LOL Haha I haven't seen a single episode of Walking Dead. (And I won't. I'd rather play Fallout 2. One word: BOZAR.^^) XD But I *have* delivered Ramirez's briefcase one too many times, perhaps. =)
Also, Vault 15 looks REALLY GOOD. I am loving the cows and the garden. =) And the NCR flag waving over it.
Does the 2.47.1 version have Abbey and Vault 14 removed? Because Father Tully does not give the location of the Abbey, but automatically asks for booze from there. So.... no Abbey location. ;_; And Vault 14 exits out to the main menu when you try to enter through the elevator. I assumed it was because it was not finished, though.
In San Francisco, I noticed that killing someone with explosives (Damn you Missing Super Stimpak Death! That was *always* how I killed that AHS asshole guy. xD ) does not stack the explosives to kill him. I used 9 plastic explosives, primed, to kill AHS-9, but the explosion that happens damages him as though there was only one plastic explosive. (My traps skill is 100, btw. BECAUSE I LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT WE CAN *MAKE* 'EM IN MM!^^)
Skynet's talking head is EFFING AWESOME!!!! If he looked like that, my geek character would DEFINITELY take him along. Along with Myron. =) I found something cool about Myron (but maybe it's the 9 perception^^). He "sniffs, like he has a cold." But he stops if I use a jet antidote on him. No EXP given for it, but Myron is too young to be addicted to anything. Much less his own sh*t. (Pun intended, for anyone who has ever spoken to Myron about Mordino^^).
I am not sure what is "not finished" about Skynet's talking head. Just paste that picture as his avatar every time the Chosen One speaks to him. I mean, Cassidy and Sulik get all these awesome background changes depending on where we are when talking to 'em. (AND THEIR POWER ARMORS ROCK!^^)
I didn't know that I had to kill a specific robobrain to get a motivator. I always kill the one on level 3?, I think. By the elevator. And he drops a combat shotgun and shells, but no motivator. I think there are 2 robobrains there and a rocket robot. And the other robobrain doesn't drop a combat shotgun at all, come to think of it. Even though he shoots at me like it's 1999, LOL.
OMG OMG OMG Marcus can totally equip the Pulse rifle! Haha Love the end look of the corpses when he kills 'em! VERY sci-fi.
I agree with whoever made the case for pulse grenades vs Frank Horrigan. Makes sense. He is this huge robotic metallic guy. Even if the pulse grenades hit him for "no damage," he'd essentially be stuck inside his large metallic suit, unable to command his own body. And watch the turrets finish him off, because they seem to be the only ones capable of doing significant damage to him. (Hey! That sounds like a very fitting end for him!) Is it possible to "throw him out of whack" with pulse grenades, like having them "cripple" him, rendering him unable to do anything, even if he is technically "unhurt?" This would be cool. Is it hard to do something like this?
Yes.
I have unarmed skill tagged. And considering that it's my only hope of surviving the wastes, yes, it is halfway above 100.
So the 4% instead of 5% is a penalty, then?
The pelts that do not stack.... Ok..... let me see now..... I kept one from my Klamath days. Then I found some more inside the EPA. That was like 4 total. Doc needs 10, so I visited Happy Harry and bought 6 more pelts to round it all out. When I come back, Doc takes the 4 pelts stacked in one group, but not the 6 stacked in the second group.
I have no idea what to do with the vertibird black box in 2.47.1. The Sarge just puts me on guard duty, no chance to talk to him. In the previous version of the game, Maria gave me a quest to go to Toxic Caves with a group of Enclave dudes. In 2.47.1, nada. Although I stole a note she had and read it, which might or might not have been the thing to give me the Anthony Fassard quest. I'm just saying that this part is not very obvious what should be done. In the previous version, Maria just THREW ALL THESE QUESTS at me every time I talked to her. In 2.47, all I can tell her is that she is related to the Sarge and yes, ma'm. Funny, but not very useful. xD Maybe if those quests were spaced out a bit. You talk to Maria, she demands respect, then some prompt asking her if you could help her, she tests you by sending you to the Toxic Caves (Why? To kill robots? To give me a combat armor II when I already have Enclave armor? Never understood what we were doing there, running around all over the place, to quote Cassidy.^^)
Also, flying a vertibird is not very self-explanatory. Apparently, we can drain fuel out of it (why?) or put fuel into it at Navarro (ok). But if the base is dead, then it can't exactly refuel my vertibird (haha mine take that Enclave MY BIRD, haha Raul^^). I actually have no problem if the bird would be refueled much like the car. Somebody said that Cookie would give me flamethrower fuel so that is definitely doable.
