I figured out why Takayuki thinks that I killed all the miners. It's because he was hit by friendly fire at one point and that seems to have set off the flag.

So anyone who has him, don't hit him with friendly fire.

I'm curious how exactly you solved it. It has several solutions. Of course there's an alternative to text input which is clicking the word you have to input directly when it appears in the dialogue. It never appears as an option in your choices though.

This is what I did:

1. Upon entering Rail Nomad, save the drowning boy by using brute force on small pillar.
2. Follow the girl to the playground and defuse the bomb next to her.
3. Talk to chief whatshisname about all available options.
4. Kill all junkies, the drug dealer, and all the raiders.
5. Prevented Melissa in the other camp from killing anyone. (Basically said "I will negotiate a truce")
6. Talked to Carver (?). Click the Jessie option which tells him about the bomb you defused next to his daughter.
7. He'll get remorseful and ask you what to do. Say "end the war". Then say "spike" which basically asks why not use the golden spike as the final spike in the rail? He will agree.
8. Talk to chief whathisname and explain what happened. He'll agree, but only if Carver cuts off his hand.
9. Wait at the exit point to the other camp and tell Carver to cut off his hand.
10. End

My guy has 7 Charisma and 6 smart ass, 2 hard ass, and 2 kiss ass.

Well this is pretty much exactly what I did as well, but the game didn't provide a selectable option that said "spike". It works if you type in "both" as well, or click it from the dialogue when Kekkakah says "we can't both have it" at the appropriate time. My point was simply that up until that point, no dialogue in the game had required anything but using the provided options so I seemed like a hidden feature of sorts. Which I suppose some people find fun but I just felt it was poorly designed.

Fun tip: Avoid the heck out of Bergin if you freed Vulture's Cry on your own AND dug up a certain spot.  Mind you, I've never bothered to get Kiss Ass or Smart Ass that early on.

EDIT: Another thing if you go the Highpool route.  Talking to a certain merchant before saving the town gets you a discount in his store.  Not after though.  It makes sense.

Is the game worth it right now or should I wait of it to go on special right now?

I have seen some videos/review but I still not sure yet if I should with the price of 40$ or wait until the Halloween sale in the next  two months.

[umiman]

Probably wait for the sale. You'd get more patches too since the game is pretty buggy right now.

It has its fair share of minor bugs, but considering I've spent almost 40 hours on it so far I'd say it's worth buying it now.

My post about difficulties and being able to be the lonesome ranger in rookie.

Apparently, I have not met the true honey badgers yet.  These particular ones were stronger then the ones I saw in other areas, I think.  Either way, I came out of that with my unoptimized party spent of medical supplies and was constantly in danger of losing someone permanently.  (Yea, I dropped difficulty down from Seasoned to Rookie as soon as I saw em.... and stubbornly went on ahead.  Wasn't sure if its a mission that would complete on its own if I leave and come back.)
Well, it probably would have gone better if I actually gave gun skills to my main guys actually... and came in prepared for it.  Scotchmo and Vulture's Cry apparently are my best damage dealers with my poor set-up.  I booted that death dealer, Angie to make room for others.

I'd definitely say it's worth the purchase right now.  That said, with any single player game you don't really lose anything by waiting*, so if you have the willpower to do so or money is tight waiting for a sale is probably a wise idea.

*besides, I suppose, a slightly increased encouragement for more games of this type to be made.

[umiman]

Oh Scotchmo, you're such a cad.

"You sell water? Who wants that stuff?"

I knew tossing Angela Nofun for him was the right choice.


Edit: Also....

Apparently, there is a working character editor: It seems to work.

I just went ahead and edited out some int and spare skill points, putting it into speed instead for my charisma ranger.  Works like it should.  >.>  Now I can change my mind about how I built my character mid-game.  Huzzah!  Well, reckon you can also fixedit everyone else if you got no self control.

EDIT: The hobo for best companion.

"Sir! Unhand that woman!"
"Oh, I'm sorry. You're a plant."
"Well, you should still unhand her."

[Sergius]

Editor? I thought the saves were in plain text. The hard part is remembering how many points you should have if you «take back» some spent ones.

[umiman]

I think I'm at 3/4ths of the way through the game.

I recommend anyone approaching this point to have the following:

1. Tonnes of science skill. Preferably maxed.
2. Energy weapons. Lots of it.
3. Range extenders on everyone.

I'm playing on the second highest difficulty setting and regular enemies do enough damage to almost one shot squishy characters. It's best not to be in range of them at all. They also have so much armour.

[Neonivek]

This is giving me fallout flashbacks where some skills only shine WAAAAAAAAAAAY Later.

Do you have to spend alot of time rolls ng stats at creation to be successful or can you just create and go? Will you die if you do that?

Rolls... ?  You have a limited number of attribute/skill points to allocate.  Check out any lets play.

As for how well you do in combat... It depends on the difficulty level you play at.  Seasoned and Rookie, not really.  It starts to mean something on Ranger and on Supreme Jerk, you really gotta know what you need.

Edit:

Doesn't work with notepad+, but I reckon I probably need an excel program.  Seems simple enough in my opinion, well, using the program for example...

If you got 3 points in hard-ass, the raw numbers in the file will show 6 skill points.  (it is how many points it costs to get 3 in hard ass.)
4 in hardass would be 10 points total.
Just put the returned points the the unallocated pile.
