clearing the cache makes load times normal again

riley, i attempted the quarry once. i fought 1 deathclaw...well 3 of me against 1 of him and it took forever to finish him off. i was level 8 or something then

On my way to Vegas the first time, I walked past the town of Sloan. They warned me to stay away from the quarry, so I decided to walk around the long way.

As Boone, ED-E and I are walking along the mountain pass to the east, I hear ED-E's little cell phone ringer go off, telling me they are fighting.

I turn around and there are like 15 deathclaws. No shit...15. I just started dropping frag mines and praying. I died rather quickly.

I'm thinking about going back, since I'm at level 18 now. I actually have some pretty decent weapons and Boone is a ninja.

Is ED-E better than Rex? I'm a sucker for dogs, but I would like to let Rex go back to The King so I can stop worrying about him dying in gunfights.

ed-d gets killed quick if your not careful. i keep him around to hold stuff and because he doesnt count as a companion. i can take someone else along with him. with rex i couldnt keep boone.

plus i still have ed-d quest open

38 hrs and i finally got in the strip...level 15

 

[red33]

so my game glitched where when i try to pick locks i get this big box blocking alost my entire view and also when i scope with the varmont rifle using the night vision scope i also get a big block on my screen. its wierd like the first image of a pip boy or something, hard to explain.

so am i screwed? i tried loading new games, it happened after i got to the helios plant.

I have Rex and Boone :headscratch:

ED-E, according to the Fallout wiki, takes the place of Rex as companion.

But, if you say he can die easily, I think I'll pass. Rex does kill, but it's when I get into thick fights that I have to hold him back.

I have Boone and Veronica as companions. The two together can do some real damage.

i will have to check that out again. yes ed-d does die easy. if i know a fight is coming, i make him wait in the distance

i thought it was 1 humanoid at a time? and one non humanoid?

If you have the PC version, you can download some really good content from Fallout New Vegas Nexus. Some of the things you can download allows a higher max for companions and increases the number of companions you can have follow you.

The Mod content from Nexus is just starting to heat up (not near what FO3 had, but it's early), but they do have some great download content already in place.

I have a backpack that allow for 70 extra pounds. I also carry a portable campfire and portable bedroll. Installed some extra weapons and armor, plus more.

Fallout PC is the way to go.

Bucky, is every post you ever make about Fallout related to Nexus and PC modding?

We get it dude.

About as giddy as a school boy when dad takes him to his first strip club. You should try it (I don't mean the strip club -but do that anyways, I mean the PC Version).

 

[Leftwich]

I haven't played this is days and now that COD is coming out next week i need to at least finish the story.

 

[Colonel Angus]

Is there a patch in the works for this game? I hear there are a lot of bugs/glitches. How bad are they?

 

[riley420]

It's already been patched. I notice a little less jankiness, but otherwise, load times are still retarded if you don't clear your cache and things still get stuck in walls or floors.

I can't stop playing this game...I'm level 24 now and fucking unstoppable with Boone and Rex.

 

[Pitty]

There is no point to companions on Hardcore, they always die in retarded ways and never listen to orders. Off to the Lucky 38 for you.

Set the Essential Flag and they won't die on you.

I think I played it too much. I've pretty much had it with the game. It never even peaked with me. There was no climax in the game. Just quest grinding.

After I hit level 30, I think I'll move on. Which will work out perfectly, cause Black Ops should be out by then.

 

[riley420]

I've about had it, too. But I do enjoy wandering the wastes and random questing.

Level 30 isn't that far away, so we'll see what happens when I get there. I may just end-game it at that time.

Boone is pretty durable and doesnt take much damage as a sniper, Lily the nightkin is supposed to be pretty resilient as well
