if he should go back to his old ways of gunning down thugs or accept his age and work on machinery

I didn't do any of that. All I did was load the game from my last game and started to walk. It was like my character could barely move. And no, he isn't heavy, he doesn't have much on him.

Yeah, the quest is bugged. It'll work sometimes, and sometimes it won't. I can't get him to open up the final piece of dialogue either, kind of killing the purpose of my "completionist" playthrough.TheUsual said:
And even though the patch notes say it's fixed, I STILL can't drop Motor-Runner's helmet from my inventory.
EDIT: And the game still crashes like a drunk pilot. Nice job on the patch there, OB.

It's a shame you can't OD her, but I guess you can't use Super Stims on your companions.
I had started the game way back when it came out, but got sidetracked. Finally getting back to it, starting over, using this setup sans texture mods and everything looks so much better to me. Excited to dive back in.

Aeana, make sure you stop by the mods thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=426315
The VCC mods are pretty nice but I do think that the cinematic DOF is way too distracting to play the game with.

Ok, was in one of the casinos here doing some quest, and suffice to say I lockpicked into some room in stealth mode, didn't see any NPCs in the close area, but apparently they noticed me. I left the room and wasn't aware of that, went along and have been doing a few things. I tried to progress a quest in there and now all the people just jump me with crowbars to death. I tried finishing the quest and upping my rep with this particular casino family, but they still bludgeon me to death on sight. Is there any way to make these fuckers forget their aggro or do I need to either A) load back quite a ways or B) just ignore them constantly and have to dash around if I want to do any quests here? White Glove. Or are there any quests beyond the basic ones available here anyway?
So my game must be glitched.
What now?
Commander Moore wants me to either eliminate or enlist the Great Khans. I've already taken care of them in a previous mission where they broke their alliance with the legion. I can't get them to enlist. The FAQS say kill Papa Kahn in his room late at night when nobody is watching and speak to that other guy about joining the NCR, only the option doesnt come up when I tried that. When I speak with commander moore, she just asks if I took care of them

None of those options are available to me. When I first encountered the Khans during the Yes Man side quest, I went through that with Regis in terms of trying to convince him and the other Khans to tell Papa to drop the alliance. He told me he'd rather have the NCR than the Legion, but that was prior to this. Now those conversations don't come up, but the game acts like I never had them to begin with.
Does this sound like the problem?truly101 said:
If you have already completed Oh My Papa quest when you speak to Colonel Moore it will be impossible to get the conversation option with Regis to ally with the NCR. You will not be able to fool the game into thinking this quest part is complete either because you cannot return to Colonel Moore to tell her that Regis is prepared to ally with the NCR (Tested on PC version). Fix: Open console and type "resetquest 00140c3a" to restart Oh My Papa quest and finish it the way you want. This will enable you to progress in this quest. (This can also be fixed by simply killing all members of the Great Khans in and around the encampment.)
In Old World Blues:GuiltybyAssociation said:Beat Dead Money. Had heard mixed things, but I was quite impressed with it.
Killed Elijah and Dean. I loved Christine and God, didn't want to hurt them. I wanted to take Christine with me, actually ... come back to me, gurl.
Christine will return in that DLC, whether it's a flashback, video footage or something else. New voice actor though. She either got her original voice back or it's something from her past time there before she got slaughtered in the auto doc.
I was a lil bummed you couldn't reunite her with Veronica.

These new DLCs need to hurry up so I can do another playthrough and Bethesda can start working on Fallout 4 with the Skyrim engine.

