Having just got to vegas, i hope there is much much more of the game left

Well I walked into vegas. Started 2 quests in there and killed that mcsheffrey bloke, Then left vegas to complete the quests that were given to me in there. That was 5 hours ago and I still haven't completed any of the quests. Just keep getting new ones to be able to complete the others

Just thought I'd point out that there is a dresser in the Doctors house in Goodsprings where you can store as much stuff as you want.......It's like your locker in the Megaton house in F3.

I'm using the caravan near the Goodsprings source - it has a suitcase in it that I stored stuff in. If you're playing hardcore (like me), I think it's more useful because it has a bed and a source of clean water nearby.

I do have my own "house" now however haven't managed to transfer everything over yet...

Top work, I had to get Veronica to kill that Mc- bloke, and nearly forgot his hat!

As if she only gave me 150 for it too! I shouldn't have given her them 600 caps back the cheeky bh

Off to look at a car tonight so wont be much time for Fallout, i'm sure i can find some though

[Jasandjules]

Man I can't wait to find a .50MG.. And a rocket launcher so I can get the Guidance system from the Gun Runners and see what happens (not to mention high explosive missiles!)

Or get boone to blow the head off the old lady and take the key from her still warm remains!

She didn't have the key on her when I searched her body. Which I was a bit gutted about!

Cliff Briscoe takes over Novac after she has been killed and will give you the key for free if you don't already have it.

I am not sure if it's any use for hardcore mode but just a warning: 12k caps for the health regeneration implant is bad value... the thing regenerates at something silly like 1hp per 10 or 20 seconds and does not seem to take fast travel into account, so to regen 100hp I had to fast forward time by something silly like 12 hours. Think a underskin DT implant would have been more useful by preventing damage in the first place.

by having all the rockets I think i will spare you making a trip to an irradiated ruins zone to collect a jar with fuel when you try to get rid of the ghouls in the rocket silo place.

no problem. And I fixed your quoting for you too.

The Rockets can be used as a primer for launching the ghouls off into space as an alternative to getting the proper stuff, btw

What is annoying me is the need to have high repair and speech skills to do anything, had to give the main quest a stop and carry on with side quests to get my speech up to 55 to pass a speech check which will help finish the main quest.

Also when going to the boomers, don't go south around to the abandoned train tunnel, fk load of deathclaws,

Do you not think its a good way to stop you finishing the game straight off?

I spent too long doing side quests last night, but i guess thats the point in the game.

Having just got to vegas, i hope there is much much more of the game left

No, that isn't the point I am making, the point I am making is that you are forced to put your points into speech and and repair skills to complete the game, as opposed to anything else you can't really make your own character as you would in FO3 and put your skill points where you like, I get that you have to be a bit more savy with your points but, it is a bit boring when all you are doing is fast travelling back and forth doing speech checks.

Boomer level for example
Jack likes a girl he has seen through binoculars, you talk to jack about her
You then go find the girl and talk to her about Jack, find out she feels the same about him,
You then go to Pearl to get permission for her to come into the base (speech check)
You then go to Jack to say Pearl allows her on base, but you need to get a jumpsuit for her to wear
You then have to go back to the caravan camp and speak to the lady there to get the girl out of her contract with her money (speech check level 55)

Boomer level medic you need a medicine skill of 60 to complete it, but you have to use your points elsewhere so you can survive the wastes.

Or you could just lie and get her shoot when she enters Boomer and fail the mission

Ooops. Ta again!!

Ah well, I'd already sent the Ghouls to the moon* so no use for those rockets then..


Or wherever it is they are going, perhaps the Alien ship in Fallout 3

^^ I got "That gun" from the store in novac last night, worth every cap! Made short work of the Super Mutants at black mountain, including the boss!

There's lots of loot up there too which is nice, got myself a rocket launcher now!

Its very easy to steal if you get the door open, its just sitting on the shelf waiting to be half inched!

Which door?

The door behind the till that you can either pick open or buy his stock of rocket ships and he will open it.

The Medical Center next to Crimson Caravan right up near New Vegas itself.
These are upgrades to yourself rather than your weapons, btw

Thanks! Anyone found a use for lottery ticket? found it quite amusing once i had shot him for it that he was the sole survivor, even got good carmer as he was a powder gang. Anyone else find those robots at the edge of the map behind the burnt out ranch? mister ??????? they kicked my ass!!!! also found a cave with snake dog things in and that was pretty difficult!! I have a brotherhood robe should i hang on to it? and the same for my radiation suit? Anyone know what Daves shack is for?

Sorry for the way this post has been laid out, all came out at once.....

Not for me, he is staying in the shop and will let me buy but no speech for a motel key.... B**er and sod.

ETA - and I don't see a rocket launcher in the room he has either, a pistol and some ammo but that is it. Though I do have "annabel"....
