  1. july 19th is the release date... a ways away, but at least it's coming eventually...

    yep read this morning on Google...didn't really read it actually,

    can only see the headline/descriptions, our new owner at work blocks game sites :lol:

    Saw this much anyway:

    "Old World Blues" will release for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on July 19. Before "Old World Blues" is actually available, however, Bethesda...


  2. So, if they're planning on keeping up with the "Honest Hearts in May, Old World Blues in June, Lonesome Road in July" thing, there should be a trailer tomorrow, with the DLC releasing on the 28th. Or they'll just delay it...

    Just noticed this June release date.

    Was reading about the Lobotomites

    http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Lobotomite

    Looks promising, but wondered where they got all this good dope already

    http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Old_World_Blues

    Places, items, names....did I miss a trailer? Today is still only 6-21.

    I saw the video on the Old World Blues page, that's about it.

    (That video is where they got the screen on the main wiki page)

    Can't wait, hope it comes out soon.

    I go on over nights on my job 2nd week in July,

    that shift sucks for gaming. Thankfully only a week,

    filling in for the regular over night guy on vacation.


  3. Yep. I'm off to Fuerteventura in Spain for 2 weeks with Crimson Butterfly so I won't be around much on here. Well I'm lying. Bought an iPad 2 SPECIFICALLY so I could sit by the pool and browse these forums.

    I haven't been away on a proper holiday for about 5 or 6 years (not counting my free trips to NYC and LA with Rockstar, muahaha), so this one should be good to relax, especially considering I just finished my degree at uni.

    Anyone else going on holiday this summer? If so where?

    You better behave yourselves while I'm gone! :rolleyes:

    Above all, congratulations on your graduation from University.

    That will help fuel you for the rest of your career/life.

    A major accomplishment. Wishing you well. B)

  4. This only further strengthens my belief that anyone who isn't from the GTA-SanAndreas.com/GTA4.tv/iGrandTheftAuto.com/iGTA5.com forums is a worthless piece of shit who has no business breathing our air.

    We didn't all start from here, Psy's groups that is.

    I had seen that he was a contributor to my webmaster's FAQ so I sought him out, and his stunting videos. Impressive. So I followed, and joined up. Slowly, started to migrate in. When my webmaster closed his site, I stayed with Psy. That was, like back in the GTA-SanAndreas.com days.....Been with Psy ever since. Not as a psycho contributor like many who live in the Asylum and all that, but always been here posting gaming exploits and contributions to the games side of forum life. I'm not much for all the other junk, life's too short, and I'm older than y'all. Don't ask. Sharing experience from the games. That's all.

  5. thanks for another confirmation, synch :D... i too have heard that sound throughout the game, and i always likened it to ambient sounds in the background when near mainframe stuff... similar to hearing a gun battle off in the distance when outdoors, or hearing the building you're in make sounds as if it were about to fall over... i just never thought much of it until i realized that perhaps something else is causing this sound...

    it never gets old discovering something new in some of my favorite games... i discovered the "good samaritan" thing in vice city where you are reward for helping the police chase a suspect, and as soon as i mentioned it on gameFAQS, it was EVERYWHERE!! there's other games like harvest moon that i also discovered glitches and cheats for...

    now i will forever be on the lookout for hula girls :D... at least they now have a purpose in the wasteland!! and that's to be heard!!

    (Y) This was *totally* your find, amigo. :yes:

    All of us will continue to search for them.

    Remembering of course, to listen for that faint audio that you found. B)

    The thing I hate about finding exploits in GTA, was, someone is ALWAYS there to say they found it first. That is also, why I stopped editing the Fallout Wiki. Some fuck was always coming along, changing my findings. Case in point, Ryan Briggs Wonder Meat in Fallout 3, and the Empty Sunset Sarsaparilla Bottles in New Vegas. To this date I have removed only bottles from the crates in the factory, to the dumpster in the back, and it is 900+..with many more crates in the factory to go. None of the outside ones, or floor ones. While some moron continues to edit/dumb it down to 700, then stating various bottles, etc etc. Now, since Honest Hearts, there is a crafting recipe to use them, and the guy screwed me on that as well. Bunch of fucking pricks on that site. I find valid shit, and they take credit.