I am too. I'm liking it a lot more than I thought I would coming out of Fallout 3. I think in Fallout 3 I made a lot of bad choices for my characters and I really struggled in the combat. I ended up not finishing it, and then my game got stolen, but I really didn't miss it. In New Vegas I think I took what I learned from Fallout 3 and improved. Also it just seems like New Vegas is easier. Almost every fight I had in F3 would result in me almost dying, but that's definitely not the case in New Vegas.O.DOGG said:
Now that some of the technical hurdles have been cleared, I am enjoying this a lot more. I am 20 hours in right now, which is longer than it took me to get to the final encounter in Fallout 3, and I don't think I'm going to be pursuing the next major story mission for a while. I have about 20 quests open at the moment, and the way one thing dovetails into another is frequent and well done. That happened a few times in Fallout 3, but it seems to be more frequent here.
I became aware of the location of a particular Vault thanks to the Wild Wasteland perk prompting me to speak to a canine you meet in Freeside who can become a companion. Combined with having Boone as a companion as well, I have a sniper covering me from the back, and a dog running out in front into the big fights. I just finished two consecutive trips to
to clean out every medical aid, weapon, and piece of clothing that had stat attributes. Managed to
, which I'm guessing is part of a mission I haven't even been given yet. I don't know why the Fiends were not attacking me in there after killing a few dozen of them outside, but I won't need to be buying any health supplies for the rest of the game.
So far, I'd have to say this is better than Fallout 3's campaign. The faction allegiance system is a lot more interesting than the Karma system as well. I just wish there were not as many potentially game killing problems to have to hop around.

Are there any ghostly apparitions in Dead Money that I'm not aware of? I was heading for the police station, no weapon equipped, when I suddenly noticed a "friendly" blip on my radar. I see the shape on an NPC stepping through the buildings, and I quickly press the VATS button to find out who it is. Just as my weapon appears in my hands, the NPC steps behind a wall. VATS doesn't get activated, and the blip disappears. I've looked all over the district, but found nothing.
Kinda creeped me out. :lol

Yeah this is definitely the case. The PS3 version of FO3 ran pretty respectfully for me. I froze about 7 times in ~100 hours. Yet others have had major issues.broham said:
The PC version of NV has had one quest bug, but I can't recall a single issue I've had that would be technical. It also runs so damn nicely compared to the PS3 version of FO3.

Always use Project Nevada, playing without a sprint key is for smelly people.

I've played through both FO3 and NV without mods, and they are both great games, NV particularly. The thing for me is that I love playing Fallout with mods so much that it becomes a near religious experience. Mods like Fallout Wanderer's Edition and Project Nevada (both by the same dudes incidentally) which significantly up the ante as far as damage and survival and more or less force you into role-playing as a result have lead to some of my most memorable gaming experiences.

Personally, I was sort of unimpressed by Fallout 3. The gameplay felt kind of one note. Just shooting super mutants in the head with a hunting rifle over and over again, you know? And I felt the writing was somewhat inauthentic compared to the first two Fallouts and frankly just kind of poor. The retro-futurist '50s parody thing was played to the hilt at all times without much subtlety. One note. It kind of felt like fan fiction rather than a real carrying of the torch from the first two games. So I got bored/frustrated with it in about 20 hours.
After initially skipping New Vegas for those reasons back in October, I took a chance a few weeks ago and bought New Vegas when it was on sale over at Direct2Drive for $10. Probably my best purchase this year. So much of New Vegas is exactly the same as FO3, but the total product feels much more refined and intelligent.The plot is better, the characters are more interesting, the callbacks to the first two games are more subtle and better implemented, and there's a legitimate reason for the world to look like a desert.
My favorite addition is the hardcore mode. Being forced to consider ammo weight and thirst and being unable to immediately heal myself when I take stupid chances makes decisions more meaningful and thus more fun. It's really a testament to how the tiny details can add up to make or break the experience.
And finally, a question. Are there any mods that add mirages to the graphical effects for the landscape? The Mojave at high noon should sport some serious optical distortions.

great post Pyrrhus. avoid argos and all that.
I too felt that Fallout 3 really didn't "get" Fallout at all, they just took basic ideas and exaggerated them to a ridiculous degree thinking that "Oh Jee Sport!" retro futurism was supposed to be ever present and comical, in Fallout 1 and 2 it was subtle and definitely used to create an eery, surreal atmosphere.
Fallout isn't about combat, yet 3 was basically just a vats shooter game.
The towns were essentially theme parks, nothing more.

Thanks for the video. I've set aside the points for this already.
I'm just glad that I'm still being entertained by what is by far my favorite RPG of this generation. Over 100 hours in New Vegas, and I still haven't even reached endgame once!
