My new favorite Monster Brew glitch is probably with this character from Skyrim: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Njada_Stonearm Besides having the usual problem with all trainer-followers, where you can recruit her as a follower after training, ask her to hold some things for you, and take back all of the money you spent on training, there's also this: quote:She may become permanently hostile towards you at random, and cannot be killed.

Putting my weapons away did nothing, nothing could end her fury.

It almost feels like that should play as a horror game. An unkillable enemy who doggedly, tirelessly follows you across the province. Appearing where you least expect her and stabbing you in the back. Suddenly waking you up when you try to sleep. You turn and see her in the far distance, ceaselessly jogging across hundreds of yards of open field to catch up. You can't kill her or trap her. Only stun her and run, delaying the inevitable.

She's not easy to kill accidentally unless you're a wizard and in a huge melee, but she is very easy to kill intentionally. She only has the sort-of "essential" marker that followers get, where hostile things force them into the invincible "submit" state, but you can kill them by murdering them again when they're in that state. Njada is legit essential, though, because Companions quests involve her.

I'm getting bored with my current New Vegas playthrough- over level 20, 50k caps, no discernible threats left on the planet- so I'm going to restart as melee, which I've never done before in a Fallout game. This should be interesting!

The best bug in Fallout 3 is when a Super Mutant corpse clips through a door or something, and you can stretch the corpse out like salt water taffy when you open/close the door. This is often accompanied by the "eternal seizure" where a corpse flails around at hypersonic speed, in defiance of the laws of conservation of energy.

Not a Bethesda game, but the original Mass Effect tended to do this to me in the Benezia boss fight because of all the biotics hitting Shepard simultaneously. Games are great.

Can't carry my burdens if she's dead!

Real talk- I can't play New Vegas without a stutter every few seconds (I AM WELL AWARE OF THE MOD TO FIX IT, it doesn't do anything for me for some reason)- will FO3 be any better? I don't know why Steam isn't showing my copy anymore. Kinda frustrating. Maybe I had disks before Steam was big? I don't remember, it's been a while..

Lotish posted:Not a Bethesda game, but the original Mass Effect tended to do this to me in the Benezia boss fight because of all the biotics hitting Shepard simultaneously. The worst part of that arena was the tiny space between the wall and the railing around the perimeter. Either you would get slammed so hard by a Biotic attack it would force you into it and you'd have to reload to get out. Or some enemy would find a way to fall into it and be unkillable because of the invisible wall or the floor protecting them. Forcing you to reload and do the fight all over again. At least in Fallout you can use the console commands to free yourself and force kill other characters when the need arises.

There are story reasons for the settlement building. Your gender will be important at times.

So scenes play out differently depending on whether you are playing the game as male or female.”

Father Wendigo posted:"One of the things that people always complained about with Fallout 3 was how long the tutorial section inside Vault 101 took. After a lot of brainstorming over games of Minecraft, we realized the problem: people weren't spending enough time in the tutorial to realize how great it really was. We're not making that mistake twice!" Bethesda games always seem to have long unskippable tutorial sections and people always make mods to skip them, but Bethesda never learns and do it anyway.

So is the save file every game drops at the end of the tutorial section, where you are also given the chance to change any aspect of your character, not enough for some people? You can just load that any time you want to start a new game.

After making your character and exiting your house, you get on a bus and go for a 7 minute ride through 2077 suburbia to get to the vault. No saving, no skipping, just listening to your spouse complaining about not having enough time to pack and intermittent QTE to stop your baby from crying. If you fail too many the driver stops the bus to complain and you don't arrive at the vault in time and have to start over from the character creation screen.

I suspect that was either a typo or the person who wrote it just didn't check their facts. In the E3 stage demo our Lord and Savior T. Howard, may his magnificence reign forever, mentioned that the game starts on "a beautiful Saturday morning, with the threat of nuclear war looming." It just so happens that October 23, 2077 is a Saturday. You're probably locked in your home for 30-40 minutes doing things to teach you the basics of the game before you trigger something else that ushers you to the Vault. Which you conveniently live down the street from.

You are actually taught how to craft by being the stubborn do-it-yourself member of the family that refused to let some robot fix poo poo in your home. Like "borrowing" pieces of the neighbor's fence to repair your baby's cradle or helping Ol' Charlie brew some Moonshine Nuka Cola in his bathtub, there are a few toys you can make for yourself that somehow survive the Apocalypse for you to pick-up and use 200 years later in the future. Although building up the Suburb too much makes sure you wake up to find some odd new neighbors once Rumpelstiltskin wakes up like Stinky Joe the ex Raider Boss.
