Anyone know where to find ian from the blood ties quest?

Spoiler

To deliver the letter? Towards the north west - his sister should have marked the location. if you mean later on in the quest then check underground carefully in one of the three locations mentioned about the family to move things further on - especially around a lab

I feel stupid, The one security door I didn't check because I didn't check vances body held ian.

/stupidity

EDIT: Also right before your post I found ian. Lol.


Also you don't want to even know how much I got stored in my megaton home. It is an armory of war. 20+Weapons, Ammo for all..Armor, Spare armor..Food..EVERYTHING. I even have a drug desk filled with all the wonderful things.

I've been playing for about 4 hours or so. My main complaint is that it seems really easy. Using VATS makes everyone really simple to kill. There's no feeling that you could get your ass blown away at any moment like in the old ones. I'm not saying it's horrible though, because I'm still enjoying it... for now.

I have the exact opposite problem...

Make sure your limbs arn't hurt, Put points into your weapon of choices spot. Crouch before you go into VATS. Do not shoot the gun out of peoples hands because it destorys the weapons condition.

Anyone did that ghost town full of mines quest? The bastard of a sniper caught me off guard!

Spoiler: Took care of him thought!

My first video...don't go on a rabid meanie rage

Lol, I wondered for a while why mines kept blowing up next to me.. Accidently hit R2 and I noticed the bastard. Four trys later I beheaded him with an assault rifle burst.

Also he is the only guy I have seen with a sniper. But I guess thats a good thing with the range he can hit you from.

And the damage! Hoof!

That was on hard btw.

If you notice i lost 3/4 of my health two times.

I upped mines to hard last night. Trying to figure a plan of action for the..

Spoiler

Germantown PD that I am about to attack and rid of super mutants.

I got 300 rounds of 5.66 and a 60% repaired chinese assault rifle and 5 or so frag mines and 7 or so frag nades. Going to save before the attack though.

Golly! While i was fast traveling i found myself face to face with a big mutant (name is yuo guana or something) we looked at each other for a second and then he proceeded to tear me a new butthole.

I quickly used the magic powers of the quick reload button and this time i ran from him into a nearby lake. He lost me. I start dumping around mines and then i wemt after him, he takes the bait and it takes him seven...i repeat SEVEN MINES and 3 sniper shots to get it killed!

What are these things!?!

If its a Yao Guai then get to level 10 as quickly as possible. There be a perk named Animal Freind. Its so fucking useful against mole rats, Yao Guai, dogs and brahmin. Hell the second rank makes them allies.

Also those mines I don't think gave the full damage, Because if your fast enough you can basicly run by them so it might have just took 3 sniper rounds.

 

[Bulletinmybrain]

No no no, i noticed his health bar going down, but the fucking thing was fast! He took some damage from the mines and then started running away...

Seriously, i fought a super mutant with a rocket launcher and compared to that this was hell!

Like I said, Get to level 10 and you won't have to worry about them ever again. Oh yeah just so you know if your quick with VATS I think you can shoot a grenade/rocket before it hits you destroying it.

Right now I am extremely pissed at the game. I have 1 hit point, and I'm on the mission that you have to go to the museum of technology. There are tons of super mutants around, and if I so much as put one foot out of the shelter of the shelter of the subway awning, I get hit and killed. I guess I'll just have to start a new file.

Have you tryed to load your autosave? If you have then I dunno.

Any tips on how to level up quicker, Bulletinmybrain?

Do quests. Thats about as best I could tell you. Leveling up science and lockpick are decent helps for gradual xp. But I would say take your chosen gun skill to 75 and then move lockpick and science to 50 as soon as possible.

XP is much harder in this game.

Woot! I am making super mutants my ***** with hunting-rifle+VATS.

I finally started putting points in energy weapons because I've been using them a lot. Game got easy FAST. Tesla armor + cyborg + plasma rifle = dead everything.

Also, mysterious stranger has actually saved my ass. I was running out of ammo and his assistance helped me from spending too much of mine. I love being the lucky, fast talking, good with his hands, scientific bastard that I am.

Gonna tape my fight with the super Behemoth, I'll be back

Spoiler: Behemoth!

[http://www.xfire.com/video/3aabb/]

Holy shit, that thing is gigantic, what mission is it in?

Also, what level should I be and what guns should I carry when I head out for the GNR building?
Someone please confirm that GNR has the single most kickass DJ ever.
Oh, and anyone know what the other radio stations in the game are?

 

[Bulletinmybrain]

It's the main quest i think. Just after you reach megaton you are sent to that bar to talk to the Scottish **** and he sends you there.

But seriously, if i didn't do 1 or 2 side quests i would never be able to take that thing down...

Take at least a rifle. And you should be level 3-4 minimum. That was on hard and i was level 6 i think and you can see how much health i lose just with one swing...

My first question is why are you aiming at his arm? Head>Better then anything.

So, stock up on stimpacks, I have a rifle and am almost level six

I know, I got my ass kicked by some of the raiders closer to the building(and I had a minigun)

EDIT: Oh yeah, a heads up:

Spoiler

If you get a room in Tenpenny Tower and accept the Ghoul quest, DO NOT TRY TO GET THE GHOULS IN PEACEFULLY! They end up killing the humans anyway and if you wanted that, you might as well just talk to Dashwood to get the key to let them in

 

[waffletaco]

You actually went into the battlefield? You know if you go right in front of the door to the GNR, he can't get there so you could pick him off little by little and he'll never go to you. He's too big and he only has melee but I guess yours made a better video than what mine would've been.

 

[Bulletinmybrain]

I still didn't get all of this VATS stuff trough...

My logic was. Big monster holding big thing in arm. I VAT arm. Arm fall. Me happy. Monster cry.

But i guess that doesn't happen huh?

Btw is the hunting rifle worth it? That piece of junk is too inaccurate for my taste..

Its the best use for .32 rounds. Hell I find it pretty dang accurate.(Then again I am level 8...)

Anyways, I dunno maybe hitting them in the arm might be useful but my way of winning is to try and kill every monster in one round of VATS. So I pack weapons and go head-hunting. >.>

Mate, you can get the Fat Man nuke launcher from a dead soldier nearby. If i wanted to i would make the fight a 1 hit kill. But what fun would that be?

Anyways what's your skill with guns Bulletinmybrain?
Cause i think I'm a little behind on that and it's gonna hurt my development..

I got small guns level 76. Also I would like to mention snipers can zoom. I one hitted a super mutant from across the entire wasteland as soon as the draw distance kicked in so I could see him. It was fucking awesome.(Also commando is a must have perk to anyone who uses 2 handed weapons and uses VATS.)

Have you ever thought of enlisting jericho from megatons help?

That was pretty cool, why did you keep going for the arm?
