Forum:OutcastBOS has some questions that need answering!

Howdy 'yall! I'm OutcastBOS and I have some questions! 1. Is there a way to get more than Dogmeat+1 follower in the 360 version? 2. are the Ranger battle helmet and Talon combat helmet unique items? 3. Does anyone else have Jericho as a follower and gave him Lincoln's Repeater? 4. Did anyone else fight a hostile Ghoul named Romero? 5. Are you sure that there is no way to get an eyepatch in the 360 version? 6. Does anyone else think that Vegas or New York would be the perfect setting of a Fallout? I'll keep updating as I get new questions and I really appreciate your help!OutcastBOS 21:28, 7 March 2009 (UTC)OutcastBOS 7. Why can Shrapnel only be knocked unconsious, is he part of the main quest?OutcastBOS 21:39, 7 March 2009 (UTC)OutcastBOS

Okay, I'll take them one at a time:

1. Yup, but then you have to use a glitch. Not too complicated, and there is and article about it. Look at Fallout 3 companions

2. Indeed. The Ranger Battle Helmet is one DR better than the original combat helmet, and the Talon Combat Helmet is one DR less. Both are unique.

3. Nope. Jericho has Big Guns as a tag skill, and is not the most durable follower in the game, so you should give him Eugene, sufficient ammo and a good armor (preferably all Power Armor variants).This will keep him healthy, keep you rich and give all your enemies massive gunshot trauma. Considering that Lincoln's Repeater need to be cocked for every shot, it gives him a disadvantage, since all the time Jericho uses reloading the damn thing gives the enemies as fair chance to gore him. You should consider giving it to Charon instead, as he makes better use of it.

4. No, never a Romero, where did you meet him? I have fought a Glowing One named Samuel near Isabella Proud's Camp, and I actually met a FRIENDLY one named Meat.

5.Yup, pretty sure. The eyepatch is part of a character model which only applies to certain NPC's, like Junder Plunckett and Billy Creel. I think it can be modded on to your character at the PC version, but us honest console players are just going to have to make it with, you know, precise game mechanics, more controlled graphic and lesser bugs.

6. Dunno, haven't actually thought about that one. In one of the earlier Fallout games there was a town called New Reno, which was based off Las Vegas. About New York... Well, maybe Fallout 4?

7. You have just discovered what is commonly known as "an honest screw-up". The common theory at the wiki is that Shrapnel is an Essential Character (that is to say, he can't be killed, just knocked unconscious). The reason he is rendered essential is that there is supposed to be someone manning "Flak and Shrapnel's" (the gun store in Rivet City Marketplace)even if you enslave Flak for the purpose of the Strictly Business quest. However, this action is severely bugged. You see, Flak and Shrapnel are also scripted to stay together (that is to say, in each others vicinity) because they share the same stock. However, when Flak is enslaved, Shrapnel will start traveling back and forth from Paradise Falls, because the script tells him so, leaving the store unmanned. This is sad, because Flak and Shrapnel's in one of the best gun shops in the entire Capital Wasteland. Let's hope the developers fix it soon, shall we?

Thanks! and I found Romero in the basement of Tenpenny tower. and I wanted to kill Shrapnel because he prhas the key to the shops stock, because Flak does not have it. it blows that you can't get an eyepatch. I even found one on the Oasis drifter and on a female scavenger in one of the subway tunnels.205.213.113.52 22:44, 7 March 2009 (UTC)OutcastBOS

As i've said several times on this wiki, I would LOVE an NYC Fallout. Maybe FDR's secret subway tunnel under the Waldorf [I'm not making this up] could be used as an entrance to the subway [which NYC has over 100 miles of]. I'd also love to see more factions and new enemies. Broeman 00:51, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
