I tried to play Oblivion THREE times. Each time months apart where I'd pick up the game and play for 2-4 hours. I tried really hard to find enjoyment in walking around boring areas and into boring caves that all look the same and fighting using boring simple combat, but not surprisingly it was boring everytime.
Not going to buy another game by these guys for full price. Even if it has the delicious Fallout theme.
Oblivion was poop, go smh yourself itagaki pimple popper

same thing happened to me. 3rd time I put in 60 hours +, but now I can't boot up the game without going into convulsions...I really don't feel like I've accomplished anything in the game in all that time, despite having done tons of exploration/quests.

Fuck I might have to eat some crow unless these are bethesda interns reviewing the game.
Fable 2 isn't really grabbing me...glad I rented it. Might have to get this instead.
Went to midnight launch, installing the PC version as we speak. Already been about 15 minutes and its only halfway done :'(

Sounds about right.
. Though you'll gain levels and become stronger as you play, the combat seems to stay roughly the same throughout the game, almost as if the enemies are leveling up along with you.
its not like you have a job to deal with
well quit buying dollies and ladyboy psp games
Looks like Eurogamer handed out another 10. :-\

wow it really does look like Oblivion with guns. RENTAL
Finally installed. Game looks alright, but it's no Crysis. Here is a quick screen that I took at the beginning of the game

I hate being broke and lonely. I hate my life atm.
It runs great on my Dual Core 9800GT Setup with no slowdown that I've noticed so far, but I don't know exactly how many FPS. There are absolutely no jaggies.

V.A.T.S. is cool, even if it is something of a glorified cheat button. Basically, it lets you hit enemies on any part of their body, generally with a high degree of accuracy even at low gun skill levels. But holy Moses is it fun to use. Not using V.A.T.S. is still very much a viable option, but it feels positively pedestrian compared to its skill-based brother.
Character faces, while vastly improved, don't move too much aside from flapping lips. It's certainly not a game-breaker, but it's annoying to listen to someone yelling at you in panic while their face shows dull boredom.

I got < 3 hours of sleep last night. my head is a swimmin
and you have a MBAJ avatar! That guy rules!
Yeah, it's annoying, but it's fairly minor even though it's the biggest gripe I've come across so far. At the very least, the improved writing and voice acting do their part to make up for it.

Yeah, I'm not too bothered. It happened in Oblivion and I got over it.
Have you found quite a few new voice actors compared to Oblivion? The Oblivion people are good actors, but it's jarring that they're the same.
I'm feeling kinda owned. If first impressions are correct, Bethesda figured out a way to inject character into a game. I'm not ready to say it feels like Fallout (too soon), but I will say that I've enjoyed my teensy bit of time with this more than I enjoyed Oblivion at all.

I found a Bobblehead in the medical room, where you see Andy frying roaches. Gave me a permanent +10 increase to Medicine. I hope I dont miss any other bobbleheads here... or I can at least re-enter the Vault when I leave.

P.s. Why isn't Blackace here?!
Last night I came across a baby stroller on the outskirts of Megaton. I was a decent ways away so I couldn't see what was inside, but then I hear a baby crying so I move in to check it out. When i'm about 5 feet away I hear a ticking noise and then half a second later the stroller blows up in my face.
I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Combat is much better than anything Bethesda has done in the past, still not good, but it can be enjoyable. It feels like N64 level of gun play. I tried out VATs and thought it was crappy, so I only use it to locate who is shooting at me. I'm running it on my PC with everything at max at the highest resolution and it still looks pretty bland, but at least it runs smooth the entire time.
And Xbox Live on my PC is so weird.
Also, I find it funny how this engine was state of the art just like 2 years ago (it was really like, one of the first consistently next gen looking games), and now it looks rather dated. The upside is that it performs much better (and has very nice AA applied--at least in the 360 version), but golly gee, I want environmental shadows.
Also, faces seem to be using the same stiff animation as before (with little to no body animation in dialogue), but the animation/ragdoll when you are blowing enemies to pieces with weapons is awesome and visceral.
I hate myself for this cause I don't want to be that kind of guy, but what are the differences between the 360 and PS3 version?
It's a shame, in light of these impressive design elements, that the PlayStation 3 version is shockingly inferior to the others from a technical perspective. Although the Xbox 360 and PC versions display the occasional visual oddity and bland texture, these nitpicks are easy to overlook. Sadly, the jagged edges, washed-out lighting, and slightly diminished draw distance of the PS3 release aren't so easy to dismiss. We also experienced a number of visual bugs on the PS3. Character faces disappeared several times, leaving only eyeballs and hair; limbs on robots went missing; some character models had an odd outline around them as if they were cel-shaded; and the day-to-night transition may cause odd streaks on the screen as you move the camera around. This version doesn't even offer trophies, whereas the Xbox 360 and PC versions offer Xbox Live/Windows Live achievements.
While there is plenty of somber exploration, you'll still find lots of action.
Aside from a few PS3-specific sound quirks, the audio in every version is marvelous. Most of the voice acting is great, some sleepy-sounding performances notwithstanding. Any game's atmosphere can live or die by its ambient audio, and Fallout 3 rises to the challenge. The whistling of the wind and the far-off sound of a gunshot are likely to give you a chill, and the slow-motion groans and crunch of a baseball bat meeting a ghoul's face sound wonderfully painful. If you get lonely and want some company, you can listen to a couple of radio stations, though the frequent repetition of the songs and announcements grates after a while. The soundtrack is fine, though it's a bit overwrought considering the desolate setting. Luckily, its default volume is very low, so it doesn't get in the way.

Get the PC version if you have the rig for it. PC > 360 version :bowMy PC isn't strong enough and I like my "big comfy couch, gamepad, no install, 5.1 sound and big TV"®. The work to move my PC to my TV and make room for it is too much and not a good idea for my situation.
I like how because the game uses the same engine as oblivion, despite being a great game, your wasting your time.
Hyperbole runs rampant during heavy release periods, apparently.

about 3 dungeon designs used 1000 times over throughout the world -- NO
about 5 different NPC models used similarly, about 3 different NPC voices, again, repeated all over the place -- NO
shitty animation -- it's better in combat, but faces/bodies still don't animate much in conversations. STILL, this a fuckin' AR PEE GEE, not devil may cry
wonky levelling -- still there, but reduced, and enemies match the areas now
quests that amount to nothing more than "kill this person", "get this item", or "kill this person and take this item!" -- this wasn't even an issue in oblivion, and it's even less so in fallout 3
loot rendered pointless because every Tom, Dick and Harry is carrying ebony armor -- NO

I dont care if the game uses the same engine; what I care about is if its essentially the same game with a Fallout coat of paint on it (which would make me pass on it), or if they've addressed enough of these issues to make the game its own (enjoyable to play) beast (in which case Id be willing to try it).

Fallout 3
I was originally pretty happy with how quickly the game loaded up, and while 48 seconds doesn’t exactly set any land-speed records, it beats some of the other loading times out there. After waiting 8 minutes and 37 seconds for the 5.9 GBs worth of files to install, I gave it another shot. The second time around, times were cut to an even better 25 seconds from the dashboard menu to the action. I also timed the loading times for transitioning between inside and outside game environments. Before installing the game, these transitions took about 20 seconds; afterward, it was halved. If you’re planning on spending a serious amount of time with the game, that time savings is going to stack up over time.
honestly, the more i played it last night, the more often i thought "wow, i wish they'd made oblivion like this"
Fuck this melee shit. I gotta get a better gun.
oh, and I found some guy living in the middle of a nuked out city who just has sexy parties with these two almost naked chicks all the time. This game is awesome.
4 turns password guessing and DENIED
You get 4 new turns if you do that?
Do you think my laptop will be able to handle this game? I've got an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU at 1.83 ghz (so I guess 3.6 total?), 3 GB of RAM and a Geforce 8400M video card. If not, I have a 360, but my tv is broken at the moment.Doubtful. You'd lose a lot of the visual presentation and experience poor performance. The 360 version would be a much better bet.
This game is absolutely incredible.
Last night I experienced my first night outside the vault. Scary as shit. I holed up in some old barn looking thing because I went the wrong direction to Megaton. Didn't want to move because I was afraid of getting ambushed (combat has been somewhat difficult so far...lack of stimpacks).
I figured "no problem, I'll use my light" but that didn't do much.
Anyone go through the school yet? Whats beyond the giant ants? Melee isnt my specialty and small arms seem to make them laugh.
Apparently the light turns on by holding down the pipboy button. I just read about that yesterday after playing for 10+ hours wishing I had a light.

