Cojawfee posted:I assume you talked to nick when you got the quest. What he says is what happens. The holotapes each have a code on them and you use them to Open the door to find Eddie. I won't say what happens when you get there, but make sure you don't run in guns blazing. I have Nick as a companion, but I didn't get any marked quest for the holotapes (and I didn't realize it had anything to do with Nick), I've just been following the evidence terminal references to other police stations with the tapes. At one point I just started looking for the places on my own because I ran out of references from the computers. I have 9 tapes so far, I'm just guessing there are 10. Really hope this is bugged out because I spent a bunch of effort thinking it was an unmarked quest.

At some point he should do the "Do you have time to talk" like all the other companions do. At least, if you've been doing things he likes and his affinity is high enough.

Oh yeah he did that, but he didn't mention Eddie Winters or the holotapes or anything. He just told me he was Robocop. Didn't realize this was as a result of collecting the tapes.

Just keep doing things he likes. I think there are three instances for each companion where they will extrapolate their back story. The first time they tell you about themselves, the second time they give you a quest and the third time is after the quest where you can try to romance them or whatever to increase affinity more to get their perk. So you've got the conversation where he explains what he is. Eventually he will want to talk again and he'll explain Eddie Winter.

Another question: how the hell does VATS accuracy work? I have over 10 perception and even weapons with really high accuracy and scopes seem to have piddling VATS accuracy. Like, shots I could make with every single time without fail, VATS gives me <50%. For medium/close range and moving targets and cover, the % makes more sense but it seems really random. Sometimes I'll have 70% to hit a head at 20', sometimes I'll 40%, with the same weapon. It's driving me nuts.

So buffout addiction usually reduces your damage output and psycho your max health.

So buffout addiction usually reduces your damage output and psycho your max health. Buffout increases STR and END by 2. When I'm in withdrawal, it decreases my STR and END by 1. I tried it with mentats which increases INT and PER. I downed ten mentats to get addicted and waited til they wore off. It only decreased my PER by one but not INT. I guess there's no addiction that lowers INT. You can see the affects of withdrawal by pressing Q (or whatever on console) on the first tab of the pip boy that says your body part health.

I wish they'd have ditched the whole companion inventory and equipment system. It's annoying to activate the same dialogue 100 times, I never feel like there's armor I want to give them (because they usually look good in whatever particular outfit they designed them in), I hate managing ammo for them, and it's tedious to use them as mules for junk or extra weapons. I'm fine with that kind of management in other RPGs, but it's just really frustrating in Bethesda games.

You missed his point and I still don't get what the original question was, either. His wording was that he didn't like "inefficient" fast travel, which makes no sense. All fast travel is instant. If he was trying to avoid fast travel altogether, I'd understand the question completely, but that didn't sound like it was what he was asking.

It still makes time pass in the world, and the farther you're going the more time is passing. That's a seriously minor quibble, though. Virtually nothing is time-sensitive other than some worthless settlement defense quests.

I decided not to level MacCready because a game breaking perk does not meet my price for putting up with him. He has been sentenced to nude hard labor in Fuckboy Acres where he will live out his sentence. Hancock I'm willing to try though, whose credentials towards tolerating mayhem include "Mayor of Drug City"

I hope the game didn't want me to think of X6-88 as some kind of badass or anything, cause the BoS landed a Vertibird with a bunch of low level troops and chased him down and took him out easily(except he's essential so...). ^^MacCready and Hancock are both in Goodneighbor, you can get there and get them long before you do anything with the main quest but the main quest will eventually direct you there.

Gelled really well with the protagonist's goal. He's an annoying twat, but can be quite endearing at times. Provided you don't actually involve him in the main quest. There are plenty of side quests to max him out without putting up with him throughout the story.

But you can go into the Glowing Sea whenever too. I just happened on it randomly on a southern discovery run, tossed on my hazmat suit, and just walked around killing bugs and checking out the coolest area in Fallout. Especially on Survival mode at an early level, the place takes on an amazing threatening tone and makes you feel like a deep-danger explorer. Jay Rust posted:Shooting Kellogg in the head with a mini nuke is canonical, calling it now. Why else would they plant that Fat Man in the Fort Hagen armoury?

Ohhh nice! Thanks for the reference! I don't really think that is an efficient way to do things in this game though - it's much easier to focus on one town which is your main, and one which is your labor force, and then basically use the labor force town as a hub to send out supplies almost everywhere else - otherwise it's insanely hard to keep track of.. And at least with a hub+spokes thing for one or two major points, you can color-code your provisioners with mining helmets if you care to.
