Hurlshort Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I have no idea how to make the ammunition or what to do with the cases. I also have no idea how to do it in real life, so maybe that is my problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaftan Barlast Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 (edited) Its really just a bullet exchange system. At reloading workbenches you can break one type of ammo apart into components, or use junk and break that apart and use the parts to construct another kind of ammo. Well, except that you need shells, you cant build a shotgun shell out of a 10mm cartridge etc. wow, a Ripper? is that a mod? Only the hair, eyes and skin texture of the player character are mods.

taviow Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Hey guys, do any of you have this problem occasionally, mountains in the distance flickering? If so, anyone knows how to fix it? I'm enjoying the game a lot btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I have no idea how to make the ammunition or what to do with the cases. I also have no idea how to do it in real life, so maybe that is my problem. Go to a reloading bench, highlight the ammo you want to make, press A and A again (or the xbox equivalent). Provided you have all ingredients of course. You probably will need to cannibalize other ammo types to get powder, led and primers. Which is done with the breakdown options in the end of the reloading bench screen. You probably need a few points in repair as well, not sure.

WorstUsernameEver Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Doing Vault 22. Can't say I notice the difference between an Obsidian and a Bethesda vault. Design-wise they're practically identical aside from the presence of elevators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Okay, i have two questions, and two potential bugs. First, I was wandering around in Vault 34 (what a creepy place), and when I went back, this scientist Emily Ortal was there (bug? What is she doing here?), asking be to plant a bug in Lucky 38. Where exactly btw? Secondly, what if I disable Mr. house? Is that good? Should I work for him, or should I return to the Yesman? Because when I do, he cannot be found anywhere. The stupid robot just vanished! Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoonDing Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 (edited) Maybe it's just me, but so far voice acting & dialogue isn't better than in FO3. I even noticed Redguard male is back (but then this person is a decent voice actor), Argonian male is probably back too? I'm also considering turning off hardcore mode since it tends to turn my game into a cover-based shooter. Stimpaks seem pretty rare anyway, so the extra baggage is imo not needed. Also, geckos are more annoying than mirelurks could ever be. I also have the impression they use the same running animation? Edited October 23, 2010 by virumor The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

sorophx Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I like geckos mirelurks are in the game btw, sort of. they're a lot nastier here though. as for Vault 34, I don't remember seeing a human there...

HoonDing Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Can someone explain damage mechanics? The manual doesn't explain it very well. As I understand it, each weapon has a DAM & DPS, so if the weapon's DAM is higher than an enemy's DT, the enemy receives the full effect of DPS reduced by damage resistance? The thing is, I've had it happened that the red shield icon appeared, but still the enemy died quickly nonetheless. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

WorstUsernameEver Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I must say, while quest and writing and combat all feel improved over Fallout 3, Obsidian didn't quite nail world-building, from a design point of view.

LadyCrimson Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Also, there's this huge delay between my picking a plant and the UI message/sound effect that it's been added to my inventory. Like, 10 seconds delay. Is that normal? I get this all the time, not only when picking up/using stuff. also, I don't like how the game forces you to level up once you ding. I've not tried canceling it yet, but it makes sence really, if it doesn't allow that. still hate it I've had the red shield thing pop after a critter had died, so I guess the delay is prevalent. Maybe that explains some of the UI messages that seem to pop up for no reason.... And I don't like forced level ups either, especially when the tend to come in the middle of, or right after, a battle. “Things are as they are.

Starwars Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Note to self: Don't shoot at Giant Radscorpions at low level on a character with no focus on combat.

Mirage Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I've heard DLC's are confirmed, but I'm not sure if Bethesda or Obsidian are the ones working on them. Anyway, if Obsidian are the ones making the DLCs I hope they focus more on their strengths, and downplay their flaws. This open world design seems to have hurt their usual creative perspicacity. As well as created one to many bugs. Although this is a definite improvement over AP. One more thing, someone said SPECIAL convo options only show up if you pass the background numbers check, but when I was talking to Walter in Pheeble Minded quest, a "Perception 5/7" popped up in red, so I don't think this is the case.

sorophx Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I think the skill-based checks don't sow unless you have that skill at an appropriate level. I've had it happened that the red shield icon appeared, but still the enemy died quickly nonetheless. I think that's because you shot it in the head. Obsidian didn't quite nail world-building, from a design point of view. I've already encountered far too many invisible walls. I haven't seen *too* many invisible walls, but even so, that surely doesn't prove obsidz are bad designers. so far the game has been nothing short of brilliant Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

Never said that Obsidz are bad designers. Don't put words in my mouth. 2. I've met far more invisible walls than in Fallout 3 (and there were already too many in that game). In Fallout 3 they were mostly limited to the rubble in DC.. in New Vegas? Full of potentially climbable hills that are somehow walled off. There's almost a circle of invisible walls at Lake Mead. Considering that it's Obsidian's first foray in open-world games, I don't consider the world to be badly designed, from what I've seen it's for the most part to a level comparable to that of Fallout 3, but in some ways it's inferior.

LadyCrimson Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 For what it's worth (or not)....after a 2nd random game freeze/crash, I noticed one of the K-Lite Codepack icons was in the systray. I have no idea if it affects anything/could be the cause of my crash or is completely unrelated, but when I checked, fallout3.exe was one of the files that was already in the "don't use ffdshow" list. So I added falloutNV.exe to it since I figure it didn't need to be running while playing a game anyway. *shrug* “Things are as they are.

I've read on the other forums that part of the decision for those walls are because of the way companion pathing works/is limited (among other things, not sure only hearsay). But on the PC you can apparently get rid of them if you really want. http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topi...;#entry16523638 Edited October 23, 2010 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

Bendu Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I'm still not in Vegas, despite playing the game for 20+ hours. Completed the Helios One Quest. Now I' curious, when will I be able to use Helios One as a weapon? Nevertheless, I'm on my way to Boulders City along with Ed-e and Boon. The game is great so far and it's easily the best Fallout game since Fallout 2. Personally, I think it's a great spiritual successor to the both original games. Lot of things has been pointed out before, but I just wonna say, that I love playing Caravan. I really hope Obsidian will be working on NV DLC. Why is it so hard to confirm who is working on the DLC?
