a hardcoe Help!, im dying.

Post » Sat Feb 13, 2010 1:03 am

So I'm playing Fallout NV on the hardcoe mode. I am eating and drinking just perfectly. but when it comes to waiting or resting for even 4 hours, when the resting box closes im lying dead on the ground from sleep deprivation, starvation, or something else. What is going on here? I thought I was supposed to sleep, lol, my character O'l Chateup Is gonna go crazy and start seeing gnomes. Which sounds fun, but what if one of the gnomes is actually a baddie.

Now when you say you are eating and drinking "perfectly", does that mean that the "H2O" and "FOD" indicators disappear from above your health bar on the HUD? Also, if you go to your pipboy's Status tab, there's pages for H20 and FOD status: Are those in agreement with what the HUD says? If you are on the PC, have you installed any mods, especially ones that change the game's timescale?

Aha, yes. i to everything you said in some fashion. Thanks for the help by the way. My h20 and food indicators are always below 200. I've set my timescale to 1. That sounds like, if anything, it's the issue. . I'm going to go test it now.
EDIT

Seems setting the timescale back to 30 was my one way ticket to the pearly gates once again. I'll try some other values so far no luck. and I can't seem to think of anything else it would be. Theres nothing else i've changed, I have no mods.

Well changing the timescale is the only thing I can think of that would cause you to spontaneously die of dehydration after sleeping, so... Set it to 30 ("set timescale to 30"), zero out your bars by guzzling food and drink, save your game in a new slot, reload the save and see if that helps. It fixed the problem in my testing. If it doesn't.... you got me stumped. :)

You could also try using http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34718 which apparently manages your primary need stats through scripts rather than relying on the game's (confused) hardcoded stuff. I do not use this mod personally but it might help you if the set-save-reload procedure doesn't work.
