So, I got Fallout, and I've been having fun with it. I did a few quests, hired Ian, and decided to head towards Junktown. The guy outside says its fine to use my weapon, but only in self defense. So, I'm wandering around and walk into a hotel, where this lady starts yelling at me. I kindly introduce myself, but then I tell her to bring it on. She's a member of the Skulz, so the gang attacks me. I kill them all, and loot them, but now whenever a guard sees me, he starts to attack. Obviously, the game misinterpreted my weapon usage, so how long do I have to leave, or what do I have to do to get the guards friendly again?

Did you put your gun away in your inventory because that could have prevented this mess in first place I reckon.

Hmmm... dunno for sure but I think when a town gets hostile towards you, there is no turning back the clock. They will stay that way forever.

You can always try to wait a few days and see what happens.

Maybe this will help (caution spoilers!): http://user.tninet.se/~jyg699a/fallout.html#junk

Its fine, I loaded up an old save. Thanks for trying to help, though!

Make sure your weapons are concealed.

I wouldn't recommend taking on the Skulls just for the heck of it, they are a part of a quest chain.

Yeah, I already loaded up a save and got the water chip. I'll do that quest later.