Ah...thanks
Question to other PC gamers: For some reason when I started the game my walking speed is actually running and when I use the shift key to run it makes me walk. Last night however, it randomly switched on and I had to use my shift key in order to run. And then this morning it switched back once again. It just seems to happen at random and isn't tied to a skill in the game or a setting, as far as I can tell. Is anyone else having this problem and how do I alleviate it?

Stalker - Clear Sky seems to be significantly worse in that regard (I most certainly did NOT buy Clear Sky).

There's a quest involving the ants. I destroyed them and got an Ant Might perk (+1 STR and 25% Fire Resistance)

Any good loot down in the mines? I got the machine gun from the doofus inside the school, but im a small arms character so I may just sell it for more 10mm and 32mm ammo
I cleared out the super duper mart, once through, grabbed all the stuff inside and ran. Blew a lot of heads off. When youre locked out of a terminal from a failed hack, how long for the terminal to reset? Does it reset?
Giant Mutant Crabs also got pissed that I was near their eggs and chased me all over creation. Took out two of them without wasting TOO much ammo :/
ok, there's a mine under the school full of ants, so I was wondering what was down there.

The ants that you have to fight for the quest aren't regular ants, they're fire ants, which in the world of Fallout means ANTS THAT BREATHE FRACKING FIRE AT YOU! :drudge
i think when you use VATS you are invulnerable from enemy gunfire.That doesn't seem to be the case. I was attacked by 4 guys at once and, while using VATS (during the animation), my character was still taking damage. There were just too many bullets flying. Same deal with the fire ants (if you use VATS while you're being lit up you will still take damage).

Yea, I was just about to post this. I ran into 2 raiders with automatic weapons and I was definitely taking damage while using VATS.
I'm building my character as an explosives expert. Using explosives (mines, grenades) in different ways or the opposite accidently tripping them and losing a good portion of your health or getting your limbs blown off just rocks.
Speaking of limbs, one of the reviews I read said that most players will go for headshots. That's not the way I'm playing though. Firstly, a head shot is ruled out for any humanoid or creature with fortified head armor. Targeting limbs slows the enemy or causes limping which is a really nice touch in the game and cool to see.
I don't usually target weapons or any body parts with armor becuase it severly reduces it's value, but then again sometimes it's a good idea because it's almost impossible to use armor / weapons in really good condition for repair. If for example I have 2 sets of say Blast armour both at 60% CND I can't use either for repair so if I encounter a raider with Blast Armour I'll purposely target it to reduce it's CND and then I can improve what I'm wearing.
30 FPS is good enough for me, heh.
It normally is for me, but I'm spoiled by Crysis and Warhead--would've been awesome if Bethesda could've worked in whatever trick Crytech used to make their games look super smooth at 25-30fps. 30fps in this game seems pretty jerky so far, but I need to experiment more with settings.that ones from 4chan /v/, there's a big thread about VATS AM 4 CASUALS blah blah.
they're nuts, this game is pretty difficult even with VATS. wounding enemies is a priority and if you can target body parts consistently without VATS, you are god. FPS games have conditioned us to go strictly for headshots, this brings something new to the table. It's also super useful for scouting enemies at long distances.
if you shoot the weapons from their hands you get karma
if you then proceed to drill them, it doesn't go away that i noticed
is there a tangible effect?

Having gotten this off of steam I didn't get a guide. I've never played a fallout before and only touched Oblivion for about 2-3 hours. Should I be good without a guide? I just got to Megaton and am talking to the black guy that reminds me of the character in Jason Goes to Hell (the one who ate jason's heart).

You can gain infinite XP if your speech skill is high enough.(My speech was about 30 at the time). Go to town called "Big Town" located north of Vault 101.If you spoke with a girl named Bittercup she should tell you about her dating exploits. After speaking with her, go into the house marked "Common House" and speak to a man named Pappy. There should be a speech skill dialogue option that says "You came here with Bittercup, right?" You will get XP every time you click it. (I got 6XP with each click). Continue to do this and you can rack up XP in mere seconds. Bethesda has not yet patched this glitch.

Yeah, NMA is really pathetic. All they've done since Bethesda announced F3 is moan and complain. Now that it's come out and got great reviews and tons of positive impressions from gamers, they still persist is pulling out tired arguments as if it still somehow means anything.
But enough of that, I found a really cool little locale yesterday. I was looking around up in a rocky part of the world and I came across a sewer entrance stuck into the side of the hill, just out by itself and not on the map. I went inside and after some poking around I found this hidden room with a couple corpses sitting around some radio equipment. Turns out they were Chinese spies. :lol

Gonna make quick Bad / Neutral characters to boost to Level 20 with :arr
So I need some advice. I was a big fan of Morrowind back in the day, played the shit out of it. But when Oblivion came out I never really had the time or drive to play the game, and the parts I DID play just didn't get me very interested. Would I like Fallout 3? I have a shitload of EB credit to burn and this looks decent enough for it to go towards, but I don't know how much I'll enjoy it.
I got Dead Space already, so that's already taken care of.
Are the achievements in this game easy? I'm in stiff competition with a friend of mine, he's getting this and I'm not.
Fallout 3 > Morrowind > Oblivion imo

If you blow it up make sure you get the bobblehead from the sherrif's office first. Blowing it up gives you 1500 caps and a suite at Tenpenny Tower. Disarming it gives you some stuff I cant recall and a house at Megaton

Plus if you destroy Megaton, you don't get access to the cool and funny Survival Guide missions and maybe some other missions.
So I went back a few saves on my PC copy to "max" out my megaton experience before destroying it.
Here's what I did:
1) I stole the Sheriff's key to get the bobblehead in his house.
2) Late night, when the bar is not crowded (both the ghoul and the chick that sells rooms were asleep), I blasted off Moriarity's head, and then killed the rest of the bar workers. I took their keys and opened the fridge and got a shitload of caps. A patron sleeping upstairs attacked me. I murdered him and got maybe my BEST prize: a combat shotgun that holds 10 rounds. I also stole everything worth a nice price.
3) At the general items/gun shop, I did the 2 easy quests (Walmart and rad poisoning), and then I killed the shop owner and her guard. I stoll all the shit she was selling. I sold the stuff I didn't want back to the 3 remaining vendors in town (Doc, Restauraunt outside and inside). When you kill someone, you get access to all the shit they are selling.
4) I murdered the doc, stole all his money and the medicine. It is all worth good money.
5) I sold and murdered the in-door restaurant dude. I murdered him at night, when he's selling drugs, because he has more money then. I stole his stash and resold it once I got to Tenpenny Tower.
6) I hired the mercenary/party member in town for 1000 caps. I already have over 3000.
7) Right before leaving town, I blasted off the Sheriff's head to get his pretty decent Chinese Assault Rifle.
I raped Megaton like a cheap whore before I made it a crater. I rule.
This game needs more music.
Someone help me out here. Is there some sort of trick to hacking? I've raised my science skill so I can get access to the monitors but it all seems kind of worthless in the end since it seems like it's all guess work. It doesn't even matter than I can back out after my third attempt and go back in with 4 fresh picks because the game generates a new list population everytime you attempt to hack. WTF.
Is anyone having any success at this shit?

