FO: NV (General Discussion)

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

The mouse wheel should've scrolled between weapons and there should have been a melee shortcut to switch to a melee weapon or at least give a quick knife/whatever strike.

[Tigranes]

You *can* set number hotkeys to weapons. I had 1 for stimpack, 2 for main gun, 3 for gren, 4 for melee option, etc.

9 hotkeys wasn't nearly enough, especially with the horrible inventory UI that made switching anything a total pain.

 

For me it was:

 

1 ) Melee weapon/light melee weapon

2 ) Heavy melee weapon/one hand range weapon

3 ) semi automatic 2 hand range weapon

4 ) automatic range weapon/combat shotgun/minigun

5 ) stimpacks

6 ) Heavy weapon/sniper rifle/plasma rifle/grenades

7 ) frag mines/heavy weapon

8 ) bottlecap mine

 

It was a ton of switching about and really annoying.

I didn't see any dev comments so far, but do they plan on putting out Dead Money for the PC?

[Lexx]

Some day they will.

Heheh, I hardly ever carry more than 2-3 weapons. So for me it goes:

 

1-stimpack

2-default change ammo

3-pistol or other closer range gun weapon

4-sniper weapon

5-unarmed weapon (hardly ever used)

6-variable

7-radaway

8-sunset sas.

 

I never worried about it too much, especially since there were so many times where the weapon hotkeys were wiped out (casinos, etc).

[Pop]

So here's a nightmare scenario for you.

That was super annoying too.

Do you think it would help if I told them I ain't gettin' on no MMO, fools. (?)

[WDeranged]

"We will love if we have to do Fallout 6 and sequels. But we will see what happens in court. It can be this year or later... We have the back-up of our shareholders to fund this fight."

 

If they "have" to do Fallout 6?..You can just feel the deep seated love this guy has for the series, I can tell he greatly respects it as a body of work and not as a mere cashcow.

[Lexx]

Hahahaha, good joke. If they get their hands on it, chances are pretty good that Interplay will milk Fallout in the same way Bethesda does.

[WorstUsernameEver]

I think (?) WDeranged was being sarcastic with that.

[WDeranged]

Weeeeeeell, a bit

 

For as much hate as Bethesda get, they're a far better home for Fallout than modern day Interplay.

I only ever assigned a few hotkeys. 1 was the "cheap weapon" to use on low-threat mooks. 3 was my close-range room-clearer (usually a SMG or assault rifle). 4 was my sniping weapon. 5 was usually a second rifle, with a bit more punch than the gun in the 4-spot (e.g., my first Sniper rifle, when Ratslayer was still keyed to 4, or the Q-35 on my e-weaps character who sniped with a scoped Laser Rifle). I didn't regularly carry more guns than that.

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Half my hotkeys were different revolvers.

 

The others were all shotguns.

Wow, excellent find! Wasteland just happens to be my favourite game of all time

I noticed it was put up a few hours ago whilst trawling for late night brainfood,

[Calax]

I think I broke my game. I've walked into Gammorah with my pal doing the "I'm in combat" stuff, and I get stuck because the bouncer is supposed to take my guns, but he won't.

 

This means I'll loose 2 hrs if I can't fix it!

[sorophx]

just forget about Gomorrah. I never bother to reload if it's just one line of sidequests.

there's also one with Tim Cain and Chris Avellone. (and I'm not sure, too lazy to check, but I think Feargus too)

[Slowtrain]

The game still has broken quests?

 

Is there another patch coming? Or has Bethesda once again left a broken game sitting in the dust?

[C2B]

Beth received multiple requests to release an MP3 of the Dead Money song "Begin Again". An internal Obsidian production. Listen to it here

What were some of your inspirations for the song?

[Slowtrain]

I was just reading on the Fallout wiki that in NV non-hardcore mode companions can't die? Is that true? I mean, I assume it is, but didn't people find that pretty gamebreaking? How much fun can a non-hardcore game be if you get to run around with an unkillable meatshield at your side. Unless one wants to solo the game, is there any point to playing non-hardcore?

[Tale]

They don't die, but that doesn't mean they don't fall down. They cease being a meatshield when they're unconscious on the floor.

[PoetAndMadman]

woohooo!