    On my old GTA Forum where I was admin, I was able to post findings of the parking meters in GTA:III, the unlimited fares in the North Point Mall bus stop, and the 3rd entrance into the Underworld in GTA: Vice City. Still people claim those as their own, as they do for Agent Ozzy's extra territory glitch in GTA: §an Andreas. We made Ozzy an honorary member the minute he posted that, but on many forums, he was laughed at, and it remains one of the most awesome exploits of all time! Guy was the founder of the extra territories from day one.

    Not to worry bOnEs, as far as we are concerned, you are the FNV Hulu Girl Audio Discoverer.

    Here is that Hendrix tune that only the beginning guitar sounds like the Hula Girl theme.

    Only the beginning guitar, if listening in the game, as faint slide guitar.

    It was actually the first JH Experience album I found out, and the tune is "May This Be Love"

    This came to mind when I made the connection to your discovery, but *only* the beginning guitar sounds.

    speaking of nightstalkers though, if i read terminals correctly during my journey thru the mojave, i recall reading that nightstalkers were genetically created when genes were spliced between coyotes and rattlesnakes... me thinks this is a creature that will appear in old world blues since it sounds like it was started in a lab...

    Absolutely. Not just in the Charleston Cave, but on many terminals.

    As the data was explained, they were genetically spliced together.

    i'm curious about the radscorpions... i thought for sure they were just the result of the nuclear air but there are robotic versions in old world blues... i am a bit confused... perhaps they will explain the origin of super mutants more since it sounds like the experiments were taking place before the war... maybe harold was a creation of the scientists as well?? :P...

    Harold's story was written in the Oasis. He kept carrying the tree on his head.

    If you played the older Fallout games, he was in there too. The Master didn't create him.

    The Master DID create the super mutants though. That was explained in earlier games, but

    also in the irradiated Vault in Fallout 3. The one where Fawkes had to go in and get the

    GECK. Some of the mutants were mentioned in New Vegas as Enclave creations from Navarro.

    I think Massacre will know the most, he and Heartless played the older games. I don't really

    read the Fallout Wiki anymore since there is so much contradiction going on there. But that

    is where I would have gone to read about the creations 2 years ago.

    I can't wait for the next DLC.

    Unfortunately I think it arrives when I am on over-night shift for a week on my job.

    It's a 24/7 HD Television facility so it will be a fucked week. Good the weekend after though.

  6. i doubt the MMO will ever reach the public, it's been in limbo and fought over for a while now... bethesda suing interplay and vice versa... fighting over creative control, blah blah blah... and like you said, if it ever comes out, i will not really be interested in it, unless i play with guys like massacre and synch... i hate playing with random people...

    My thoughts exactly.

    Perhaps even more controlled as in The Thorn. At least you know what's up.

    What happened to Unreal, it eventually became Unreal Tournament.

    Not that this was bad, but UT is more of team environment, than the original game.

    I could see Raiders/Fiends against the various factions, but definitely no

    12 year olds screaming shoot the Deathclaw.....or worse...Where's the Pew-Pew. :lol:

    EDIT: Hula Girl Update.

    Bones - oh the slide guitar riff!...pretty subliminal I guess.

    It also sounds like the beginning of Hendrix's

    waterfall song off the 2nd album Axis Bold as Love.

    I just verified by standing in front of hula bobble

    at H&H Tools. Even though there is FNV soundtrack music

    going on, the hula girl slide guitar went off about 4 times.

    Actually I'm still standing there and it still goes off.

    It's just like one slide up on the guitar, and a few notes

    picked after that, to be made to sound Hawaiian probably.

    (Y) Good find bOnEs! :yes:

    Actually thanks for waking us all up.

    I had been hearing that subliminal tune the whole time.

