    He goes back to his motel room in Novac.

    I have him and 3 others held captive there, going for the companion achievement , I keep the perks while keeping them safe (playing on hardcore so they can die in the wild :mad: )

    I think that is a recipe for a bug/glitch sooner or later :D

    I know i'll have to give
    Ed-d up to get rex

    Do you not lose the perk when you kick them out of the party?

    On my way around to Novac. Should I be worried at this stage which factions I'm pissing off and which ones I'm siding with? I cant seem to go through two side missions and not get vilified by either the Powder Gangers, the Legion or the NCR.

    Also, should I have picked up/come across a party member by now? Pretty much going anti-clockwise from Goodsprings on the map.

    The first companion you'll meet will probably be Ed-e or Boone. Boone seems to be the best from what I have seen. I'd try and stay on the ncr's good side if I were you.

    just passed the quarry there on hard with hardcore and veronica and all ive got to say is holly hell those deathclaws are nasty tore me to bits and i had a sniper and veronica in power armor :( great game though

    yes but why kick them out unless you have to ;)


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 35,087 Mod ✭✭✭✭AlmightyCushion


    You should be able to snipe yourself though, just crouch and take aim, you should get the ''critical hit'' which isn't overly hard.

    I'm up to level 22 now.... I've literally played this game since i got it on Friday.... what a waste of a weekend i taught this morning with college tomorrow :pac: (waste in terms of how fast time went :D)

    Anyone else try this in relation to your first encounter with caeser as part of the main quest....
    i decided from the start i was giving the chip to Mr.House this play, when i was forced into the bunker i saved and taught id go down to the computer server and when i heard him say he knew Caeser would give me the chip i taught they were in cahoots so decided to reload and blast my way out of the camp with the chip.... ballistic fist's kill you quick so it took me a while to get them all... then realised my companion disappeared so reloaded after 30mins of looking :(..... seems i wasn't meant to blast my way out anyway :D...the option came after you entered the bunker.
    btw ballistic fists are worth a mint... was looking forward to selling them until i lost my companion

    I see some people talking about being spending whores.... anyone a saving whore like me?.... i just build caps up and don't like spending them :S..... had to convince myself that buying two guns for 10k out of my 18 was better then having caps on me......

    I was a saving whore. I'd scavenge and steal everything in sight and then sell it and keep the caps. I just spend a ****load on getting some implants though.

    I'm confused. You're only allowed have one companion at a time.

    It's perk/charisma controlled last I recall.

    Everything I've read says that you can only have one human companion following you at a time.

    Everything I've read says that you can only have one human companion following you at a time.

    It's changed now it seems, it's one humanoid and one non-humanoid, along with temp companions for specific quests.

    i read here that the anti materiel gun was the best to take on death claws, so I said I wouldn't go near
    the quarry
    until I had that, and then I'd do the mission for
    chomper over at sloan
    . so 27 hours in.. I finally make my way up to
    gun runners near freeside
    and take in a load of caps by selling a load of crap I stole from a load of people and buy the gun.

    So I go to the location and after about a half hours constant dying I managed to clear them all (including the babies!), I go back to get my reward from the quest giver who is now lying dead a couple of feet from where I last saw him.

    The last ten hours or so of my game has been gearing up towards doing this quest, I really felt for the people of that little camp and I wanted to make sure I was properly prepared to take on the challenge. And the bastard's dead so I don't get any reward.

    time well spent.

    Was the true iron sights in Fallout 3? I had to turn it off last night because I couldn't see sh!t when I was aiming.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 834 ✭✭✭jeawan


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

    What he said run to the first house then hide till firing stops then run to second , always hide at the highest part of the wall .

    Got My Enclave armour last night was rather hard to get what with all the deathclaws but fun in doing do sniping ftw

    Best way to clear them is stealthboy hidden and anti mater gun and snipe at a very long range this way they don't notice you at all i did this and killed them all with out dieing

    Dont think it was in fallout 3. You can change it in the menu so when you aim down the sights you are looking from above the gun and its the standard little x you normally see when firing from the hip.

    Loving this so far. About 20 hours in and I've only done a few quests, just mostly exploring and getting the lay of the land at the moment.

    However, I was doing the "Come Fly With Me" quest last night in the Repconn testing facility and I found a note about a storage room with a safe. Safe password is "R3PCON", but I can't find this room anywhere. Spent about an hour searching for it last night, but to no avail. There's also supposed to be a Hunting Revolver in the building somewhere, but also can't find this. And according to google I'm far from the only one who can't find either :(

    Anyone have any luck with these?

    Is there a level cap of 30 again? I think I'm on level 15 so far, with about 10-15 hours done. Going to steer clear of the main missions now and spend my time exploring. Has anyone managed to find the weapon that went missing from the casino in Primm?

    Does it matter that the robot is dead there actually? And when does the casino open? I waited about a week.

    Side-note: anytime you wait for 24 hours, I always think what it would be like to be an NPC in the game itself and just see some guy standing there, not moving, for that length of time.

    Last mission now, gonna take a break and do some side missions, as I know I will need a certain skill at 80+
    Lanius needs a speech skill of 100 to pass, you want to pass him because he can kill you in one or two hits, my gauss rifle barely scratched him

    Actually does anyone know if the game ends after the last mission like FO3 did before Broken Steel?

    If I remember correctly, the game does end after the final mission but, unlike FO3, they let you know and give you the chance to save before you do it. Can anyone confirm?

    I can confirm that :)

    Just after saying "I'm not ready" to it not to long ago.

    Another reason I'm trying to stay clear of the Strip is my hatred of mini-games.

    I have no interest in playing this "Caravan" game or anything in Vegas. Is it actually any good?

    Mini-games are just tacked on shíte IMO.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I could never figure out how to play Caravan. The rules were just extremely confusing!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,923 ✭✭✭kearneybobs


    Can we please remember to use Spoiler tags. Thanks


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    I could never figure out how to play Caravan. The rules were just extremely confusing!

    Since I set up deck and stopped using a random one I win 9/10 hands :)

    I'm using a deck of 4x of the following cards, 5,6,7,8,9 King,Jack (28 in total)

    Use the jacks to scupper your opponents caravans if they get to high and a king to double up the card it is on ;)

    U need to have each one between 21-26

    Re: Boone quest
    when I found the bill of sale in the hotel safe and let Boone shoot her, when I went back to talk to him I said the only proof I had was a hunch as I didn't want to hand over the bill as it entitles the holder to 1500 caps, and I aim to cash it in. Boone got pissed off that I had no proof and now won't talk to me, have I ****ed up my chance of getting him as a companion now?

    I had done little of the main quest as I really want to explore the map, but I'm loving it. Only one crash and very few glitches on 360 and that's about 6 hours or so in.


    It's really fallout 3.5 though isn't it?
