Nope, just shove some Rad-X into you and skip through the green muck

Thanks for reminding me to go get fawkes before what I'm attempting to do.

Giving Fawkes my minigun and a buttload of ammo and stimpacks.

I'm pissed. I tried to mesz the girls in Tenpenny and then rob them of their cloths so they would have to go around in their underwear all the time and I can't get it to work. Worst game of the year.

^ I like the way this man thinks

muckhole · « **Reply #1924 on:** January 06, 2009, 01:02:08 AM »

Finally finished the game. Now I'm going to go back and get the last handful achievements I can, although it appears the "Trouble on the Homefront" quest is borked for me. I can't get the radio signal.

And yeah, the ending was a tad weak after all that. Still my favorite game this gen though.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #1925 on:** January 06, 2009, 04:54:30 AM »

Got all the bobble heads, now I just gotta beat the game and its 1000/1000. I was lucky and not one quest bugged out on me.

Whats the goss on the DLC? Whens it out and is the gamerscore getting jacked straight to 1250 or will there be several installments?

demi · « **Reply #1926 on:** January 06, 2009, 05:09:22 AM »

There will be several installments, the first batch will probably just add 100

The Sceneman · « **Reply #1927 on:** January 06, 2009, 05:11:32 AM »

hope its not too expensive then

actually I dont care, I'll still buy it all. Such a great game

the dlc sounds pretty cool, killing chinamen in alaska

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #1929 on:** January 06, 2009, 06:01:44 PM »

I hate how it's the last DLC that is going to expand the level cap. I lost like a 1/3 of my will to play this game after I hit 20. :'(

Yeah, there was a lot of trippy/funny shit that you shouldn't take too seriously in the game, which came as a very nice surprise for me, expecting something all serious and stodgy. The best was still

what do i do with this holotag anyway? i want power armor

The Sceneman · « **Reply #1940 on:** January 08, 2009, 01:52:50 PM »

you can give the holotag to someone in the Citadel once you get let inside. I dont know what you get becuase I never bothered to do it

also you can learn how to use power armor once you get inside the citadel. Its around 2/3 into the main quest

Brehvolution · « **Reply #1941 on:** January 08, 2009, 03:05:10 PM »

Collect all the holotags you can from the fallen BoS. You give them to a lady who catalogs them. She gives you caps or meds for each holotag.

They're a splinter faction of the regular Brotherhood. They disagree with the BH's current mission. You can get deets at the Citadel

finally did the tennpenny towers quest tonight, and got back the bill of rights. tenpenny towers is awesome for speech successes, i think had 5-6 just from trolling the residents about ghouls moving in

re: the quest about that dudes keys

spoiler (click to show/hide)

is there any way i can get tenpennys key without killing him? i stole some key off him but i dont think it's the right one. then he offered me 700 caps to kill the same dude. i only have tenpennys and dave's key left.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #1952 on:** January 10, 2009, 11:21:02 AM »

I don't think it makes any difference if you kill Tennpenny. I did it, and nobody in the tower even seemed to notice he was gone.

Crowley says a key isn't necessary for Tenpenny, since "he'll hear about it eventually."

PS: You should try talking to the other ghouls in Underworld about Crowley's scheme.

tennpeny has no keys. I think daves key is the only one you need for really cool stuff.

the only real difference is the leader of the establishment will now be Gustav, plus the actual Tennpenny Tower mission will get a bit more difficult.

Fuck, with this patch, I'll hopefully finally be able to do the "Trouble on the Homefront" quest.

Bildi · « **Reply #1970 on:** January 13, 2009, 08:14:38 PM »

I think I accidentally skipped some of the main quest because I wandered off to Rivet City and spoke to Doctor Li before going to the radio station... doh. Hopefully I can go and do the quest bits I missed.

I was a bit worried at first because I wasn't enjoying the game after leaving the Vault. After a few hours wandering the wastelands I decided to re-do my character which I don't think I've ever done in a game.

I also didn't really twig at first how important VATS is. Since it's still rolling dice even when I'm aiming perfectly I gave away the real time stuff and started using VATS 95% of the time - and for me the game improved immensely at that moment.

Hooked big time now.

Still waiting for a patch for that bitch at the Regulator ranch. I've attempted to get that lawbringer perk several times now and everytime I've gone out to that ranch I've been attacked by giant radscorpions or some other nonsense which then sends the leader of the regulators running off into the surrounding wasteland never to be seen again. I've got hundreds of fingers but no one to sell them to.

I think I went there briefly on my previous play - the soldiers seemed to wipe a lot of the super mutants out while I cowered in the corner. Now that I'm leveled up a bit I should be able to join in more.