  7. that sucks about locking the door... there was a ton of power armor lying around back there... do they sell MF cells in that great kahn bunker?? if so, i'll have to go check that out, i forgot about that trade spot...

    on a side note, i think i might be on to something... have you ever heard this scratchy caribbean tune play quietly every now and then?? you might think it's just a part of the soundtrack but you are wrong... i heard that sound while questing thru the REPCONN test site... at first i thought it was perhaps a server or machine putting off this scratchy sound... then, i turn around and notice this on the desk;

    171px-FO3HulaGirl.png

    could this be THAT sound i keep barely noticing in the background?? are these things sensor activated and play a tune when i am near by?? i walked away and returned but it never did anything... i will keep my ears peeled to the environment and be on the lookout for another one in an area i have not yet discovered... i could be on to something here...

    I've seen those things literally everywhere. Never heard anything.

    They are in all offices, and most barracks. Would be cool if they did play a tune.

    On a similar note, we still don't know what the welding rods are for either.

    I still find on occasion, items that can't be picked up. Toy cars, food plants.

    Tonight I examined an ash pile by Crimson Caravan, and a dialog took over. Weird.

    It was a traveling vendor's text about if I need anything. When I finally got

    into the ash pile, and took what was there - loss of karma for pickpocketing! L0L.

    Better than the MF cells, if I didn't mention this here or on the old forum,

    the BoS bunkers that did not lead to the Brotherhood, with all the rubble

    behind the doors - have mini-nukes and other ammo. Jump over the rubble.

    Some may have a hard time because of the high lock skill required, but maybe

    finding rare mini-nukes will give yall incentive to use a lockpick book if

    you don't have the skill. I couldn't believe they had nukes in the rubble.

    Finally turned in my star caps, I actually had 118, more than I thought.

    Wouldn't you know it, the next bottle of Sunset that I drank, had a star cap,

    which quickly the message changed to bottle cap added.

    Has anyone taken the bug-eating perk? I'm getting tired of eating insects.

    Thought after awhile the game would add some form of challenge.

    Nope. Bugs for dessert as well. :lol:

  8. you can check your core DT stats in the items menu... unequip your armor and it should say what it is above the item listings... unfortunately, i destroyed the brotherhood bunker on my caeser file, who happens to be an energy weapons expert so i kind of screwed myself out of regenerating ammo from that container, and from trading with the merchant there as well :P...

    I thought it was pretty stupid that the NCR bitch in command at Hoover

    wanted to destroy it as well. She had almost no alternative dialogs for

    any of her shit missions. Great Khans are allies, totally cool, but not

    to her. You even get bad karma for suggesting that the BoS will support

    the NCR, and she complains that the embassy dude will have a field day.

    There was no way I was going to do what she said, and if that meant failing

    the mission and end of game right there, fine with me. I hated that cunt.

    Turns out the suggested truce gives way to her complaint dialog, and the NCR infamy.

    I'm not sure if you know but after those last missions with either Caesar

    or the NCR bitch, the Great Khan Armory (underground storm cellar) is

    basically closed, you won't have the option to buy or sell with them.

    They were ten times better than the BoS base girl. By the way, after

    the last patch, the hidden back door to her store under the floor, is

    now closed, so no one can sneak in there and steal the stack of T-45d armor....

  9. @synch - i thought you were playing with a hardcore character since you're always mentioning crafting and collecting herbs and stuff... there are cheaper ways to repair your power armor though... steal the supplies lying around in hidden valley, or buy cheap metal armors if you have the jury rigging perk, which i don't know why anyone wouldn't take that perk...

    no wonder you have a shitload of caps, lol... you gotta pay for your highly expensive armor repairs :lol:... bones wears medium armor, which can be scarce to find at times for repair... but delilah and sanchez rock some good light armors, which can be repaired with just about everything...

    delilah is a tank too, she can take some punishment, she has a DT of 5 buck naked :D... putting on some decent light armor makes her just as effective as someone with reinforced armor... and i was actually thinking of upping her DT another 3 points with another perk...

    alas, she is pretty poor though, at only a merely 6,500 caps, she can't really buy anything she wants like my other character bones... he's got over 50,000 caps, and he's even bought all the expensive implants... but she pretty much spends money as soon as she gets it... plus energy weapon ammo isn't nearly as cheap as regular ammo...