Also, the car still does not say how "full of fuel it is" when you look at it when it is a rusty heap of junk. Kudos for making it look like sh*t, though, very accurate. Of course, I have NO IDEA WHY T-RAY STOLE IT because who would want that piece of crap? XD I do like that it looks like crap, tho. Gives us a new quest to get the car painted.
It would be very awesome if we could BUY CAR PAINT. Maybe Smitty can sell it? And T-Ray? And the general store in San Francisco, just because San Francisco seems to have everything.
I have never randomly found buckets of car paint wandering around the wastes. I did find a Bozar in a footlocker, though. Best. find. EVER. Who cares about driving around in a rusty heap of junk when *ta da* YA GOT A BOZAR? And if anyone bothers to comment on the state of mah car, well, that's what a Bozar is for. Forget the rocket launcher. A BOZAR gives me all the spiritual peace I need. =)
EDIT:
Would be cool to make my own stimpaks. Maybe Myron could teach us that? Mynoc teaches us to sharpen spears, when we pester him enough. I know Myron doesn't like making 'em for the male Chosen One. Maybe after one "hey genius, ever occur to you that it might be easier not to get hurt," we could ask him to teach us to make stimpaks? =) And maybe the teaching process can be acquired whenever, but the making of the stimpaks themselves can require some high Science? or Doctor skill. Hmmmm, I guess science. Doctors know how to use stimpaks, but it's the nerds like Myron who can make 'em. Nerds rule!^^)
And maybe the female Chosen One can just ask Myron right off about teaching her how to make stimpaks. Or in exchange for sex. xP I mean, if the Chosen One is 16 years old, that's quite understandable. Teenagers make bad decisions. XD
Speaking of age, it would be cool to be able to make the Chosen One 90 years old. Just imagine THAT conversation with the Elder:
(No need to do anything. Well, except alter the possible choices for age parameters at the beginning of the game. This is how I *imagine* that conversation going if Chosen is up there in years.)
-WHAT?
-A GECK.
-A WHAT? SPEAK LOUDER!
-*speaks louder* YOU HAVE TO GO OUT AND FIND US A GECK. *even louder* A GECK.
-A GECK. Sure. Let me go get my walker. XDDDDDDD
EDIT:
-Entering the primitive tribe without Sulik's sister (the non-crashing option), does not lead to the warrior giving out a knives/spears quest. He automatically takes the Chosen One on a fake stimpak adventure.
EDIT EDIT:
You WANT grammar fixes as well? Hmmm. One of the condom packages descriptions ends rather abruptly. I think it's the red one. It ends with "phosphorus red dy." I think this was in the original fallout as well. Because I can't recall what the "special" thing was about red condoms. I remember the green one was spermicidal and the blue one was "ribbed for her pleasure" (I give those to Miria^^), but the red one never had a description, I don't think. Would be nice to have one. Popular opinion places the red condoms as having a "strawberry taste."
EDIT EDIT EDIT:
Collyweb. Having sex with Layla regardless of gender. Even if Chosen is female, there is still an option to show Layla a condom and to go get it on with her, but on WHAT part of the body would female Chosen put a condom on? Plus, doesn't Layla imply that she likes big meat? (Ow. The pun. It hurts. OW.) Humphrey is no good, which is why she shacked up with his brother? I don't think she'd have sex with female Chosen One.
EDIT: Does turning in that Vault City guy who sells fake citizenships lower karma? (This was in 2.44 version, someone else's gameplay) If it does, why does it? He is scamming the outworlders, so he deserves to be uncovered (after I no longer need my fake papers, of course. heh heh Waste not.^^)
EDIT:
Is it possible to have Lynette grant citizenship if you speak to her tongue-in-cheek and merely mention that you "took care of the Gecko power plant?"
EDIT: It would be nice to be able to take Enclave armor off the guards. =) I'd invest in Science and Repair for something like that, anyway. Even if it does make Miria look like a fridge. XD (LOVE Miria. Love all her convo's about armor. Davin has a nice comment about.... metal armor? Or Combat?^^)
EDIT:
In 2.44 (the version I could not finish because the game corrupted my saves. Oh no. That's not it. I trudged through THAT. It was that Broken Hills crashed and I realised that I could not live without Marcus. ;_; ) there was some quest about letters. It seems gone in 2.47.1. My luck is 2, so maybe that's it?
