Another entry for the thread is actually in Thousand Year Door. One of the final parts involves tracking down an NPC, which has you backtrack to every major location in the game because you always "just missed him".

And then there's a side quest that makes you do the whole thing again.

And that, as much as anything else, led to my drinking problem.
I finally managed to scrape together a full set of pool balls in Fallout 4. Time to set them up on the table!

Is that not the obvious solution, though? I mean, like, I start a puzzle like this, I assume that he's either A) in a location which has been quite thoroughly drilled into my head at this point (dude's big on boats, mentions the docks area, docks folks mention him showing up every now and again, he's got a T-shirt saying "Boy I'm looking forward to being found by the player in the docks district later on", etc), B) in a new location which has just now been opened up, or C) You fuckers are just gonna put him in the last possible place that I visit aren't you, haha, well done game designers.

I'm pretty sure you have to backtrack to literally every area. Cause even if you know where he's gonna end up, he won't actually be there until you visit each area in the proper order.

Imagine four balls on the edge of a cliff. The first falls down, the fourth moves forward through the remaining two, the third vibrates up into the stratosphere, and gently caress knows what the second one's doing. You're imagining this, because the balls started physics-ing the moment you entered a 30 block radius so all you're left with is a corpse of a man clipping through a rock.

To the game's credit, you do get this objective right at the same time as when you get full access to the game's fast travel system. So it's not actually hard to make the circuit, and it's a decent introduction to 'hey, look how easily you can access ever major area in the game now'.

I was actually planning to try to play a game of pool just to see how the physics engine would handle it, but it turns out only half the balls fit in the rack.

No big deal though, Bethesda's modding community is known to make mods that change rack and/or ball sizes.

It is hilarious. That game just loves loving with the player, but not to the point where it's actively unpleasant.

Also, anyone complaining about the hamster wheel level is stupid as poo poo. You only need to earn ten rubies in the slowest wheel, and even that doesn't take long at all. Everything else is just a matter of talking to the right people.

100 rubees (in the slow jumping room, 1 rubee per jump) gets you the code for the hamster room
10,000 rubees(in the hamster room ideally) gets you the vault code. This takes nearly a quarter of an hour.
If you already know the code, it never changes, so if you're willing to cheat then yeah you can just go straight there.

If you're going to call people "stupid as poo poo" you could at least get your facts right.

In Fallout, you're probably more likely to do the trick shot from Carlito's Way than to actually pot a ball.
