When you ask the question "Did patch 1.2 satisfy you?" I have to answer yes because my expectations were that only a few things would get fixed and they did fix a bunch of stuff. I just hope this isn't the end of patches while all the computer jocks at Obsidian move on to making the DLC of the week. Afterall, the ZeniGreed CEO certainly doesn't want to be paying people to produce quality when they can be generating bugfests for the market.

Remember, there are still lots of bugs in FO3 that they never fixed so don't get your hopes up that FNV will be any better. If the game is too frustrating, my advice is to do something else and don't buy a ZeniMax adventure ever again.

Obsidian is not owned by Zenimax. Only Bethesda, and Zenimax has nothing to do with the patch, do not blame them

why not? they're the ones who made the engine :wink_smile:

Maybe they're delaying the 360 patch to add the DLC stuff to it... you know, the DLC that you guys are getting on the 360 while the rest of us are left out in the cold? :sadvaultboy:

(Sorry, not a lot of sympathy here for 360 users complaining of feeling left out, when you guys have an exclusive DLC coming to you next week.)

Actually, the 360 patch is already in certification with Microsoft, and should be out by tomorrow or Thursday.

Remind me why this is a problem?

Bodies naturally rot away but ash piles could cool and solidify, the same with goo piles. They might last thousands of years.

Finally!

Reloaded an EW save with 100 EW skill to check some figures from the Pipboy

Laser Rifle: ~23 DAM / 1 MFC (estimated due to Laser Commander perk affecting DAM)
Tri-Beam: ~23 x 3 DAM / 3 MFC
Plasma Pistol: 35 DAM / 2 SEC
Plasma Rifle: 50 DAM / 2 MFC
Q-35: 42 DAM / 1 MFC (probably appeal to ammo-conscious/hardcoe players)

However, suspect they overlooked the Laser Pistol: no damage increase!

Laser RCW seems unaltered, but I'm fine with that since IMO it was just a shade on the low-powered side in vanilla FNV; with the -DT from ammo it will do just fine.

Only bad thing about the EW boost:
1) EW Fiends will pose a much greater threat
2) Starting a brawl in the Silver Rush is obviously highly dangerous (in vanilla was merely dicey).

Because permanently ash-afied enemies do not respawn, and the ash is a eyesore

aside steam is there a download site for the fo nv patch like here in beth main site?

The Plasma Rifle needs to not be made crap, but it's a step in the right direction. Very good work with the patch overall. I'd still like to see the Telsa Cannon and Plasma Rifle ammo requirements be addressed, though; 45 ECP is ludicrous, and any plasma rifle but the Q-35 Matter Modulator eats up far too many MFCs while doing far too little damage.

There are still a bunch of bugs not fixed. I am quite disappointed actually.

Freeside thug bodies still don't disappear after a few days like they should.
The game still reverts back to Sunday upon restarting the game.
Blake still doesn't respawn his inventory unless I am in the same cell as him.
They nerfed the Sniper rifles to a point of uselessness. 30Dam 1x crit chance lolwut?
Explosives still svck

I have been a cheer leader for this game, but I expected this patch to get the job done, and so far it hasn't.

Playing an EW character in HC mode is extra tough because the ammo weighs too much and lots of weapons require multiple charges per shot. Pew-Pew-Pew takes about a pound of ammo per shot.

Has anyone else been getting a strange strobe effect in Hidden Valley bunker? I went on a shooting spree and now there's a very distracting strobe lighting my whole screen. It's not from Zap Gloves or Gauss shots, as it happens when I'm alone. Definitely only a post patch thing, wiped out the bunker twice and never had anything like it.

Sorry it took so long.

Cliff Briscoe has had a script placed on him that limits him to five games of Caravan. That never resets, so it is five games period.

Same for Carl Mayes (in Forlorn Hope?) & Johnson Nash
