I'm not so sure that it will ruin the game, but it is certainly odd. Perhaps Bergman will come back and comment, or others will report the same.

i edited it actually, once i saw, so , yes

I should put this in a PS3 thread.

Broken Boone after Patch 1.06 on PS3

I loaded an old save and will test later on a new game when there is time. My character is idolized by NCR, vilified by the Legion, Merciful Thug to Powder Gangers and idolized and liked by other factions.

The two issues with Broken Boone were the constant reholstering of his weapon even in combat and the no head-tracking issue. The devs work so hard to make the NPCs like real people, even to having them blink and breathe. With every other companion, you can enter the space close to them and within 6 seconds they will look at you. Not Boone. He's still a zombie and just stares straight ahead, no reaction at all. He's no longer a "companion" - he's a robot...but even ED-E will look at you. So I'm very disappointed if this isn't fixed in a new game I'll test and will probably not play my PS3 version with the wonderful Canteen that I pre-ordered for the release. It just bothers me too much. At least I have the PC verson with a mod bugfix from Nexus that makes Boone act normally...and I hope he still does after the PC Patch is added.

The holstering and reholstering seems to be fixed in a 5 minute test in Fiend territory. I'll test that some more too in a new game. Thank you for that but I'm sorry to say that Boone is still broken. When the game was first released, he used to "watch" children as they ran around him and respond to other NPCs and now, ever since Patch 1.02, his reactions to the world, except for combat are nothing, just nothing.

I didn't test anything else yet, sorry...have to get to work.

Is it because xbox is more difficult to fix? and are you shure that it might come out friday? or is there any possibility it might be later today or tomorrow? :S

but as long as he works as a companion hes still fine right? isnt it just one of tose bugs thats irritating but you can live with? or no?

How funny, everyone complains that 360 gets everthing first, but the PS3 gets the patch first and the 360 gets it last. LOL.

So does anyone know what these patches contain? I am on the 360 and when ever it updates I can never find out what it is suppose to "fix".

As for the person going to level 41, did you actually level up to 41, or is it just your points gone past the experiance point level? If I remeber correctly, the same thing happend in Fallout 3. While the level cap was 30, people were still getting point increases but never actually leveled up.

So did you level up to 41, and be able to put point costs into your stats?

yaa, i know lol , suprised and dissapointed , haha

No...at this point, all I can do is hope that Boone is fixed in Patch 1.07. I don't understand how a community modder can fix something on the PC but the devs can't fix it in their patches. It ruins my immersion since Boone is my favorite kick-butt, sniper buddy companion...and I don't like zombies. Like I said, I can play on my PC with the bugfix but I likely won't use my PS3 version and it wasn't cheap. I'd like this issue to be fixed like it was before they broke him in patch 1.02. We all have our game preferences, don't we? Thanks for asking though and I hope all of your issues, if you have any, are fixed.

No, the patch is done, it's all on Microsoft to actually release it now. They only release early in the morning, so it will either be tomorrow or Friday. Pretty sure it's gonna be Friday.

Alrighty, thanx alot for the info, hopin its at least tomorrow tho :celebration: silly microsoft :facepalm:

I kind of like zombie Boone. It gives him character. He's like one of those British guards, and his personality and "I don't give a [censored]" attitude suits thw whole constantly staring forward trait.

Jason,

Is it up on Steam yet? I hate the fact that it doesn't show it. Either way I'm logging on tonight to DL Stalker so if it is it'll DL it then. But honestly, I'd rather wait to DL Stalker until the patch is up.

Thanks.

PS. Sorry for the razzing about the "Hand Holding", it honestly doesn't affect my RP anyway since I've been holding out to complete the MQ until all DLCs have been released.

I think the patch is giving me the 5 levels for OWBs because it is letting advance to level 45

Ah here's another bug I just remembered that may not've been fixed: the BoS merchant never expands her inventory sometimes (more like very often), meaning she never sells Microfusion cells. Kind of a downer for people who wanna do a hardc0re BoS playthrough and kill all the merchants who deal in energy weapons. Doing so means you can't use them yourself.

A lot of merchants actually don't refresh inventory still. Alexander, the Crimson Caravan guy and Mick don't, for some reason.

I gotta ask, the patch details say that youll be able to re hire arcade if you have ED-E in your party , does that mean that you can rehire him after his quest?

No that's referring to a bug where you had to dismiss ED-E or Rex, invite Arcade, then reinvite ED-E/Rex. Arcade wouldn't give the option to rejoin after dismissal if you had one of them in your party.

Jason would you happen to know if the patch fixed the ninja perk?

Sony must be cracking the whips to make up for their repeated recent humiliating failures.

Wait is the BoS merchant supposed to sell Microfusion cells at all? I just saved a game while looking at her and restarted the game to force her to update her inventory. No Microfusion cells, but she did add Tomahawks. Lolz yeah just what the BoS needs.

Yaaay, the day I have to go back to work! :meh:

Is the patch supposed to let you go past level 40? For some reason I can level up now.

Patch is up on Steam.

Now I have to wait for an updated version of NVSE.

Are you [censored] serious? If you can, I wouldnt untill they release the new perks with OWB.

I think its giving us the levels for OWBs which is bad because its not giving us the new perks for OWBs that might be usefull. So if you raise your levels to level 45 you won,t get more levels with OWBs and be screwed on OWBs new perks.

The patch got the game ready for OWBs I think the patch is giving the next 5 levels before OWBs which is a glitch.

This is bad

I'm in Europe and my game is currently patching. (Steam) So yay.

When it's done, I'll test to see if I can level past 40 too.
