Time Travel?????

Post by Soldier87 »

Whenever I play fallout and travel on the map, the date and time spins backwards. ??????? Is there a bug or sumtin doin this, i got the newest version of fallout. The cool thing is that i dont have to worry about the time limit on getting my chip back to the vault. Although my character will get younger if i let this continue. This isnt my first time playing through the game, so i used an editor. Could that be the problem?

Does the "remind boy" message go up?
If it doesn't then the time thing isn't really true.

If it does, have fun!

well everytime i log my pip boy there is that note there that says how many days i have left berore the vault runs out of water. the thing is the number of days stays the same it doesnt get lower. The only way i can make time go forward is by resting. this time thing is cool but at the same time gets on my nerves cuz my character is gettin younger.

in years? (on the char screen?)

I bet the game will crash when you hit 0 or -1 years old. Just because it was definately not meant to be able to show that age.

Maybe you'll have a random encounter with Marty Mcfly and the Doc. Then you can steal the Delorean and start cruisin in 80s era style!

Lol yeah the wierd thing is i dont know what triggers it, it happens on and off. However it is pretty cool. But everyonce in a while it does come back on again and i travel back in time, the story doesnt just the time. but i finished the game again today so it dont really affect it. (i think the game would crash at 15 cuz u can only start when ur 16 if u play that long i would rather play fallout 2 forever than fallout 1)

PS wat are the little subtitile names and those fallout stars under our name supposed to mean and represent?

Shame on you.

Hmm... It'd be great to be cruisin' '80s style... in the '80s! Assuming that you have the patience to go all the way back to the '80s.

Um...I'm assuming you're talking about the 1980s. If that's the case: don't waste your time. I was there, and old enough to remember them, it was a highly over-rated decade, full of awful fashion and bad hair...

I'm getting queasy just thinkin' about it...

Sorry guys, I can't resist a little grammar correction. Of course, I really should try doing this on my posts

Anybody want to take a crack at that one? Feel free too, My edit of Soldier's post asks for it.

No. 1 problem I see with bad grammer is that people who don't speak english as a first language have a hell of a time following it.

like i said before, i aint here to type well. i have absolutly nuttin to gain by typin well in here. and i seriously doubt that any five yr old can type better than i. ive taken computor classes since my 5th grade year and im now a junior. this isnt a formal typing contest forum site. so shut the hell up. and lets get back to the topic. if not then dont come here tryin to say crap. nun of this wouldnt have happened if sum ignorant ppl hadnt come here thinkin (oh "gosh" this person messed up. lets be better then him like the ignorant pathetic ppl we are, and correct him shall we?) worry bout ur own typin. i wont worry bout ur typin if thats how u wanna type. i wont be a pest about it like some fools. ill ask wat u were sayin if i couldnt understand but other than that i aint gonna be a pest bout it.

O and by the way queball, u should shut up, i saw how u typed in "will fallout work on xp", frikin hypocrite.

You know it takes no more effort to type well than to type badly, if you've taken the time to learn. And it will do wonders for whether others regard you as an idiot or not. Typing poorly is the equivalent of talking like a retard or mumbling in real life. The moral is U SUK
suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. suddenly somebody will say like 'plate' or 'shrimp' or 'plate of shrimp', out of the blue, no explanation.

If soldier87 had a nickel for every time he typed something poorly with incorrect spelling and such, he would be able to hire someone to type for him
