I'm roughly 20-30 hours in and I feel like I lose the urge to play further. Might have to do with, that I played and finished Fallout 1 again not very long ago, but I don't really feel like I can immerse myself into the world. Just doesn't seem appealing to me. The combat is also very shallow and it boils down to the same tactic again and again the whole time. Leveling the party also feels like it doesn't belong into a "real" RPG really. Weapon skill +3 non-combat skills. My whole 4 man squad (don't play with NPCs) is build like that and it's efficient, but also becomes very boring. I don't feel happy when I level up, because nothing ever really changes. I dunno, maybe I need a break, but I'm thinking more and more about just dropping the game altogether. There is just no draw for me somehow. Maybe I'll play Lichdom for a while and see if I feel like coming back.

holy shit 100 hours? that's more the double what i played! and I tried to do every quest i could find, though i likely missed some, admittedly i didn't try and give all the toaster items to people, didn't seem all that worth the trouble.
what ending did you get? is there a way that
nobody dies from the nuke?
Mannerites are hilarious. Its like a crossover between
. A continuous deth.
And seeing how enemies and damage scale in
, I'm not sure if I've been doing the right thing running away from all the random encounters for pure laziness. Maybe I will miss that extra XP.
Judge Dredd and Demolition Man
And seeing how enemies and damage scale in
California
I ran from every single fighting encounter i could, and I by the end i was overpowered as hell, you'll be fine.
Finding this game really difficult. In
, miss more than I hit no matter what the % given is with all weapons, am basically always nearly out of ammo, don't have any money. Followed a guide for making my chars so they should be reasonable enough.
Ag Center, have to save some guys in a greenhouse
Hollywood/Bastion of Faith? I advise you to do the Hollywood quests before going to BOF
I'm still in AZ, I guess it really shows that they only beta'd the first area.
Still, seems like inXile are committed to the game. I don't regret starting the game now, I have encountered a lot of bugs, but I fully support those people waiting.
There's so much mandatory combat that I don't miss the extra battles/xp at all. Game would be damn near unplayable if I didn't invest in Outdoorsman.

I save scum like a mad man when travelling on the otherworld. Go for 5 or so seconds, save, go, save, avoid random encounter, go, save, fail to avoid random encounter, load 
They're really only useful when you're starting out as you can get good weapons long before you have the scrap to do so.
They're really only useful when you're starting out as you can get good weapons long before you have the scrap to do so.It is pretty bad. I didn't invest in it because I figured I could handle a few random encounters, but my god the encounter rate too high and the encounters are all pretty much the same. In any future playthrough I will consider Outdoorsman to be one of the essential skills for the party like perception.

Really enjoying this game but I can never really tell where I'm supposed to go next.

I think you have to have a high enough Charisma level to recruit him. I had the same issue but I only have 1 character with high Charisma.

yep, that was it. many companions have a charisma requirement and I wont dump any of the very rare attribute points in that useless stat just for them.
Hmm, so that's what that is. I would at least like him to react if I didn't have high enough charisma. The encounter feels "unfinished" with him just standing there.

The chance to hit bonus. I also don't know if the rogue reduction is global or not, it's just what I've read elsewhere. Would be easy enough to verify.
It's not. I just did a quick test and it looks like it just goes off the highest leadership.

OK!
45 hours in. Just arrived in LA.
Had zero crashes and zero discernable bugs so far. All quests I got were finished successfully.
The game is huuuuuge. But fun. It is 0:46 AM and I have to go to sleep since I get up early for work. I do want to keep playing though.

Brokered peace between RSM and Rangers. Killed Diamondback militia guys. Dismantled the nuke.

I just picked up an item that broke the fourth wall.
By "global" I didn't mean it was a combined leadership score. I just meant that they didn't have to be within the radius you see when you target the "leadership" icon when in combat of whichever character is giving the leadership bonus. Is that what you just tested? If so, then it seems like that makes CHA slightly more useful in that regard.
Game has so much that feels like it's still in beta form, yet for some inexplicable reason, I can't stop playing. Probably because a) Aside from Dark Souls 2, there hasn't been much for me to care about this year (until Oct/Nov!) and b) it's still a great game despite all of its shortcomings.
Strangely, this game feels more like the old Shadowrun game to me than the current games. The combat is quite X-COM "lite" though. Unless I've just been missing something with my 45+ hours.
In fact, I'm not sure what I am going to do after I finish this. Either play on Supreme Jerk, or play X-COM.

