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.

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. :maf

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

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?

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

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

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

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.

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.

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. :(
