Further embarassment... I've lost the car

Post by Raksha »

After wandering around in the army depot and playing with computer terminals, haveing a conversation with Skynet, and lots of other things, I went back out to put all the things I'd found in the trunk of the car. WhileI did that, I found the Radiers map, which I'd forgotten all about. Aha! That sounds like a place where lots of xp, trinkets and toys can be found. So I get into the car, drive to the new location on the map, climb down into the lair, and promptly get shot at.

Their mistake. After getting rid of all raiders in the main hall (there's one left in the lower part of the screen, and four in the upper part) I notice I'm out of ammunition. No big problem, there's lots more in the car. So I climb back up the ladder to get more ammunition so I can shoot the remaining five raiders, only to discover a small glitch with my brilliant plan. The car isn't where I left it, right beside the ladder leading down to the raiders. It's gone.

I have the car patch installed, and it wasn't out of fuel anyway, so is this a bug I just happened to stumble across? I have an old save left, where I had the car, but it's days old, and the idea of playing through those seven housr again isn't an uplifting one. Any ideas on where the car might be?

Try the alternate raiders entrance.
Just a thaught.
Go through the locked gates at the left.

Radscorpion caves have now made it to the top of my list of Places You Really Don't Want To Go To Without Ammunition. Really. No matter how you look at it, a spear just isn't as effective as a sniper rifle.

On the plus side, I found the again, just outside the other entrance. So thanks, Killa-Killa. (Tickle-Tickle? Huh?)

Well, for some reason, you have to go out the other way, through the caves, you should find it parked there. After the first time (for me anyway), every time I return there, I'm always at the cliff side cave entrance.
I support everyones right to make a fool of themselves.:chainsaw:

I just wish I didn't do it so often.
:yikes:
