Few newbie questions

Post » Wed Sep 01, 2010 9:51 am

Hi all, I am playing this great game for few days now and I have some questions about it:

1.Why can my character stay underwater for only few second? Is there any skill or item how to improve it?

2. Is there another way how to repair armor beside at the shop (way too expensive) or by finding the same one? I am now at level 20 but i still often have to walk around in my basic suit, because i don't have 2k or more to repair my armor.

3. I got quest "Hard luck blues", located vault 34, killed all in my way but I can't continue any further, because every door that I could have continue further requies a "vault 34 key" which I don't have. Where can get it?

4. Quest "I put a spell on you". They told me that I should watch over the tover at night, and that there is always someone around 1 am. I was there few nights, but no one shows up. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help!

It is to induce the real-feeling of swimming underwater, you have a set O2 level for breathing underwater.

Spoiler
There is a rebreather given during Volare quest, if you speak to Jack in the Airbase.



2. Is there another way how to repair armor beside at the shop (way too expensive) or by finding the same one? I am now at level 20 but i still often have to walk around in my basic suit, because i don't have 2k or more to repair my armor.


There is a perk that requires 90 Repair SP, which allows you to repair a lot of items using most scavenged items.

Spoiler
The perk is called Jury Rigging, Level 14/ 90Repair SP +.


3. I got quest "Hard luck blues", located vault 34, killed all in my way but I can't continue any further, because every door that I could have continue further requies a "vault 34 key" which I don't have. Where can get it?

I have not done those quests, sorry. Glad your enjoying it.

1. After the Volare! quest for the Boomers you receive a Re-breather which allows you to breath underwater.

2. At the beginning I used my basic suit for a long time. Eventually you'll find enough caps and everything to repair them. If your still having trouble take the Jury Rigger perk which allows you to repair expensive items with cheap ones.

3. Vault 34 is a rather complicated dungeon but all those doors can be opened by finding a computer and unlocking those locations with the last options. There are two computers that need to be unlocked.

4. I had trouble with this one as well. I'm not sure exactly what I did to fix it but you need to stay outside and hidden from the entrance until said person enters the tower.

Thx both of you, this will help.

Do you remember where are those computers, or is there already a topic about it? First, i located this vault by accident, got into entrance level but it was too tough for me, so i returned later to examinate it more. At entrance level, there is one computer upstairs, but it is of no use, only some info. Downstairs, there I found no computers at all, I only managed to dive in one floated stairs and recover some code. There are also one locked doors underwater. The quest arrow points me to "reactor level" doors, but those are locked as well. I can continue down into "armory level", but there is only a little room and doors next are locked... Thanks for help, it's very frustrating:)

Pertaining to Vault 34, this is a very helpful two part video from a Youtuber named TheTuninator, he makes a lot of FO:NV help videos.

Spoiler
The Pulse Gun can be acquired with a high enough Lockpick skill, it's not a quest exclusive weapon.

Vault 34:
Spoiler
There are 2 underwater areas in the vault, located next to water spilling out of a pipe. In each under water area is a dead Glowing One. Loot them for the passwords, after getting both you can enter the overseers office


I Put A Spell On You:
Spoiler
I never was able to actually see the person approach/enter the tower. However I would just wait until after 1AM then enter the tower and he would already be at the top.

Thanks, this is great lol.


What armor are you trying to repair? You need the same kind to repair it with.


Currently Recon armor, 8,5k for repairs, I also have combat armor, which costs about the same. I now have hardly earned 9,5k, so I am not ready to spent it all on armor repairs:) Btw I though that I will be able to repair recon armor with combat, since both are medium armors, but I guess I need the exact one.

Edit: it seems to me that is cheaper to buy another armor (or helmet) to repair current one. Can this be true?:-)