    This game, she's like a cyborg terminator but with charisma. :P

    Strength 6

    Perception 7

    Endurance 9

    Charisma 8

    Intelligence 7

    Agility 6

    Luck 7

    Not sure where to see the bare DT level but in most of the

    menus there are a lot of 6's unarmed and no clothes.

    Keep in mind this is only my second game, learned from the first.

    Max out the Strength and Intel at the beginning at the Doc's.

    That way any special books rank, as well as Dr.Usanagi's add-ons. (I have them all)

    It's just the Remnants armor that breaks down.

    I have a tendency to take on 20 enemies at once.

    I have both Remnants sets, one from Gannon, one from the Deathclaw Promentory.

    The T-45d and T-51b sets take damage, but not as much as the Remnants.

    Funny because it's supposedly the strongest armor in the game.

    I used the T-45d gifted armor most of the game.

    Up until the end, I kept very good karma, not stealing, not fighting the Legion, etc.

    No reason to steal, there is free stuff/gifts everywhere, and no one had

    the Gecko backed armor until Honest Hearts. Once I finished everything except

    the final mission and turning in my 114 star bottle caps for the Pew-Pew,

    I massacred the Fort and Caesar in one attack alone. Then started the

    final achievement quest for pickpocketing which really lowers your karma.

    But it's great that at 100 sneak, seems no one can even see you.

    So now back to wasting Fiends at Vault 3 and surrounding hiding places,

    and Ghouls, to bring the karma back up. Will turn in the star caps soon.

    Nope, there's nothing weak about this character. She's also got all the

    special take down moves and that's probably why the damage to the armor,

    likes to fight martial arts bare hand, or poisoned weapons. Very cool.

    Also, the energy ammo is pretty much free at the BoS bases.

    If you're gonna pay this much for a game, get the most out of it.

    I always did with all the GTA games after 100% as well.

    Plus, I just love the option of crafting, repairing, making

    ammo and stuff, it just enhances the Fallout world.

    When I do the hardcore mode game it won't be for exploring, just the achievement.

    And I don't plan that waste of time anytime soon, I want the DLC's first. B)

    The reason I have a shitload of caps is because I explore everything,

    make my own stuff, kill/loot everything, and sell it at max barter. :lol:

  10. i do think i will attempt to tackle zion with my hardcore mexicano, sanchez... this add-on looks like his kind of survivalist environment... i think he will fit in perfectly with the world of zion... perhaps never leaving zion either, lol... he might make it his home to be honest...

    That's for sure, it's a survivalist environment.

    The Yao Guai shred through all my power armor

    and even at over 100,000 caps it gets expensive

    to repair. Another reason I used the White Legs

    and Gecko backed, there's no shortage of it. Also

    even just now, going back for more Tomahawks to

    add poison to, the White Legs take 2-3 blows from

    most weapons. I would say the Giant Greens and Giant

    Yao Guai's are the hardest core. I have tried to stay

    tribal with limited tech but sometimes open a can

    of Flamer+ with a little Ranger's Sequoia on Zion.

    Would be interesting to see how one does in hardcore mode.

    Another bonus there - the clean water for healthing up. (Y)

  11. i only found 4/6 survivalist caches but i did find the survivalist :D... i got every unique item, except for a sorrows outfit... and i am not sure but, i think i missed a few side-quests... not sure how, but i didn't do them all...

    The Survivalist Caches are easy, they're listed in one of the messages to his tribe.

    (Or at least you can calculate and figure from what he writes)

    The Survivalist aka the Father was quite a guy living through two marriages, many kids, watching the

    Vault 22 idiots invade, and protecting and nurturing his tribe. Guy was truly, the Father.

    That was wild how he didn't look at the nuclear blast on the road, and found an old

    couple who did, and became blinded.

    Sat them down, next to each other, told them he was going for help, and used one bullet through two heads.