Hit lvl 10 today and I'm loving it. Is the level cap really 20 though? If so :(
Is there a good chance we'll see expansions for this?
20 just seems so low. I'm almost to level 11 and only have played a couple of days. I look forward to going back a few times and doing things differently though. Is there a good chance we'll see expansions for this?
Screw the people that shit on F3 'cause it's not a fancy exclusive that uses all of their favorite system's SPEs or massive storage capacity. It looks way better than R2: More Full of Bland.
I wish the game had at least one cliff racer
You know there's a quest to basically murder everyone in Tenpenny, right? I didn't do it so I don't know the details.
I'll definitely wipe out megaton just because and I'll end up wiping out tenpenny too. There's just no reward for being good in a video game...being evil always offers the most interesting gameplay and the most reward.

You're not going to get a house...
Megaton was worth saving. When I finally got to Tenpenny Tower (like, right now), I just became more glad that I saved Megaton. I actually want to go on a killing rampage and wipe out those assholes. This one chick was ready to bang me until I said I liked ghouls.

I made all the rich bigots leave and convinced Tenpenny to let the ghouls live there instead. :lol

Hunting Rifle for mid-range, sawed off shotgun for close range - saving the missile launcher and mini-gun for the ultra super mutants.
haha I need something to launch the fat boy first, a rock-it launcher? I have the ammo but wtf do I do with it.

You should get one during the main storyspoiler (click to show/hide)When the Brotherhood helps defend the GNR station[close]
real talk guys: this or dead space?
Edit: and what kind of weapons can you make? So far the only schematics I've run into has been the Nuke-It, cap mine and the railgun.
For infinite experience in Fallout 3, you need to be at least level 8 and have the Sandman Perk. Sandman requires that you have at least a 60 rating in sneak. It allows you to silently kill people in their sleep with an added EXP bonus everytime. So apparently, kids, or at least some kids, can’t be killed in the game. A good spot for this glitch is in a town in the South called, Andale. There are two kids, one in each of the two main houses that you can use this trick on. All you have to do, is use the wait function until it is about 1 AM. When everyone is asleep, sneak into a house, crouch, and use the Murder skill that comes with the Sandman Perk. USE ON THE CHILDREN ONLY. They won’t die, but you will still get the experience for killing them, allowing you to do the trick as much as you want. Best of all, using this murder trick has no effect on your Karma.

There are apparently ghouls in the train tunnel that will talk to you. I didn't know about this until I was reading the strat guide earlier today. Last night when I did the tunnels, I just pulled a rambo on everything that moved.
YOU ASSHOLES JUST MADE ME ORDER THIS FOR 360.
I thought I had some self-control but now I know I'm just a dirty little whoreboy that does whatever other people tell me.
Seems like there are a few branches to the Moira questline.spoiler (click to show/hide)If you blow Megaton and go back BEFORE you go to Underworld, she goes to Rivet City. If you visit the crater AFTER you got to Underworld, she goes to Underworld[close]

Not only that, but there are about 20 different rewards for that quest depending on how you answer her and how many of the optional goals you do. The Wasteland Guide is a pretty insanely detailed sidequest.
Which is annoying because her voice is quite grating :lol

I've only played Dead Space a teensy bit, but I think either way you win. They're two very different games. I'm a manic person, so in my old age, survival horror and the associated atmosphere puts me through the roof, so I'm a Fallout boy.
You guys are missing out on a lot by skipping the Moira sidequests--she basically sends you all over the map, so you can do a lot of it while exploring at the same time.
As for night and day, I try to sleep at night. Like someone said before, this game has a night/day cycle I care about. Shit is too dangerous at night. I need to find a flashlight or something.
I hope the expansions add more dungeons/areas to explore and not just quests. I'm so hooked to this game :)

Hold down "B" to turn on the flashlight. It's pretty useless.

Im speech, small arms, medicine, so I couldnt get away with that. I just convinced her that her book sucks and to quit. I lost karma but got a cool buff. You can jack your karma up whenever you want by giving the thirsty dude outside of megaton purified water.

which you get for free from your butler if you get the house, right?
It's funny, the only one I've encountered so far was in a burnt-out barn, and I was able to snipe him from a distance through the holes in the walls. Good thing I didn't approach and try to kill it close up.

I will behead you like I did to that of MalekI know the words, but the sentence makes no sense.

You can also donate caps to the street preacher in front of the bomb for Karma, provided you didn't kill him too.
There was one relatively close to Tenpenny Tower. I killed him, too.

lol Megaton.
I'm such a wuss at this game. :lol
I'm running through the wasteland from rock to rock, looking around for shit that could attack me. :-\
Hahaha. The super-heroes fighting in that town are AWESOME. I'm hoping I can get their costumes.

You can convince both to stop fighting and they will each give you their costumes. Alternatively, you should be able to just kill them and rob them blind.

By the way, I love how huge battles will sometimes erupt in this game between rival groups. I've seen several between Super Mutants and the Talon Company with four guys on each side just going at it. I generally wait in the shadows until one side wins, then I swoop in and pick off the survivors.
Do you remember where this slave trader was? I want to get more bobbleheads.
Thanks!
Thanks!
as soon as burke pulls the gun, enter VATS and shoot the gun out of the guy's hand, or kill him
I loved it when the guys came back to the supermarket and started talking on the PA. I thought I was safe when I wasted everyone in there, then they came back, but I was right next to the robot, which I activated. I was like "haha! this robot is gonna kill all of them for me" then I heard the robot die like 5 seconds later. :lol That part is pretty awesome.

Hmm, so would it be beneficial to keep him alive?
I did a hard save before I told him about Burke, so I could skip telling him all together.
The Chinese assault rifle the sheriff has looks awesome to use, I don't want to give it away unless I have reason to do so!
I've been playing this game for hours on end and the one gun that I want to find in this game above anything else, the rail spike gun, is eluding me. I'm pretty pissed that I have not found it yet. Anyone know where I can find or "borrow" this gun?
You should be able to buy it from a vendor, one of the traveling ones.I was hoping it is not some random traveling vendor because something tells me they are going to be as hard as hell to find. *sigh*
Do you guys play stealthy or at a faster pace? I swear I play this slower than any game ever...a quest usually takes me a few hours, just cause of stealth/cautiousness :lol
oh right! I still need to go there anyway to get that mind ray gun and that bobble head and to murder some slavers.
And I unlocked violin music station by helping some old lady. No more three dog or douche president. Three dog isn't so bad considering he talks about how awesome I am.
Is Tenpenny good for anything after. Elsewise I'mma pop that old bitch. I did it for kicks last night and security didn't even give a shit.spoiler (click to show/hide)Letting the ghouls move in?[close]

Same here. Pinnacle of good. Although I'd be lying if I didn't say that I'm not smacking my lips at the prospect of replaying this one as a shitheel. It's getting harder and harder to do the right thing, now that I have portable nuclear capabilities.
Im a complete asshole to evil do-ers. I shoot them in the legs as they run away and slowly stalk them before punching them with my power-fist to finish them off.

Did you ge the lawbringer perk? I have about 300 fingers collected from bad guys because I'm the protector of the land.

No im not a high enough level to get that perk...right? Or is it something from a quest result. let me know, because I must bring justice to the wastes.
The Chinese assault rifle the sheriff has looks awesome to use, I don't want to give it away unless I have reason to do so!
Go directly to the diner near the Jury Street Metro Station (head west out of Megaton) and you can get your hands on the Xuanlong assault rifle which is much better than your average Chinese version. The rifle is on the corpse behind the counter.

