You ever tryed shooting the rocket in VATS seeing as how piss-poor condition you find ever missile launcher in game?
The rocket itself or the rocket launcher? And I'll try switching some stuff up too - I have a shotty (although in poor condition) and grenades that I'll try using, even though I probably suck at using grenades.
Ok, unless the enemy is completely exposed, don't even bother with grenades, your character always throws it too far, too close, or misses entirely.
Because your explosives skills suck? I can burst it right in front of enemies in VATS about 80% of the time even at mid-range with only 40 explosives.
I'm gonna go with bad luck. =P

Also, what's the best power armor in the game? right now I'm running around in Tesla armor, but I want to know if there's more.

Technically T-51B Power Armor is the best but then you can not repair it past 50% because there is no other T-51B you could not raise your DR past 25 or so. So tesla armor is actually the best.

Wait, how do you get Power Armor training?
you ask nicely for it.
Who do you ask?
ok, I've done my quota of smart alecky retorts

when you get to the part of the story where you are allowed inside the Citdel of the Brotherhood of Steal, ask Elder Lyons for Power Armor training. He will tell you to find Paladin Gunny, who can be found wandering the inner courtyard area of the Citadel.

Didn't spoil anything, just properly explained it

Leather armour and Stormchaser hat looks totally scavenger-esque, complete with hunting rifle. Can anyone direct me to Dogmeat? I've heard he's somewhere around Minefield but in which direction? East? West? South? Southwest? Northwest-east? Northsouthwest-east-middle-up-down-turn-around-jump-and-do-a-dance?

So has anyone found Firelance yet? It's a nice little pistol, even if it was manufactured by ET.

Hey people how good is this game but Im struggling to see enemies in the wasteland becuase of the fade/pop up they can attack me before i can even see them. Im only running on core 2 duo and geforce 8500 + 1 GB ram and havent got any problems running it on low setting even medium works for a few hours before i get CTD. So im happy but seeing as though this is my first real go at P.C. gaming i was just was wondering what i need to tweek in the advanced setting so i can see the enemies from further away and any other setup tips would be greatly appreciated. Please nobody say stupid Stuff like get a better card becuase i cant afford it otherwise i would have one already. Cheers

if you have a feeling that there are enemies around you, hammer the VATS button while moving/looking around.

If there's a target in front of you, it will zoom in and target it.

then you can either use VATS to kill it, or go out of VATS, and the camera will stay focused on them so you can shoot them normally

VATS:

ITS MORE THEN JUST SILLY HEADSHOTS

Just found a mod on a site that makes all the map locations show up. *giggle*

100% QUEST COMPLETION HERE I COME!
That's cool. The mods are the main reason I got the PC version instead of the Xbox 360 version. I'm looking forward to some really cool mods. Some armor that actually protects you that you can find early on in the game would be nice. Also, some drug that cures radiation poisioning and/or heals you better than what I've found so far. I suppose the weak potions and the relative scarsity of everything makes the game more realistic, but the game is hard enough without making the powerups sparce.
Once you have a house you can buy a Infirmary which can get rid of all your rads for free. And a laboratory which can make drugs/detoxify you.


Cool! I'd better start saving up my bottle caps. I bet that house is expensive. Do you have to buy a house in a certain spot or will any house do? I saw one in Megaton that might be for sale since it says it's not occupied, but you need a key to get in it. I was kind of hoping after the bad guy in Megaton killed the Sherrif and I killed the bad guy, that I would get the Sherrif's house, but apparently not. Couldn't even get anything from it without it being stealing. I guess the whole point of going to his house was to see his now orphaned kid. I tried to help the kid out but he didn't seem to need it. Kind of a pointless side track in the game but oh well.

You get the house when you disarm the bomb for the sheriff

And he's dead...for you.

Start Overs?

I'm not really that far into the game and I'm already considering starting over. Now that I have an idea of how the game works, I'm finding that I made some poor choices in character creation and in some of the actions I've taken so far. Have any of you Escapists started the game over yet? If so, what changes did you make from your first time playing to the second one? I'm thinking of bumping up my starting stats in the ability to open things and hack computers and to be sneaky. I'm thinking that maybe I need to be more sneaky in this game to do well.

Grrrr... random blue screen of death that restarts my entire PC.... It isn't so bad when I'm in a town because I have it set to autosave everytime I use a door, but when I've been wondering the wastes for the last hour or so and am so immersed in the game I forgot to do my last few quicksave-every-so-often's.... I'm just glad I shave my head regularly or I'd have no hair left.

Also, Dogmeat is an idiot! Stop running into combat you stupid mutt, let me handle it. When I ran out of stimpacks and he died, I used my S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Powers and resurrected him (only because I felt sorry for him for being so stupid), but then he just wondered off and was unresponsive to my attempts to communicate. Hows that for gratitude? Good riddance, next game I get him I'm gonna treat him really badly and abuse him till he whimpers in misery.
