Synch 476 Report post Posted August 15, 2011 As far as I know, they don't spawn anywhere. They're extremely rare, and after you buy them from Mick & Ralph's, they don't show up anywhere else. I exhausted Mick's stash of throwing knives and throwing hatchets early on. (Note to bOnEs, speech check for special inventory, maybe that's why you don't see them.) Have also found a few from Chet in Goodsprings, and Blake at Crimson Caravan Company. Same with the throwing hatchets, which are even more rare, but still found in those 3 places. Also I bought a whopping 4 throwing hatchets at a time from the Great Khan Armory, when they were in business. One of the final missions, I think saving Kimball, makes them stop the sales dialog. Then the dialog "Why would anyone save that bastard" takes over. That's why I think it was that mission. Otherwise, the Great Khan Armory was fantastic to buy from. You might also try the Hoover Dam Armory, at one point they had over 100 of the 40mm grenades. Plus a lot of other ammo and weapons, but at that point I wasn't looking for thrown weapons so I didn't check. Maybe I'll go back to Hoover today and talk to that quartermaster dude, and the quartermaster lady at the BoS Hidden Valley trading post. Mostly I rely on the large amount of spears dropped by dead Legionaries, and tomahawks from the White Legs. At peak, I had like 15 throwing knives and 20 or so throwing hatchets.

CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted August 15, 2011 yea, i got lots of spears and tomahawks in stock... probably at least 150 spears... ohh well, they don't deal nearly the amount of damage that throwing spears can inflict and weigh exactly the same... i guess the spears are still the better option...

Synch 476 Report post Posted August 15, 2011 I just went to Hoover Dam Armory and he had nothing, same for Hidden Valley. However the female quartermaster is always loaded with stuff somehow. When going to the "other" Hidden Valley bunkers don't forget to grab the mini-nukes. For me the knives are by far the best for accuracy, over the sloppy spears. Still the best is the Tomahawks the way the grab the whole face. Now I've broken my own game record and accumulated 205,368 bottle caps. Plus there's all this in my safe when I want to start gambling. $100 NCR (26) $20 NCR (58) $5 NCR (138) Legion Aureus (9) Legion Denarius (2312) Pre-War Money (797) Still need to learn Caravan.

CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted August 16, 2011 caravan is only useful (profitable) with people that aren't vendors since the money they play with is also what they trade with... but i am not sure if there's a non-merchant caravan player with a lot of caps to gamble with... i tend to try and clean out some vendors with fully repaired rifles and shit, which is much quicker than it is playing a hand of caravan... however, it's quite useful for when you need money and don't have the proper items for sale... i got the trophy (achievement) before they patched the game... haven't played it since, i should try it out again and see if the computer really has upped it's game... they never played anything on my caravans pre-patch... here's a link to the peeps that play it... like i predicted, those who aren't merchants don't have many caps to play with... ambassador crocker seems to be the only exception to the rule as he has 2,000 caps to play with... http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Caravan_%28game%29#Caravan_players Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mad Dooby 64 Report post Posted August 17, 2011 just heard from my buddy today, fallout 4 is said to be in San Fransico, yay, more gay followers!!! release date is set for next fall, and im sure there will be something about the book of eli in this game Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qdeathstar 1763 Report post Posted August 17, 2011 Why would there be something about the book of eli in a fallout game set in the alternate reality 1950s/2150s??? As far as gay followers, it did seem all the proud americans in fallout vegas were QDs just for the sake of proud americanry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fallout 4 is comming out next fall i did scroll up, but i don't see how that's possible since it hasn't been announced yet... sorry, but your buddies word isn't enough to convince me it's taking place in san francisco, or that it's coming out next year... unless they've been working with the new iD engine, or bethesda's new engine for a few years now, i don't foresee a release next year... if it's going to come out next fall, then i fear that they may be using the gamebryo engine still... and that would be most unfortunate as it's severely outdated... i would still play it, but fallout needs a new operating system... ...and what's this die hard reference from fallout 3?? @stoic - honest hearts is set during a tribal war deep in the heart of utah, it's the story of the burned man and his people... and old world blues literally seems like a sci-fi movie, consisting of remarks about penis feet (which shows how funny this DLC is)... i would suggest both, but if you want just one, go with old world blues...