Heh, you might have lucked out on the remnants of someone who lost a battle. I went to the diner, and there is no corpse behind the counter with this assault rifle.
I really suck at this game, I keep gettin' killed whenever I try and find food for that bitch at the Super Duper Mart
its like 10x more creepy when youre walking through a shitty old office building, half the lights are busted, and you hear the faint old-timey music from a radio somewhere on the floor. Or when you walk into a room and look down at the table and see a lit cig resting on the ashtray. Is someone coming back? I better get out. Wtf.
I don't know, I think I'm just gonna try and deliver that letter first
the radiation one is easy, just chug water next to the bomb for a while.

Yeah that one is easy, but there's a sniper in that area which makes it hard to farm land mines, cause i could swear he was also shooting landmines to make them go off. WTF!

Before you go to Rivet City, begin the Those quest, and find Duvok's Place so when you can fast travel to rivet and duvok you can rescue the girl from him and complete the final Those quest objective too

i saved last night doing the Fire Ants quest. those fuckers hurt
The Soul Crusher perk is better than anything else she could've provided upon completion of her book. I was tempted to go back to an earlier save when I got it but decided against it in the end because of the discount. Love how disappointed she is now too. :)
And speaking of the crazy Megaton lady, I never really did the quest to Minefield 'cause I was able to lie my way out of it. So last night I finally found myself up there for the first time and ran across some dude named Alabama, or something like that, on top of a house sniping at me. After several cars blew up, I got the hell out of there leaving him alive on that damn rooftop. Anyone know if this is some guy from that earlier Survival Book Guide quest or is this some other idiot?

So why did the Overseer kill Jonas? And why did they let you and your Dad into the Vault in the first place? Did they let others in? I never had anyone around to ask that stuff to :(

How do you turn on the flashlight in the 360 version?
So the mercenaries get off your ass when you become evil enough, right? I hope you can join them and do assassination quests. Those are always a blast.
I love bringing brutal justice to the wastes. Thats so badass.
The way it works is that if you're a bad dude, bounty hunters try to kill you, if you're a good dude, mercenaries try to kill you. This is Bethesda's way of forcing you to be neutral, but screw that since I'm a good guy and will kill those who stop me from bringing peace to the wasteland.
And you can join Assassins/Mercs. It is the evil counterpart to the lawbringer perk, so instead of good points and money you get bad points and money.
I want this game so bad thinking of trading in all my DS games for this game :O

It tells you how to in the game! Hold down the button that is mapped to your Pip-Boy. It's X on the PS3 version so I guess A on 360?

Tieno cant read apparently
The is the first Fallout in DC, the others were set in California so I'd imagine it could be done in another part of the country. Let's see a nuked out Hawaii.I'd like european city, somewhere I've been like Paris, London or Berlin. But they probably won't do that.
I've been interested in the series forever, but only played (wait for it) Fallout Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel. Neither of them have anything in common with the legendary RPGs other than the license, it seems.Cooler setting and world, better menus, so far better balance, better graphics, better combat (it's no just swinging a sword or shooting lighting) although not a shooter, denser but still huge.
I will probably pick this up next year but, seriously, how does this compare with Elder Scrolls Oblivion?

Ok, thanks for the tips.
Just a few more questions. What are the weapons that I should specialize in? I invested my first points in big guns because I thought it would be hard to come across more exotic weapons like lasers.
Also, is it worthwhile to invest XP in hacking?
i found another vault, but reading here it makes it sound like it breaks the main quest, so i will have to reload at an earlier point
Beat it.
Fallout 2 was better, but this was a good attempt.

I like F3 better than F2, but the latter felt really same-y compared to the first game.
god why is there so much talking at the beginning let me kill shit ffs
ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY DAMMIT, YOU WILL LISTEN TO ALL THE TALKING BEFORE WE MAKE SOME TIME LEAPS.
I killed everyone there except for the slaves.
Why isn't Oblivion this fun?
shit, i need to pick up a fallout 3 guide

VATS, more interesting game world, GORE :drool
Character animation is fine, especially when you shoot out someone's legs and watch them slowly limp away as you follow shuffling through weapons wondering if you should punch his head off or burn him.
Doesn't the CE have the gigantic zone map and the regular one does not? That's all I was trying to insinuate.
Uhh..I felt a little wrong about letting that guy that was locked away in Paradise Falls go free. WTF - that douche was "seeing" Penny? He was 40yrs old! Fucking pedo.
Picture this:
The world has just ended. You have no guarantee that it wont happen again and finish you and everyone else off for good. This alone give you the right do everything and anything that would get your ass in deep shit.
Looking at it this way, he can fuck penny in the ear 24 hours a day and have sex with those freaky cows. I give him a pass.
VATS is fucking awesome AND fun. It needs to be in every game.
So far lovin the game, although I hate how it just threw me in the world after the Vault with no direction.
Best power armor? You mean the tesla armor? You'll eventually run into plenty of that.
So wrong demi, so wrong.Best power armor? You mean the tesla armor? You'll eventually run into plenty of that.
No, you need the 4 sets of keys to get the t-101 armor in Fort Constantine, it is the best armor in the game (but i dont think you can repair it, as a trade-off)
lol, dumped the kid from THOSE with the crazy kids at lamplight. He's not as happy as he would be in Rivet City, but they need more recruits.
I got a kick out dropping the kid from Little Lamplight off at Big Town and how he was convincing himself how great that shithole was. Hopefully he'll get to fuck that whore over there before he gets mutilated by a super mutant.
And my NPCs are dropping like flies and I haven't had anything to do with it. Walter, the guy you sell your scrap metal to in Megaton, is now dead. I went back to town and I searched all over the place but couldn't find the guy anywhere until I glanced over at the bomb and there he was - face down in the radiated water. Son of a bitch. So now Walter is dead, the bitch with the Regulators has run off, I've been witness to 2 of the caravan guys die from animal attacks, and the guy/wannabe boyfriend in the Nuka Cola Challenge quest got his head blown clean off by some Talon Company fuck wads. Come on!

QuoteThere once was an Evilbore Poster named JOKING JOE
What?
Huh. I guess I forgot about that. I just remember fast traveling there and he was talking about how there weren't any stores because grown ups don't like to shop and the walls around town were to keep all the kids out. :lol
Oh poor Sticky.
I just dont get bitching about the tunnels, ESPECIALLY if you have the ghoul mask. There's even a map at each station letting you know which direction the tunnels run from where you are.
I guess you're just outgrowing videogames : (
I dunno, I just find the game too scary and too boring to really enjoy it.
:lol
Idiot

Yeah, but the map is woefully innacurate. The tunnels are fucking atrocious. It took me almost 6 hours to do Reilly's Rangers.
Man, what a fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellow.
The subway maps are fucking useless you fucktard since most of the fucking subways are blocked the fuck off so it's just mindless corridor blazingl
.
Jesus christ MAF hold back your nerd fucking rage. This game isn't anything more than a 7. Cry me a fucking river of nerd tears.
And this game is fucking piece of shit. Looking two hours for a photo of the lincoln memorial in the Museum of History and never found it. Fuck you game.
Oblivion was way better.
Wow
you know you can, like, walk around blocked paths
the floor the battery on is the floor right under you, with the bar and restaurant, wtf. You can count floors by using the local map. -- what quest are you talking about?
I hate how doors become un lock pickable if you break it, like the ones where I need to get the lincoln rifle

uh, you can undress anyone in this game by killing them and stripping them.
Sick would be sticking my penis in their decapitated heads. I only did that a few times.
Yeah I cant really imagine trying to keep AI partners alive unless theyre a super mutant. I couldnt keep the merc alive in Stealing Independence cause she kept runnin into the robot with the gatling laser gun.

