Notes[]
- If the Speech skill is high enough, the player character can talk the Quartermaster into giving a Gauss rifle, which the Lone Wanderer will keep regardless of the weapon set. (100% chance at 70 Speech)
- Doctor Adami's tent contains a holotape about Psycho. According to the tape, the drug was developed by Chase's R&D group and although its potentially severe side effects were known, it was given to the soldiers anyway.
- Formations of Chinese bombers fly over frequently, but do not attack.
- At the beginning of Paving the Way, attempting to leave Chase's headquarters tent before completing objectives will give the player various messages.
- If the player attempts to leave before receiving their briefings from General Chase and Lieutenant Morgan, it will display: "Attention! You must complete the briefing with Lieutenant Morgan before continuing the simulation."
- If they attempt to leave before assigning a strike team and picking a weapons load out, it will display: "Attention! Use the terminals to requisition a Strike Team and personal Gear Package before leaving."
