I did none of the above. I just got the ARCHIMEDES II and from there the thing just activated... Without her in the party then brought her back and the conversations started and went on from there.

Raul can be found through either 2 missions that focus on the same area, black mountain. I like the super mutants.

I tried going up there and I just got attacked instantly...I decided i'd try again later on.

Someone needs to rename Scorpion Gultch.

Scorpion Corpse Gulch?
Yeah, they didn't give me much trouble either. Mostly because of Veronica. The girl can one punch Giant Radscorpions. She's like a melee version of Boone.

Ooooh I liked that place. Like searchlight fire station too.

Is it just me or are ants un-belivable easier this time round than they were in 3?

I agree about the ants. I take the hunting rifle out over the ant pit and just pop heads from a distance. i like to take out the antennae when possible too and watch them just take one another out.

Yeah, I just walk backwards slowly and pop them with a pistol. Good use for extra ammo.

Glad its not just me then. Maybe it was my Mint condition Anti-Material Rifle with inciendary bullets from a sneak attack critical that killed that ant queen so easy.

I think that that'll kill ANYTHING easily.

hmmmm Deathclaw cave here I come!

Happy hunting.

Bloody will be happy hunting if its full of the baby ones.

"I'M IN YOUR BASE, KILLING YOUR BABYS!"
*Mother Deathclaw has gone Beserk*
"Wait... wha?" *DEAD*

Where is that Anti-material rifle, anyway? I haven't come across one yet, and I wants it.

Gun Runners carries it, depending on your level. I just hit 27 and it appeared the last time I went.

B-uying it? As in paying caps? That's crazy talk.
Why ask a vendor "How much do you want for it?" when you can ask, "So, how many HP did you say you have?" And as I recall, there's no door into that kiosk.

Nope, there's no breaking in to that place. Even with console commands turning off colision detection, you can't get the things.

Just like in Mick and Ralphs. You can't get behind that screen there either.

I haven't actually been inside Mick and Ralph's. Only been to quest related places. But considering that every single place I've come across is related to some quest eventually, I'm sure I'll get there.
Anyone tried the Grasp Exceeds Reach glitch on those? It worked on the Q-32.

I have, and i can't touch them. Unlike in the Silver Rush where all that was there became mine!

BETHESDA SOFTWORKS REVEALS DETAILS FOR FIRST FALLOUT®: NEW VEGAS™ DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT

'Dead Money' Available December 21st Exclusively on Xbox LIVE

November 17, 2010 (Rockville, MD) – Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax® Media company, today announced that Dead Money, the first downloadable content for Fallout®: New Vegas™, will be available exclusively on Xbox LIVE® for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft beginning December 21, 2010.

"We're pleased to give fans a chance to expand their experience in Fallout: New Vegas this December with Dead Money," said Pete Hines, VP of PR and Marketing for Bethesda Softworks. "The release of Dead Money illustrates our commitment to creating entertaining add-on content for players to enjoy in already massive games like Fallout: New Vegas."

As the victim of a raw deal you must work alongside three other captured wastelanders to recover the legendary treasure of the Sierra Madre Casino. In Dead Money, your life hangs in the balance as you face new terrain, foes, and choices. It is up to you how you play your cards in the quest to survive.

Fallout: New Vegas, the follow-up to Fallout 3 – the 2008 Game of the Year – brings this beloved franchise to a location only Fallout could do justice: Vegas. Fallout: New Vegas takes all the action, humor and post-apocalyptic grime and grit of this legendary series, and raises the stakes.

Reviews of Fallout: New Vegas have called the game as "an utterly essential purchase" (MSN UK) and as "addictively, rambunctiously fun" (Entertainment Weekly). The Associated Press awarded it a 4 out of 4 stars and said "Bottom Line: It's a Blast", while GameSpy gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars and called Fallout: New Vegas "one of the best games of the year."

Published by Bethesda Softworks and developed at Obsidian Entertainment, Dead Money,has not yet been rated by the ESRB. It will be available for 800 Microsoft points.

Fallout: New Vegas has been rated M for Mature by the ESRB.

Well that sucks. XLive exclusivity for DLC is crap. I wonder if that's consolation for the problems 360 owners are having with the game?

The whole exclusivity stuff has to stop on games that are multi-plat. Its silly and can cut down on the profits.

Agreed. It's just MS throwing it's money around again and making people wait.

And hell, with my track record, I might not even have FNV by that time anymore.

I'll still have it, however will I be bothered to play it by then?
