With Old World Blues, the weapon selection got a little more balanced, but Explosives didn't get any attention (They WERE going to, but the Scorpion Rifle and Spider Rifle got cut from Old World Blues).

Explosives have shoulder mounted missile launchers, grenade launchers, landmines, grenade machine guns and of course regular grenades and it has detonator C4. The only missing explosive weapon I'd say would be a cheaper detonator weapon. Say using dynamite.
You also forgot the grunt perk effects several nice explosive weapons to, and the emitter is really only one weapon with lots of features, none of which are all that useful in combat.

:spotted owl: The last hurricane to hit California was in 1858; there are not hurricanes over here. If you are looking for the correct location, hurricanes happen in the south eastern, and east coasts of the United States more commonly. Usually, if a hurricane gets near California it diverts back to sea. The area on land and near the coast just get a lot of rain.

says you, i liquified a freagin Lobotomite in 1 shot fo the emiter operah also chared them to ash with tarantula and knocked them off their feet in 1 shot with gabriels bark try it sometime it will suprise you.

1. Yaaaaaaay~~ ED-E's my favorite companion!

2. Finding upgrades for ED-E, an Enclave design, DOES seem to imply Enclave involvement with the Divide.

3. "Hometown Hero" seems to imply the Courier is from there.


Am I the only one that now wonders if the Courier is pure human?

I'm kind of curious as to how a DLC trumped up to be 'the final decision between the couriers, one with the flag of the old world on his back' has no 'Made up your mind on Ulysses'. Kind of disappointed that bit was left out actually :sadvaultboy:

It kinda makes it look like, yes, you do have to fight Ulysses.

*clears throat* Have you forgotten about the Great War?
A lot has changed even weather patterns

I will say ED-E is my most common companion,


That is an odd one, ED-E was designed back at Adam's Airforce Base after all. So what eyebot upgrades would be lost in the divide?


Maybe, but it could refer to Ulysses, after all the DLC is supposed to be about him and the Courier. And didn't one of the developers mention the Courier would not have a offically defined background?

Ugh, I sincerely hope not, or I'm going to throw a grump. Usually, people you end up fighting are one dimensional dikes who serve no purpose as filler.

That's usually the assumption of a lot of people. But saying he's from there is only implying a birth place. Everything else about him is made up by the player. A lot of RPG's do this, they take a character with some history and you build around the rest. I like it that way if executed correctly.

I wonder when it'll come out. It excites me.

Exactly. I struggle to see how the Enclave wouldn't have SOME involvement with this DLC, even if it's nothing more than an old abandoned base of theirs being found by Ulysses.



The other interpretation of that achievement could be that the Mojave is the Courier's "hometown" and he saved the Mojave from a serious threat in the Divide.

As for how much of the Courier will be defined, who knows? His dialog already suggests he's been to New Reno and that he's a player (yes all dialog is optional but the lines that imply this are hard to ignore); it's kind of hard to measure how DEFINING a specific trait is. Being designated as being pure human may be no big deal for one player and completely roleplay-breaking for another.

If the Enclave has any involvement, it better be done right.

Otherwise, ED-E in the Divide reminds me of one of the first released trailers. When ED-E was floating down a lonely road and getting shots. Curious to know if it was intentional foreshadowing or not, interesting if it was.

I have to admit, I do wonder how they're gonna pull off tying ED-E, a new state-of-the-art eyebot, to the Divide, which has been destroyed for at least a couple years, with the West coast Enclave being out of the scene for several years now.
Chris Avellone is in charge of this DLC though and until now we've seen some pretty good storywriting in Old World Blues and Dead Money. I bet they can pull it off again.

Ohh that is a clever way to see it

But the dialog is optional so its not set in stone. The Courier can for example say he doesn't know what a fish is or he can explain in detail what one is.


That could be it perhaps ED-E was shot up in the divide and someone took him back to the Mojave.

I hope "The Divide's signature weapon" is a missile launcher style Rock-IT launcher. :drool:

It's probably some devistating overpowered bull [censored].

This is the last chance to release something like that, so they might as well.

ENCLAVE!! I freakin' told ya's!!

SWEET!

wait wait wait. I was under the impression that Sawyer wrote Lonesome Road......Avellone wrote Dead Money ( which I hated)....Sawyer wrote Honest Heartts (which I loved)....Avellone wrote Old World Blues (which I hated)...

Who wrote Lonesome Road? I figure it be Sawyer cause maybe they gave 2 dlc to each writer....

If Lonesome Road was written by Chris Avellone it's going to [censored] svck.

I knew it, http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Whitely from Lonesome Road must be the same as that from ED-E's logs!

Wow, good ear.

But are you sure? Listen to the quest:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR9wKC3HDIE

That would mean he got to the Mojave from D.C.. Not impossible, but seems unlikely.

I have memorised every single line involving Enclave, I am the Enclave. But yeah I noticed it a while back and asked people on NMA with a GECK if they have the same voice actor (they do not) and a guy on Whitley's talk page however on the Vault pointed out that they are spelled differently, Whitley and Whitely; but surely that has to be a spelling mistake and they couldn't get the other guy back, now we know of definate ED-E involvment. It simply means he must have travelled across - provided that the hypothesis holds true.

If it is the same guy, then knowing that he sent ED-E to Narravo in hopes of transferring the data, it'd only be safe to assume that there's an Enclave base in the Divide as well. There's no other reason for him to be there.

I always chalked up him sending ED-E to Navarro as Eden classified it's capture by the NCR for the sake of moral - like what happened with APA. I think that he may have just gone looking for it, but then again both could equally be correct. We don't know as he was that devoted to his job.

I just know that you are going to be right, there will be Enclave in the Divide and all will seem great for me, everything that I have wanted in a base finally; and then after the quet they will vanish, I know it's coming. I never get what I want from these DLCs.

part man, part machine he is...