    Found every location, every rare item, hunted down all the Yao Guai, got Joshua up to 100% repair.

    I gathered all the unique items, including the 2 different Sorrows outfits, the 2

    different White Legs outfits, the Desert Ranger outfit, but even more interesting...

    The Gecko-Backed Metal and Leather Armor, plus the reinforced version of each.

    Stuff is awesome, and it spares me having to fight in one of my two Remnant Power Armor suits.

    So far thanks to the Green Gecko, I have made about a dozen of each of the 4 unique suits of armor,

    as I already had a huge stash of Tanned Fire Gecko, and Tanned Golden Gecko Hides, all I needed was the Green.

    Another very cool craft item I am enjoying from Honest Hearts is the variations of

    Datura poisons/toxins, as I now have a large stash of doses to sit next to my

    Mother of Darkness, Tremble, and Silver Sting. Datura! For when one blow will kill.

    The Tomahawks are absolutely excellent for delivering doses to the face. Try it in Vault 3.

    Another great addition, since I used 3 stash points in Zion, is the scrap metal crafts.

    I used the Sorrows Camp, General Store, and Dead Horses camp, and stashed like over 2,000lbs

    of stuff. The meals-to-metal, and cookery-to-metal abilities totally make use of junk.

    As we all know, scrap metal is extremely valuable for weapons repair kits. Also, now I have

    use for all those 900+ Empty Sunset Sarsaparilla bottles (That the idiots at Wiki keep fucking with my entries.)

    Do it yourself Sunset Sarsaparilla and Nuka Cola, awesome.

    I've made use of every craft-able item and recipe from Zion, my survival skill

    has long since been at 100.

    I don't really use Joshua's or Daniel's outfits, or Salt-Upon-Wounds' Power Fist,

    actually She's Embrace all that much. However I do use the reward War Club given

    after finding the Bighorner Calf and getting it back to its mother. That club,

    with Datura or Mother of Darkness on it, is a one hit kill with the two mods on it.

    Thankfully Zion is a plant re-spawning wonderland for ingredients like Cave Fungus

    (Which easily replaces RadAway), Xander Roots, Datura, or the Spores.

    I just had a dream the other night that if you kill Ulysses, you lose karma and

    can't return to the area.....it's pretty bad when I'm dreaming about this game now.

  12. The Daniel ending, seems actually, another 3 Joshua missions.

    I also do all the optional missions, within missions.

    So the three quests from Joshua are only available in the Joshua ending? That would explain why I didn't get them.

    Actually I said the Daniel ending, seemed actually to add the other 3 Joshua missions.

    There are options in Daniel's ending. On the way to your destination, when you are with

    Joshua, make those side routes, they are missions.

    I didn't really notice or care about any religion, but I did exhaust all dialogs to get

    what I wanted which was all the missions. But when religion was mentioned, it was no big deal.

    The one during the psychedelic mission is so boring all I remember is it led to nothing.

    I actually thought it was a hallucination featuring Joshua, but it was real, and it was

    I think another "side with me or side with Daniel" religious speech.

  13. i heard that unfinished side-quests are terminated at the end of honest hearts... are only the activated quests terminated or are all side-quests removed upon completion?? i would like to know if i need to complete them all before i leave or if i can save them for when i come back...

    I completed every mission in the game. Here's how:

    You must exhaust all possible dialogs with every character you meet.

    For example, there are followers/companions. Their dialogs will reveal

    side missions, and in one case, a companion leads to a person, who

    will give you a side mission. As for the main characters, there are

    two endings, and to get all the achievements, you will have to do both endings.

    I did the Joshua ending first, that is basically, one mission.

    The Daniel ending, seems actually, another 3 Joshua missions.

    I also do all the optional missions, within missions.

    Besides missions, there is also at least 2 mini-quests that I completed.

    One involved finding hidden items, the other involves hunting hidden subjects.

    Best bet is to make key saves so that you don't miss anything.

    It's very short but very sweet.

  14. Interesting note, after telling my Jewish dad about this game(and particular addon) he informed me that Joshua led the tribes of Israel to take over Canaan.

