Told ya!

The great thing about this game, is that it has an ending, and is not like WoW where you can play forever and never accomplish anything. That way you don't get addicted.

Well, I'm level 14, a virtual bad a$$, but I screwed up. I broke the quest to talk to the guy at the radio station. I might restart the game tonight.

BTW, make sure you grab the bobblehead in your dads office BEFORE you leave the vault or you'll be boned.

There isn't a whole lot, maybe you could do a quick restart to get that bobblehead. It is very helpful, especially that early in the game.

I'm digging the game...it's basically Oblivion set in the Fallout genre.

i just got past the point where dad dies (psst, you just read a spoiler) and am busy fighting off the enclave and feral gouls. something weird happened to me earlier in the game though, i did the wasteland survival guide quests (all of them ) before i did following in his footsteps, and so i ended up going to rivet city and talking to doctor li before i went to the GNR place and it kinda skiped that part and it made as if i had done that part of the quest?

Ya see, this is why I made the spoiler thread.

I've almost hit the level cap, dang. I'm at 19 and haven't even begun the main quest.

I got the $ to pay moriarity for the info but I can't find him now. He is not at the saloon any longer, I waited an entire day and keep going back but he's never there :(

I tried to use that stealthboy thingy (if you found it) and every time I do it crashed to desktop. I ended up just selling it.

if you can find him just kill him and get his password. much easier (and i think you might even gain karma?)

That is odd that the stealthboy crashes the game. They are usefull later in the game when you have to sneak. It makes you completely invisable, though if enemies are alerted they will attack you. I have only used one myself.

This game is pissing me off. It crashes to desktop pretty frequently...I have to save every few minutes or so or I run the risk of losing progress. I installed the latest patch and it seems to crash even more now. WTF. :evil:

Seems to be a lot of ppl having the same issue. There are a lot of crazy "fixes" out there too. People are idiots. Reducing the AA seems to be working for some ppl, I will try that tonight.

i will aswell. allthough as buggy as this game is, its still fun. the best part for me so far was when i was walking accross the wasteland and ran into some brotherhood outcasts. they started talking down to me, like "Hey local, shouldnt you be banging rocks together or something?" i let them walk a bit more, took a few steps back, whipped out the fat man and nuke there asses :finga:

I am level 17 now, and no power armor. I guess you get it later in the main quest. My Ranger Combat Armor is doing just fine for me though.