Alien pistol that vaporizes enemies is probably has the most badass effect. Only problem is that ammo is rare.
And I got a fucking laser gatling gun from the deathclaw sanctuary :o

What does a laser gatling gun count as? Energy weapon? Big guns? I gave the gatling laser to the mentioned super mutant and kept to my plasma rifle.

Not really true, they're found more in the northern areas of the game than anywhere else.
But seriously fuck this game and it making me want to find some small obscure item IE Fission Battery, Photo of Lincoln Memorial (STILL CANT FIND THAT).

There's a shit load of them in and under Olney. Ug. Hate those things.
Living in constant denial must be tragic.
That's one of the ones I "accidentally" solved with positive results. I saw all kinds of goodies scattered around in there -- I was gonna go back tonight and slaughter the whole bunch. Why shouldn't I?More of the same spoilers:
Yeah but where the fuck is it? It's not in my History of Museum, so i'm chalking it up to it being this POS buggy game.
STFU you idiot, I already said, because of a game breaking bug in the game, I can't get into that part of the museum so why don't you shut the fuck up you stupid fucking cigarillo.
Meh, when do you start picking up good armor? I'm still early in the game, haven't even talked to Moriarty yet about my dad, but I've done a few sidequests already (Those!, first chapter of Survival Guide, and Blood Ties). I still only use my 101 Officer armor :-\

That is all the info you need.

Talk to Moira.
Er, nevermind. You didn't get the armored 101 armor from her?
Well, nevermind, I lied. I finished most of Chapter 1 except for Minefield's portion. Is that when you get armored 101 armor, after you complete that?
I wanna look like maf though :'(
talking armor >
I'm wearing my ghoul mask, with a shady hat (has +5 sneak) and a T51b armor.
i got stuck in a wall last night after about an hour session. my autosave was about 1/2 an hour before i got stuck.. :cry :cry
See, he bitched about getting stuck in a wall, no one jumped on him. Bitching about finding a big glowing picture, or having to use tunnels no one else bitches about having to use and calling it buggy.... I mean bitch about BUGS if youre gonna call it buggy. Half o this thread is just a big tantrum. Im gonna hall of fame it when its dead.
* Sugar Bombs (for the guy in the tunnels near the Family) - 15 Caps a pop, you can even buy them from peddlers for less and still make profit
Make sure you grab Mysterious Stranger and Mister Sandman Perks. The former is a godsend at times, the latter is a good way to exploit the game and fast level.
Just because I don't like the game doesn't mean I can't say it has some good things. I love the perks, and I loved that robot mission, just the game is way too scary for me, and I don't really like that. Kinda feels like it's a job to get through the game, similiar to Bioshock.
It's the indoor areas that get to me. Dark creepy buildings I can't handle. :( Even being in the underworld unnervs me because it's connected to a scary place.
I killed this huge mutant with a couple of mini nukes before I met 3 dog. That was cool. I was a little pensive cause I didn't know if the mini nuke would kill me too. Good times. Just took the toughness perk. I know I'm way early in the game, but still.
I NEVER used the pipboy flashlight, it never gets dark enough to need it honestly
I don't get how anyone got by without using the flashlight. Do you guys have the brightness turned up or something? I know for a fact that I wouldn't have been able to find some of these items without the light from the pipboy. It's pitch black in certain places.
I heading toward 3 dog's quest to set up the dish. Is there anything I need like 35+ in repair or anything. I'd hate to get there and not be able to do anything.
I really had expected MAF to be gushing about the end with thespoiler (click to show/hide)giant robot[close]
I thought that thing was awesome, and was a really cool scripted sequence they did in an otherwise awesomely free form game.

nah.
nothing skill wise (thankfully)
i found the kid vault last night and did just enough of the main quest to hit the citadel. i am lvl 18 almost 19 though. am kind of bummed about the cap at this point
:-\FInally got that fucking picture of the lincoln memorial by exploting one of the holes in the roof of the memorial.
Sigh. Only in a Bethesda game would you be required to exploit the game to do a quest.
Now I have to wait 20 days for that other fucking bug Bethesda couldn't fix, Hannibal not appearing at the memorial.

i am at the dunwich building, i know it's going to be killer from the not-so-subtle name
i also ran across a black radscorpion getting there, hadn't seen one of those before
Where is Dunwich and Paradise located?
I DIDNT FUCK UP YOU IDIOT.
If they can't code a work around for a thing they added into the game, then it's broken. Just because there's a perk that can get you behind doesn't mean shit. What if it breaks again?
Face it; this game has bugs.
he looks sort of like inspector gadget
Also , surprise surprise, ran into another game breaking bug. Apparently after you do themission if you have a friend along, they get stuck and just dissapear into the game world for good, so you can never get them back or get a new partner.spoiler (click to show/hide)vault 112[close]

Anyone know the route of the traders? How often do they come back to megaton? Where is the next nearest city with traders? I need ammo bad and bought pretty much all of it from megaton. Taking out mutants with the 10mm pistol isn't that much fun anymore. Sorry for the n00b questions. :-\
so from looking around, apparently crashing at startup has to do with some sort of codec error. but every solution says to find something called ffdshow and change settings but i don't have that and i don't know what the hell it is. apparently it's some sort of codec manager? what about if i don't have a codec manager??? :'(

Animal Friend lover level I and II are a great perk. A bunch of animals don't attack me, which makes traveling the wasteland easier (no yogi bears attack me) and some missions too where the building is filled with dogs and molerats and shit. Plus they attack non-animal friends too, the yogi bears are especially strong cause they always come in pairs.

Are you running it in administrator mode?
What was it?I had to change decal shit in the .ini files. then i saw the first blip of the video, then i switched it to run in xp compatibility mode and it let me get through the beginning and into the menu. Hit "New" and now it crashes when loading
mupepe just buy the 360 version and be happy. pc gaming is nothing but hardship and troubles.yeah, i'm going to.
Bethesda has a pretty bad track record with stability, when we're talking real issues (not being too scared or being lost), its just unfortunate pirates have made it so hard to return PC games.I decided to get it on PC because I saw the pics posted by you and others and it looked too awesome. Seems like there are tons of issues with people who can't play it. I need to register for the Bethesda forum so I can tell those guys they can get past the new game glitch if they disable heads =\
Still, even tho I beat the game on PC and it ran great MOST of the time, I still had my share of crashes.

No, I believe you. I had some crashes too. I was shocked I was able to finish it on PC cause it IS Bethesda. I endured the Morrowind days. I remember.
That sucks Rob Thomas. For a Bethesda game, I considered it pretty stable, but it sounds like there's something about your configuration the game doesn't agree with. Maybe it's the whole 64-bit thing?I'm running on Vista 32 bit. It seems to be some issue with my ATI card. Lots of people are having issues apparently.
I got to rivet city last night. Ammo issues are resolved. Took out a bunch of slavers. Any advice on recovering the android mission?
The best way to repair your stuff is to just do it yourself. Make sure you put a few points into repair, and then just scavenge for guns to keep yours in good shape.
If you guys want to get easy achievements, go 10 Charisma and 100 Speech (that might be backwards). You can pretty much get any quest, wait for about three days outside the town, go back, talk to them and use 100% skills to tell them you did the quests. :lol I did that for the Android, Survival Guide, and countless other quests netting me achievements for nothing. :lol
You are playing it, just you don't have to go through all the bullshit tunnels that even EGM said was a detraction in their review.

what do you mean scavenge for guns...how do you repair stuff? I've been wasting so much money on repairs :(

ja, I bought oblivion cause I wanted moAR but didnt wanna play through it again right away
If I just discovered the citadel, how much longer do I have to beat the game? I'm trading it for SR2 actually, and it has to ship out on Monday.
dunwich building was spookier than the entirety of condemned 2
took the animal friend perk because i was tired of every nuisance mole rat impeding my fast travel

