Horrible, just horrible.

<< < (2/2)

Jeoshua:
That very scenario happened to me, too.  Then again, another time someone failed robbing me and I was given a nice, big, red message that said

"someone failed to rob you"

Which I took as a license to kill... you know what?

It was  ;D

Ok... So.  My little story now, so you know you're not alone.

I'm wandering through the desert and get beset upon by a grue.  Doesn't matter what killed me it's not important to the story.

So I regen right next to Vault City.  My tent, with all my backup gear, is way down near The Hub.  But I've heard that Vault City has a train station.  No need going past all that space in-between, I just need to get the train, and I'll be able to take the train down to Adytum and I'll be that much closer to home!

So I get to Vault City.  But I'm broke.  I figure it'd take 60 shit-scoopings to even get into town, and I don't have all freaking day.  I notice two people in Happy Harry's in nice looking gear, and I figure I might ask them for help.

Girl: "Awww... you're begging for change?"

Me: "Yeah, shitty ain't it?"

So she drops some caps and a hammer, telling me about the mine nearby.  And as I'm typing thanks, some guy comes in and takes the stuff she dropped!

"Hey!" I say, and block the door to tell him to give it back.

And a guard shoots me in the back, then walks away... leaving me at -15 hitpoints

"...fucking guards..."

A second guard runs into the door at that very moment and shots me in the head.  Blood is flowing everywhere now.

"...i'm beginning to hate this game..."

I didn't mention walking out to the desert to stop playing and having a random encounter inside the green triangle after i had stopped moving, then for some reason the game loading 'realtime' instead of turn based. Killed in seconds by marauders, just as I was finally feeling accomplished. Lost my nice leather jacket, and a hunting rifle.

Also a pack of cards weighs almost 1kg. What's up with that?

corosive:
lol dude it's just like fallout 1-2 remember how hard that game was? think of the save/reload feature the same thing as dying and respawning.

I hate to say it but the wasteland is harsh and without a tent you can't store or keep anything for more then a few hours since we all always die eventually. You need a tent man badly, or if you want why dont you think about joining a gang? They normally help out with equipment and xp. And i can promise you that with your own gang base dying is nothing, its just another trip to your base.

Best advice we can give you however is to check out the guides online. Don't trust anyone. Don't stand still in towns and don't let players touch you. Stay away from NCR and the northern towns. Your best bet is to hang around Junktown and The Hub, they are the most (more or less) safe towns out there.  You might want to remake your character with the thought of what you want to be at level 21, plan your perks in advanced. Things like that... just go out and cruise the forums you'll learn from our bad experiances lol.

Btw for the record lol I was that player giving out that sledge while some russian came up and stole it lol. I hate to say this but i'm also probably that same guy that told you off then shot you... it is pretty funny sometimes and just sometimes its one of the best ways to learn: Run away from players, or shoot em on sight. The wasteland is harsh and there are no cops.

first up, had to delete my second account because once again i messed up a 'build'

made new character

Got quest from leeroy, Walked into VC.

witnessed what I guess was a hacker (named rusty) walking around being shot by every guard in town and taking no damage
while I was watching this I was pickpocketed by a fellow blueshirt.

"Someone tried to rob you.."
for fucks sake i think, is anybody in this game not an asshole? i decide to punch the guy.
"you missed"
"you missed"
"you missed"
At this point the guards turn their attention towards me

the thief says: 'WTF LOL!' and then loots my corpse.

playtime: 3 minutes.


might persevere another day.

Hehe, Rusty is a GM if I'm not mistaken. GM's and other admin type people often do that for fun and testing shit. This is a beta after all.

Just keep playing and learn from you mistakes, plan your character ahead of time, and make sure you do the small time quests.

You can also make a quick profit just from scavenging cities for junk (I suggest the city area around the vault 15 circle), and then trading it for items down at NCR, VC, Junktown or Hub. Just be quick about it, thieves are everywhere.

Try to gain your first level in easy quests and shit shoveling, then dump all those points into your tagged combat skill, and then go out and kill scorpions and other low level critters. Make sure Turn based is on by default when you go out into the wastes.

AND REMEMBER:

TRUST NO ONE
