In the UP it's only a new location to find the Anarchs in the endgame because honestly the Luckee Star is not a good base to hide their wounded leader...

Thanks

Ah alright! Makes sense.

This patch 9.7 includes all content from another unofficial patchs too?

[MelGabrielle5]

Hopefully I can open the gate where the murder scene used to be. I just got to that quest in the game and I couldn't get it to open. I used the console to put the noclip, got pass the gate, but the vampire didn't show up.

I see many people automatically assume that whenever they get a quest everything else should be really straightforward. And when they discover it's not true, they attribute it to bugs.

Wait the removal of bump mapping option means i can't enable or can't disable it anymore?

Yes. I don't think there should be a system out there that can't run a 12 year old game without bumpmapping! The reason behind this is turning it off will mess up the water in the new maps.

What quest are you referring to? You will only need to go to the end of the pier much later, during the library quest.

Ah, i was worried it was other way around from the way it was worded in the patch notes.

Hi Wesp5,
Thank you for answering me. It's the "Night at the Libarary" quest. I killed the goon, I'm at the pier but it still won't open for me. I tried reloading the game and nothing. I tried using noclip, got in but it didn't trigger the event.

Very cool wesp5. So is this a seperate location that apears on the map that you then "drive" to, or has it been incorporated into an existing map (Hollywood)?

Is it no longer possible to send Gimble to Vandal in lieu of the girl at the Asylum?