EDIT: Raiders also produce 2 leather armors when killed. The dudes in the combat armor produce only 1 combat armor, though. (Idk if this is a bug because I don't know the requirement to be able to loot combat armor, I kinda thought my repair wasn't THAT high. It was somewhere in the 50-60's. O_o ).
Also, random encounters with raiders produce 2 armors when looting them.
I answered my own question. TURRETS can MOST DEFINITELY be killed by PULSE GRENADES. :3 Heh heh. That one works and I am lovin' it like it's 1965. XD (So why is it that I kill 'em with mah rocket launcher instead?^^)
EDIT:
Fallout has quite a bit of exercise machines. In Sierra. San Fran. How difficult would it be for ALL punching bags to increase Unarmed Skill? And maybe the tread mill can increase Endurance. At the expense of time. (Maybe 1 month spent running on it in SAD could increase Endurance for some time by 1.^^). I think some time passes when practising on a punching bag (a few hours?). Maybe the treadmill can do something like that for Endurance, with every treadmill increasing Endurance by 1. Woot woot.
And the effect lasts, hmmmm, a month? =)
FUNNY SIDE-NOTE:
CASSIDY ROFL looks like such a LOSER when he is not wearing armor. I had a O_o the first time I saw it. I was all like, "WHY IS THIS LOSER FOLLOWING ME?" Then I looked at him and was all like OMFG *that's* Cassidy. xD I noticed that now, when sparring in San Fran (sparring in San Fran is less buggy in MM than in Restoration, where it would always always always crash.), the Chosen is actually bare-chested instead of being in a Vault suit. Come to think of it...... found another bug:
BUG: When boxing in Reno, Chosen is wearing a vault suit. No bare chest.
Is it possible to make armorless Cassidy just sport a bare chest? (Just cut/paste the bare chest of a tribal onto the legs of a Cassidy wearing leather armor? And have that be Cassidy's "naked" picture? Because OMFG Cassidy LOL.
EDIT:
Found a bug. When Miria removes Enclave armor, her avatar still looks like she is wearing it.
Everyone loves the power armor helmet removal in non-combat mode.
I am wondering if talking to Val about her life in Vault City is supposed to lead somewhere. It seems very detailed, ask her about being married, tell her about MY marriage (and have her laugh^^), finding out that Vic managed to get her mom pregnant without the Auto-Doc (Way to go, Vic. Still not taking you along, but way to go.^^).
Marcus side-quest.
Something simple. Like having a condom in the inventory and showing it to Marcus would get us to be able to ask Marcus for sex. And the next morning you could be all like, "you are in pain, but it is a GOOD kind of pain." (as opposed to having sex with Myron^^). I mean, there's an option to have sex with Metzger (ugh, EWWWW, even before that very accurate but unflattering avatar, just EW). Not even to save Vic's ass.
Metzger is one of those cases of being so ugly, people crap themselves in fear when they see him. That first time around I was totally not expecting to be looking into his ugly face and was all like O_O OMFG *cringe* Frightening, but totally as he should be. (No wonder I always kill him. If Vic is to be enslaved, it will only be by Val wrapping him around her little finger.
)
Hmmmm..... And maybe the option to have sex with Marcus does not expire. (Aka you can ask him for sex again). And after having sex with him for a set number of times..... your Endurance goes up. Permanently. And you can STILL ask him to have sex with you. So long as you have a condom.
Gotta be safe, ya know? =)
Question: After sex with Myron, does the Chosen One wake up addicted to jet? (I've never had this option from Myron, so cannot comment, but I would expect that to be the case).
Without the Super Stimpak Death, there is now no longer a reason to collect Super-Stimpaks. I am actually worried as to how to kill President Richardson to get the Presidential Pass-Key. I think the FEV fumes do not kill him, he is just standing there, as always. I'll try blowing him up (I think I saw 5 plastic explosives in the Enclave), hopefully that works. Don't think I could *ask* him for his ID badge.
THANK YOU FOR SHORTENING GORIS' THROWING OFF HIS CLOAK IN BATTLE THING! (I am assuming this is MM's doing, though I have seen it in Restoration. But then again, Restoration was a joint effort, from what I figured.^^).
SUGGESTION: Could you shorten the roaches battle animation thing so that when it is their turn instead of vibrating in place FOREVER *sigh*, they just shoot however many times they shoot? Their animation takes damn well wayyyyyyy too long. >_< (As an in-game fix I always kill them during round 1, just to avoid having to look at their way-too-long attack.)
