That fuckin Ultimo Bot. He's pretty tough if you're low level, and he does not give up. That bastard will chase you clear across the map. Trauma Harnesses are similar, but not as bad.

I kinda love him :3:

I blame you ApeHawk. I’m going to play NV again, min-maxing my str and luck because I am a horrible packrat to the literal nth degree. Of course since I’m only able to play this on my PS3 I look forward to the 10 gig+ file bloat my PS3 will be holding onto

I'm both glad and sad for you. Even though FNV was supposed to run on the PS3/XBOX360, it still ended up not being the best console port. Hell, even on PC, it crashes a bunch.

Anyway, I'm busy finishing up the final update of OWB, and I think some of you might like one particular conversation...

Here it is, the finale of the third DLC of the game!

For those of you wondering why I have omitted the ending slideshow that accompanies finishing the DLC, I have decided that I'll show ALL the endling slides at the end of the game.

There's so much talking in this DLC, but I can't fault it, because it's good talking. :allears:

e: are you going to show off some of the other options for the final encounter? Because some of them are spectacular.

Nah. Gotta leave something to the imagination. Not everyone takes the diplomatic approaches. I was really tempted to do the Speech checks, though.

Much like the fire of canibalism that burns within Sun Vulture, the saturnite fist's never goes out and will continuously burn away the evils of the world (that isn't Sun Vulture)

Edit: Also, I'd like to point out that, even at low levels (I started this at 6 earlier this week) it's a loving GOLD MINE for gaining caps. The shop interface has about 10k+ caps on hand usually, it refreshes it's inventory every once in a while (Though I -think- you have to stay outside The Sink for it to restock, about 3~ days worth of staying outside the sink) and it has a tendency to sell Stimpacks, Prime and Powder Sets (obviously for those who have a bunch of casings around and use guns) and has a buttfuckton of ammo, I'm thinking this also extends to DLC ammo from the Gun Runners Arsenal, but even if it doesn't, you'll have more than enough gun and energy ammo to buy. Not to mention stuff like the Proton Axes, Lobotomite Mask and Goggles and even the lobotomites wearing Patient's Gowns can sell for a hundred or so caps at the low end when fully repaired (Depending on Barter of course), so...yea, if you're willing to put up with more damage than you normally take at level, OWB can be quite useful to low level characters...just be prepared to be using Melee or Guns (you can get a K9000 upon a successful Guns 50 check at the start of the DLC with the brains, more ammo with a 75) until you start finding actual Energy Weapons or Saturnite Fists if that's the path you wanna walk down.

Arcade is a cool and good character even if in Hardcore mode he is made of glass.

I still think this is probably the most depressing ending slide in the game for a companion :smith:.

It's pretty obvious that they had more in mind but couldn't afford to licence the likeness of Elvis.
When you talk to them they explain that all those inspiring tapes the got the colture from have worn out in time. Every.Single.One.

Couple things:

1) Glad you guys are loving the conversations! I put a lot of thought into them, which is probably why these updates take a while longer than they should.

2) I've been busy at work, so after this next update, expect a bit of a delay while I build up more of a backlog.

3) Next update is a Kings update and yes, I agree that we should've had more Kings content than we did. I feel the same about the Atom Cats from Fallout 4, the only good faction in that game.

At least NV had a rather short dev time and not having the license for Elvis to excuse it, F4 Devs just decided to focus on the most boring feature instead of fleshing the cool things out.

These high-G injections have some serious side effects after pulling so many jumps.

Didn't know there were licensing issues. Thought it was a great way to get the idea across without banging the player over the head with it.

Did everyone see the announcement about Fallout 76? Got my hopes up it'd be a spin off of Fallout 4 much like NV is for 3. Looks like it might be more of an online survival game ala Rust.

They "claimed" it isn't...but still :ughh: I just hope this game isn't the massive anti-climax FO4 was. Holy gently caress they just...discarded everything that Obsidian put down in NV and poo poo all over the grave. And the less said about the settlement defense and their "creator's club" the loving better.

It's probably going to be an online battle royale game ala Fortnite. You can use their home building tools from FO4 to build small forts while every five minutes a thick radiation cloud closes in tighter and tighter, slowly killing anyone trapped inside.

I still can't get myself to play FO4. I think I sunk about 8-10 hours in and it just felt like a slog the whole time.

Arcade is my favourite character, understatedly awesome.

He's one of only a couple written by JE Sawyer, I can only remember one other off the top of my head and he's standout too. Arcade was originally intended for Van Buren iirc and made a return for FNV.