I'm really tempted to start over with all rangers high in intelligence points so I always have more points to spend with every lvl up. I don't understand why each skills requires 2 skills to increase.

The track is special one and can be found in Damonta warehouse.
In the end I didn't even need it to resolve it peacefully though.
My mistake.
Though I just ran a little test and your are right. Leadership's effect on followers going rouge is global and not tied to the radius you get from Charisma.
Damonta is the tougher of the two in my opinion, I found Darwin to be pretty easy.
If you play your cards right, you barely have combat in Darwin. Damonta has SO MUCH combat it's ridiculous.
Well, I've finally completed the game. I think I'm going to need to wait for a patch and re-watch the ending though... some stuff it said I definitely didn't do. Like saying the Topekans were all dead when I got a peaceful resolution in Rail Nomad. Other than that, I was blissfully unaware of most glitches I see people complaining about. Really glad I backed this thing and hopefully I can do another playthrough soon so I can change my choices around and go to a settlement or two that I completely missed but were mentioned in the ending.

I started investing heavily in toaster repair points once I realised that you can get unique items that make quests completely different, or receive special weapons. Giving a certain something to the trader in California who deals only via a bucket yielded the best weapon for one of my characters.
Hmm my ending was that *massive spoilers obviously*
I sacrificed one of my members to prevent Vargas doing it, to which he commends you, and everyone else made it out alive. I did notice that if you talk to Mercaptain at the chopper before arming the nuke, and have Kiss Ass 10, you have the option to just bail out haha... but that surely must've meant Vargas died, didn't end up picking that option. So it seems like at least someone has to go, but I'm gonna try and max out speech skills this time round to see if there's any other possibility

I guess it depends on what level you go there, but I found Darwin to be ridiculously easy. Damonta isn't necessarily difficult either aside from maybe one fight, but nothing in Darwin should really even be able to hit you.
The skills cost more than 2 points after rank 3 and more again after 6 I think, but it's a waste having more than three custom characters with higher than 8 INT ( or a single with 10 in case you don't grab Rose). By the time you hit level 20, you can have a weapon skill maxed and two non combat skills almost maxed. Some non combat skills are vastly superior to others too
lock picking, safe cracking, computer science, medic and weaponsmithing (*but you get a character that already has it to start and can just increase it on them until later...)
toaster, mechanic repair, perception and surgeon
There are also items and manuals that give you up to +2 in a skill, so going beyond rank 8 is risky at best. On my first game I went 4/8/8/10, on my restart I went 8/8/8/1. The melee character with 1 INT really struggles for the first 10 or so levels, but I'll eventually have 10 Brawling, 6 Perception, 8 Demolition and points to spare for whatever else well before the game is over. The main reason to avoid going over 8 INT if you can help it is so you can have 12 initiative and 9-10 AP to start.
Aside from the extremely rare cases, most non combat skills also don't require higher than 6-7 to get at least a 61% chance of success before you reach the halfway point of the game.

Not at all. Well, you will
get into more random battles against raiders without the escort, but that's it. It also doubles the cost of your "tribute", but it's really a non issue, because what you need is all over the place. And a head's up about that too; it's not just located in the first map, so if you're having problems finding what you need, just go to the next area, there will be more.

Game has way to many bugs, can't stop playing tho
Ok stuck again:
I completed Highland first then went to A.G. tower and got the repeater. But the quest keeps telling me to "hook up both repeaters." I can't hook the one in A.G. because it's destroyed and when I go to Highland and click on the radio tower at the top of the elevator damn thing it says it seems to be working properly.
The game is giving me no prompts to do anything else so I'm not sure where to go.

I guess I should of gone into more detail, but yeah with my 3 ARs and 1 Sniper I was never touched in Darwin. The hardest thing was the skill check to get past the gate. So yeah walk through the park easy in my experience, but I have only done it with that set up so can't speak for any other possible builds.
Did you actually use a repeater on the Highpool tower or just look at it?
Do they have anything lowering that stat? Like a status effect or item? Make sure to heal that or unequip the item first.
Best fight in the game.

Man I love all the flavor text on everything in the game, the writing is hilarious on some of this stuff.
Oh my god they brought that back? Fuck yes, I loved examining items and weapons in the original Fallout games just because they usually had some great descriptions that either had awesome pop culture references or were just really funny.

How do I do that? It says quest item in my inventory and when I look at the tower it says something like "it is working normally."