Synch 476 Report post Posted August 22, 2011 This is a good read: http://fallout.wikia...allout_Timeline So many details that I didn't know from earlier games. The only thing that I thought was missing and should've been mentioned was that Mr.House shot down the nukes, preventing Vegas from being destroyed. Other than that - awesome.

So your saying you never heard Mr House say he shot down the nukes in New Vegas? I'm pretty sure he says it when you get talking to him a bit, and so does Yes Man in a round about way when you talk to him too scratch that i see what you mean, maybe i should have read it first Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 that's not punishment, that's one of the best video game songs in quite some time... it's eerily spot on 50's, with a chilly vibe only felt by those who understand the pre-war history of the fallout universe... i am glad there's now a radio station from OWB that actually plays it from time to time... and lol, the mad dooby is learning quickly... synch is the fallout master... he's knows everything... i've shown him a few things though, like the hula girl trick ... still gets me excited when i hear it, i immediately start the search... i've been fooled by the big rusty tape-deck looking machines though, they have a similar sound, but very short compared to the hula girl...

The Mad Dooby 64 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 It took me 3 hours to read the whole timeline and another hour to read all the characters I forgot/didnt know. I now understand the parrallel universe know as Fallout, and it was extremely worth it. I knew bits and pieces of it before but now it has all been put together for me Bethesda's writers are freakishly good at what they do, creating a timeline that is both connectable to our own and even possible. thank you for posting that timeline 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted August 25, 2011 http://www.bethblog....one-week-later/ say wha?!?!?! thanks to facebook, i posted this well ahead of anyone else on the web... i would like to know about the gun runners arsenal... and i knew this was going to happen, this is being release the day i leave for my golfing vacation up north... seems like bethesda likes to time their DLC's around other events for me ... honest hearts came out when LA noire did, old world blues while i was renting infamous 2 for half the price... couldn't pass up on that opportunity... can't remember what slightly delayed dead money for me anymore... ohh, and i'll make one of those meme things later today ... EDIT: wow, apparently the vault got a hold of a few images instead of the one from the blog post... http://fallout.wikia...senal_announced looks like the col. autumn overcoat makes a return, as well as a few different weapons... and what the fuck is this thing?! and i guess there's 27 unique weapons in the gun runners pack, inlcuding achievements and trophies... so i am assuming that this gun runners pack will be a sort of mini-quest then, instead of giving you 27 unique weapons to start the game with... perhaps it's sort of an easter egg hunt style of DLC...

The Mad Dooby 64 Report post Posted August 25, 2011 Thats what fallout has always been, and it would make sense if it wasnt a full add on considering that Bethesa/Obsidian only wants to make the level cap 50 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Massacre 7646 Report post Posted August 25, 2011 See, I fucking told you they'd release it the same day as Gears 3. Motherfuckers... ... That being said, I'll be buying all three of these DLC's. I mean, at $1.99, the pre-order bonuses are hard to pass up, and $3.99 is more than fair for a good weapon hunt. They should've been releasing this kind of DLC all along, give us something to do while waiting for the real DLC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaPn bOnEs 8527 Report post Posted August 25, 2011 i hope they throw some free mini-nukes into the weapon arsenal... one character only has 2, the other has maybe 4?? not enough to even whip out the fatman for testing... perhaps there's a stockpile in hopeville... but the weapon hunt sounds like fun, perhaps they might consider an armor hunt DLC... i just hope that the 27 unique weapons doesn't include mods to existing weapons, which would make the number of new weapons drastically lower than 27... i am kind of curious as to what you can do with that nuclear warhead in hopeville... mwaahahahahahahaha....
