I am at an awkward position in the game. I made a melee character and have been going pretty good up until this point. Currently lvl 8 and undefinedI have recovered the water chip, several quests for random towns til to my level.

now i haven't been going at a slow pace either. by the time i recovered the chip, done quests, explored it was still in the middle of the year. the overseer warned me about a mutant invasion and by the time i knew it they had invaded everywhere, including the BoS base so i couldn't even join them after i went through the effort of exploring the glow

so i went back to vault 13, talked to the overseer (no help) and yeah, basically nothing. only lvl 8, only got metal armor and mutant turning up in heaps of random encounters so can't even play normally.

now this is where i am really stuck. i purposely get myself caught at the hub and get arrested, resist telling the whereabouts of vault 13 and get stuck in the cell. my sneak is poor and so is lockpick, but by some miracle i still got out. even then i can't get past the guard outside my door who either takes me his the leader where i am killed, or be killed resisting.

but out of all that, i am only level 8 and i can't even continue? everyone in every town is dead!? wtf is with that? even if i somehow manage to destroy the base wtf do i do with all this loot and at only level 8, possibly 9 after it? did i play this wrong???

so confused

tl;dr - level 8, found chipped, everywhere invaded by mutants (including BoS no no power armour), everyone in every town dead. wtf

Weird, what is the date?
and did you have the HUB send water to the vault?

up your speech (in random encounter, or first aid hehe.). go to mariposa and talk...

or make another char
you now know what you have to do, if you make another character make the same quests + fast =D

it's around july man, same year u start and no i avoided sending water. spoke to the people at the water yard but




yeahhh that is besides the whole point of what my character is about. i made him smart enough for a convo but he was all about speaking with his fists. honestly does this happened a lot? the mutants completely taking over and killing every single person? and honestly, in this short period of time? i am only level 8!

Thats actually really weird. Wasn't there a patch that removed the Mutant Invasion time limit? I downloaded my Fallout 1 from GOG and I never saw mutants invading towns or anything, even after exploring every game square.

And they invaded before he even told you? or right after?

weird.

thats like 6 months from where you start (in december) the mutant army starts its march (at the Followers base) around 90 days in to the game if i remember correctly but wont find the vault for 400 days. this is one of the things a lot of people complained about back in the day about fallout 1.

Getting captured and taken to the Military base at that level is going to make things difficult.

If not seconds if he pic the wrong option
