Mark Sanfran, Caravans and Ironman.

O.k. is there any way in the game to actually get sanfrancisco marked on your map, without just going there? I know the bartender in Redding tells you that it's sw somewhere but doesn't mark it. I did all the quest through NCR before I got fed up and just whent there. I was playing my "Ironman" game (If you die you are dead, and have to start over, no reloading old games unless a bug.) and got beset by the masters army with a damned rocket wielding super mutant. I managed to blind him, but he still hit me for 258 damage with the rocket!

Also I had some problems with the caravans, I was hoping to do some leveling up and make cash for my implants, but I only ever saw the guy from VC when I was in redding on the first, what dates are they supposed to be there in redding? I tried doing the cattle drive from NCR, but after the second encounter I was just on the map, and when I got to redding they said it was a bad season and only gave me $1000 instead of the $2000 they promised me, and I didn't even loose any brahmin on the way. so I whent back to NCR and tried to do it again but they told me cattleseason was over. What's going on?

If you go to the military base(not the SAD), somewhere in one of the tents on the outside is a map showing the bay area. I believe it will show up on your map after you find this. Of course, the only way I've ever discovered the military base is stumbling across it, so that doesn't help too much.

Cattle drives: I've had that happen before. I'm guessing the bad season thing is just a random roll. And the "season" seems to be limited to one drive, I suppose because of the time involved for one drive. You could try again in a couple of months and see if you can pick up another drive.

I agree completely. I mean, I get ticked off when I fail a steal roll or when an NPC dies and reload. I can't imagine playing this kind of game. Ouch.

I kind of like the ironman idea, I think I'll try it for my next game, also have another idea to try to make my char as close to what I am as possible, gives you a char that you can really play because it's you. Would kind of get humbling at times tho. That and combined with the difficulty of the ironman would be an interesting play, if you lose, you have to kill yourself 80)

Ironman.

It does make the game a hell of alot harder steal is almost totally useless playing this way, I only do it on kids in klamath (kids don't attack if you fail, some adults won't either, but I can't keep track) or on people I know I'm gonna kill shortly, like metzger and his goons. It makes it impossible to do one of my favorite tactics, taking chem resistant, and using jet. It also makes it hard to keep NPC's I whent through Sulik, Vic, and Markus, and ended up with Skynet, Skynet was awsome! loved his ability to heal up completely, I used him to set off traps I have to keep a backup game because of all the bugs in the game, I can't count how many times I've had to go back because of bugs.
I decided to wimp out this time and play on wimpy combat and easy game, I'll probably need it.
