New things Options

[Lopov]

I'm creating this thread with an intention not to clutter the Where are you thread? with things we discover in the Fallout University for the 1st time and would like to share them with others. Since some discoveries may be considered spoilers, read ahead at your own risk.

I'll copy some of my own posts from the Where am I thread:

Yesterday I did some testing with reputation in FNV, and gained the Wild Child rep. in Goodpsrings. Turns out that Chet has some unique dialogue for you in this case, he says that you remind him of himself when he came to town, and as such he gives you a wholesale discount. I didn't know about this but I never had the Wild Child rep. in Goodsprings either. In any case, this discount isn't mentioned on the official FNV wiki but I found it mentioned in the Users Talk section.

I've never killed Cobb before doing the related quest so it was interesting to see that both Sunny and Trudy comment on his premature death, wondering whether it was just out of sheer fun and whether that should bring more problems to Goodpsrings. Ringo's dialogue is also slightly different when you approach him for the 1st time because Webb already killed Cobb before talking to Ringo.

And now I'm adding one event from today. Not sure what happened to the console but whenever I opened it, I saw that all previous fights have been recorded in details. I've never seen this before.

Here's a pic.

The most hilarious line is Alan Webb hits Alan Webb... ...because he tossed a grenade at a cazador and obviously hurt himself in the process.

Deathclaws respawn.

"Duh, lots of enemies do Renee!"

no, I mean, they respawn, but they do not come from percentage-chance leveled lists as are often found in ES games. Meaning that there is no chance of them not showing up. Meaning that they are basically hand-placed, and always come back after 3 days (I think it's 3 days in this game).

In other words, in the base game, raiders in (let's say) Super Duper Mart will not come back after we pwn them all. Deathies in Olney Power Plant will though. Because they are literally hand-placed with the respawn toggle on, every time. And this means that when Cho Zen Wan went back into Olney recently, I was expecting there to be no deathies in the initial tunnels. But they were all there, dangit.

And I admit no shame in saying I changed this in my game. Turned the respawn toggle off, because such a large land animal could not possibly replace itself in such numbers (we're talking about nearly a dozen of them in those tunnels alone) here on Earth. In Elder Scrolls games, you can always blame magic. "Oh, they come back because of magic!" Not so here in Fallout.

Man I'm so glad I'm doing Broken Steel on PC though. There's no way I would enjoy it on Xbox. Cho would not only have no followers with him, but he'd be forced to either fight all those deathies over and over, or he'd be relying on so much Stealth Boy it's not even funny.
