I believe the Steamcloud also stores your achievements, if your into that sort of thing.

What about less of a all-or-nothing plan? Maybe a 15-20% reduction in their salaries or forced furlogh days (thats one of the things they are doing here). It may take a bit longer but wont hit as hard. According to this UK government site the total workforce for England is only 29 million, so a 500k reduction in that is what, 1.7% or so increase in unemployment in one fell swoop, pushing their unemployment to around 9.2%. The bigger problem I think will be the loss of those peoples spending power which may result in other indutries (housing, credit) having to absorb the costs because people simply wont have the means to pay their bills.

^Whats your luck set to?

One thing I learned the hard way and found a bit odd. On my way from Goodsprings to Primm I got jumped by a few Powder Gangers who had set up camp on the side of the road. They attack and I kill them and when I go to loot one of the metal boxes in the camp I took a Karma hit. Why would that effect my Karma, they are my enemies, it wasnt like I was "stealing" from them. Anywho, I learned that if the reticule is red, dont take it unless youre playing a bad guy.

So far, I havent experienced any bugs on the PC version at all and it runs smooth as butter. Still in Primm, just Is he controllable via a companion wheel? Im not even sure how to bring the companion wheel up. I think I need to RTFM again, which brings up something I dont like. Why cant I save or print that manual?

I just cant wrap my head around firing a half a million people. I mean I get it, fire them and you dont have to pay them, but wont that have a cascade effect on the economy? Almost every dollar paid to those people is directly injected back into the economy by them paying their mortgage/bills/groceries/etc..., so by removing such a large percent of your populations (on top of those already unemployed) ability to do that would seem to add a further strain to the system. Not to mention 500k more people "on the dole".

The plan looks quite painful, and I wish the US would do the same, but what really caught my eye way the half million layoffs. Thats more than the entire US unemployment rate! I cant imagine the fallout of an additional 500k people on top of whatever is the current unemployment numbers. I know its spread out over four years but still. How do those of you in England feel about this? Good plan? Mad plan? You're marching on Parliment as we speak?

I played the game for a few hours (PC) and everything runs super smooth. It autodetected my 5870 and set everything to "ultra" and tbh, it looks good to me. Mind I dont have anything to compare it to but nothing is insulting my eyes. This is my first foray of any kind into the Fallout universe and with all this being new to me Im having a blast just wandering the areas scrounging through everything. I too saw the wildlife interacting with each other and there, just over the small hill, a running gun battle that I wasnt even involved in. I really like that the world does its own thing outside of my influence. Stopped playing last night after just rolling into Primm. I think I screwed myself a bit on character creation. There was a screen that allowed the selection of two, I cant remember what they were called but some of the choices were "Good Natured" or "Small Frame", but it said on the top of the screen "choose two (or none)". I took the "or none" to mean I would be able to spend those points later but upon making level two I wasnt offered the opportunity. Oh well, going to play it out as is.

Per the manual linked above: Hotkeys In the inventory menu, define hotkeys by holding one of the number keys (except the 2 key, which is used to switch ammo types)...

with respect, F Just thought I'd toss that out there. *highfive* Congrats!

Has a game ever gotten an M rating for just violence? Its usually for "adult situations" or drug use, right? So the Cali decision for "unacceptable violence" is separate from the "M" rating issue?

Did you see the phase transitition? Watching that platform slowly disintegrate is awesome! Where the outer ring collapses? Yeah, thats where it all went downhill on us. I had never fought either of these two fights until last night so I was pumped that it only took three tries to down Sindragosa. I want that "Kingslayer" title so bad....

I was going to pop tall this morning and install the game but I knew that would suck me in and I had to leave for work. Cant wait to get home tonight.

Killed Sindragosa for the first time last night, great fight! Then the LK punched all our blood out.

*slowly backs out of thread*

Huh, I didnt know Adams was dead until this post. And he died a long time ago at that.

Not until midnight Pacific time, thats when Ill check out of the thread. I wont really get a bite of the game until I get home from work tomorrow, at which point several of you will have already finished the game and started another playthrough.

I don't see how her sexuality has anything to do with what I was implying, to be honest. Whoops, my misunderstanding. When you stated GLAD (Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders) I thought it was a play on her profile in which she states her sexuality. My bad.

Is that a play on her sexuality? Very clever.

How does that change anything?

Pfft, like Sawyer would ever bathe in one dollar bills. Thats what he uses for wiping.

Purchased and preloaded, w00t.

I see, thanks.
