Well, I hosed up something pretty bad and I don't know if it's fixable. I squatted at Jeet's for a long time, clearing out his territory entirely, and then went on to Gutgash's territory. I stayed just long enough to get what I needed to open up the Jaw and pass north. I picked up a couple Wasteland quests at Gutgash's place - one from him and one from Glory - but (spoilers for Glory's whole situation) when I got to Pink Eye's stronghold, Glory was randomly tied to Stank Gum's truck and he took off with her. And now she's gone from Gutgash's house and I don't know if I'll ever be able to reach her to continue her quest line despite the fact that after completing her quest the game tells me she has more for me. Am I just completely hosed on that whole quest chain?

I really like the theory that pretty much all of Australia descended into total madness and death, while a few stubbornly tenacious scraps of civilization persisted for a while under the protection of groups like the MFP. Max spent most of his young life in MFP territory so he grew up surrounded by the trappings and habits of the old world, but beyond their borders the chaos of the Wasteland ruled everything. By the time Max ventured out into the wastes, they had been barren and full of absolute loving maniacs for more than a generation, which is why some of the younger inhabitants like Nux don't know what trees are and think "shows" are some kind of space magic that everyone in the world used to casually practice with their ancient technosorcery.

Xenomrph posted:Yeah, the vibe I got from the History Artifacts in the game is that "the apocalypse" was a perfect storm of unexplainable environmental factors leading to mass extinctions/drastic climate shifts/oceans receeding and drying up, with societal unrest due to people not being able to explain/understand what was going on leading to society destabilizing and a bunch of nuclear exchanges (which only helped speed up the world going to poo poo). And random rear end plagues/diseases as well. If it could go wrong it happened.

What if it wasn't an apocalypse and Australia is just an arid shithole and the rest of the world is getting on fine.

I cleared my final camp last night, just as Chum shouted about the STORM OF STORMS, BLACKEST OF BLACK approached.  At last, we can leave.   Also I'm glad Chum is a technomancer and managed to put some target tracking gizmo in the thunderpoon.

I've done all the (non-repeatable) challenges but didn't get the Up to the Task achievement - does anybody know if it is tied to anything else (I figure maybe completing the Death Runs with EVERY optional car type) or if there are just challenges that aren't showing on my Legend tab when I look at it. I looked in the statistics and despite completing the main storyline and every wasteland mission; having collected every scrap, relic & vehicle; clearing every camp; upgrading every stronghold fully; buying every upgrade for Max and the car etc it says I've only done 79% of the game, so I think I might just be missing something that for some reason isn't immediately obvious?

Apparently if you start a new game after finishing the story, you keep your shotgun and jacket. Wonder how hard it'd be to poke this game with Cheat Engine and makes all the story/legend gated bits available for an improvised new game+.

I have a super basic grasp of how cheat engine works, mostly searching and adjusting values to get more stuff  There's got to be a way to flip the story/danger level of areas flags on upgrades, though.Found this table that handles legend levels, though.

While I can access certain things (like griffin, etc.) by doing searches for memory changes, the problem comes in isolating it in a segment of game code. Right now we have hours and hours of reversing in this game, and most of the options that can be achieved by most trainer makers has been done at this point. If you notice not much new has been added by any of us since the initial releases, and this is because of the way the data is stored, and retrieved in memory. Looking around this is the same thing that's going to choke modding out of the game unless people get *real* dedicated. A few simple mods would add so much but it doesn't look likely.

I've beaten the story twice and started new games, got all the way up to where you get to Jeet's stronghold so that Max's upgrade menu is unlocked, and no jacket or shotgun. Do you mean that you get the goods after you complete the main story? Because that's definitely true.

It's not like developers go out their way to make things unmoddable, it's the opposite. Making a game moddable, especially tools to do so, can make everything much more difficult. It is really something that needs to be a design goal at the start.

I know I've done that one, do all doable challenges show up in the legends tab by default or do you have to have unlocked/done particular things to make them become visible? Because right now I've only got a few uncompleted challenges in my list, and they're all ones that you repeat which aren't supposed to count towards the achievement. If I finish up every car variation of the Death Runs and it still doesn't unlock, then I'm all out of ideas on what else I can do.

I hope this does alright in future steam sales, the release timing was just so unfortunate, it's just gotten completely lost in the MSGV hype and the fact they're pretty similar open world styles. I just want to see a sequel where they polish up a few things, it's a pretty good all round game and wouldn't take much to turn into a loving awesome game.

Honestly the bad reviews for Mad Max has done way more for it than if everyone had just said it was  It could easily have been lost in the MGS V release, now it's got more positive Steam reviews than Metal Gear does.

Thanks to Pink Eye, Gutgash and Jeet, this area was doing ok for normals until Scrotus moved in and wrecked the deal they had going. Secure bases, access to good loot from the reclaimed sea floor, it was a good spot. Then Scrotus took over, which became an absolute murderfest by Scrotus' War Boys after he got his chainsaw trepanning. All those corpses and bodies, most like a recent development. Which you're fixing, as you play the game.
