Gecko hide reinforced leather armours

[Mr Noseybonk]

Da fuq is going on with this bugfest of a game now?

I'd seen this recipe for upgrading standard and reinforced leather armours with tanned gecko hides. I go fannying around collecting hides, then tanning them at campfires etc, and now I have all I need, the recipe for the gecko leather armours has VANISHED!

It does not appear when I use any workbenches!

Is it my fault for choosing the "Wild Wasteland" wacky-whoo perk? Is that making the game go schizo-inducing weirdo-weirdo on me? Or is it just another of the 1,000,000,000,000 ♥♥♥♥ing bugs?

Suggestions folks?

Try a campfire.

[Mr Noseybonk]

It must've have been a campfire then. But you'd F-ing think that crafting armour would happen at a workbench wouldn't you? Thanks Bethseda you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!

[Ladez]

It would probably make more sense. I guess the campfire was chosen because crafting these armors are dependent on the survival skill.

By the way, Bethesda didn't develop this title.

[Mr Noseybonk]

You mean those Obsidian yo-yos? They're WORSE than Bethseda for bugs?

Holy Jesus, I'd better turn off this "Wild Wildneress Woo-Woooooo" perk!!!!!

[Ladez]

I don't know. Quite a lot of the bugs are a result of the aged engine that the game uses. An engine that Bethesda has been married to for about a decade. And this wasn't even a bug.

And yeah, the Wild Wasteland perk is kind of lame.

[Mr Noseybonk]

IKR..... I've think I've seen only three things occur from it in the 100+ hrs I've played.

One was some skeleton in an old fridge on the road south from Goodsprings..... other than going "woooo" about it, it did nothing.
Two corpses with names (one was "Baru" or something) in front of house in Nipton set it off, that did nothing
Rex started woofing at me about "somebody falling down a well"..... and the game did mark something on my map but I was too slow to catch it..... anyway I found a Jimmy's Well NE of Vegas, and all that got you was a "unique BB gun" - so maybe that's all there is to this one!

Oh and I think one happened in Zion National Park somewhere, oh yeah, it was that shaman guy who gave you the mission to hunt "She the Ghost Bear"!

I'm waiting for Capitol Wasteland's aliens to show up again!!!!! Wonder if they capture those rockets the "Bright" ghouls set off in?

The aliens and the alien space ship in the Mojave.

HH there is Two bears High fiving(name of one of the natives)

LR there is Seymour a petrified dog.

OWB has walking eyes.

It mostly consists of pop culture references, in your mentioned cases Star Wars and Lassie. It's a way for people to choose for themselves if they want to experience content that is of a sillier nature, which has not been well received by everyone in the past. You don't miss out on anything noteworthy by skipping it.

Yes and no. This dev team has developed the buggiest cRPGs we know of, but they usually leave bugs because their quests and scripts are too complex to not leave too much room for errors. Bethesda usually has bugs because apparently the only single person who knew how their scripting engine works left around 2003. (I don't know what happened with FO4 since it has a new scripting engine, but that one can be chalked up for being new. And their usual laziness past map-building.)

There are 3 options:
a) You can have the current games, full of bugs, charm and content
b) You can have a bug free game that only has a quarter of the map and a tenth of the content
c) You can have a game, developed by a staff of 1000, designed by committee. It'll be big, full of content, bugfree, and utterly devoid of the charm and soul that makes a Bethesda game a Bethesda game.

Bethesda knows that their resources are best spend on mapbuilding, worldbuilding and content, and that they will be forgiven for the bugs.

@OP: Gecko backed armor is an Honest Heart DLC recipe, where you're pretty much restricted to campfire crafting. That's why they made it survival/campfire.

a) What's "charming" about "full of bugs"? Are we both on the same planet Washell? Same star system even?
b) Er, no, it being made bug free does NOT necessarily reduce us to 1/4 of the map and 1/10 of the content at all. Your statement has no logic, or truth to it whatsoever!
c) Once again - where the hell is the "charm" in a game whose genitalia is crawling with crabs? If it were my nutz I'd not be calling them "charming"!

Bethesda and/or Obsidian and/or any other lazy t\/\/@t developer involved in this game put their resources in the pockets of their bosses and will NOT be forgiven for the bugs!!!!!

Simple as!

*end of rant*

It explains why one excludes the other, and calling them lazy is really, really far of the mark.

The logic is quite simple. Staff that's busy doing bugfixes, can't be busy creating maps and content. Adding more staff leads to option c.

The charm is that you got the crabs in a threesome with the two hottest partners you can imagine. With a staff of a 1000 defining what's hot, you're getting two homely looking prostitutes.
