Everything. I installed the underwater vault house with the sorters and the display shelves so it fans the flames of my hoarding. It's just shelves of guns and ammo, or food and drink, or currency, or drugs. It arranges them on shelves and walls FOR ME! How can I resist?

:stare:

Oh man, anything that auto-sorts my obsessed collection of weapons/armor etc is the best. Why oh why don't these games give you dummies to put armor onto? I would love to have one of each armor type for all of the factions to catalog my kills.

I've played plenty and am fairly thorough, I know star caps come off certain NPCs and are found in the environment. So far in 30hrs of this run I have 22, I figured bottles would fill it out, I suppose 5% of 256 is only 12.5ish. This is a pretty annoying quest to complete, why can't it have other solutions like high science to hack Festus or something!

Back on topic, something I've been wondering. Is it possible to max out your SPECIAL legitimately? Implants, Intense Training, Small Frame, Four Eyes, the Lonesome Road perk, various bonuses from clothes/headgear/other perks... I spent like ten minutes trying to work it out and then got bored :shobon:

Logan's loophole + chemist goes a long way towards achieving this. I normally wander around with everything apart from INT and CHA maxed.

It has a shelf that sorts and displays your gold bars, and does in fact have 'manequins' that you can display armor sets on.

If you're worried about losing achievements, just use the console and then close/reopen the game after saving.

If you want to replicate the script using the console, you would use:

set "E7363".iSuppliesStatus to 5
"F2482".SetOwnership e5518

(I haven't confirmed that this syntax will work, I've never used setOwnership before) But this does not guarantee that he will start working since the script may have worked in the first place, but encountered an engine bug or something. The wikia page says that "Contreras never seems to update his inventory or his cap amount before he is imprisoned", although the GECK doesn't mention any inventory changes when that happens; like I said, possibly an engine bug. But all he gets are a handful more chems, including ultrajet (with its incurable addiction). As a merchant, his scripting has some quirks (mostly because it should have been a quest).

I'll look into it more later, I'm thinking the unofficial patch from Ravenmodding might have addressed this.

I'd forgotten how brutal this game was on hardcore.

Using the "unless I die, I don't quickload" philosophy, I lost Cass to a nest of Radscorpions and EDI-E to Cazadores. After that I enlisted Boone, and he became my bro throughout the remainder of the game, snipin poo poo I didn't even know was there, saving my rear end at least a dozen times.

He died fighting Legate Lanius at the second battle of Hoover Dam. :(

I really like the fact that companions can die on Hardcore even though I suspect most people will just re-load their game if that happens.
At times it's bullshit though. When you encounter the Legion or NCR hit-squads, I find it next to impossible to keep my companion alive unless I spot the squads from a long way off in time. They are simply too dumb to avoid the gunfire, the squads have an extremely high damage output and stimpaking your companion just isn't enough.

One little thing that I haven't seen talked about, but which is great, is that each companion get their own little "RIP buddy" slide in the ending if they've died along the way. Really enjoyed that.

You know that happens to quite a few people, I think it's a pretty decent end for the character. He'd be perfectly happy with it.

Well, just finished my first playthrough. I logged 31 hours and only got 25 percent of the achievements, and I had a lot of undiscovered places on my map. My run was pro NCR. I didn't set out to do it (I didn't even know what my options were) but it just kind of coalesced naturally for the character I was playing. I was particularly thrilled that I was able to beat the Legate with the power of my maxed out speech stat, how many games let you take down the final boss by talking it out? I'm really looking forward to playing this game a few more times, and I can't wait to pick up the DLC when it's super cheap for the Steam Christmas sale. What a game.

Fallout 1 was particularly notable for allowing you to "defeat" the last boss by convincing him his Super Mutant future was foolhardy and causing him to commit suicide.

Post-patch, those squads actually only spawn in specific places. In the "good ol' days", they would spawn at Cottonwood Cove and (maybe) Mojave Outpost, then track you all over the place. The engine wasn't great at that, so we (Jorge Salgado) reworked the whole system. There are a healthy number of locations where they will now spawn. Consider them to be "waiting to ambush" rather than tracking you, because they really don't roam that far anymore.

The Legion ambushed me at the top of Helios One. That was a surprise.

Yeah, these are the best two house mods ever. I too use both for various purposes. :3:

However I'm currently tinkering around with my own personal little hideout mod (largely based on Lombard), because even Lombard is a little too spacious and fancy for my slummin' scummin' scav. I just want a dark, lovely little basement with the bare essentials - a bunk, water pipe, modest little machine shop, sorters, and a greatly pared down weapon/ammo rack. Maybe Lombard sized, but without the big two-level weapon/ammo/mannequin room.

GECKin' is fun.

The goon favorite Planescape: Torment and -to some degree- Fallout 2 have this too. Both are made by ex Black Isle now Obsidian teams/designers so there is a pattern here. Reasoning/Intimidating/Lying the poo poo out of final bosses is awesome.

I hope one day for a fallout that takes place around the same era as the first one, in complete 3D with completely destructable environments. Like.. c4 a wall and it's gone. And nut targeting. The next fallout game better well have drat groin as an option when targeting. Especially unarmed and melee.


I mean.. who hasn't played fallout 1 and kick someone so hard in the nuts that the slid across the map....

He's a tribal, an idiot, totally broken over having his dogs thrown onto a bonfire, and not voiced by the guy who played General Oliver - I'm willing to give him some slack. The people in Caesar's tent don't have any of those excuses, though, and they've got gear worth fighting over.

As for people who I kill every time, just about everyone with a name involved in Nelson - I don't think anyone likes being threatened. You'd think Haggarty would think twice about throwing his weight around after you show him you roll with 20+ hits of Psycho, but noooo.... :mad:

I always end up having a run through where I make sure to sneak-murder absolutely everyone who has the same voice as "Default male NPC". You know, the one that drones on and on and has like a hundred characters that do nothing that he voices himself. Not just the ones that talk about nuclear winters either. I swear by the time I was done half the NPCs in the entire game were dead because of that one guy and his annoying mediocre voice acting.

And Fantastic. Now God's sucking his teats, and it feels so good~
