thanks for the warning :)

ah, right... actually I am a little confused as to just which bit of Half life I am playing. It is called Half Life Two, but then there is an episode 1 and 2 as well, plus Portal, and a team game (which i am not interested in), so where does Chapter Five come in?? I feel a bit that way about Fallout. At first I hated it, then with some mods I got into it and have been playing it since quite happily, but there are things I might do differently, but the thought of having to go through the early stages all over again.... groo.

ah, well I can't talk to the slaver guy 'cos Faulks shot them all, so I guess its the woolly mammoth. I thought I had to take a picture with a camera!! LOL Thanks for the help - appreciated

hello, can someone please tell me how to use a camera to take a pic of the Lincoln Memorial - and am I to point the camera at the statue of himself or the pointy thing? And yes, I did do a search for the topic and came up blank :) Ta

um, that's a shame, my brain isn't geared for constant frenetic activity - I doubt I will last the course! :) Love the 'pome' Iliad - great stuff, meter AND sense!

Hi folks. As I have recently put Windows 7 on a new computer I decided to get Half-Life so I can see what all the fuss is about - it has been running for so many years, it's got to have something special about it. OK it's on and running just fine, and I could get to enjoy it once I know what I am doing I expect - but I am not much good at it at present. Well, that made me think - I wasn't much good at Fallout when I first had that, but much better now ( having Fawkes around to fight my battles for me helps a lot mind), so I wondered, is that how it will be with Half-Life? At present it's all shooting to survive, and I haven't got time to look around. I hope there is more to the game than bang-bang your dead. Will it calm down once I get through the canal system? Will I get better as I get used to it same as in Fallout? You are certain to have played it - most every gamer in the world has this game it seems....

Woogie, that is the answer I was hoping for ( the command, not the change of appearance), thank you for that - and thanks all for your other responses :)

Hallo o wise wuns. I would like to get rid of the MS perk because although it can be useful for him to take care of enemies, he doesn't look like he belongs in Fall-out3 - more like a refugee gangster from a Hank Janson novel. Am I stuck with him now?

Certain modifications can interfere with Broken Steel's activating at the end of the game. Post up a list of the mods you are using and we'll see if any of the known problem causers are on that list. Ok.. I have No More Gore ( I will not play the game without that)... - OH! WHO is a stoopid lady?! ME!! I just went into FMM to see the proper names of the other mods I have ( Summer and a couple of player houses) and what do I see? BOTH the add-on games are listed ( .esm's?) but I had forgotten to go in there and TICK ( usa check) them! They won't work if they ain't ticked. I shall now go and stand in the corner with the dunce cap on.... :stupid:

Hello folks. My son bought me the Broken Steel and Point Lookout DVD for my recent birthday and I installed it, without any problems that I am aware of (64 bit Win 7). I understood from others comments that you had to complete the main quest first, so I have done that, but the game ends as normal. Is there something else I need to do please? Also, how can I check that the add-on has installed - what files or dates should I see in the games folder if the new material has been added? Thanks :)

thank you gsmanners

Hello folks. I have put a few mods on and have no problems with them, but have noticed that when I am out in the wastelands hunting for raiders, on several occasions a raider has shown up with the red and white exclamation mark on him, which I understand means the mesh for something is missing. I conclude that something I have put on has somehow overwritten a standard FO3 game file ( BSA is it?), though I thought these were safe because their date stamp would be older than any mod that was created later. Anyway, would like to know how I can identify and correct the problem , I assume it is for some weapon. The mods I have put on are mostly buildings, but the last was Commander Darwins house, which does have meshes for a variety of weapons I think. Forgive if I have got it all about-face. Help appreciated :)

I did kill all the slavers, looted the camp, and set all the slaves free except for one old chap who was so deaf he couldn't hear me telling him to get out. If I can do it... you can do it - just save rather a lot!

now there's a thought... thank you overload, plan B :thumbsup: Sorted, deepside has clued me up - would NEVER have found it on me own. Thanks again overload :)

OK csb, I shall hang around by the house and if I see a suspicious-looking cove, sneaky sorta key-pinching, trouble-making, poo-stirring type of person, I shall know its YOU and I will come and GET ya. So, THERE! >:(
