more dirty blues, gospel and rock oriented than what the game comes with.
That mod soundtrack sounds great; shame it don't seem console compatible.

heh, just noticed we both went with blue moon, but i went with elvis and they went with frankie

lemme know how she plays

thx forks, gonna give this a play tomorrow for sure!

Sweet! Thanks! Now to figure out how to integrate as a straight channel.

Or just play it off of the laptop at the same time, i guess.

Just found the xp glitch in a Camp Golf convo.

Exploiting xp glitchs doesn't feel like cheating; you've beaten the game at its own system, and now it's time to take the rewards.

some of the feelings i get from this game are too real and not fun enough lol. one mission had me lure some guy in front of a sniper. but i got told off for having no evidence. it was quite funny to see the guys head explode as i talked to him, but i felt really shitty when i was told off by the sniper guy.

need to level up before i go lurking into areas with deathclaws, they're sons a bitches but at least i got my egg!

ok wtf, and some possible spoiler talk re the Repcon hq building (the museum)

i managed to access a terminal in there which took my facial information to allow me access to level 1, which was fine and all the robots thought i was authorised. Then on that floor i did the terminal thing again, and it said my facial info was now approved for level 2 but the robot on the next floor just won't have it.

I didn't see that problem - had to hack a terminal on the second floor to get clearance there. Any chance you just misread it, or skipped to the top floor?

when they say level 1 clearance, do they mean floor 1 or ground floor?

ground floor I think. If you go up stairs you need different clearance.

yeah, i got two clearances. i'll check what it says on the doors.

plus side, did lots today and managed to not have one crash. i turned some more settings down, but i put it back in hdr mode and not bloom which i had on previously.

Ste, apparently this REALLY helps out with fps issues:

Haven't tried it myself yet.

ooh ta. i'll check that out later

there's no terminal for floor 3. You have to sneak it. I did it with a Stealthboy. Also, there's an extra-hard terminal up there, so i guess I'll be coming back for this place.

As for the "blasting in the head" scene, keep looking around for evidence. Talk to No-Bark and he clues you in to what's actually going on.

Some of the mission design is awesome; I really like how they figured how out to make a quest from just being a bouncer.

All games need more drinkin', chemin', slavin', and whorin'.

And Primm Slimm.

when they say level 1 clearance, do they mean floor 1 or ground floor?

lol britishes?

there's no terminal for floor 3. You have to sneak it. I did it with a Stealthboy. Also, there's an extra-hard terminal up there, so i guess I'll be coming back for this place.

There are other ways to do it; say, a pulse grenade and a pass in a suitcase.

i think vault 22 is the highlight of the game so far. wish there was more like that and less run around and talk to people about their butthurt problems.

Haven't made it there yet - my highlight was the ghouls with the rockets. Vault 34 sucked.

internal structures seem massive in this one, need to make a map for some of these buildings.

loving this game now i'm free of crashes!

xp ha yes great mission the ghouls with rockets, again i think i completed it the wrong way though what with discovering a navigation control panel just as i was about to launch them. hmm.

Vault 34 is a massive pain in the ass, but the reward at the end is stellar. The ghouls on the bottom floor have been the hardest enemies in the game for me so far... harder than Nightkin or Deathclaws.

Just as an aside, I think this game will be remembered as one of the most progressive AAA titles ever wrt its treatment of gay characters.

and robosexuals

Fisto!

Gave up, bought this on Steam last night, going to try to get some playtime in later today.

We should mention for all PC players that you really should mod the hell out of the game. Makes for a far more entertaining experience.

Tho I still to find the Oblivion-style mod that replaced the moon with an under-construction Death Star.

(crossposting this here from the employment thread, since it fits) I just got back from an interview today, and they want me to start tomorrow, so forks you might get that copy just yet

(knock on wood)

Getting the kooky spacesuit in the ghoul rocket site was fun. I think i'm missing something or a joke with the navigation controls. What was the point of correcting it?

I don't think there's a joke - just an XP bonus for helping them land closer to their goal.

By the ay I'm having to shelve this unless I hear there's a freeze/crash fix. I've had two real crashes, where the system reboots itself, and tons of hard freezes that cause me to manually reboot the PS3. Can't get more then 20 minutes of playtime before I'm restarting. It's a shame - I was enjoying it more than Fallout 3.

Probably jinxed it with all my trouble free talk up thread.

Is it just me, or is Normal mode pretty darn easy when it comes to combat at the beginning of the game? I might have to flip it to Hard, although I usually save that for replays.

I started playing two days ago and I've gone around and picked up a few quests but not finished that many. I've gotten as far as the ghouls in the factory and will have to take care of this Nightkin issue when I go back to the game.

The best thing I've lucked into so far was that I leveled before rescuing the Deputy at Bison Steve's, so the gang leader there had an incinerator. My current strategy for difficult guys out in the wasteland is to shoot them, run around until the fire goes out, and shoot them again. Repeat until dead and crispy.

yes it's really easy at the start, it does get harder though (I've found anyway). Although that might be me not having any better weapons right now, and not levelling up quick enough.

crashing again. may end up just getting this for 360, as pc driver issues are doing my nut in.

I am not playing this game but I thought I would say that the Forks mix is delightful.

Oh Dear God, I just met the Lonesome Stranger and got him a job. the reward is more entertaining than I could have planned, and yet more proof of how much more fun this game is than FO3.

thnx poly

Vault 11! New highpoint.

And yes, I tried again - I just love the game despite being only able to play in 20 minute chunks. 20 minutes, save, quit, reload, repeat.

same

got day off tomorrow, looks like fishing is cancelled. might get to play this for a big session.

That sucks about your console port being so jacked up. I've had some bugs on the PC version, but the most annoying one was EDe going missing during the bomber run.

EZ and Ste, what system u on?

PC

ah ok. i'm working on the assumption that the xbox port will be the most fucked up of the 3...

I would doubt that, considering PS3 would have the least shared codebase with the PC

yes it's really easy at the start, it does get harder though (I've found anyway).

yeah, this is how it was on 3 too. very uneven. I did vault 34 last night and it was rough on normal. by the end I was massively addicted and irradiated. fun!

hardcore is still not that hard btw. very easy to steal supplies.

I like that the vaults are a little more maze like too. can be annoying but adds a little atmosphere if you have to know where to go.

I'm on the PS3. Worse lookups are in towns with lots of people. I'm prolonging my play sessions by wandering all over the place instead of doing Vegas stuff. Of course, bazillions of cazadores seem to cause issues too.

the vegas stuff kinda sucks imo.

I'm wandering around northeast of Vegas and having a blast. Actual quests are overrated.