Youre very close if you stick to main quests. You'll have to go get the GECK and then from there its very fast. In fact, for those in the thread who are looking to do more quests, this is the best time to not follow the main quest. Of course if youre good karma you'll wanna do the GECK mission to find Fawkes so you can do side missions with a super mutant friend.
Is the PC version an unstable piece of shit for anyone else?No but sometimes, yes. it cums and goes.
okay Im completely in the dark about this game. What kind of game is it? Im quite interested, all this discussion makes it sound very cool. Call me a nub, I never played a Fallout game
I just got the Declaration of Independence back to rivet city. Bill of Rights too. I can't tell if he gave me a reward or just gave it to the girl partner. ??? Maybe I missed something. Should I have killed her just prior?
Things are looking up in the wastes. :hyper
Any advice going forward from the EB elite to just some n00b?
The AI is fucking dumb in Tranquility Lane though--I killed Martha Simpson in the middle of the street and then Mr. Nuesbumb or whatever was just like "Good Mornin', kiddo!"
lol
I gave drugs to some dude in Rivet City and found him dead a few hours later. :o
ghouls often have bobby pins on them, go on a ghoul hunt in the subways for a little while
That's what I was trying to avoid. :( Doesn't anyone sell them? How the hell did I have so many at one point?
Okay, one more question. If you tag a skill, does that just give it a one-time point boost, or can you level up that skill faster for the rest of the game?
I just got to Megaton. I need caps, so I want to sell some of my plundered items. But this bitch Jenny Stahl only wants to give me half of the listed value of my items. Is there any place around where I can get a better deal?
Seems like I'm always out of ammo, and every battle ends up with me getting crippled, meaning I have to use one of my scarce stimpaks.
For some reason I'm not digging this one as much as I thought I would. At what point does it start to get really awesome?

make sure you just fast travel with them once you get them out of the building, way safer
man, when you get up north the deathclaws start popping up everywhere
i entered a building and one was standing right behind the door like "hey, howya doin" and slapped the shit out of me
make sure you just fast travel with them once you get them out of the building, way safer
Personally the fun of the game is not doing that. Give them weapons. Though I have to admit I reloaded, which I rarely do, because one wandered off and got killed by a super mutant.
cool, going there next
i can kill them pretty quick now, but they still do crazy damage if they hit me
bullshit there is nothing there but sewers.man, when you get up north the deathclaws start popping up everywhere

There's a city- Old Olney- that's INFESTED with them. It also has a super amazing treasure hidden in it.

is there a certain type of weapon that works better on robots? I'm trying to go through the Historical Society quest an the fucking robots are owning me and my partner constantly. I'm only at level 10 right now so I might have to come back later.
assault rifle is what I had the most success with. The robots in stealing independence are bitches, killed the lady that was with me. Her fault tho, i've never seen someone stand directly at the end of a gatling laser gun barrel before.
If you do either it will get you bad karma. apparently you're supposed to be diplomatic and convince Tenpenny to let them stay or some shit. I killed Tenpenny and am fucked on that mission.

Turn off Autosave!
Just go sleep in a bed, get your health back, then go kick that robot's ass. There's a great bed you can use in Grayditch. I'm not sure if you have to complete the "Those!" quest to use it, but I don't think so.
Also, you should definitely use VATS. Without VATS, what you would have is basic FPS combat with horrible, horrible, horrible hit detection and enemies that can strafe at cheetah-sprint speed. And seriously, this game has the worst hit detection I've seen in first person combat.
@ Borys: why the fuck would anyone want to level more slowly?
@ whoever: what is so special about Deathclaws? I killed the first one that was terrorizing a bunch of wastelanders (then I killed the wastelanders), and it went down pretty easily. Mirelurk Hunters are way tougher, IMO.

I keep autosave on as a backup to my normal saves. After encountering a glitch or two, it never hurts to have one more that might be more recent.
As for the leveling, I can only assume it's due to how fast you can cap out your player if you're more of an explorer-type player. If you encounter a group of super mutants fighting some raiders and wipe them all out, you can level up pretty quickly. I hit level 20 before I had really scratched the surface of the main quest. Takes a bit of fun out of playing once you do.
And mirelurks are pretty easy (comparatively) if you get a couple of rounds into their exposed faces.
Plus, of course, critical hit headshots basically blow the head off of enemies, which is awesome.
Isnt there a book called like Eternity Road or something, where these people go through a ruined america hundreds of years in the future where people live like amish folk and theyre all freaked out by the left behind technology

John Hillcoat, and if you've seen The Proposition, you'll know he's perfectly capable of doing a fantastic job, especially concerning the setting.

SHOULD I BOMB MEGATON OR NOT
I started focusing more on small guns and its perks and the difference in combat is noticeable.
Can you ever add more points to your special stats? I only have 4 strength and I want 5 for that strongback skill :s

this is a Bethesda game
strength is the first thing you bump up becau...

What happen to you guys during that scenario?
I tried searching for that chick's hometown, who's family doesn't write her back anymore, and I can't find the place. Apparently it's on top of some overpass but I can't find a way to get there. I know how to get UNDER the overpass, but on top?
that's why Burke tells you to go see that junkie. mentats will put you over the necessarily amount of skill point.
Oh, so you can be quick at the draw huh. That part caught me off guard. I mean, I expected him to pull out a gun and start blasting, but not so fast.that's why Burke tells you to go see that junkie. mentats will put you over the necessarily amount of skill point.
Dunno what you're talking about here.
speaking of megaton and caps should i kill that junkie bitch?
i think im gonna go back and kill her, whats the reward?
what junkie bitch
I have no idea wtf to do in this game... how do I disarm the bomb? I have to go to the radio station or something now to look for my dad... and I have another quest to do where I have to give the girl a letter to her family. Should I concentrate on raising my karma, or does it matter? And do melee weapons work OK, I've been using a baseball bat for now.
I made it through the Farragaut station and up to Chevy Chase (I like how the game takes place in a city I've actually visited, so the names are familiar to me a bit), to the front of the radio station, and I died whilst fighting the giant mutant, wasn't able to damage him with an assault rifle.
So you're supposed to just go around and doing subquests? Does grinding help in this game? I'm only on level 3 so far.
Game isn't bad so far, a bit too overwhelming for me though I think as of now.
So can you still stack achievements from both a pc version and a 360 version or have they fixed that? I'd run through this again for a quick 1k
ran into a glitch, though
i wanted to celebrate my triggering of nuclear holocaust by getting a stunning new hairstyle, but when the screen came up on my robotic butler's thing it wouldn't show my head. Hope that glitch doesn't last through the whole game :(
I've tried doing the sidequest Those! and those fire ants are ridiculous.

Finished it last night, my only complaint is that it ends!
I think I got about half the main quests. Finished at level 14. NEVER managed to kill a deathclaw, and the only way I killed a Super Mutant Behemoth was by the game glitching.
Where's the point of no return? I wanna finish up the rest of the quests. (Spoiler tag it plz)
By the way, regarding the ending,spoiler (click to show/hide)WTF is with the sacrificing myself bullcrap.

Your best bet early in the game is to sell pretty much ANYTHING. Pick up as much as you can carry and sell it, regardless of how much they're worth. That way you will:
a) get caps
b) pick up ammo along the way
Just be an avid searcher.
What are the best weapons to use? I'm putting points into melee and small guns... what do assault rifles count as?
I've been looking for more Vaults. I've heard that there's Vaults out there but I haven't found any.
The underworld is basically the only peaceful place for Ghouls to live normally.I've been looking for more Vaults. I've heard that there's Vaults out there but I haven't found any.
there are, but three of them are related to quests (two main, one optional). I think you should check out Vault-Tec HQ first to get all the access codes beforehand if you want to scout them out.
Where exactly is the underworld?
Himuro, prepare to laugh at yourself.
The Museum of Technology is right fucking by the subway entrance. If you take the metro path from Rivet City, the building is on your right when you emerge.
Yes, it is a bitch getting there too. It's like the Super Mutants are having a Fuck the Shit out of You party right in the middle of the fucking mall. Thank God for Underworld.

