posiedonet, uplink to central computer?

Post by Cigol »

big fan of fallout who recently got bored & decided to give the sequel a chance. Anyway I'm currently in the Gecko reactor and I'm supposed to do something with this new optimised disk, use it on the robot computer I guess.
So I screw up and this transmission appears of an enclave soldier asking who I am! It's an amusing little conversation but was I supposed to see it (yet?) as I dont understand what it's all about, nor do i find it mentioned in the walkthroughs etc.

I'm a little worried I might have triggered some script as he's allegedly traced my location (actually I told him) I've just had to redo a whole lot of wandering crap because of that stupi******* in Vault City so I don't want any more hassles.

try to be as spoiler free as you can thanks.

no you didn't do anything wrong, your fine. It's just part of the "amazing" build up plot to THE FINAL COMFRONTATION.

Don't worry about it and just keep playing.

even if he says something about an assault team heading your way, they never come so dont fret.

i think that you are supposed to "use" (inventory icon) the optimized disk on the reactor terminal, not actually turning it on, or whatnot. or i think you can give it to that one ghoul that "runs" the plant, but im not sure about that.

That is one of my favorite dialogues in the whole game. Don't worry, nothing will happen when you talk to the Enclave trooper, except he might get upset and not talk to you again.

Yah, he is so mean. Wearing APA and prolly has a big gun and the worst thing he can do is to not speak to you. I was so damn disappointed when I didn't get an assault team rushing to Gecko..

I was thinking I'd greet them with a couple of plasma grenades and Bozar, but none came. You can't even trust the military in this game!

Agreed. The enclave should attack gecko. Did they have any intel on VC, NR and NCR? did they explore the wastes (as implied by frank harrigan)? if so, then there should be a trigger, say, player level>15 for them to send an assault squad to Gecko. Just have them use vertibirds, not walk all the way there. also have the people in VC be like "Holy $h!t did you see those crazy @$$ flying machines?!" I'd assume they'd know about VC 'cause of the Vault, but NCR and NR?

DOGMEAT is God. Never dispute this!........ 2. Nobody is perfect
Up and coming hardware nerd.................. 3. Hence I am perfect
