Giant rad scorpions

Post » Tue Aug 25, 2009 8:38 pm

This i my third playthough and for some reason this time around giant rad scopions keep attacking good springs. IM only Lvl 4 and as of now the only surviving members of goodsprings are sunny and chet. i about crapped my self when i used a buffout so i could travel there to sell some goods and found a gaint radscopion waiting in front of the gernal store. Damb buffout wore off to need less to say i dropped some crapp and ran like hell. luckly for me he got stuck on a fence and let me bee sting him to death. LOL what the is this the game is hard enough at low levels wiht out having to constanly be harassed by giant rad scopion. i was few glad that over then i went to primm messed around and when i came back there was another one. WTF guess it was his brother or something im. so i lured him to the fence and killed him. I dont think this will work much longer seeing as im getting really low on ammo. since i started playing this is the third giant radscropion that has ambushed me at good springs. WHY.

i've played the majority of the game through twice now, and there were far more bugs, glitches and people dying due to abnormal occurences the second time round then before, i didnt think it were possible... :(

This, is intriguing though, sounds bad man

There seems to be a bug that sometimes causes creatures to "migrate" to completely unrelated areas, and never reset to their original spawn location. They will instead continue to respawn in the area to which they "migrated."

I have a bark scorpion that somehow got moved to the dirt path leading up to Goodsprings Graveyard. There are normally no bark scorpions anywhere in that area, only just radscorpions further North in the Radscorpion Gulch. I can only guess that sometimes how it happens is when the corpse falls through the ground, it sometimes will pop up in another location "stretching" up through the ground as though trying to launch into the air but being stuck. Sometimes the corpse does make it through, and the respawn scripting works on the basis that the creature respawns where the body was last located.

I'm not so sure about that. In both games I have played, I get an occasional bark scorpion up there. I suspect that the Giants in town followed the courier from over near the Yangtze Monument/Abandoned Hut. I had to abandon that hut myself when two of the things showed up there!

I have seen these Bark Scorpions each time I have done the Tutorial. There are usually two near the graveyard path. They don't show up until the you get the quest to fetch the ingredients.

The first on i saw chased me for a while up to the graveyard i left him there hoping he wouldnt be to much of a problem but later i found in good springs the one i killed with the fence. since then every so often a new one shows up. i have noticed that the body of the old on is always gone.(i was thinking about piling up the bodys and taking a pic.)

Seriously? That's weird for me, then again I tend to play the hell out of each character I start before making a new one, so I don't restart very often, if much at all. First time out, I never had any bark scorpions, but that might've been because I skipped the tutorial quest for ingredients fetching on that one. I just wanted to get to shooting things in a hurry. On my current, there is one and has only been one. There's supposed to be more than one on that path?

Every 72-74 in-game hours, a given area (called "cell," basically either an indoors area or a single section of the overworld map) will reset, meaning items are restored to original positions and any and all killable creatures that aren't unique will "respawn," typically in the spot where the body last lay when killed. That new one that shows up is actually the same one that followed you, only just respawned back into the game since you were away from the area for long enough.

This. Just drag the body off and you should be fine. A guy kept having a reaver respawn in prim because it died there. Just drag the body off.

Giant rad scorpions are killing our herds, and now the beasts are attacking my people, Razlo is trying to find a cure for their poison, but i am not sure how it goes.

Did you bring a Giant Radscorpion in to Goodsprings in the first place? I brung one in Goodsprings and it spawns every 3 days. The worst thing is, it spawns right in front where I appear when I fast travel. This was on my 1st playthrough.

This happened to me when I installed the latest patch, along with Dead Money, on the 360. Giant radscorpion would spawn at Goodsprings, and cazadores would spawn at Jacobstown. Luckily I was at a high level, but it hasn't happened on any playthrough since. I assumed that the patch had introduced random encounters, or at least new scripted ones, so I guess I was just experiencing the "corpse relocation" glitch mentioned above.

i find that there's really not much you can do against them at such a low level other than run like hell. lol

So that's why I had a random Deathclaw Alpha Male spawn outside of Hidden Valley. I've never had any problems with Goodsprings although I usually don't stick around at that place.

Not that I'm complaining, but why is it that I only found a herd (?) of deathclaws at the quarry and nowhere else in the entire game? :confused:

You have been that many places I guess. I have found them in many places, but I do get around.

There's also a pack of them around Gypsum Trainyard but they hardly ever respawn.

On that note, could my game be bugged? Some of you mentioned 3 days but i haven't seen a single deathclaw respawn in Quarry Junction ever since i first wiped them out and that must have been 30+ gameplay hours ago.

I'm almost positive enemies don't respawn after you kill them. Like I said, I haven't had many encounters other than that one that i mentioned earlier, but I know the Cazadors and Radscorpions and Geckos haven't respawned, so I assume neither do the Deathclaws.
