anyone knows which is the best energy weapon and were i can find it?

I believe it's called Vengeance (Gatling Laser Gun) found in Deathclaw Sanc. hehe

Is there anyway to get to the whitehouse?

SPOILER
What's left of it. When you get to the long fence and it looks like you can't go any farther, turn to the right and behind you, there is a sewer cover. Go in to the sewer cover to enter the sewers and follow it until you come out in the ruins of the White House. Beware, there is still a lot of radioactivity there.

A pistol that shoots fireballs? I must know where to find it!

Here ya go! You find it in "LOB Enterprises".

I just can't believe the bloody mess perk...almost every shot I take (even with the lousy hunting rifle) obliterates enemies into a billion little pieces

 

[das müffin mann]

it's great, easily one of my favorite perks

DEATHCLAW... oh, thats bad

I know. It gets old pretty quick. I get annoyed when I snipe something from a long distance in the head, and the whole body comes apart. It just doesn't make sense except maybe at close range with the shotgun, assault rifle or an explosive of some sorts.

Though you can remove it from opening the console and typing :

Player.removeperk 00094EBA

You know it works, because it returns no information or error codes.
Check your Stats>Perk listing and it will be gone.


It shouldn't cause any issues with save/loading etc.

Just reading some of this thread means it's gotta be on my Christmas list......ohhh dear where will I find the time to play all these games, Just got COD world at war and am getting into the multiplayer, still playing COD4 multiplayer

How is it graphically? is it very demanding?

Pretty nice graphics, not too demanding. Barren wasteland so not many colors, but the art design is pretty damn good and it's a more optimized version of the Oblivion engine so it's smooth and pretty. Only real drawback would be the occasional glitches that seem to plague it sometimes, some systems more than others. Annoying, but not experience killing by any means for me.

Dude its a must buy. I haven't been this addicted to a game in a LONG time. I run the game maxed out and my specs cant touch yours.
Anyway whats up with the cat in your sig? Does it have a story?

My single 4850 destroys this game with 8x AA 16x ASF solid 60fps at all times. Trust me you wont want to touch cod after a good 5 hour session in this game.

True it's well optimized, even me on an older machine can run at medium to high with some tweaking.. XD and no slowdowns very addictive!

i agree with that is very well optimized. i play it on high at 1024*768 (best resolution evar ) and also that is very addictive. i have finished it 20 minutes ago and if i not have a test tomorrow i will start another character right know

also sorry for the bad english

You clearly have not expereinced gaming at 19xx on a 28 inch screen

Thanks all......it's a buy! As for dragging me away from COD World at War.....hmmmmm we will see.

i've tried gaming at 1360x768 on a 40", does that count?

(my screen actually can do 1080i, i dont see much difference)

And my 3870 tore it a new one at 1680x1050.

(my screen actually can do 1080i, i dont see much difference)

really? i thought it would look better when 1080i is on?

 

[Mussels]

really? i thought it would look better when 1080i is on?

nope. looks a little blurrier due to not being native res, but even ignoring that (as its only text thats messed up) i see no difference to my native res. lower res = higher FPS, so i really see no gains to it. games scale the HUD depending on the res these days, so i think i win

Hi i am playing this game and having too much crashes, or automatically reboots. Heard that this game has genuine problem of crashing. Is it true guys.

nope. i've had 2-3 crashes caused by a driver conflict with my sound card, but disabling an option fixed that. (its got an EAX emulator thing in the latest drivers)

If you're experiencing reboots, i'd be suspecting something wrong with your hardware like a failing OC.

 

[inf3rno]

system running on stock speed. Other games are working fine like BIA HH and COD WAW.

Ahhhh but thats on a BIG TV, slightly different....13xx on a 40 inch IMO is vastly inferior to 19xx on a monitor although I cant speak from experience except I have played at 13xx on a 32 inch TV and that was aweful (visible pixelation) in comparison to a 28inch monitor at 19xx.

 

[Tatty_Two]

Any patches out for the game yet?

cant see no pixelation on mine at all, unless i'm <1 foot away. its not a TN, which may be part of it.

there is a patch, 1.0.1.15 i think... it fixes a few crash bugs.

Interlaced rarely looks superior to progressive when lots of movement is on the screen, even if the res is higher imo, especially on a flat screen. I take 720p over 1080i most of the time. I can't wait until they figure out better technology for the flat screens, I hate pixel composition.
