could anyone else get stopped from fixing the robots at big town. I had to kill those super-mutants, and the idiot children got all gunned down. was well annoying.

Not true. Science and Lockpick are the only "roadblock" skills in the game (the only ones that ever need to be at a given level to attempt to use them. They are the only must have skills, because every other skill is usable at any level.TsunamiWombat said:
The difference is miniscule. It still won't show up anything behind you, and anything in front of you you can see anyway. The only other useful thing you get from Perception is extra points in Lockpick.
Yeah, that's quite a common bug.corporate_gamer said:
I just whipped up a minefield on the road they come in on and stood on the end of the bridge with a minigun. Makes short work of them.
Ah, but Perception will display targets that aren't in line-of-sight and who aren't audible over ambient noise. A high Perception came in really handy for me planning pop-out attacks while still maintaining surprise... I expect it'd be invaluable for someone playing a stealthy character.GloatingSwine said:

Unless you're using it for a dump stat though (which since the game's official dump stat is Charisma, which has no effect beyond extra points in a couple of skills which can easilty be replaced by extra int and a couple of do-nothing perks, you probably won't need to), there's very little practical difference in what you'll get for 10 perception over 5.
Have any of you with the collector's edition watched the "Making Of" DVD? It was pretty cool. I liked the part where Todd Howard was talking about the power outage and how walking around in the dark supermarket inspired the Super Duper Mart, very cool. And that crazy-awesome concept artist who did all the art for the book talking about "Mr. Cleaver emerging from the Vault, looking for some pipe tobacco", lol.
And I just had a pretty cool idea for some dlc or something - your character can become a ghoul! You gain immunity to radiation and all ghouls, even ferals, become friendly (I know there's already the ghoul mask). But your charisma basically drops to 0 and you have a much harder time dealing with normal people. Good idea or not? And maybe there could even be a quest of some sort involved, and maybe even some way to reverse it.

Can someone explain to me why I seem to repeatingly miss with a shotgun when I'm standing half a foot away from a super mutant? (I'm aiming manually by the way)
I understand that your skill with various weapons is reflected even when you're aiming manually but this doesn't explain how I can constantly miss when standing at what is essentially point blank range with a shotty.
After that, if I do manage to land a close range shot it seems to do absolutely pathetic damage compared to if I'm standing a good 5 feet away.
Someone explain to me why I'm being punished for using my own marksmanship and FPS skills rather than letting the computer do all the work?

If he's dead, as in killed by an opponent, he's worm-food. You'd have to revert to a previous save to recover him. (Just as I did all those times that Dogmeat rushed into the grenade I'd just thrown... no, Dogmeat, no fetch, bad dog!)fish food carl said:
If you've just lost contact with him, after a day or two you can meet up with him again at a system-set rally point... I think Jericho rallies to Moriarity's bar in Megaton.

Any time you can go to underworld. I don't remember if he' got a karma requirement off the top of my head.
I think you can recruit him anytime by buying his contract from Azrukhal, in the 9th Circle of Underworld. (Man, that sounds so Oblivion don't it?) IIRC there isn't even any Karma requirement, you just have to have the caps.fish food carl said:
