did you take the 'black widow' perk? i remember wasting a perk on 'lady killer' with one character and only ever found one npc that gave me new dialog options (the vampire whore - i forget her name).

i'm the same way with followers too, Dogmeat protects my house and that's about it. i keep the super mutant around because by the time i get him i'm normally well past the xp cap and he's badass as hell with his gattling laser minigun.

also - speaking of being an amazing ass hole, SEE Virtual Worlds announced plans today to release a free to play Michael Jackson themed MMO 'Planet Michael'. the trolling / griefing is already in full swing in just the comments, can you imagine what that final product is going to be like?

Haven't taken the black widow perk yet. Normally I max out small guns, science and lockpick-related perks, hit up a couple ranks of intense training, get strong back so I can carry more gear, then start spreading out. But I've recently downloaded a mod that removes the level cap from 20 to infinite (which remains balanced because it also raises enemy levels along with you) so I can get all the perks and max out my skills. There's also additional perk packs I could install, but I'm not to that point yet. I think I'm at level 22 right now in my current game, and I'm only on the beginning of Waters Of Life because I like to do side-quests more than main quests. And yea, never took ladykiller either... seemed like the only thing it could offer me would have been dialog choices and now that you say they're pretty limited anyway, I'll just pass until there's nothing left to take.

Ultimately, I just love that cha-ching money sound every time you kill someone or pick a lock or what have you. When I first capped out at 20 it was way ahead of me completing the game and it felt like half the fun was out of it because I no-longer heard the cha-ching/gained XP. An exploding head just isn't the same without a cha-ching after it. Or the thrill of the level-up music. Or picking a lock before hacking a terminal that unlocks it because you know you'll get more XP.
XP is like a drug to me. lol...
Plus modifications in general have allowed me to even play this game as long as I have. So glad I have it for PC.

lol.. Michael Jackson MMO?
That will be hilarious.

ehh, I can see myself getting into the graphic novel but I feel like I could do without the replica poker chips and cards.

I loved the plot-twist, though.

fair, but they have to give away the crap somewhere. the inclusion of a graphic novel is quite original though and should add a nice layer to the lore of the game.

@FD - i'm playing on pc as well but i never bothered with mods. this time around i maxed out repair first of all, having 100% quality gear at level 8 is pretty awesome.

i also agree about the satisfaction of that 'cha-ching' sound effect with every kill. just like you i'm all about picking a lock before hacking the terminal that controls it. double XP for the win hahaha

My boyfriend and my other 2 flatmates have just started playing again and I don't know if I should be ashamed to admit it looks like a really cool/ fun game... But I refuse to get an account. Partly because I have no money and partly because I wouldn't be able to mock them about it anymore.

I've been there. Honestly, though, I did do the free trial because my friend wouldn't get off my ass about it. I never got it...it isn't that fun. It's the same thing over and over. Make some money...go on a quest...make some money...go raid some dungeon...make more money...repeat hours on end. It's not for me. My RPG's need an awesome story and a really fast pace.

i play WoW. it's probably the best game i have played. the gameplay is what does it for me. i mostly just do arenas and battlegrounds. leveling sucks though.

Can. Not. Wait:

The reputation system is going to be awesome. Not to mention Hardcore mode. I was also watching some of the gameplay demos and interviews with Obsidian and I think this is going to be my new favorite game ever.
Oh, and we can GAMBLE IN THE CASINOS! Mini-games ftw. And we'll have faction-based currency instead of simply.. caps.

Hurry up, October!!!
