Can I store crap in one of the chests out of Ranger Citadel safely? since I finished Rail Nomads before going to Ag Center and Highpool, I am decently high level now and have a lot of items and scraps I would like to get rid off but can't enter the citadel.
Nope. Shoulda done your job. You can try though, maybe you'll get lucky.

I think peoplel are overreacting @ the VO work.

IT's decent in most places.

Alrdy along well in L.A. and I think the game is quite better than vanilla! Though in some places, a few changes are pretty questionable,

I haven't heard too much of the new VO ... I liked Angie's at the beginning despite the fact that it was obviously taken from two separate sessions.

As for Vulture's Cry, the whole point of the character is that she acts like an idiot to play up the whole "Heap big thunder, bad medicine" stereotype, so sounding stupid is on purpose. It's OK if you don't like it, but it was intentional.

It's like really bad.... You can clearly tell what was voice acted in the first release and what is new.. Angie sounding like two different people in two different places in every other line of dialogue is actually the better Voice Acting in the game.
AG Center.. oh my god...

I might do a Youtube Worst of.. the voice acting is that bad.

Who is Jan? I am in Ag Center at the moment. When I went to the morgue, Rose said something like "Rangers, I am disappointed in you. You promised Jan to keep her secret and you didn't." I don't know who that is. I am almost sure that I didn't encounter her yet I think.

Edit:
Apparently Jan is part of the people from Darwin village. If the quest fails for leaving the place without finishing the quest completely then its a pretty retarded quest design, sorry.

I didn't meet any people except enemies which I cleaned them up, no hints about the pass in the place nor in the quest log, failing me for just leaving the place to return later is dumb.

Good idea for when employing low quality VA.

VO drama is odd. I never pay any attention to it. Reading is at least three to four times faster. They could speak Japanese for all I care. Doesn't matter if it's some random guy doing the audio or one of the hilariously overpayed Voice Jews.

You can even turn VO audio completely off.

Only idiot would care about VO in a game that has more dialogue than japanese RPGs.
Undubs, or japanese VO, in some japanese games is necessity. But that's mainly because the atrocious quality of English VA, and also bad selection of voices which sounded sharply different than original and they were different in bad way.

Well - again - originally they didn't plan to VO this character. I guess they could have gone back and completely rewritten her when the decision was made to add voice. Let's change the slow-voiced dullard to something more modern! more sexy! you know, something the kids will like! :roll:

Look, we all know that DC VA, like DOS EE VA, is a thing because of consolefaggotry and their inability to read.

Yea, I wish if they added a faster way to leave a location after exploring it fully or at least for towns. Also for modding a weapon, since they made the skill be used automatically, I kinda wish if they extend it that to modding weapons so you don't have to unequip and pass it, mod it and then give it back.

Does the the hobo old man have an additional personal quest beside finding his hidden cache? I kinda want to get rid of him but I would like to complete his quest first if he has one.

No, recruits have no quests beyond what they ask of you initially.

Did you tell anyone you met any kind of mutants or enemies up there?

I am pretty sure that I didn't, I went from Darwin to the distiller to sell some of the junk I got and then went straight to Ag Center to get Rose.

I do skip reading a lot of the dialogue and fast forward but I do read the topics, I don't remember seeing anything related to Darwin village in Ag Center so far aside from Rose's comment.

I was going to try Highpool this time around, but Vulture's Cry and her voice acting made me reconsider:


I just played this part. In addition to being a shitty VO (and Zombra's excuse does not make it better), it is also only coming from right speaker. It seems most new VO have this problem.

Yeah, I can confirm that the new VO is only coming from one speaker. Ports can be tricky.

What if you pick the option where she drops the act? Does her VO change?

They could have just not voiced her at all.

Unknown, I didn't listen that far in because she talked too slow :) I hope so.

Yeah. I don't care about more VO, but once they made the decision to do a bunch more (including all CNPCs), it would have been weird to only skip her.
