Just got this and played a couple of hours to get the hang of it last night. I'm curious, though. QUESTION: It says in the creation screen that males and females could be treated differently by different people in the wastes? What's the extent of this? I had an awesome Idea for an all-female or mostly-all-female team of rangers, but I don't want to potentially kneecap myself and accidentally remove some options

Verviticus posted:thats nonsense because you can flip between chars mid-conversation as much as you want Okay cool- I figured it was just nonsense. Thanks! I just wanted to make sure making an all female squad wouldn't cut off any options or dialogue for me.  The game is super awesome so far- I just had to get back into the mindset for the controls after all these years of not playing Baldur's Gate, etc.

SpicyMeatSandwich posted:2. Seems like the description was attached to the wrong weapon. The game works fine for me!  Well, as far as I've played anyway. Other folks are bumping into issues. Thing is, it *just* got released to the world and there's now a patch out to clean up a fair number of outright bugs and balance a few things here and there. I suspect the programming team still has some maintenance programmers on staff that will be working long hours to clean things up. It may take a full month of patches but the game is fully playable now and I don't think you need to wait around. As for Herbicide, look at it - it's an energy weapon. Anything with 2 Armor or above it's going to knock down pretty hard. After you finish the Ag Center you're going to bump into a bunch of dudes who are going to hate your pew pew space laser. The horrible green foliage you can't blow up? Stop wasting ammo on it like I did. It all melts away after you completely finish the Ag Center. Just remember what parts are blocked so you can go back. If you don't want to bother, just head there later on, the safes and crates will still be around.

Save really, really often in Hollywood. It's a massive mess with broken triggers, multiple copies of the same person roaming around, and a complete lack of responsiveness to what you do. Kill somebody in the first 5 minutes of getting into the area because you walked down into a sewer? Nobody cares! Or mentions it ever.

The patch has made it literally unplayable for some rare people, because something under the hood just shits itself a couple of minutes after launch.

arizona is all about just being kicked in the balls from start to finish and california feels the exact opposite, like you're making headway in a warzone, and then you get to hollywood and you realize, gently caress hollywood *flies back to arizona* also i really like the voice acting for matthias and mr manners - not that its particularly good acting but they just both have such weird cool voices Verviticus fucked around with this message at 05:07 on Sep 29, 2014 |

Kenshin posted:How the loving hell do I beat the ambush at Whittier?! Take your armour off. The most dangerous enemies are armed with energy weapons, which don't hurt (much) if you're naked. Then prioritise anyone armed with a conventional weapon (your big three threats are the Synth, the Heavy Gunner to the right, and the Lobber to the left).

Some of this game's art direction, oy. The Ag Center is a nightmare on my eyes, I turned texture quality down just to make it less horrifying to squint at. Whoever designed the environments apparently never read the memo from the guy who designed the engine that was titled "Most Players Will Be Constantly Zoomed Very Far Out".

To get into the prison, I can't find a track for the robot (which, I assume, kills the turrets). I've tried the radio tower, like the one where ace was killed. Where else should I check?

I don't have a chance to fix the robot yet but if they haven't changed it too much since the beta you need to know where to get some rad suits in the prison before Vargas will mention that some weird robots are hanging around the radio tower. I assume all you have to do is go there, kill the robots, pull a track from one of their corpses, and head back to the prison to fix your robot.

You get the item you need after you finish the main portion of Damonta. It won't drop randomly.

Nothing to do with Gameplay, but I was making portraits just for the hell of it, if anyone'd like some custom ones.

OK I'm in the canyon, near to checkpoint 3 and I've found a blocked wall that looks like it leads to a mine because there's an abandoned mine cart outside. How do I get in? None of my skills work (they all say invalid target} and neither does trying to blow it up. edit: nvm! found the object that controls the wall.

heres a cool example of every single quest in hollywood you come across two people who need help clearing out a store of roaches. you go in and there are no roaches, just a friendly npc who joins you instead. you go out and say "i did the thing" and they go inside later you need them to do something for you and they go "ok ill do it, but first you have to clean out my store of roaches" while they are STANDING IN THE STORE. close convo, open convo, "i did it" "great! we'll help you" this is the least bugged quest in the zone

Mr. Lobe posted:(still griffith's park) Make sure every hostile is dead both inside and outside the Bastion, including the guy guarding the tower gate, and also make sure you talk to the penitents and free them. I had to talk to Luis Bermudez (I think was the name) twice, one time he ignored me and the second time he thanked me for freeing them and they walked out. Once I did that the quest updated to say nothing is standing in the way of peace anymore and I should head to the chapel.

Possible dumb question: where/when do I get the quest to go to the mines? I think Vargas mentions it in one sentence somewhere but no one has placed it on my map. Currently I'm on order to return to the Citadel, I've just finished Damonta and omw to clear Prison before returning. Is next stop the mine or have I missed it?
