Why won't Nick Valentine open the Cryolator case for me???

[Ricco]

He follows me everywhere, does my bidding at a hat drop, but refuses to open the case. He says it's not something he does. ...!!! WTHEFCKMUTHERFU>KING>SYNTH>BSTR>CDDDD!!!!

He can hack into master computer terminals, why not master lock picking... can't I train him???

I'm sure there's a use for it, just like I probably need that Stealth-Boy for something, but I might never know, there are so many questeses to go on, and now I want to board that ship and find a way to fly it. I'll never get to the end of this game, it has way too many possibilities.

This is why Bethesda games are so compelling, you have complete freedom to play and mod everything so it truly is an endless adventure!

You can always use the reporter...if you can stand to spend more than five minutes with her.

[Ricco]

aha. I shall try her skills out. I kinda like her... in a just wanna get in her pants and leave her the next morning kind of way. :)

Unfortunately, Piper (the reporter) can't pick locks. Cait is the one who can (can pick master level locks).

The cyrolater isn't that great anyway. it eats expensive ammo and if you don't have heavy weapons skills perked up something good, it just acts like a heavy inventory item that should have been better just because it seems cool.

But. If you optimize over time to get the heavy weapons perks, and the strength and armor modifications to appropriately carry around all your stuff, that cyrolater and a rail gun and the broadsider cannon pretty much takes care of most obstacles--if you can find and afford the ammo.

I might be wrong but I think by "desperate and on the pc", he means there are console commands if you really want it

[Ricco]

Regarding the freeze weapon: I will want it eventually, i'm sure, and expecially the broadsider sounds like some real fun. I'm still happy with the compensated 10 mm, and now liking the excited incendiary laser. ...sets enemies on fire. I did manage to kill a Deathclaw with one mini-nuke, but that must have been luck. I think I wasted a point on the perk that points me to my nearest quest. I am, however getting closer to creating a transporter so I can beam up to my ship (or into the Institute, or my molecules will come out all scrambled like in an episode of Star Trek). I burned through 6 fusion cores today, and now must search and search again.

Ding-ding-ding, 100% correct, we have a winner! Yep, this is one the reasons why I always refer people to buy the PC version over the console, as Bethesda titles and modding are so compatible!

Plus, with the Creation kit you pretty much have limitless control over nearly every aspect of the game itself!...Hell, you can even make a plasma pistol into a mini-freeze weapon if you want!

Nick can't pick locks, but he's good at using terminals

Finally mine!!!! Now, will it kill? Can I take out a Deathclaw with one burst?? Will I need any other gun to wipe out all who stands in my path? Furthermore, will I have a hard time finding ammo?

Oh yes the ammo is scarce pretty much, I suggest adding 3-4 ranks to the scorunger perk to find it more on containers. But once you picked the weapon up merchants will start to have cryo cells and containers will start to spawn them aswell. (Better than the flamer)

[Ricco]

Thanks for that. I'm finally getting in now to spread some cold air to the wasteland. :)

Did anyone else close the cryolator case?

[Ricco]

Winter has just begun in Massachusetts! Here are some of my favorite moments with the cryolator:

One-shots mole rats in the den by the Rocket Diner.

[Ricco]

Regarding the mole rat den... I needed to answer a question without bothering anyone here on the forum about it, and the question was; do fusion cores respawn? Without spoiling anything (I'm sure anyone here already knows the answer)...
