I'm sorry, then, but I don't remember anyone telling me it was possible, much less how, exactly, to do it!

NEWBIE WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS Hey, just wanted to let y'all know, a propos of my question in another thread a month or two ago: you can hack into the Shi computer ("the Emperor") with impunity, after all! No, I don't mean get Badger or Dave Handee to do it *for* you; I mean you can do...

Thanks for the ideas, folks. Yeah, that .233 handgun should do it...lotsa that ammo around for some reason; everyone stocks like x400 rounds at a time!! But under no circumstances does my Brain Bot use the sniper rifle, though...but I noticed this weird thing: I ordered Marcus to use the...

Um, no...why reinstall?? I guess I'll have to -- if it doesn't do away with my game-save files, right? Rrrrr...! Oh well, I suppose I could just go back to an earlier game-save -- like 80K XP pts. earlier!!!

Hey, it's driving me nuts! My latest game-save is at a point in combat where Cassidy fires, and everytime he fires everything freezes!! I've waited up to seven minutes and nothing else happens, the game just locks, it takes like another four or five minutes of ALT+CTRL+DEL to bring up Task...

Hmm, interesting thoughts, everyone. I had my NPCs using Pancors and so forth, but the morons insist on wasting ammo by bursting on everything, and I hate to do shopping, going from here to there just to get even 200 rounds of 12-gauge, etc., which the cretins will waste in about ten...

Hey, my Brain Bot (with the Cybernetic Brain, of course!) doesn't want to use most weapons I give it, even though its Skill or Specialty is Small Guns. So far, it will only take the Gauss Rifle and that H&K 11 thing (or whatever it's called, exactly), and maybe the shotguns, too, I dunno, but...

I have my NPCs using Gaus Rifles, and I guess they're not as proficient as me since I'm Level 61 now...the reason I need so many 2mm EC is 'cause I'm leveling up (all the way to 99! Hehehe) and I want to see how "tricked-out" my character can get.... Yeah, I do the SF-NCR gun-run, but...I...

Searching through the NMA Vault Computer Archives, I see snatches of info relating how relatively rare the 2mm EC ammo is, due to its fairly regular availability in NCR and New SF only, but on the rare occasions when New SF does stock it (NCR dwarves seems to have stopped, on the last few...

Interesting...Outdoorsmanship only leads to the *option* of avoiding encounters...but how come when I travel about the World Map, I often see that icon representing me "flickering" as if an encounter's about to take place, but nothing happens, as if the computer decided I didn't "qualify"...

Hey, it's me, the guy search engines boycott...I can't find a thread dealing with this, so my apologies again for what may be an old question: Any particular tips for levelling up? I mean, outside of particular quests. Like, it seems that the area between New SF and New Reno is best for...

This is why I hate being a fan. I'd seen this all before, with the great computer fantasy RPG series "Ultima"...and its creator was at the helm of every one, including the abysmal unplayable-even-with-latest-official-patches last installment! So no big surprise...all things must...

"Wall locker!" Looks more like a "wall safe" to me! Thanks for the tips...sigh! Not sure what the difference between "all terms" and "any terms" is...I thought search engines simply looked for matching text strings?? Ah, time to read another Big Book of Science...!

Where's Clifton's Eye, please? I see Per Jorner's Walkthrough says "wall locker in the far northeast room" (of Level 3 of SAD) but there's no locker there! I've only gotten Dixon's Eye, and I've searched all over the three levels of SAD...gamebanshee.com lists Clifton's Eye as being in some...

Thanks again, fellas! So the Shi have an uncompromising policy against hacking, huh? Damn, so there's no way for me to hack into the Emperor mainframe in order to get that 3K XP for doing so (without everyone trying to kill me)?? BTW, I didn't have Badger hack for me; I had "Dave Handee"...
