I just wanted to find out if/when the patch is released if it will fix the inability to pick up throwing weapons?

so you are saying you are able to pick up throwing daggers, throwing spears, and throwing hatchets after you throw them? because i cant.

I don't think it was a glitch in the first place. They're not meant to pick back up

I have never read anywhere that the throwing weapons were supposed to be reusable, I just checked the wiki to see if there was anything about it and couldn't find nothing there. Can you post a link to where you read the throwing weapons were supposed to be reusable.

i just figured it was common sense to pick up thrown weapons because its a reuseable item and they are hard to break. Add in the fact that they are also incredibly rare (i have yet to find a throwing hatchet in fallout new vegas). I guess its not fixed because it was never broken; i dont see the logic in it at all as too why i cant pick up an object i threw 14 feet in front of me. Tell me how it makes sense besides its what Obsidian wanted.

how does alot of things in fallout make sense. How does it make sense that there are big green and blue people running around the wastes and hangin out in the mountains, how does it make sense that the U.S never progressed past the 50's in most aspect but in other they are way more advanced than anything we have today? how are there giant scorpions and wasps roaming around the wastes? how come everyone can smoke cigarettes but me? etc etc, its a videogame it doesn't have to make sense.

if i drop something i can pick it up, throwing is alot like dropping just a little bit harder. The pc version has a mod dedicated to just this which means the ability to pick up thrown objects is there, and before you start saying that i should play it on pc let me tell you that thats not even a fair statement to say. I bought the game for the xbox so i could play it for the xbox. I just hope that if a third patch comes out that they let me pick up throwings weapons.

I think I read somewhere that thrown weapons are a one shot deal. They should pack more punch that 12 or so damage.

He means the mechanics of the game: you throw a somewhat large object and it disappears when you should be able to pick it back up. It has nothing to do with supermutants and other story elements.
