Yeah, sounds like a bug. Which really fucking sucks, because the faction system is one of the best parts, also having the NCR aggro to you that early is possibly game breaking.

Oh for fuck's sake. Now every time I start up the game, it overwrites my quicksave and autosave with some stuff that must be stuck on the Steam Cloud or something. And starts my manual save numbering over at #5.

yeah steamcloud support is broken ATM. best thing you can do is hard save pretty frequently

TA · « **Reply #23 on:** October 20, 2010, 01:26:28 PM »

This is even with Steam Cloud disabled. I've tracked the problem to it stuffing a quicksave and autosave and ini in my d:\program files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[number]\22380\remote\, and writing a .bat to delete everything in there before loading the game seems to work.

I was going to just wait for the GOTY edition to get everything for half price, and after hearing about all the bugs I'm guessing that's probably a good idea anyway, regardless of DLC.

In Fallout 2 there was a very, very special handgun that many folks liked. It took a sidequest to get it. It's back.
[spoiler]
The gun from Bladerunner is now 'That Gun'. Keep an eye out for it in shops. It's pretty. A 5 shot revolver, and it makes a little energy 'bwee' when you reload it.[/spoiler]

Loving the quests in this game. I just [spoiler]put some god damned ghouls in SPACE.[/spoiler]

My fix for the quicksave/autosave overwrite: I have a batch file called fucksteamcloud.bat. I load the game from that, instead of launching it from Steam. This wipes the folder where the things are stored before launching the game, because it's the launcher that's copying the contents of that folder over. It reads as follows:

Quote

cd ..
cd ..
cd ..
cd userdata
cd 33166016
cd 22380
cd remote
del *.fos
del *.ini
cd ..
cd ..
cd ..
cd ..
cd steamapps
cd common
cd fallout new vegas
falloutnv.exe

Copy that into notepad, replace the 33166016 with whatever the name of the folder is for you, save it as a .bat, and put it in your "Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas" directory. Start the game by running that, and the save problems shouldn't reoccur.

I've put about 14 hours into the game and barely touched the main storyline. This is not because the main storyline is bad as in Fallout 3, but because I keep getting distracted by totally rad shit that I keep running across at random, or while helping out some town I'm in. I think this is the least directed Fallout yet. No waterchip, no GECK, no Dad, just revenge, and you don't even feel like your character cares that much about that. There's just the Mojave wasteland, problems everywhere, and at least two factions to side with in almost ever situation. Even crazy junkie bandits can be befriended somehow. It's fucking insane.

Adding to that, it isn't like you can't side with both factions in most cases. I AM FRIEND TO ALL. All except the Powder Gangers.

did they bring the wattz 1000 laser pistol back or is it still the cube with a trigger that is the fallout 3 laser pistol?

Bal · « **Reply #30 on:** October 22, 2010, 02:25:26 AM »

All the returning weapons have the same models, except for slight changes to accommodate the added iron sights feature. There's a swank new laser tommy gun though.

Which isn't to say you couldn't have befriended the powder gangers, you just didn't.

The Powder Gangers can go piss up a rope.

so far I've managed to stay friendly with both the NCR and Legion whilst pitting them against each other. I hope it lets me keep doing it, total yojimbo style.

My thing with the powder gangers is, not only are they comically evil, they're also really, really easy to kill. The Legion is really rough, so you might side with them if only to avoid having to fight them, but Powder Gangers are basically just walking XP in blue suits. It is just immensely satisfying to scope up and drop them three or four at a time.

So has anybody met Veronica yet?

Imagine the achievement if you could make those useless gits something worthwhile.

I have met her, and she seems like a nice girl, but I've got Boone on head removal duty, and while she may be a hard punchin' gal, I love my sniper.

stump sock · « **Reply #38 on:** October 22, 2010, 05:31:01 PM »

my only problem with Boone is that he aggros Legion dudes, who I'm struggling to maintain a positive relationship with as long as possible. So he stays at home.. :(

Bal · « **Reply #39 on:** October 22, 2010, 05:32:44 PM »

Veronica might be for you then. She just seems to want to wander around with you punching things with her power fist. I was already in a HATE LEGION play through when I met Boone, so that worked out fine.
