    Coping with pack-rattery

    After some more playtime and a lot of exploration, here are my recommendations: Use your fridge to store your trail supplies... I mean use ED-E, ed-e! Essential Perks: Travel Light (4) Hand Loader or Vigilant Recycler (6) Pack Rat (8) (Seems no brainer at first glance but it may...

    Characters, the good and bad.

    I want to add my bit about companions and the Kings too. With the exception of Sunny (who was a bit abrupt and sufferd from "the tutorial npc companion!!!" syndrome), all of the companions that I have met (temp or perm) were acceptable and believable. The perm. companions all had their...

    Non Combat Resolution Prevalence?

    Actually, the beginning companions in the game (Boone and ED-E) are surprisingly good at cleaning the countryside for you (thanks to ED-E's highly irritating kiting and Boone's headshot fetish) which helps a lot if you are a non-combatant / merchant type of character. Ironically, I...

    The neat little touches

    AWildmann: How??? It might be my personal play style, but everytime I get to a new town via the road, I find a place to temporarily stash my loot and search the countryside. (thou I went west from Helios 1 to hidden valley -> black mountain then north to Sloan then east to 188) I just arrived...

    Neutral Path?

    If you are lucky enough to get a silencer for the varmint rifle (and scope if you are extremely lucky) , you can execute the gangers without loosing any rep with them.

    Legion/BoS war (Expect spoilers)

    The main problem BoS paladins have is their extremely limited numbers. They probably have less than 100 or 120 PAs deployed in the field (in the Mojave). They can hold ground and kill all year without taking any damage but 120 (best case estimate) men are not enough to cover any decent patch of...

    The sniper rifles are so powerful it makes me cry.

    I also agree that the setup is ridiculous and munchkin (and I don't actually play such builds) but it doesn't change the fact that you can get; +5 (Party time Mentats) +1 (Mentats) +1 (Bounty Hunter Duster or Sexy Sleepwear) +1 or +2 (Various alcoholic beverages) +1 (Implant /...

    Making Energy Weapons work

    Side note: Unlike other 4, Explosives are not a first line combat skill. It is more of a supplementary skill that you put a bit in it for occasional uses (a grenade here, a mine there or a disarm somewhere...). *You need about 50 for quests and 55 or 60 for end game disarms As far as I...

    Making Energy Weapons work

    chewie: There is already energy "AP" ammo types present in the game; the overcharge and max charge. (Over Charge x 1dt x 1.25dam x 1.50cond crafted from 1.5 regular ammo) (Max Charge x 1dt x 1.75dam x 2.50cond crafted from 2.5 regular ammo) If their effect (and only their)...

    Making Energy Weapons work

    Actually, the main problem with the energy weapons are caused by the absence of "AP ammo" due to DT mechanics. As it stands now, in damage calculations, every damage multiplier is applied after DT is subtracted from the base damage (Which is modified only by skill) (Ironically this also means...

    The sniper rifles are so powerful it makes me cry.

    The problem is the absence of alternatives. You have Recharger Pistol for the vermin, Pulse Pistol for a few select enemies (Have to admit it makes robots a cakewalk), Gauss Rifle (5MC per shot) Weapons like plasma defender, RCW and any unique variant are fun but at the end of the day...

    The sniper rifles are so powerful it makes me cry.

    Haven't used explosives or meele/unarmed yet but from my experience (and a couple of threads I read) I can safely say that Energy weapons are broken atm. Ammo is heavy, most weapons use more than 1 per shot and thanks to wonky mechanics of dt, it is applied to base weapon damage ignoring all...

    REAL minimum system requirements

    zkylon: The game suffers from the Oblivion bug of inflation so you may want to quit and restart the game now and then. The clean cache allows much smoother game in hectic parts. MaToX: I have a similar system (2gig ram, 320 mb 6800) and the game isn't too bad. As I said above, I need to...

    The sniper rifles are so powerful it makes me cry.

    vanzizzle (Page 3): If you were aiming from behind, you probably hit his rifle and damaged it severely or destroyed it. The hit box for that seems a bit abscure on manual aiming.

    Coping with pack-rattery

    Personally, I prefer the Goodsprings for my stash (for the first parts of the game untill I move up north.) Drag the 3 boxes (right across the Bar's backdoor, next to the back of the general store) to the middle of the benches and you are done. Victor's house (the desk) is also a nice stash...

    Classified US military video depicting slaying of civilians

    *Sander; the person identified as RPG carrier was the Reuters correspondent carrying photograph machine. Reuters has been trying to get this footage (info on how he died) for about 3 years and they were being stonewalled. That little piece of information is what makes this incident, a...
