Okay so I just discovered the shop glitch and now I am buying up all the nukes , missiles and magnum ammo that Flak and Shrapnel has to offer. The rest of this playthrough is going to be so fun.

You should. Hell I should. I lost my discs a couple years ago.Mr.City said:
ok, just need to know. Will I deal with the super mutants or no as part of the story? Meaning do I get to see where they are made? If so tell me I am just fucking running around exploring the world before I finish the main quest.
BTW I just did the
BTW I just did the
Oasis Quest, haha Holy shit didn't expect the thing to be a human stuck inside a tree. BTW what was the correct way to do it? I decided to let him stay alive but made the process of trees growing faster. Talked the tree into giving the treehugers a second chance.

Hey you guys loving the game~ approaching my 40th hour.
I've run outta bobby pins and it's seriously limiting my exploring possibilities.
Can anyone direct me to a few? thanks!

I've found that the best places to find bobby pins are in first aid boxes and in homes (just check the dressers or desks beside the beds).hotsauceiswack said:
If you're ever running low on bobby pins:
When picking a lock, you should exit the lockpick screen after the pin has "wriggled" twice. After that, you can enter it again and the bobby pin will have it's full strength and you will know the position of the sweet spot better.

Killing him is the best. It gives you a perk that gives +5 to damage resistance which is the best of the three rewards. Plus I remember getting some yew charm or something that gives +10 to something. I don't know if it's for all choices or just the one I made.

Same idea works with hacking too. Or if your skill is high enough save and force lock...But that's even cheaper.1cesc said:

often. I've also wiped out towns just for fun and then went back to my regular save.
Started and finished riley's rangers quest yesterday. This was the hardest quest out of all the side quests. Got lost in the subway for around 4 hours trying to get to the location and then the hospital and the hotel it was super mutant galore. My skills are high enough where my regular rifle acts like a sniper rifle, and gives me consistent one shot kills, so I didn't use too much ammo. But still, that was a very long and hard quest.
Jamesfrom818, for what version is that shop trick? pc, 360, ps3?
I hope in the expansion we can buy more properties. All this money and really nothing to spend it on.
Coverly said:
Hmmm I blew through that quest, for me the quest have all been easy it's just getting there that is the hard part. For example, when the guys from Tennpeny tower send you to go kill the ghouls a fucking random ass Super Mutant Behemoth just starts chasing me out of no where. I almost died on that thing, I had to use all my stimpaks plus I don't carry any big weapons so yeah, I fucked him up using my Mines all 100 of them. Hehe.

360
I found it on GameFAQs
What you have to do is find a shop with a weapon or item that you're carrying. Sell the weapon and then buy back the cheaper one. Do that once more and you'll find that the weapon you just bought is fully repaired. If you sell back the fully repaired weapon, you will get the max value for that weapon but when it appears in the shops inventory, its back to its original condition so you can buy it cheap.
There's a youtube video showing how its done and I'd post it but its blocked by my work filter.

I stick with Ranger Armor, easily fixed with Combat Armor and Talon Combat Armor. As for weapons, I usually walk around with Lincoln's Repeater, The Terrible Shotgun, Wazer Wifle, and Xuanlong Assault Rifle

You want to talk "Apocalyptic Proportions"? My primary 1Tb Vista drive failed and it had my Fallout 3 game on which I invested well more than 50hr playing time!!! Godamnnnmmmmmmmit!!!!!!!! I guess I'll play the game through this next time as a badass and kill and steal almost everything in sight.
Sent the drive back and bought a second so I can setup a RAID 1 config so that never happens again. Live and learn I guess.

Non Automatic Rifles are your best friend out on the field. Especially the Lincoln Repeater, Ol' Painless. An interesting thing I've read about both these guns is that they have 0 spread when shot in First Person mode. So when you point at some Raiders head in the distance, it'll probably hit them (barring any motion from said raider). Its perfect for picking off weak enemies and widdling down the HP of Mutants.
Before I returned the game, a deadly combo was the Dart Gun + Rifle. Cripple the enemies legs and then use a rifle to pick them off as they hobble towards you. Close quarters, I would use the Shotgun. Shotgun to the face is usuall instakill on Normal (with good Small Arms skill).

I don't think there is a good way to do Strickly Business.
As for Clover, you need bad karma for her to be your partner.

I feel as if I rushed through maybe? but my playtime was 36 hours........I wonder, did I get a shitty ending?
I kinda wanna go through again and see how much my ending will change
I played the "good role" and I did not infect the Capital Wasteland with Eden's FEV and I went into the irradiated Project Purity room and saved the day.....oh yeah, and Liberty Prime, I freakin' loved that part

Clover does not depend on your karma state, I was good and evil with her as a follower. You basically buy her from the slaver, but you need bad karma level for the option to appear.Coverly said:

You can't really max out a single character, but do remember that there's 19 perks and if you look through the book you'll be hardpressed to find 19 perks you want. So I'd expect to be able to bump your stats another 4-5 points quite comfortably.
Anyway, if you're going to be ridiculously thorough, you want to get 40 in each skill at least. 40+10 from Bobblehead + 25x2 from books = 100.
SPECIAL:
If you want to do melee and plan to use Power Armor, you want a Strength of 7. +2 Power Armor + Bobblehead.
For Perception, you want at least a 5 so you can get the bobblehead, then get the Better Criticals perk. You'd want more than this if you plan on sniping.
High Endurance is really nice, especially on harder difficulty levels.
Charisma is absolutely, positively worthless in this game. 1.
Intelligence - if you don't want to be finding every single skill book in the game, get this high. The earlier you get it higher, the better, though a +1 Int perk is better than a +15 skill point perk if you get it early enough, and it's better than a +10 skillpoint perk even longer. Better to put this high in the start and count on improving a different stat with your perks instead.
Agility is not as imperative as it was in previous FO games, but it's still useful / nice to be sure, and more AP for VATS is definitely nice.
For Luck, there's the lucky 8 ball and the bobblehead and also two more items, the Ranger Armor and the lucky shades (but the shades kind of suck because they take up your helmet slot). So no more than 8 here, 7 if you plan on using Ranger Armor.
Like I said, use intense training to bump up one or more SPECIAL attributes by 4 or more; you'll have the free perks to do this, and then some.

Ok, got clover but I dont think I'll save the game. I was on very good and I had to kill half of megaton to drop to evil status so that I could get her.
For you guys, what follower did you like best? Charon gives me the creeps, clover isn't bad. How do i put armor on them instead of just carrying it? Edit: Nevermind. I was using charon as a pack mule, so i didn't try to specifically put stuff on him.

Instead of giving Crowley the keys I just when to the fort and tracked down the T-51. Badass armor, even with the noticeable loss of agility it has pretty insane DR. Though Ranger armor was pretty good too.
I also have both alien weapons. Finding the blaster was such a cool and creepy moment. Bizarre radio signal, radiation and then Eureka!
The Firelance however was really random. Big explosion in the sky, though I was being attacked. Then I just stumble upon it and all these extra alien power cells. However, I really can't tell any difference between them.
Oh and the route to the Republic of Dave (at leas the route I took) is very fun. I came from the southwest and ran into multiple ambushes and cool events. The radio tower... ;-(
45 hours in though and I'm max level and pretty much done all the quests that have achievements attached (except Those! and Survival Guide). Fantastic, epic game, but it is starting to wind down. But there is still a lot of stuff to explore.

Ok, just got the PC version off Steam, won't play much until Persona 4 is done, but a question
-The game gave me a code/CD-Key and said I'd have to input it, but I didin't get anything like that when starting up the game or beginning a new file. Is it just for something else specific?
