    Sneak attack criticals + a rad as fuck bow were all you needed to annihilate things in Oblivion.

    I enchanted a bow with basically every damage type over 3 seconds, and soul trap for 4 seconds.

    Hello bow that just owns everything.

    So all of the sudden I get this error:
    "This game relies on download-able content that is no longer available. Some objects may no longer be available. Continue loading?"

    Yes or No, it invalidated

    Fuck this. Time for a refund.

    I got that in Fallout 3 actually and it completely wiped all of my saves as well. Was very frustrating. It's why in NV I never bothered downloading the Caravan DLC or whatever it was I got. Actually now I think of it in 3 playthroughs I've had no problems with corrupted saves. I wonder if the DLC is related.

    Yeah I did that too but on the final missions you get swarmed with bad asses and go down fast. Unless you set the difficulty slider to Ultimate fucking pussy mode... Actually I think what I did was use the editor to create a stupid-powerful healing spell to cast on myself (ie cheated).

    100% chameleon? nah that is just broken... I only had like 86%..

    and the invis spell...

    Actually the mage was good with invis too, cast a pet, cast invis.. repeat..

    By the way if you do the Fisto mission you can find him in the Wrangler and pump him for 10 caps at a time, over and over... I guess you his pimp?

    It's not DLC related. It happens to people that didn't have any of the pre-order DLCs. It's the most discussed bug right now. It pretty much seems to reliably happen some time after the Come Fly with Me quest or doing anything in Vault 3. They supposedly put the patch for it into certification just this week, so hopefully it's done for.

    Interesting. My game went to hell during and after the come fly with me missions. Rolled back a few hours and have been avoiding that part. Just periodic hard lockups now.

    Not sure that valve would refund a purchase. Could try to contest the charges via the VISA card, but that would probably be difficult.

    There are some hostile Brahmin, including an incredibly weird one murdering a bunch of non-hostile molerats somewhere.

    Once you get ED-E to start playing back mission logs you can take it to either the Followers who upgrade his laser or the Brotherhood who upgrade his armor.

    When you do you lose everything you have ED-E holding so take everything back before you drop it off.

    Veronica is one of the only characters who can wear Power Armor (Boone is another, because he can wear NCR Salvaged Power Armor - but I believe you will have to murder one for it).

    What is REALLY annoying is they cannot even carry the armor with them. They just drop it. So you have to carry a lot of faction related stuff yourself.

    The NCR will attack you on sight if you are in Brotherhood power armor IIRC.

    When you do you lose everything you have ED-E holding so take everything back before you drop it off.

    The reason this happens is because it spawns a new ED-E - not the old one. The original ED-E is destroyed and gone forever, you actually have an entirely new companion with whatever the upgrade is replacing him.

    Edit: A long range sniper killshot where nobody can see you is the best way.

    If they don't see you it doesn't matter. I killed half of the legions camp in stealth before they even had an inkling what was up. Grenades in pants are by far the most efficient way of doing this however.

    Find one sleeping in the hotel and sneak attack him with a ballistic fist or any other melee weapon, it probably has to be in one hit to keep the ranger from alerting everyone else though.

    I need to re-try the long range killshot then. I've tried one-hitting the ones in the outposts at forlorn hope, but even though I got the one hit sneak crit kill, the whole camp turned on me. Will try the ones at camp golf, maybe they're less finicky