I'm supposed to find Reilly at Underworld but I never did see him.

Are drugs in the game?
There are various drugs, and each has its own positive effects and side-effects if you get addicted to them[12]. Initially, the real-world drug morphine was included in the game, but because it caused the Australian rating board to refuse classification of the game, morphine was renamed to Med-X
i like that all the collectible stuff relates to the game itself and isn't just random shit thrown in a box
Just got this today, I wasn't expecting much after Oblivion but im enjoying it so far. Is there anything important I should do in Megaton before blowing it up?

No. I kind of miss it, though.
:lol Stealing Independence was awesome.
I accidentally hit her with a rocket. :-\Yeah I had an assload lying around since every other 10mm gun sucks.
Anyway, that submachine gun she has is amazing. Gave me the chance to finally start dealing some damage with my gigantic stash of 10mm ammo.

this is why you save save and autosave in bethesda games
i should probably max out the save slots in about a week

Wow. I just found Lincoln's rifle and it's bad ass. Fuck the old guy in Rivet City, I'm keeping it.

how did you get it? is it a lot better than the standard hunting rifle?
WTF are you supposed to do about repairing rare weapons? I haven't been able to find any extra plasma rifles, and the asshole NPCs can't repair anything past 50%.
Why are .44 rounds so hard to come by?
oblivion had like 7-10 big cities :bow
-I kinda cheated a bit and looked at a FAQ online, noticed there were only something like 30 quests (and I assume, 1 achievement per quest)... will probably do these, get the bobblehead achievement, and the 100 areas achievement. Can you get all the quests on the first run through the game, I know obviously you won't be able to get the level 8/14/20 good/neutral/evil achievements all on one run. I'm playing it pretty straight so far, though I'll occasionally loot and try my hand at hacking.
-What are some of the best combat strategies? I'm working on building up melee and small guns (I like the Assault Rifle so far). What I do is I'll go into VATS mode, get off a few hits, then just constantly shoot at them/melee at them and run away while my AP recharges, where I go into VATS again.
-How the hell does lockpicking work?
-If you fail in hacking a terminal, picking the lock on a box, or picking the lock on a door, are you ever able to retry or are you fucked for good?
-I'm on level 5, about to hit level 6. What are some recommended perks and skill distributions? I assume you should minmax and specialize, not try to make a general character.
so im home sick as a dog and playing this right. so. awesome.
fallout 3 redeemed. could this be better than Oblivion?! :o
Example, don't blow up Megaton until you finish the Wasteland Guide / Blood Ties.
There gonna be new achievements with the dlc?
17 skill points, unless you get the perk that increases that number to 19 or 20 (I think). Also, there's a perk that gives you one skill point for every book that you find
wow :bow hubris comics :bow2
God, I just emerged from the metro station into the Mall, those super mutant brutes there... ugh, killed me like 20 times, before I ran away. :P Now I'm inside the museum, finally...
I switch between Assault Rifle and Combat Shotgun for my weapons. I am fairly annoyed with the combat, seems the enemies can hit you so much easier than you can hit them. Are there any skills/upgrades I can do to improve my aim? Or is going for the head each and every time a bad idea?
I shoot all the distinguished effete fellows in the head yo. Bam bam.It's awesome, Kosma. Way better than Mass Effect... and different.
Amazing game by Bethesda.
SHITS ALL OVER SHITTY OBLIVION
Yeah I REALLY didnt like Oblivion, this is ace. Better then ME? Could be.When I started playing, I remember thinking to myself "Wow, the guy playing the voice of James sure sounds a lot like Liam Neeson." I had no idea that it actually is Liam Neeson. Awesome.
Cool, although I dunno who James is yet.

I believe it's 2, not one.
just keep backing out and retrying, eventually you'll get itThat's what I keep doing, but this one dumbfounded me because there doesn't seem to be a word on screen that satisfies those conditions.

Make sure you play the text adventure game hidden on one of the terminals.
Actually I'm at the minefield town now, how do I get a mine for the lady who speaks like Sarah Palin ("Wasteland Survival Guide" quest).
:bow speech :bow2
I'm also hoping the game answers some questions, like who bombed the US and why?
wow :bow hubris comics :bow2

FUCK I missed that. which terminal was it? i presume its the one in the room with all the desks and the hole in the floor?

nothing gets old about shooting Moriarty. Nothing.
With my newly rolled chick toon(level 4 I think) I've already done quests I didn't in my last play through. This game. :bow2

US invaded China, using the newly-developed power armor, which overwhelmed the Chinese military. They panicked, let the bombs fly, and everyone else followed suit. I'd like to see a Fallout set in another country, because evidently no one was spared.

They follow the caravan road and you can see where they are on the world map -- they're marked with a quest marker.

I waited three or four days at the memorial and they eventually showed up.
what perks should I concentrate on? I'm level 13-14 now and I've been doing intensive training every level for about what feels 10 levels now. Should I concentrate on something else? I've maxed str, int, and i've been putting into luck for critical hits and extra stuff for skills.
Achievements are cool now guys

i never said they weren't ya fat bitch
With my new chick, I thought it would be cool to take the black widow perk which does an extra 10% damage to all male enemies. There is the same for male character to do the same damage to female enemies, but most of the enemies are male.
It's already paying dividends. I took down Arkansas in 2 hits. 8) Super mutants are pretty easy to take down now.8)
Sherrif is dead son. And how can I deactivate the bomb? Whenever I come close to it it only says 'activate'. Also don't I need high science to pull that off?
make sure you rat out that cigarillo in the bar before you disarm the bomb
then kill him before he kills the sheriff and you'll get a key to the armory
I dont have any of those waypoints yet, but I am on that Prime quest I guess (the one where Im supposed to go to the library right?)
How far along in the game am I at this point you reckon? (I also got Li's quest to search for my dad at the Project Purity HQ)

The key to the Armory in Megaton? I freakin' broke in there, saw what I was up against and lit up the mothafucka
I wandered to Fort Bannister yesterday and killed all those fucking mercenaries outside, but my locpick skill was too low break in the underground facility.
I love shooting them in the face with my shottie, I wish I had more AP though.

the pc version rocks, so hard
got a mod that added a new radio station so i could listen to my own tunes through the pip-boy

I'm looking for Pinkerton. Any leads would be helpful. :-*
I'm going to turn the android in this time around. Something about a ghost on the bow??
790/1000. Slowly but surely I'm closing in. I'll do the Big Town XP exploit to get the karma playthrough achievements. Once I get these last 210 points, I'll have my first ever 1000/1000. Looking forward to it.
I'd make a joke about Green Shinobi/demi = banging chicks/getting 1000 points on Xbox 360 games, but I don't want to get banned.
Can't yet. Need a higher lock pick skill

jesus a super mutant behemoth just annhilated me :(
'nother quick question - the Super Mutant Behemoths.. I think it was the Brotherhood who took out the big one in front of Galaxy News Radio HQ, not myself... will I get the achievement still if I kill all the others?
I found Pinkerton and turned the android into Zimmer this time around. Last time I lied to Zimmer. He gave me the VATS helper.
I went into the National Archives and teamed up with that girl again. I was walking into an area and tripped a mine so I jumped away but it blew her in half. Should I take her shit and finish it alone? Last time we made it back and split the caps and all was good. Anyone do Stealing Independence without her?

