Fallout: New Vegas Patched

Gamestop is having a 15% off in stock merchandise (with free shipping) and oddly enough has the PC collectors edition in stock, so I'm gonna order it. Finally they are going to take my money. I wish it was amazon, but 15% is 15%. They announce the code on the front page, but in case anyone wants it: 15SHIP I think I'll pick up the collectors strat guide too. Oh hey, I wanted the limited edition plants vs zombies (to get the figure) too, and I haven't seen that on sale anywhere. Edit: Amazon has the collectors strat guide for $20 so its much cheaper there This comment was edited on Oct 25, 2010, 18:53.

I saw that too, I was wondering the same thing. It was also a wild encounter since it had the music and the ... on screen.

Well, I don't want them to stay behind, because I'm using them to carry most of the loot that I find. But it doesn't matter if I set them to "attack only if I attack first" or "don't attack at all" or "I swear to God, I will fucking KILL you and EAT YOUR CHILDREN IF YOU DARE SHOOT THAT FUCKING RIFLE ONE MORE TIME!!!" they still go and run off and attack shit. Asses. And yeah, those nightkin are pretty tough. Those rebar clubs HURT. Creston

I had to stop using Boone, he's an awesome companion and his perk kicks ass but he makes the game way too easy. He would literally shoot shit before I've even seen it and he's two shotting stuff some mobs on hardcore.

Companions irritate the living hell out of me anyways, as they'll just go charging off and shoot shit 15 rooms away. (and who EVER thought it was a good idea to have slow-mo deaths OUTSIDE of VATS, EVEN IF YOUR COMPANIONS KILL THEM?!)

I've got them both set to passive, and they'll still just run off and hunt a nightkin somewhere. I'm of half a mind to just let them fucking die.

Creston

Did you try setting them to passive+stay here+stay behind, etc etc etc?

Mine don't do that at all - and I killed all of those Knightkin myself - it sucked!!!!!

Maybe I'm at that point too. Not sure. Quit right after I died after being two-shotted by some plasma spitting sea-mutants.

I love ED-E and Boone.

Oh, and where can I find a decent sniper rifle without killing Boone for it?

Creston - sounds like we are at about the same spot, I pushed the limits out off of the road as best I could, but am forced back to the story line....at the powerplant now.

Speaking of Oblivion, it's nice to play a Bethesda game where if you want you can go out to some very dangerous places way before you're ready and get completely owned you can. None of this nice, cozy, wilderness that never hands you more than you are comfortable with and only ever levels up when you do. Yup. Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul fixed that nicely in Oblivion, though. Wander off the roads, and you better be ready. Creston

Walk on the road, few gangers, nothing much to worry about. Stray off the road, pack of bighorns. Not easy, but not too tough. Go a little further, hmmm, what are those? They're getting closer. They look like... ghouls? Oh shit... Creston was ganked by five Feral Ghoul Reavers Hehe. Or, I was out hunting Golden Geckos, everything went fine. They're dangerous, but you can kill them before they get too close. Ton of XP, valuable loot, all swell. Suddenly, three Giant Radscorpions come charging over the hill. Oh shit... And then finally, my favorite, I'm fighting some coyotes, nothing important. See a big hill, red stripes on the radar. Hmmm, I wonder what's up there? Super Mutant Masters with Plasma Rifles. I didn't even TIME to say "oh shit..." Good times. Creston

That is a big negative ghost rider - but the state of current new releases - it is the best thing out there atm.
