How do i get the door the the Mechanizer in Canterbury Commons open?

SPOILER BELOW

I'm fairly certain you can open it via one of the computers in the ajoining room; however, don't go the obvious route or else you'll have to deal with a crapload of robots. Go through the offices, take care of the Mr. Gutsy, then move quickly and quietly underneath the structure with the turrets on it. Be mindful of the Sentry Robot across the room from where you enter. I always caught it when it was moving away from that little room though so it never saw me. In the little room, you can hack into the terminal and disable the turrets+robot. There's a lot of good scavange in that room if you want it. Into the next room, you'll find another terminal to make all the robots friendly towards you. I think that same terminal can unlook the doors but it was a while ago since I did it so I'm not 100% certain.

We really need spoiler tags. *sigh*

Found a pic of the glitch where the insects get half stuck in the ground.
Here's a screenshot of the glitch Although I was talking about a rad scorpion in a previous post.
They eventually get themselves unstuck and start attacking though.

So it appears to be a glitch with the insects or crawling creatures in the game.

If i dont use the targeting system if my shooting accuracy determined by my skill in example small guns?

it affects it outside of VATS.

I've noticed my shots curve in to hit the enemy when my aim was slightly off, for example.
The main thing outside of VATS isnt the accuracy, higher weapons skills increases the damage you do.

I don't think it's just the weapons skills but also the condition of the weapon.

condition of the weapon is a negative. Your aim is the basic aim, skill assists with auto aim + damage and then condition of the weapon reduces accuracy + damage.

Yeah I meant the condition of the weapon affects the accuarcy and damage of what you could get if the weapon is 100%.
It can also reduce the relaod time.
As I noticed while reloading a very worn out weapon the character will start to smack the weapon after reloading as well.

i liked that, nice touch. its kinda like a weapon jam, only 300% less irritating.

Ah, I only saw one Radroach stuck in the ground (Arlington Library). It never got unstuck and I couldn't kill it. I would have tried a grenade or some explosives but I didn't have any on me at the time. I even changed areas, came back, and it was still stuck. I played it before and it wasn't stuck so I don't know what caused it to get stuck in the ground.

@mussels im on a 32 bit system and I was exp random crashes a lot but they seemed to have stopped after I updated from 8.10 hotfix to 8.11 and I also upped the oc on my 4870 on both the core and memory

still getting a few glitches though which Im guessing everyone will do sometimes until a patch comes out

was like I sinking into the ground at one area and couldnt hit any of the enemies luckily id saved recently :S

I dont believe that is a glitch, you can shoot off one of their legs, giving them the look of falling through the ground because they fall down on their head if you shoot out a front leg. After a minute they finally recuperate and limp after you w/ 1 less leg.

 

[Widjaja]

I foubd the ant in this state.

 

[3870x2]

the ant has a loss of health by the ss you took.

Running across the bridge away from Rivet City, go down all the steps to the ground. Straight ahead of you is the Washington Memorial and to the right, there is a lot of rubble. Follow the rubble around towards the metro station and you'll find CJ Young + James Hargrave back there.

I have the same issues, the ending was crap. I even talk about it in my Fallout 3 review at GPU.

 

[das müffin mann]

anyone know if anyone has been able to figure out a way to keep playing after you finish the main quest

turn around, leave, and do the side quests. Kinda impossible to continue on, considering the consequences.

You can't kill characters that are integral to some quests. They will simply be rendered unconscious temporarily when their health runs out.

Reverted back to 174 drivers and still am experiencing the artifacts, although seemingly less frequently.

 

[Skywalker12345]

oo thats weird. it kinda fun to just continuously blow him up lol

Ineteresting.
I think I'll go back to Rivet city and punch him in the face for making it so difficult to get to him.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

You can do that to Sentinel Lyons, Elder Lyons, your dad, etc. Kind of ackward that they made him unkillable. You don't even have to talk to him. He's always extra credit. XD
