Does anyone know how to get that Trench Coat and Gas mask from the games cover really early? I really, really want it.

Yay Fallout wiki!

I play on the 360, and most of Fame just reset (Cesar's, NCR, Kahn's etc.) does anyone know what would cause this? I am 80% through the game and was (am?) pro NCR and would like to be idolized again. I still have Novac, Strip, Boomer, etc. Fame. I googled some solutions and I tried taking off the NCR armour, but it did not help. Help me Dakka.

Did anyone else feel the game was kinda short...(loading screens aside ).

Not even a little bit.

The main quest is rather short (especially if you tell whoever you're working with to ignore all the other factions), but there are tons of sidequests that can be rather extensive.

I'm 50 hours in and have just now killed Benny.

Ditto. I had to force myself to get back on the main quest. Everytime I approached vegas 5 new quests would pop up.

Yep. Loads of content, the main quest can be short but there's so much other things to see and do (about to go diving).

I believe it's Xbox exclusive at first but will open up to PS3/PC at a later date. Isn't that how FO3 DLC worked?

yes. I'm not sure if PS3 got all the DLC though.

PS3 did indeed get them all. I would imagine you'll see it for the other platforms soon.

It did, just late.

MS pays big bucks to get limited exclusives. Sometimes only 3 months. Its friggin microsoft they've got the money to spare.

Because Sony struggles to make a profit, right?

Yes. Every other company, save Microsoft, makes GW Money. It's the law.

Finally made it back to civilization (full internet access). Called Bethesda and they said that the issue is know and the fix will happen this week or next. They said to wait for the patch or when going into NV, were "Old Cowboy Hat." I gave that a try and bingo! As long as I am wereing the hat, I can go around NV and such.

I tried going through McCarren and took the monorail. Got to the strip and it paused and once the npcs showed up the game froze. So, I just stick w/ the "Old Cowboy Hat."

I think that the reason the game is "short" is the main focus is on your "relations" w/ the other factions. It is okay, but if you want to explore the game is lacking.

I have to say the moment that had me laughing was the whole looking for "escorts." When finding "F.I.S.T.O." and getting his upgrade, it asked if you wanted to try it out. Morbid curiosity had me try it. Something to the effect of, "Brace yourself." Mechanical whirling and the screen goes black. MAN! Gotta love the twisted brand of humor that Fallout has.

There's supposed to be an "all-comprehensive" patch coming out this month. I've been luckly only had 1 bug and it didn't cause to much trouble.

Are these patches/bug fixes being applied to console versions as well? I don't want to end up getting this only to find that I'm stuck with the bugs.

The only serious bugs I have had to contend with were my reputation being reset for a day and ED-E (a companion) disappearing (he still hasn't shown up after more than a week in game). I have played buggier games, but I am hoping that a patch will give me ED-E back.

Historically, the console patch has come a day or two after the PC one.

Have you gone back to Primm to see if he somehow returned to his starting location? I know that sometimes my companions sort of vanish between loading screens, but usually all it takes is a quick jump back and forth for them to show up.

On one occasion I fast travelled to the Gun Runenrs and when I turned around to get something off of Boone he had started directly away from me for no reason. He ran back after a few minutes. It was wierd, but also a little funny.

I have Cass and ED-E as followers. I fast traveled and ED stayed w/ me but Cass accually ran from where we were to catch up w/ us. Just one of the weird bugs.

I have tried looking in Primm, and the Lucky 38 with no success. I even tried the Vault 22 Elevator trick (which is supposed to bring your active companions to you regardless of where they are), but still no ED-E. I am playing in hardcore mode, so I know he's not dead because I did not get a message alerting me. People still comment on "that robot" even though ED-E is nowhere to be seen. I even still have his perk, and Rex refuses to join (he "growls at ED-E's presence when I ask him to join). I don't know what happened and I hope a patch comes out soon to fix it. As frustrations go though, this is relatively small. I have yet to get stuck somewhere, I haven't fallen through any floors, and the game hasn't frozen. I still highly recommend the game.

Hit another bug, and it's pretty annoying. At some point in time, Veronica decided she didnt want to follow me, but rather just stand around without her power fist. If I get into combat she'll suddenly run up to help out and as soon as it's over she initiaties generic conversation with me (meaning it's nothing pretaining to the story). Very frustrating, but I still enjoy the hell outta the game.

I hear this game has realy bad graphic glitches,but good play. The graphic glitches are the thing that's making me not get it.

First DLC coming out for Xbox 360 on the 21st.
