Go find the GECK! Ok, where the fuck is the GECK? How about a clue as to where to start? Or a tutorial, for that matter? I have a feeling I might love these games (I love the setting to bits), but it just seems like a hopeless project, which is incredibly frustrating.

That's the point, though. The game doesn't hold your hand. You're thinking of it too much in terms of linearity. In 1, you're supposed to roleplay and ask people in the gameworld where a water chip can be found, and most won't know, but as you go through the different areas it eventually reveals itself (I can just tell you where to look if that's not your thing). In 2, there's no time limit. The main questline takes up barely 5% of the game, if that. It's like Oblivion, you're supposed to handle everything else the game has to offer first. Except unlike Oblivion, there are precious few fetch quests and there are usually several ways of going about solving problems. Besides, they do tell you where to start. The village elder tells you to look for Trader Vic, who had Vault 13 artifacts. You go to Klamath to find Vic at his house, he's not there. You go to the Den and it turns out he's being held hostage by slavers. Once you get Vic out, he points you to Vault City, etc. etc. But it's not a race. You should gain a few levels before heading out to VC.

But I can see how it could be confusing. A few big tips: One - always, always run a character with "small guns" tagged your first time through. Two - When you get to the Den, on the left side of the map there's a building with a trader inside along with a few junkies and whores. Kill him. You'll get all of his stuff, which you'll need, and there are no cops in the Den, so nobody cares. Three - When you're done with that punk, there's a backroom in the crackhouse to the south with a bald trader in the back wearing a green shirt. Repeat tip two, but turn up the combat movement speed in the options menu, because the junkies will scatter, and they move very slow and very far.

Now you're ready to play.

As I said in another thread, I've always hated first-party Nintendo games. I can play the later versions of Mario and enjoy them, but Zelda and Metroid bore me to tears. I also hate any game that requires grinding to play properly, ie any MMO or JRPG.

Also WoW for eating the souls of all my friends who started playing 'to see what the fuss was about' who I haven't seen in months.

That happens far too often. And it doesn't help that most of my friends are the type that would fall for it hook, line and sinker.