    I forgot what he said about Daniel, I'll have to ask him next time I see him or talk to him. Seeing as he lives hours away and usually only talks about religion, that probably won't be for a while.

    That's fn awesome details, thanks.

  15. so it appears that the voice of the burned man, keith szarabajka, is also the same voice of hershel biggs, your partner at the arson desk in LA noire... he's got a distinct raspy voice, sounds like the perfect choice for the burned man...

    just read the NMA review... damn you hackers!! i want to play this NOW!! :angry:...

    Surprisingly, he's not all that raspy, but his voice is very powerful. The Burned Man wasn't at all what I was expecting him to be after I first heard about him in New Vegas, but he's turned out to be even better than I would have imagined. There's a beautiful mixture of underlying insanity and straightforward, "this is how shit is going to go down, deal with it" motivation. The bible zealotry you saw in the trailer appears to define his character, but the verses he quotes aren't coming from the "love everyone" bullshit that's found in most of the bible.

    Joshua Graham was truly worthy of serving the mighty Caesar, even more so than legate Lanius.

    I hope he's around in the future. I saved quite a few key times in the DLC.

    So if I ever want to go back he will always be there.

    Actually all the new HH characters are pretty cool in their own way.

    Many results in the Mojave from the DLC, good and bad.

    However the dope cookers in the Red Canyon did not

    recognize any new dialogues from discussion with them.

    So maybe this is just new toxins. Or the Great Khans

    did not get included in any dialog updates. Needless

    to say, the tribal in all of us will value from it.

    When you find the root of this issue, it will become clear.

    On another note, it's weird but great to find all vendors

  17. There's at least five caves in the Sorrows' camp, and two entrances to the Survivalist's cave that don't have map markers (though there are white handprints on the outside of both entrances). Make sure you ask Waking Cloud about the Yao Guai Gauntlets and find White Bird's cave, he gives you a fun and trippy quest that ends with you getting a unique gauntlet, but I think it requires Wild Wasteland.

    I think the scripture is just a random decoration item, like the gold bars from Dead Money (unless you actually bothered to get an equivalent amount of Pre-War Money from the holographic merchants in the Villa). No use that I know of.

    This perk is really getting me off right now:

    The option to 'devour puny insect.'

    Plus after finding all the Survivalist's caches,

    finding his body...his final note...and special weapon.

    Can't believe I am at 90,000+ caps from selling shit.

    Kept anything that can be used at a crafting bench/campfire.

    Love the new recipes for consumable, dope, poison, or armor.

    Much less the weapon mods.

    All of which are now available back home in the Mojave.

    Whoa! We got side effects of the DLC! The BOS safehouse

    has been fully re-stocked with heavy weapons and armor!

  18. None of these posts have been spoilers bones, it was all previously known.

    I explored every location while in the game, as always.

    The caves with terminals are a must-do, IMHO.

    I found the storyline to be outstanding and a very honest hearts type of game,

    with plenty of opportunities to gain a lot of good karma. This was short, but very sweet.

    Very humanitarian as opposed to the brutal Mojave or Capitol wasteland scenarios.

    Got all the new and rare weapons, modded fully where applicable.

    Note that the mods and weapons themselves are available back home in the Mojave.

    That is the regular DLC new ones, not the reward or rare weapons.

    Also brought home all of the tribal armor, and rare clothing.

    Finished the DLC again from a late save.

    Daniel's ending, provided the extra 3 missions I was missing. I like both endings.

    Level 40, and final achievement 5/5 May my Hand Forget its Skill

    Took 2 of the new perks when leveling up, and the side effects are interesting.

    I wonder how being at level 40 and 100% in many of the skills will affect the game now....

    Yes that is the soundtrack for Vault 22.

    The only armor I stumbled upon in the world that wasn't tribal was a park rangers hat.

    There is also a ranger outfit, desert ranger. Like the NCR Rangers.

    The long coat with the gas mask like head gear. Pretty cool. I had Joshua repair it up to max. B)

    Note that there are two endings, so you can't get all 5 achievements in one go.

