Fast Travel point locations are awful in NV

Post » Fri Nov 05, 2010 11:12 am

Why, oh why, are there no fast travel points inside the Strip, Camp McCarran, Crimson Caravan, The Mormon Fort... and all the large faction areas??


It is so frustrating having to sit through 4-5 long loading screens every time you have to do a fetch quest in these locations.

Yeah, I'd have to agree... Talent Pool helped me to make up my mind about this. :frog:

Because they could easily be hostile to you. And you can't simply fast travel past the guards.

This. I would have thought that rather obvious. The game isn't going to let you fast travel into faction places that have guards that may be hostile to you. It's annoying but utterly sensible.

Just a guess... but perhaps its to insure that the player cannot bypass a logical impediment by just showing up deep inside the city; could also be to prevent entering areas beyond a scripted encounter (due to quest altering actions by the PC.)

So if that is the case, how come it's not programmed to be turned on or off then? If nutural or they like you, it's on, if they don't like you, then the the quick travel option to go there is off then. Just like you never discovered it. It can be turned on, it should also be alble to be turned off as well.

You can fast travel to Freeside when the Kings are hostile to you, you can fast travel to numerous other NCR/Legion camps where everyone hates you.
