Yeah, there're random events like that. I had the 4th one come up before.

I think on the PC version, you might be able to use codes to raise your level to whatever you want to (i've seen the hax for it). And those Talon guys always seem to pop up whenever I fast travel to some metro...they're like just there waiting and shit. Luckily my follower is quick on the trigger finger (although he killed like a bunch of the outcasts :S)Originally Posted by Buffalobiian
I went there, talked to the Vance and stuff, and he told me to go read the rules. I read them and told him I understood a little more about then, then told the kid to go home. Afterwards, I struck a deal with Vance that if Arefu provides them with blood packs, they protect Arefu. They seemed happy, and so did the folks at Arefu. I didn't tell them about the blood packs though
I thought that's how everybody's story went. Interesting how it all turns out differently. I'm currently getting slaughtered by this group of Talon Mercs. It took me 3 tries to find out where the rocket launcher guy was camping. He kept setting off chain reactions with a line of vehicles.
I'm sort of a Mr. Nice guy, but more of a Mr. Nice-If-You-Pay-Me-Guy
Edit: I just round this out today. Your character has a level cap of 20. I thought it was infinite, or at least something high like 100 so you can own at everything. Guess not. I guess I'll have to actually think about how I go up now.
I picked up the droid Sergeant RL-3 as my first follower. He can carry a decent amount of cargo and is aggressive about attacking. He's also a military coot who spouts marine battle cries when he attacks.
edit: I reloaded a previous save and went back to the Family area right after I killed everyone. This time, I snuck out past the gate guard Patrick and was able to complete the mission. I didn't bother reloading again and killing the guard to see if that triggers the fail.

Shit...I accidentally started some shit with the Outcasts, and now those bastards are hunting me down too! Anyone know a good place to get .308 ammo? Like besides random enemies?
.308? Is that the Sniper Rifle ammo? If so, pray you get lucky off traders, because those're rare.
Rivet city has a nice chunk of ammo for sale, but if you're still having trouble with ammo try progressing further into the main storyline and unlock more cities. If you haven't gone to underworld yet, it's in the museum of history next to the washing monument.
Yea, i have Charon as my follower, and I'm pretty far in the game. I have loads of everything else. Oh, and a place that is a fun kill fest: Paradise Falls (if you're good or bad!) Too bad that there were only 8 of them or so.
With my main, a sneaker/sniper, .308 ammo is the only kind of ammo I will ever buy (I scavenge the rest), and I buy it every time I pass by a shop, whether I need it then or not.
I also worked out a new character for more fun and using heavy weapons. Seeing a supermutant get a face full of minigun rounds at 5 feet away and watching his face turn into a crater (but still not die) is a true pleasure. Still couldn't bring myself to blowing up Megaton. I got the cell, but couldn't build up the nerve to do it, disarming the bomb in the end.
On a lighter note, anyone else meet the friendly, dumb yet philosophical Super Mutant, "Uncle Joe" or something like that?
Yeah, I saw hims as I wondered around. I didn't talk to him much though. Just learnt enough that his brothers are transforming people.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Same here, I had planned for the past 5 days to blow up Megaton, but once I met the residents of Tenpenny Suites and talked to Tenpenny about why Megaton should be nuked, I couldn't do it. I'm now a "good paladin."
Spoiler: Killing Tenpenny gives good karmaThe shack you get for saving Megaton is more homey than the hotel room suite you get at Tenpenny.

Where was he? Just some random place?
From memory, down south, but it was a long time ago. Somebody else who was paying attention may give you a better direction.

I'm sorely disappointed in the followers I've picked up so far. RL-3 was ok, but he got killed easily by a missile-launching mutant. Charon did even worse. I had him for all of 30 minutes of play time before he charged after a super mutant behemoth and got killed. Worst 1000 caps I've spent.

I haven't gotten any followers yet, mainly because I've been putting off finding Galaxy Radio. Any suggestions on who's the best bang for the buck? And are they all human? I wouldn't mind being the leader of a ghoul army or a supermutant mob.

The best follower in my opinion is Fawkes. I don't want to spoiled too much about the game but you can only recruit him near the end of the main storyline. He is easily the best because of the absurd amount of damages he can absorb on top of his awesome weapon (Laser Mini-Gun).
I've tried all of the other followers and my problem is they die too damn fast so it's pretty much impossible to bring them to any heavy fire fight. Fawkes is pretty much the only one who will be able to be useful in these kind of situation granted he will still die if you leave him alone vs 2-3 guys.
edit: I forgot to mention that you must have good Karma in order to recruit Fawkes, i was really disappointed that i couldn't get him during my evil play through.

RL-3 is a droid and Charon is a ghoul, but those are the only two I've encountered so far. I think they best serve as pack-mules because even if you tell them to stay back, the attackers will chase after them. If they get cornered, they're dead meat.
RL-3 floats so he keeps up with you better. I had problems with Charon's path-finding when he was supposed to follow me, so we'd get split up and he'd be fighting something while I'm somewhere nearby. Charon is very aggressive but he will equip the best armor and weapon (according to the role you define for him) that you put in his inventory.
edit: Plus there's Jericho in Megaton, and he's human, but you have to be on the bad side of karma to hire him.

I don't know what happned but now everytime i load my save game chrashes...
Number of works of fiction that made me shed at least one tear: 3Thou seeketh soul power, dost thou not?TOX: 33524385841A92B08787EEBEBA2DB51ED293C4F15A2E292F3F C92165E82388281433A77EA8FE
Did you try loading an older saved game? Maybe check video settings on the startup screen.

yea I did. I edited FALLOUT.ini to have better graphics long time ago, with ini edited game starts to load save and from time to time lets me play(regardless of save), and if i turn it back to normal it crashes instantly.

She can't be a permanent follower, but my best experience so far was with Sydney at the National Archives. She never seemed to ruin my stealth too much (started guns blazing just once or twice), and she came with a custom 10mm SMG that does a ton of damage. If you want to go that route, you can probably kill her for it. I had plenty of stimpacks to keep her healthy though.
The plus side is she gives you a pretty neat ammo dealer when you're done (won't tell you where, she tells you herself at the end of the quest).
