So apparently if you finish the Titan quest line by defusing the Silo 7 nuke and going the Chaos route, the NPC you get is actually Charisma locked. Is this the same with the other NPCs you can get? Also, is there a better way to solve the Silo 7 issue?

Anyone here familiar with how to progress the story in Griffith Observatory? I can't tell if the game has bugged out or if the area is just this lovely. I want to find evidence on Mayweather but the only NPC with any leads was the woman who ran the burger stand. She said I should speak to Marcus White but he's not inside the compound, or if he is I can't find him. I've exhausted the dialogue of what other NPCs are in the area. What do you do to progress the quest? Do you speak to White and if so where is he?

when you start breaking apart better guns, do you get more junk parts if you keep levelling up weaponsmithing or does it eventually become more economical to just sell the gun?

I just started and I'm only in Ag Center right now but got a few questions: Is it possible to somehow passively heal your squad or do I just have to spend first aid stuff all the time? Do any weapons require having a certain amount of strength? Since pistols seem to suck pretty hard I was thinking of giving Rose a sniper or assault rifle for her to contribute at least something. I must have missed Angela Death, do you really get her before you even leave the first area?

I cannot remember where the second toaster in Ag Center is. I know of the one in the main complax but I can't remember where the other one is, the one with the blood staff and to answer a friend, what do you do with the Red Ryder BB Gun? He went Highpool I went Ag Center.

So I got the mission to go to silo 7 and sent the nuke away since my repair score was way to low to disable it anyways. When the radio cut out I thought the game was only pulling my leg but nope. So much for ever seeing where any of the valley plotlines were heading.

Funnypost Collabo posted:If you do Ag Center first you're likely to have around a ~35% hit chance against the rabbits, but other than that - yeah. Any lower than ~55-60% means the enemy is behind cover and you're not flanking. I haven't seen anything else that has crazy high evasion like the rabbits do. I had zero percent hit on the rabbits while using melee weapons, I would never have gone through the six rabbit fight had I not found a rocket launcher. I've also had the most luck with pistols so far, so I dunno what kind of franken team I managed to create. The game is amazing though.

I'm a bit late on this. But. Arven posted:This game. I savescummed trying different dialog options and couldn't make it happen. The keyword system is a lot more subtle that it seems. I have played the game 20 hours, and I just learned ( thanks to a french journalist ) that the order in which you use the keyword is really important in some dialogues. It's a really nice idea, but it's going to make the dialog seem random to a lot people.

They really should have stuck to their guns with the whole "It'll be done when it's done" but that notion went straight out the window when they announced there would be a mandatory day one patch. The game is crazy buggy. And bug-free software is a pipedream. There always comes a point when your testers stop turning up new bugs and the first real users will find some poo poo right away.

Can anyone share some of the NPC skills? I've got a big pile of skill points saved up but I'm paralyzed thinking if I spend any I'm going to find someone just around the corner who has invested a ton in the same skill. I've found Rose who seems like a great noncombatant skill workhorse, and Ralphy who can fix toasters but has a loving horrible attribute spread.

I'm only in Highpool, but I really want to start over because I don't have Angela. Even playing on seasoned I'm reloading fights more often than not. Question. How important does Toaster Repair end up being?

Angela Deth is good at brute forcing poo poo, hard rear end dialogue, and outdoorsman. She's a temp ally but she's with you through the beginning of the game at least. Rose is a really good surgeon (though she has no first aid training). Does she have another utility skill that I forget.

Regarding Outdoorsman, does it automatically check the highest skill in the party on the world map, or do I need to have that particular character selected? Or does it tally up the scores of everyone? Can't find anything about that in the manual.

I'm going in blind on this game. I loved fallout as a kid and just barely missed the wasteland phenomenon. Is this pretty heavy on RPG elements ala Fallout or is it more combat and mission focused? And is the game good in this threads opinion? Trying to not skim it too much and spoil something.

Is there a way to leave party members behind? My group's charisma score is really drat low, and I already have a good doctor character, so I think I will ditch Rose down the road when I can get another combat character.Funnypost Collabo posted:I find the combat in this game leaps and bounds beyond the old Fallout games. Mechanically it is nearly identical to the recent XCOM game with a few differences: no active skills, the equivalent of low cover is crouching which you can do anywhere, AP based instead of two-actions, and turns are per-character instead of per-team. It's a very combat-centric game as opposed to Fallout - a good thing in my opinion, but obviously not for everyone. Why is everyone comparing this to Xcom? This game is basically fallout tactics lite. e: Funnypost Collabo posted:I haven't played a whole lot of Fallout Tactics but I think it's actually a pretty good comparison, except it's an open-world RPG instead of mission based. RPG kind of stuff happens in short stretches between encounters and in quest hubs, but most of your time is spent fighting or using your skills to basically access loot containers or interact with objects to progress quests. heh, looks like somebody beat me to it

I'm finding it to be a slog, but the general consensus is pretty positive, even factoring out grogs who've been waiting decades for it to come out. A good comparison made earlier, in terms of game progression and feel, is Fallout Tactics *efb. It's just that the total lack of humor / bleak fascism of FOT have been replaced by 1980's-by-way-of-The Oatmeal humor, level / combat design is less interesting, and there is a modest amount of attention paid to characters and talky solutions.

I found an infinite experience glitch in Damonta for characters with the Computer Science skill (You'll need either 7 skill or 6 skill and a little bit of savescumming): Towards the top right corner of the map you'll meet Hopi and Magee. Kill the robots outside their shop for them, they'll open the door and let you in. They have a broken robot named Jamie and they'll tell you that you can take him if you get him up and running. This is a rank 7 Computer Science skill check. If you succeed, you get access to the glitch: Once he's repaired, you can use Computer Science on him again. This is a lower-rank skill check which gives him a buff called Overclock. It has a 100% success rate for me. You can use it on him repeatedly as many times as you want (if there's a limit, I haven't seen one, but I stopped after a few uses) to get some experience every time. e: Looks like the second part of this works with Mechanical Repair as well.

Wow, Damonta is a shithole. I assumed it'd be some sort of new hub for me to rest and restock but instead I get a face full of sawblades from those loving Slicerdicer robots. How am I even supposed to deal with them? They have way too much health and don't come alone. Also I assume I can't just leave and come back later, right?

I found out after getting here that apparently you're intended to do Rail Nomads first, so if you didn't do that you could back up and go through that for some more levels. I've managed to work through it with my large stockpile of rocket launchers and an M16. There's a (temporary?)

I'm looking for some advice on what to do in Rail Nomads! This map is big and boring. I'd like to finish it quickly.. are there any important/unmissable quests? Someone else said that the peace brokering is kinda pointless, and I don't think I have enough points in speech skills anyway... so should I just start slaughtering people? My burst firing assault rifles are hungry.

There is one trick that lets you make peace but you have to type in the key word at the right time, it won't show up as a button. Just "finished" Damnota and I have to say, my initial good impression is beginning to wear off. The fight mechanics are very simplistic and not well balanced against non-humanoid enemies and holy poo poo the map is a pain to navigate.

Just started up a new game and I'm disappointed that many of the bugs I encountered in the beta version are still present. The first one I ran into was Pills losing her own photo if I try to customize her. Doesn't happen every time, but annoying. The second was the one where I can't scroll the screen after combat. The only thing moving when I try to scroll with the WASD keys is the shadows, meaning that I'm stuck and have to reload. This must have been asked before, but how do I delete those custom ranger snapshot photos? I have way too many left from the beta days and would be nice to get rid of them.
