    Anyone having problem with the game freezing/crashing since the latest patch? I never had these problem at all until 1.5 came out.

    I just wanted to pop-in and say I FUCKING HATE MORIA FROM CRATERSIDE SUPPLY. Her voice is the most annoying, vile thing in the whole Fallout universe since uh... Sulik. And she gives you so much quests, arghhhhhh.

    Okay so guys I am playing this game and I came across a place called "Vault 106"

    Is this story important or is it a place I can explore without fucking up the narrative?

    Fixed. And as for that whole crashing thing the only time I ever get any problems is in the great outdoors due to having to load tons of shit all the time, everything else is peachy.

    EDIT: All right, mod knowledge request: is there anything along the lines of Companion-Share-Recruit from Oblivion yet? Phalanx sounds all right but being able to get anybody I damn well please and set them up exactly as I want is always preferred (not to mention having a few loot mules is always a good thing).

    If you give NPCs in FO and FO2 sub machine guns that's your fault not theirs.

    Which reminds me of the time Marcus ruined my Iron Man run by turning Vic, Sulik and Dog Meat into chop suey in one turn :(

    "Offline" saves are in a different place than "online" saves. All you have to do is copy/paste them out of that folder and into your GFW Live profile folder.

    Be careful with Sharing and Caring Companions as some NPC's can be buggy and cause a lot of crashes. Luckily if you're crashing a lot just dismiss some NPC's until you find he culprit. I had this problem when I recruited Nova, and the game crashed every 5 minutes.

    Does anyone know whats up with lots of NPC's being scared bitches in fights and cowering in terror, or never shooting their guns?

    I've been wondering - is this the result of some invisible 'morale' system, or just random? Because it's happened to me in Paradise Falls. After killing a bunch of slavers, some of the unnamed ones say, "Screw this!" then run to a corner and cower before me.

    One of the things MMM adds is different reactions, people running away instead of fighting, or fighting on to the death no matter what etc.

    Oh god.

    I just had my first nightghoul encounter. With Increased Increased spawns. And Feral Ghoul Rampage.

    It was just like one gigantic BHAAAAAAAH and then there was like a gigantic tidal wave of red and green/white bearing down on me.
    Granted I had completily cheated the shit out of myself with UPP and advlevel to 20 followed by player.setlevel 1 but still D:

    I'll say this much, though, I've now got a hell of a lot of respect for the S&W .32, and that fucker's becoming my official Anti-Ghoul Gun.

    That and the increased lethality from FOOK put me off from it - I can't find anyone who can shoot for shit or last more than 30 seconds without getting completily wasted.

    What makes me wonder is that the town is barricaded all to hell, and they all seem to have come from the sewers....

    Thanks to Sharing and Caring Companions I'm rolling with a motley crew of 8 dressed in various costumes from a Chinese General to a sexy bikini nurse. Its pretty awesome having them all shoot the fuck out of whatever army I run into.

    My problem is actually getting exp from anything cause I rarely do more than the 50% damage required. I once saw a mod to make it so I just had to do a little damage to get exp when a mob dies. Does anyone know what this mod is?

    The Shishkebab is an amazing weapon. Flaming swords made of rubbish are fully awesome. :D

    Be sure to put points in Explosives so you can get the Pyromaniac perk. It adds 50% damage to the Shishkebab, and thoroughly butchers all before it.

    They keep it pretty vague as to what happened, but I am leaning towards an experiment underground. There is a collapsed area down there. That was probably where they came from.

    It was certainly very pretty and the rewards were excellent, but the gameplay was fairly flat. Why do you like it more than The Pitt? It just surprises me, because The Pitt has much more variety than the extremely linear missions in Operation: Anchorage.

    I'm not really sure. Maybe because its so different. I guess the Pitt felt like the rest of the game to me.

    Don't get me wrong, it was certainly excellent and I enjoyed it but I'm really digging Operation Anchorage tonight. Maybe I'm just in the mood for it.

    Some people like that linearity and a guided experience more. I mean it's not like almost all of the other FPS' out there aren't the same as Anchorage. Take CoD4 for instance.

    Don't get me wrong, I enjoy open world etc as much as anyone. Thats part of the reason I love Fallout, can't beat wandering the wasteland.

    Its just that I think Anchorage is so much different.
