A Tale of Breaking The Game (veronica side quest spoilers)

Post » Thu Dec 15, 2011 12:39 pm

This is my amazing tale on how to effectively make the game [censored] itself.

[quite a few censor bypasses removed]

So the lesson to be learned here is this: whenever situations come up, just avoid it, unless you like this [censored]t happening, then the lesson here is [censored] with the game as much as possible. Cool [censored] happens.

There's enough spam in that post to make a meal out of.

I thought you could avoid that encounter (at least initially) without having to pass the speech check. I seem to remember telling them "Okay you're right, Veronica is leaving and not coming back" (something to that effect) and that appeased them at least until later on in the quest.

That's only if you convince Veronica to leave the Brotherhood.

That story cracked me up. I love that part with Veronica and the annoying paladins.

Pulse Gun + 2 doses of turbo always got me out of that situation.

Never thought of running back into the bunker, figured the rest of the BoS would turn on me in that situation.

Basically, he was complaining that he'd messed up big time. But even though he'd made the mistake, it was clearly the games fault for allowing him the freedom to do so. Or thats the gist I got.

However, he used asterixes to allow him to use curses and swears and thus bypass the autocensor. Which is a no-no, hence his post got edited big time since it was mostly swearing.

You can also fast-travel right as you step out of the bunker, and have them never become aggressive.

Really, yes, this game is buggy, but if you screwed the heck up, thats your problems, not the games. Even if the game caused you to screw up, you COULD reload, if your a carful person like me you should keep reguler backups, go to the wiki to find a workaround or just avoid the quest entirly.

I also think i know what he did if anyone didint know already. He chose for Veronica to stay with the brotherhood at a low level and is now trapped in the bunker beacause he cant pass the speech check or kill the paladins (even though, as I said, he backup regulairly so this wouldent happen -.-). Not to be mean or anything, but i know what two workarounds for this problem without even opening up the wiki, one is fast traveling as soon as you get out of the bunker. the other is to reload a save before you told Veronica to stay in the Brotherhood (if you have one).

Also, [censordy] [cencored] [censored] right back at you
