im doing hardcore mode from the start and the only difference really is that you have to make sure you eat, drink water, etc. the worst part is that if you get your limbs injured you cant just heal that shit with a stimpack you have to use a doctors bag to heal them, its sort of a pain in the ass i guess but im not having too hard a time yet. also you cant fast travel if you will get dehydration or food sickness from traveling that long. theres alot of food that doesnt up your radiation so ive just been keeping lots of that shit on me. also purified water too

Have you done that quest for the doctor at the Mormon Fort where you have to talk to her friend in the NCR who's giving out food to the locals? If you keep going past that NCR building and then turn to the left you'll find the building with the sexbot. But you gotta get a holotape from the guy at Mick & Ralph's and upload it before you can recruit it.
yeah ive done that mission about halfway, i asked around the squatter camps to find a lead as to why NCR soldiers are in Freeside, but i dont think i could find the mark on my map to find out where i could investigate the rumors of free food and water being handed out. i think i just skipped to some other side mission, ill have to go back and check it out. the maps are so fucked off you cant really tell exactly where theres a spot to check out or not. i just finished the vault 22 mission and i had a hell of a time finding my way out of the vault. im thinkin "i came in somehow, why cant i get the fuck out?" lol

i forgot, i havent had one single problem with glitches yet, except for the same shit that pbarb666 was refering to like framefrate fuckups, and the game did freeze once, but it saves everytime you fast travel and enter or leave a building plus i save quite often too so it hasnt been a problem. trying to bang out as much of this game as i can before fable 3 drops

Yeah the local maps only show a small portion of your area and if the objective is too far out of your portion, the arrow sometimes won't show up. But if you try it again, go to the street with the Atomic Wrangler and Silver Rush and you should find a door that takes you to the north part of Freeside. Take that door and go around the rubble and to your left. That's where the water is being handed out. Farther than that is the warehouse with the sexbot.


Im was going to do hardcore but pussud out, hard ya but just follo2w the main quest ya? shouldnt be that long.

so whats wild west do?
I didn't wanna do harcore mode either haha. I always have a lot of weapons on me and didn't wanna make it worse since their ammo has weight too. Wild Wasteland makes you have weird random encounters. I didn't try it but from what I read it it was added as a compromise because different members of the team often suggested "wacky" content that others thought would be out of place. Here's a link with some videos: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Wild_Wasteland_videos

I read that if u choose the wild west trait, you can obtain the alien blaster. If u don't choose it, you can obtain the gauss rifle. So Im guessing u can't get both...

Gambling? anyone play caravan?
Yeah it took me a few games to figure out what the hell I was doing but I got the hang of it. Depending on who you play with you can get a ton of caps.

I got like 28000 caps...I don't even know how I got that much but I have pretty high speech and barter skills so that helps. And I sell a most of the equipment/weapons that I find on people I kill.
