deathclaws though... ive tried about nine, ten times to clear out

the quarry

of deathclaws, managed to get about six of them once.. but then the alpha male saw me and I just got molested.

Mines, mines and more mines. I spent longer setting up my "kill zone" than actually killing them once you stop them running they quite easy. I sniped the 3 sleeping outside stuck on stealthboys and placed around 20 mines at the entrance then started to bring them towards me. Wasnt many left by the time daddy came out altho i did have to snipe a few to get their attention. The kids took one shot each leaving just mammy on her own.

Also a companion/decoy or 2 gives you a bit of time to change your weapons mid fight.

I went up to

the quarry and stayed on the cliff. The death claws cant get you one your elevated. The down onto the excavating building the ramp that you have to jump on and shot from there.

Anyone get the

raygun

I forgot how good it was

Grayditch

I only have my science at 26, so maybe that's the issue, but when I try hack a Very Easy terminal, the screen goes blurry with no info on it. I can hear the computer typing the command line or whatever and when I press up and down on the D-pad, I can hear the click sound as if I'm scrolling through options. But sill nothing ion the screen. Any idea what's going on there? Playing on PS3.

Is there anyway to breathe underwater for more than 20 seconds? Any scuba gear or something:)

To modify a weapon, select the weapon in your inventory, hit left bumper. That will bring you up a list of attachments that you posses for that weapon. A to add one, B to back out of the screen.

Ammo types are changed with the D-pad.

if you have the pc version, select the weapon you want to upgrade, press X and choose from whatever mods you have for that particular weapon.

The Varmint Rifle can be absolutely awesome when its got a few mods on it

After my amazon order arrived this morning I played three hours of it. Crashed to desktop. Didn't lose too much. Just after

untying the deputy from the hotel in Primm

. Feels very exactly like Fallout 3. Like it very much so far.

They don't seem to explain the new mechanics etc very well. If I hadn't played Fallout 3 before this, I would find it hard to know what does what.

Finally got my hands on a full set of T51b power armour and a Gauss Rifle, trouble is the helmet doesn't go along well with the Four Eyes trait, maybe there's some mod that adds the helmet to the list of glasses.

Anyone know the best way to approach the boomers location. I get shot to bits everytime and the tip i bought of that guy on the road isn't very helpful.

Hide in the houses until they stop firing, then move onto another house until you reach the fence.

Tip worked for me. 1st time ran along the cliff face and only took one hit. 2nd time did what he said and i found a line that was safe all the way in heading NW but staying on the left side of the buildings so only a few feet between you and cliff.

Can the mods be purchased or are they created?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

how do I cure an addiction? I went to the doctor in good springs but there was no dialogue option for it. I had just taken some fixer, so maybe that was why? do I have to be actually suffering the effects of withdrawal to be cured?

Purchased.

I got the incinerator but it was broken and nobody seems to be able to repair it.

What about those weapon repair kits you can pick up? Would they work?

At least the game has a manual - it explains things in brief which are not covered all that well in the tutorial.

You purchase them. They are named things like ".357 Revolver Long Barrel" or "Combat Rifle Extended Mags"

I usually do read through the manual before I sit down to play a game. One of the first times I actually forget to, and I regret it.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

just found a pretty lolzy bug

it's in the train tunnel, near vault 34. it's a short little tunnel, but there's a small room about halfway down which is there.. graphically, but if you go near it you just fall straight out of the map and respawn at the other end of the tunnel. it reminded me of the +noclip days in quake, I wonder why everything outside of the map is always purple.

Strong Back perk is the way to go if playing on hardcore, hell even if your the type that just likes to carry everything with you and not stash it. Made hardcore a hell of a lot less troublesome for me.

Creature

I hate ED-E but I need the extra inventory space badly. Are future companions more combat savvy or do they all get killed by 1-2 hits? Or if its a Deathclaw he comically explodes after the first swipe lol.



Also where do I get weapon mods? The only one I've seen so far is the 10 mm silencer sold by the guy in the gift shop in Novac.

dreamers75

Gun Runners had the best of gear from all of the shops, Mick and Ralph have goodies too (also hold out weapons) but you need speech to get them.

SeantheMan

Is it just me or do you only get to select "perks" after every 2nd level up ?

I can assign points after each level up, but only use the perks part after every 2nd level.

Is this a glitch in my game, or is it the general way ? Also, anyone know what the level cap is ?

Sorry if this has been posted already, just used to fallout 3 being able to get a perk with every level

They only repair the item you currently have equipped. But because it's broken, I can't equip it. I think that's what I get for using grenades to solve my problems.

It's meant to be that way. I think someone said before that FO3 was something like a new perk every 3 levels or something.
