Comments - SpoonWraith

Do enemies still respawn on checkpoints within minutes of clearing it? I remember this being an annoyance when I played the game years ago.
Also wondering if the gun-jamming has been tweaked. I would buy an AK or something from one of the shops, run into a checkpoint on the way to a mission, and my gun would be pretty much useless before I'd even reached my destination.

I'm getting a lot of CTDs in battles with goblins and beastmen, just like some other commenters point out.

I randomly got a quest to kill some chaos dwarf sorcerer called Targrim, and so I did. Problem is, to finish this quest I have to return to "Caravan Master". Where is he?

Edit: Never mind, apparently he randomly shows up some time afterwards to give the reward.

Fair enough, I'll do that.
Would be nice if there was some kind of warning about this to players though, but I guess that's difficult to add without spoiling stuff. But it quests break if you aren't done with them when the merc attack happens, that's kind of an issue people should know about I think.

I'm having a problem with the Duty questline, and I'm wondering if I might have screwed myself by neglecting it for too long.
I recieved the "Infiltrate Freedom Bar" mission some time ago and figured I'd do it when I have other things to do in the same area, so I could get them all done in one go. Then the mercenaries attacked 100 Rads and the Duty leader was moved up north. Now when I complete the infiltration-quest, the game just points me to the Duty leader's old position which is empty, and whenever I speak to the Duty leader in the new location, he doesn't have the dialogue option to finish the quest.
Is it possible to finish this quest now or will I have to load a save from before the mercenary attack happened?

Looking forward to playing this, seems really interesting and I hadn't heard of this project before now.
But why would you put autoplaying music on the page? At least let us turn it off. I wanna listen to my own stuff while reading the page.

Autoplaying music on a webpage is extremely annoying, doesn't matter how good it is. Just saying.
Would be good to at least allow people to turn it off.

Thanks man, I really appreciate the in-depth answer! I've been playing for a couple of hours now, and I can confirm that Power Throw stops being a big factor when you get into the AoE spells.

As a mage, do I need to level my Power Throw to do more damage with spells like "Magic missile"? I've seen some answers to this but they're years old and I wonder if it's been changed in this big, new version. I'm hoping I won't have to level my strength, as it would make no sense for a mage to do so normally in RPGs.

I'll try and do a job for him next time I see him, cheers.
It's probably not a matter of raising reputation, I was Experienced when I went to him.

Just a question: Is it possible to order stuff from Nimble? I was in Skadovsk a while ago, I could ask him how ordering works and whatnot but I there was no dialogue option to actually place any orders.
No big deal if it's not in, just wondering.

Figured it out, I think. I suspect my helmet wasn't 100% completely in full condition, it might've been at 99% health or something. Went back and made sure it was completely repaired and I had no problem getting in.

I would, but that's way back on my character. Guess I'll keep it in mind for if I create another character and just stay away from x-16 for now. I hope I at least can get to Pripyat through the Jupiter route without having my brain fried. Cheers!

Yeah, there's plenty of situations like this now and then. I slept in Rostok near the mechanic a while ago and woke up with 5 bloodsuckers right next to me. I promply shat my pants before dying.

What works for me is one new main save every now and then and then an alternate save for that one, so I don't just keep overwriting the same one. And then of course you've got the quicksaves. That way you won't have to load too far back to sort things out.

For now though unless you've got any recent saves, see if you've got any weed in your inventory, it helps against their psi damage, then maybe you can make a dash for the exit.

Tried doing that just now, went to Dead City and back to Yantar and then into X-16. I keep dying. Really odd. =/
Also, I tried entering with the helmet in inventory without being equipped but that didn't work either.

Nope, no yellow screen. The helmet completely nullifies controller psi-damage too, from what I can tell, I've been fighing a few of them now with this helmet on. I do get the following message however:
"Dangerous psi-emission levels. Protection required to go further".
Seems like the game doesn't "understand" that I have the helmet equipped. Tried unequipping and equipping it again before going into the lab.

I'm having a problem: I die immediately when I enter Lab X-16. I bought the calibrated helmet from Sakharov and I have it equipped. Anyone else having this happen?

Is there a way to turn off the animated city-menu, turn it back to the default one? It looks nice, but now I have to load the city every time I just want to sell off some loot.

Edit: Never mind I found it in camp options as "Disable scenic menu".

Disregard this comment. It was a mistake.

Working for Le Havre, this Bolt person I'm supposed to kill doesn't drop the PDA he's supposed to drop. I've tried loading and killing him again a bunch of times.
Can't proceed because of this. Any help would be welcome.

Oh, and it's the latest version, 1.10012

Edit: I just spawned it in with mil_bolt_pda because it seems glitched in this version.

Alright, I guess I can make it through the power of save scumming. Cheers!

So I'm doing this quest where I am to "Kill the Master".
I drop the bomb close to him but now I'm faced with an overly wobbly screen as if I consumed all the vodka in the Zone at once and multiplied the effect by 10. Then I get teleported all over the place, often in front of trigger-happy zombies, while I can't even face the right direction to shoot at them for a second. The bomb finally blows up but of course I'm still stuck down here unable to move due to wobbliness and I die. I have a feeling there's another way to do this.

Any hint? I'm out of ideas.

Any hints on getting out of the building in Dead City? I've been in here for an hour now killing zombies and getting bombarded with psi, I've found a few books but I'm clueless about what to do with them. I've searched every nook and cranny of this place and I'm out of ideas.

Edit: Never mind, I finally did it.
