Nah he gives a different final quest that will ultimately unlock power armor training and give you a suit of stock BoS power armor. You can also get better power armor and the training by completing Arcade's character quest.

Fallout really isn't very much like Dragon Age or BG but if you like it as you approach Vegas, you'll probably only like it more as time goes on. Oh, crap. This post made me think about Dragon Age, and now I would like to play it again, maybe downlad some DLC... Sigh... There goes my laddering again...
They are making a Baldurs Gate 2 mod for the dragon age engine. I really hope they finish it.. http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1836

Dont wear BoS power armor everywhere you go as most factions dislike them outright xD

No, but there is a way to double-complete the BoS quest line which WILL prevent you from getting power armor (I did it on my first play through T.T).

is thre any point in hacking terminals? i just hacked one and all it does is let me disengage a lock? besides exp what is the benefit?

It disengages locks that you might not have the lockpicking skill for, certian quests rely on information in those terminals, and lots of nice story bits are hidden in those terminals.
Also, the remnant's bunker requires some science skill.

Spoiler:
+ Show Spoiler +After you complete the quests for Hardin and he says he has enough to remove McNamara he asks you to come back after a few days. If you leave and come back and McNamara is still there and Hardin still says something similar you just need to give it more time, i think i waited 48 hours and still got the same thing before growing restless and doing some other quests. When i returned later Hardin was in charge and you can ask to join, he gives you a new quest to do, complete it and he teaches you to wear power armor.

wow, vault 11's story is really awesome! one of the more detailed side-stories I've encountered in the game yet.

I wonder if the fifth guy who did not commit suicide will be part of a DLC

A question to those of you who are playing / have played the PC version of this game:
How crippling are the bugs in the game? I loved Fallout 3, but eventually had to abandon the game before I could finish it due to critical bugs causing my game to crash repeatedly and become completely unplayable. I'm not willing to play the Xbox version because the keyboard / mouse peripherals provide a much richer experience to me in these types of games, so for me it's PC or bust. Is F:NV wholly playable, in your experience? Or does it become unplayable at times due to bugs?

So far on my rig (which is close to top of the line) I haven't run into any lockups, graphical crashes, or anything like that. Of course, after a couple mods and toying with the GECK, I crashed once or twice, but that comes with the territory. All in all, stock on a decent rig, you should'nt experience any real issues.

There are a lot of fixes for FO3 on the Nexus, and a couple for FONV as well.

I agree that mouse/keyboard is a necessity for this type of game, as well as richer graphics.
See above for points on the bugs and whatnot.

Im on windows 7 and haven't experienced any big bugs. Maybe some flying units and units clipping from time to time but nothing to really fuck the game up.

one bug i hate is when i pick up quest items but already done teh quest or did it a different way it gets stuck in my inventory and often they have weight.

In some situations you can disable security bots or reset/deactivate defensive turrets. In other cases there are just bits of cool side-story info.

The only times I've crashed my game were when I was futzing with my console (2000000 hp = crash, btw). I did run into a problem with the BoS storyline, but the console can fix that.

you can get powerarmor without the BoS signs and you can wear that everywere np I think it's the armor you can buy from the BoS vendor
got myself the 51b one and Boone got the 45
dunno if it was mentioned allready, but your buddies can wear any kind of armor doesnt matter if you are trained to use it ( powerarmor )

You can do anything with console commands, specifically because it's impossible to have all bugs and stuff fixed. I personally use TCL whenever I get stuck instead of reloading an old save.

On XP myselft but same here. Some GFX bugs, some weird stuff but nothing breaking the game or crashing it. Only resorted to console commands once and that was to remove a perk that sucked horribly and made me kill my dog constantly....
