Ugh, it's not like I expected it to be on this forum. Anyway, I figured out that combat is too hard, and that you have to run around the entire map gaining XP before even thinking about going to the BRC. Lots of problems remain though.
Tess didn't tell me to go back to kill the deathclaw (which just, won't happen as it killed me in one turn), she just sits there and sobs. Really, lots of quests are kill this and kill that, but killing even a single critter is really hard. Where can you get NPCs to help you? I only have the dog so far.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to start a new game, as this one is FUBAR (I've been radiated for a few months now). Any good tips on building a character?
*edit* Fixed Tess thing, but killing the deathclaw is impossible. How many locations do you get from the BRC computer? I only got the military base. Where is Barter town located? What early locations should I go to, especially to get NPCs?
*second edit* I got the fuse in Rust town, how am I supposed to repair the old machine? When I use the fuse on the machine it says "Does nothing". Same thing when I use my repair skill on it. Major bug?