    I went first for the Joshua Graham (Burning Man) ending. Got 4/5 achievements completed.

    Tired now, so will complete the Daniel ending tomorrow night.

    My achievements:

    O Daughter of Babylon

    In a Foreign Land

    Restore Our Fortunes

    When We Remembered Zion

  20. i am totally ready to play this next week... i am pretty sure i'll have LA noire beaten by then, i am on the final desk and on the final few cases...i am eager to play this now...

    without spoiling anything, are there sweet new weapons and armor?? how about recipes and crafting items??

    Yep tribal armor and weapons.

    There are some cool new weapons, and they have mods.

    Also I don't remember melee weapons having mods in NV,

    but there is one here, and you can mod it.

    The recipes have expanded, and for me its a crafting wonderland.

    Lost of new items and the game kind of reinforces that you will

    want to craft certain natural remedies already existing.

    There are a couple really cool recipes for non-food/chems,

    that are similar to the Dead Money additions.

  21. I finally got it working, and I'll agree 100% with Synch. Its a very interesting download, Talking with Joshua is very interesting, you learn more about Caesar and the events leading up to the First Battle of Hoover Dam.

    So far the new companion I have is pretty cool, and I have wild wasteland, some guy with a hilarious name came out of the cave Graham was in and did a cheer and went back in. And I'm only in the second or so quest...as in I JUST met the burned man.

    Same here - Wild Wasteland. Note this, because yesterday the Fallout Wiki was obviously being updated as players were learning. I kept refreshing the Wiki, and all day I never noticed anything about what you and I saw due to having the Wild Wasteland perk. Without spoilers, that guy who did the cheer was a shaman, and his mission ALSO gave the Wild Wasteland symbol. Hopefully others will have the mission available but so far it looks like it is just for that perk. I completed all side missions that I've found so far and that was the only one with the Fallout Boy WW symbol on it.

    [EDIT: It's available to everyone....wonder what the WW is referenced to.]

  22. so, what's your initial impressions, fellas??

    Pretty easy if you are Level 30 and geared up.

    The look and feel is a nice change.

    Got the first two achievements already.

    I had no idea it would be this interesting.

    (Will be boring for some of you, it's that easy.)

    Story wise, I have been exhausting every

    speech option with main characters. It's

    really a total overload of history.

    Just been exploring, trying not to go too fast.

    Found what seems like every location on the map already.

    If I hadn't of shut it off, feels like I could

    have finished it. Got to mind work tomorrow.

    Well if you can play it, good for you. I cant. I may take a video of what happens and youtube it and put it on here.

    Checked the official forums, they offered absolutely no help.

    That sucks man. Weird it goes to black.

    Guess you've already tried everything?

    My 360 hard drive is almost empty except

    for Fallout 3, GTA:IV and Fallout New Vegas.

    I noticed a rather long load time, but it was

    before the part you showed. Just going in the

    door to meet the caravan, took like 3 minutes.

    I just didn't touch it an waited.

    Other than that I thought it was strange because

    it actually seems to flow better than regular New Vegas,

    at least on the strip anyway.

    Can you try re-down-loading it?

  23. Good to hear your lifes been sweet man.

    I'm definitely excited. Can't wait for tomorrow.

    Thanks man. That's the kind of motivation I needed to hear. :yes:

    The last DLC put me off because of the bugs which never got fixed.

    This file, I didn't even finish the factions, and am neutral with

    both Caesar as well as NCR. Didn't do Dead Money yet on this file,

    but was surprised to see that Honest Hearts is already up on XBoxLive.

    Downloading only took a few minutes. So I guess I'll see what's up.

    From a regular current save my girl awoke in Novac room to read this:

    Happy Trails Expedition: Your Pip-Boy has picked up a radio

    broadcast from the Happy Trails Caravan Company. They're looking for

    one more member for an expedition to Zion Valley.

    Honest Hearts has been loaded.

    Your level cap has been raised by 5.

    The map directs you straight to the Northern Passage.

    Happy Trails guys, enjoy the DLC. (Y)
