I sweet-talked him into meeting me in the suite without any of his bodyguards. I was really tempted to keep him alive, especially as he hinted at offering me work, but decided that after all he'd done, he deserved a silenced pistol in the back of the head. I ran out of ammo actually, but...

In Fallout 3 wearing power armor didn't make me feel very, well, powerful. For a suit made entirely of thick metal, the defence bonus didn't seem that dramatic. How can a mole rat's teeth or a few shots from a pistol still damage me through all that armor? I presume it's the same in New...

I completed the invoice quest first and it seemed to work okay. A pretty easy speech check was all that was required to get her to sell. As a side note, you can only clear 'Heartache By The Number' from your quest list by recruiting Cass as a companion and visiting the burned caravans...

If you decide to fight rather than talk down the Nightkin in the REPCONN basement you'll end up with a few. I know for a fact there's one by the Nightkin corpse lying by the door as you enter. It's beside him, though – not 'on' his body.

Yeah, all the keyword triggers activate during dialogue with certain characters. When the conversation ends, you should automatically focus in on E-DE who plays an audio log. Sounds like a bug. :\

Thanks, guys. It must have taken them five minutes to put this quest together. The worst kind of filler. Still confused as to why the Legion soldier and the Powder Ganger have swapped places, though. Happens even after a reload. Another brilliant and immersive 'quirk' of the game engine, I guess.

So I'm doing the quest 'Booted', which I picked up from the crippled Powder Ganger in the Nipton general store, and it's completely broken. I have to rescue two prisoners from the Legion Raid Camp, just south of Ranger Station Charlie. When I turn up, a Legion soldier is tied-up, while one...

This happened to me, a friend of mine *and* there's a video of it on YouTube. Bethesdarse stun me sometimes.

In some mailboxes you can find a letter from Vault-Tec explaining to the homeowner that they didn't make the selection process and wouldn't be let into the Vaults. A nice, eerie touch, I thought - especially if their frazzled skeletons are lying nearby.

More laziness; I was an hour out of the Vault and was doing Moira's book quest. I went to the Alrington library at her request, and when I met the BoS scribe there one of the dialogue options was; "Everywhere I go I run into you Brotherhood assholes." Despite the fact that I'd been...

Even after 'killing' everyone in Tranquility Lane, the people inside the VR pods back in the real world seem to still be alive - i.e. they're still sitting upright with their eyes open, looking at the screens. So nobody really dies, yet your karma gets a pounding, which I found kind of...
