I finally purchased this....and while the game is about as graceful as two left feet,(i play in 3rd person)...i\'m really liking the post-apocolyptic scenery....i just came out of the shelter and i\'m doing "follow his footsteps", but i took a detour to springdale elementary school and i\'m just killing the "raiders" as they\'re called in there.

I only use the VATS system in this game when shooting, and the melee combat can be incredibly awkward at times....but i like how the game is kinda wide open,....my only question is...how do you build up your AP so that you can have a sizable amount to use for the VATS system?...i found myself running out of AP waaay too quickly when i\'m fighting enemies.

XP through leveling up and this stuff called Jet that i never use. I usually do half and half, shoot with first person and finish them off with VATS or vice versa

i really dont know how you\'re playing in third person,lol

I explore in 3rd person...and i also shoot in 3rd person, but i only get off a couple of shots before i go into the VATS system. Thanks for the info. :fro:

The game is much better in first person perspective. I dunno why anyone needs to look at their character\'s back to tell what\'s going on.

If I recall correctly, you can increase your APs by increasing your Agility or you can take a Perk that increases your APs. Some weapons, especially rifles used at long range work better without using VATS.

Game got WAY too easy by the halfway point. I really lost all interest in doing side missions by that point and I just waltzed through the rest of the main quest.

That is true. Your character becomes UBER at a certain point, and the challenge presented by the enemies does not scale up appropriately. In spite of that, I still enjoy skating through and destroying the opposition.

Uhm...how do you receive cash or "caps" in this game?...is the only way to make money is by doing the side missions or the main quests themselves? I\'m in megaton and i want to smash a prostitute (yes my ambitions are low at the moment..

)...but later on i would like to have money for bigger and better weapons...any ideas or am i being a tad impatient?

Sell shit. If you\'re going to be evil, steal and sell shit. Otherwise pick up stuff off the bodies you kill. If you\'re going for long hauls, you might want to consider repairing weapons so you can carry more, higher quality goods until you can reach a merchant. Of course that depends on your repair skill (ended up with 95 on my char.)

Another question......."SPOILERS".....................

I finally found my father and apparently he still wants to proceed with his project...i\'ve decided to go with him to the facility with all of the other scientists, but now i kinda want to continue exploring....but i want to know that if i just go off and start exploring again, will he just stay at that facility until i\'m done or will he and the other scientists just up and leave after they\'ve finished whatever they are doing in that building?

My other question is, how in the world do you figure out the password for the computer terminals? I can gain access to them and i always get to the point to where it states you get 4 tries to attemp the password, but i have no idea how you\'re supposed to know....i\'ve tried wrting some of the words that you see on the computer screen itself, but when i get to my very last attemp, i just stop because it states that if i get one more attemp wrong, the system will lock me out...so how do you figure out the passwords for those terminals?

The game won\'t ever skip over a quest due to time (that was only in Fallout 1 that anything was time based) so you have nothing to worry there, although you\'re nowhere near the end of the game so you can explore AFTER that quest as well.

As far as the computer hacking goes....

The concept is derived from this board game, you can figure it out from there.

my trick for the computer terminals is to pick words with the same endings. usually there\'s like 4 words with a \'ING\' or \'END\'...then if you get 4 right letters then all you have to do is find one of the letters before the -ing to match what the password is. If it\'s 0 correct letters then you know its one of the few other ones without the -ing

Ahhh....thanks gentlemen....:fro:

Make three attempts, then if you still don\'t have it, start looking for the bracket pairs. Usually after clicking 2 or 3 bracket pairs, one of them will reset your allotment of attempts.

Damn...ya\'ll..i hate to be a pain in the ass, but how do you guys manage your weapons? or inventory for that matter?....."spoilers"...........

I managed to find the brotherhood base and i have the advanced armor training, but while exploring, some outcasts troops killed some enclave troops and i\'ve managed to get the the advanced enclave armor, but it\'s too heavy for me, and in order for it to not weigh me down i either have to eat a bunch of health packs or food or get rid of some heavy weapons, but i\'m afraid to get rid of any of the weapons i have already and i don\'t think eating health packs just so i can wear this thing is good strategy.

I find myself always at the point where if i grab one more item, my character will run slow, but when i check my inventory, it just seems like i need everything that\'s in there...maybe i\'m not organizing everything right, but i just wanted to know, what items do you guys carry with you ALL the time, and what items do you put away?

*i already have that perk that allows you to carry more items....i peak at 260 before everything becomes too heavy at 261*

Viper_Fujax · « **Reply #74 on:** July 01, 2009, 07:50:11 PM »

I\'m pretty sure you can get that perk more than once..i think thats what I did

but even then, if you have 500 points to work with you\'ll probably run into the same problem. im definitly a horde with stuff like this in games and always ran into the problem of having to drop something if I pick up something new.

But even with all that said, i still was able to carry a shit-load of guns and the brotherhood armor (or whatever). Just couldnt have too many alternative outfits and I didnt carry stuff like meats and any aids that give you rads at the same time...not too big a deal though since i have like 150 stimpacks

i also put a few of my weaker guns in my room in megaton