Didn't the rest of rivet city attack you for attacking Zimmer?
I let them sneak in and tear everyone to shreds, but not until after I shot Tenpenny's head off and threw his corpse over the balcony.
Didn't the rest of rivet city attack you for attacking Zimmer?
Nope, because I had Harkness's permission. Didn't lose karma either.
Now I gotta decide what I want to do with Tenpenny Tower... I kinda feel sorry for those ghouls in the subway.
I just got this game, how do you blow up megaton? I got that fuse thing but I can't figure the out how to place it.
Yesterday i was all "i need to sell some stuff i got last night, shouldn't take me more than 10 minutes"
and then i played for 10 hours straight.
:-\ :-\ :-\
game of the year, probably generation, best thing to happen to rpgs since FFXII made FF totally irrelevant.
Must... resist... urge... to open up my 360. I got an Arcade and the 60 gig hd accessory pack yesterday and opened it up just to verify that indeed, I got a Jasper. 150w power brick was there, last 5 digis on the serial are 84505. I'm golden.
The problem is that my dad is bringing me an hdtv for Crimmus, so until he shows up this Wednesday I'd have to play the game on a shitty ol' tv. I don't want to rape my eyes, so I'm holding off.
i'm wandering around after finishing the game doing all the quests and generally just loving the world.
GOTY total for me.
Some of the bits were fugging hard too - thewas insanity. My own fault i guess as i decided to go in all guns blazing.spoiler (click to show/hide)Kid rescue at Paradise Falls[close]

I still wish the dungeons were actually somewhat interesting...The dungeons are awesome. It's all about survival and planning and a bit of luck. I don't need the standard dungeon>multiple levels>boss that has been done to death for ever. I would rather scrounge for stimpacks and end up beating mutants to deth with their own hammer because all i have left is dog meat and no ammo.
I have this fucking awesome bug in Paradise Falls where
Doing that (Moria?) Survival Book Quest to completion is good. Mainly because you get a good final reward from her. Other than that, her and the Atomic bomb defusion were the only quests I partook in Megtaon :lol. I mostly wandered and explored.Well it's not just megaton quests really, I keep bumping into other quests while doing the handful of megaton ones which takes up time. In the middle of the one for this lady in megaton about delivering a letter to her cannibal brother I wandered into some kid being attacked by ants and it led to a quest that took me forever to do.
Wow Tennepenny tower is full of assholes, I excepted the offer to shoot the ghouls and even made Gustav pay more, but once I get to the ghouls Ill def help them or something, cause those loonies in T tower must get a reality check.

I did the leaky pipe quest in Megaton which is awesome because now I can trade my scrap metal to the water plant guy for 10 caps a piece.
Well, I have 41 speech challenges and haven't done:
Nuka Cola Challenge
Oasis
Superhuman Gambit
and a few whose names I forget, so hopefully I can get the remaining 9 here. I saved Big Town, I should check out those people and use the exploit if I cant find 9 more. I have 40 terminals, should be easy to find the last 10. Doing a 1000 point run looks to be extremely doable at this point, provided I put in 30 more hours or so.

Yeah I'm like about 40 hours in... the thing that will probably take me a while is getting the 12 bobbleheads I'm missing. Got the Weaponsmith achievement today. This may very well be my first 1000 point game.
apparently its part of a quest but i dont have the right karma? or the artifacts
This game isn't as good as Oblivion. I sort of feel like I'm forcing myself to play it. I might just stick to the main quest to finish...
okay finally picked this up, cant wait to get stuck in. One thing before I start, can you get all the achievements from one savegame? I mean if you go good/evil does that forfiet certain achieves or are they all doable?
Anyone do the Reilly's Rangers quest? I totally missed this the first time around. Anything I should do/not do?

Unless you're trying to fast travel from a place that doesn't allow it, or there are enemies in the vicinity, it's just a hateful bug. Have fun in the metro tunnels. :teeheeoh i spent like 3 hours clearing out the dupont tunnels, got out, found the mall and returned to megaton, but when i reloaded the mall isn't on the map anymore.
luckily it looks like the tunnels are still cleared.
Full control >>>> partial control.
I use both. I save manually whenever anything significant happens, or I reach a pont after wandering the overworld for a while and don't want to lose a bunch of progress, but I like having the autosave on for the indoor parts, just in case.
Barrett doesnt involve any quest
Good lol, I wanted his shotgun. NOW IT'S MINE. And I'll make up for that bad karma I got when I killed him in cold, covetous blood by using said shotgun to regulate on Burke back in Megaton.
Oh. Mah. GAWD.
This game raped my face so hard today. I think I'm gonna roll up another character, tho, because I accidentally took the perk at lv. 4 that gives you an extra 10% exp instead of the one that gives you an extra couple of skill points per level. OOPS.
Also, I'm afraid I might have fucked up something- at the Seneca station around Arefu I killed a ghoul named Barrett who looks like he was probably there to give quests or something later. But I WANTED the shotgun on his desk. WANTED IT, I say. And I'm trying to play a good character. :-\
Anyway, GOTY and all that shit.
Head of State quest broke :'(
They aren't even there, but it tells me they are, even after 10 days. I have to go back to an old save. Shit quest total.

Automatic Rifles are horrible in this game and I was proficient at Small Guns. Long Range single shot Rifles rock and Shotguns for intimate encounters. I wasn't good with Big Guns so I'm not sure whats good in that area (the Flamer seemed pretty cool). With that said, my most used weapon was the Shotgun. VATS to the Face distinguished black fellow!
what level are you? if you're doing this quest at the beginning of the game, not a good idea. You should be lvl 7/8 before doing it. Bring a bunch of rifles, mines and ammo and those ants shouldn't be too much of a problem. And yeah, keep your distanceI did it at level 3. Just use the ant nectar and shoot the antennas. The only problem I ran into was running out of ammo, but I hand two plasma pistols and those have seemingly an infinite amount of ammo, so if you have a couple of those you should be good.
Holy Christ, how the hell do you guys deal with the fire ants in Grayditch? I'm trying to do the "Those!" quest and my usual method of running right up to something and feeding it a shotgun blast to the face is turning out to be a woefully BAD idea with fire breathing ants.
I keep fucking dying. :'(
i keep fucking over encumbering :'(
I keep fucking dying. :'(
Don't stray too far from Megaton until you level up a bit. And get a gun with a scope as soon as you can.i keep fucking over encumbering :'(
I grab a bunch of shit, take some Buffout so I can carry more and warp to a place where I can sell it all. Or at least I used to. Now I have more caps than I know what to do with.
I haven't even found megaton. I'm in greditch fighting fire ants with a pistol :lol I cleared out a school though, where is megaton from there?
how is Megaton not the first place you walk to

iirc, after breaking the sequence, you can go to GNR and talk to Three Dog and still get the achievement for Following In His Footsteps even though the quest is no longer in the list, and do the Galaxy News Radio quest out of sequence.
naughty nighty!
I still haven't gone to the radio station and I'm at level 11. HOW DO YOU GET THERE?
yeah Im working towards that too. Just picked up the extra 20% from stimpacks perk and it's totally sweet. The repair skill is awesome, you can pick up several damaged weapons and slap them into one decent one and sell the bad boy for heaps of caps without taking up heaps of inventory space
I still haven't gone to the radio station and I'm at level 11. HOW DO YOU GET THERE?
Maybe you should stick to Wii... this might be too difficult for you
There are parts of DC that are only accessable via the metro tunnels. To get to GNR, you're gonna want to start in Friendship Heights.
I've discovered that I have a bad habit of switching to an armor that gives an extra 5% to repair or lockpick or whatever to perform a task and leave it on, then wonder why I'm losing health so quickly once a fight starts back up. :duh
I need to play this more. I played it quite a lot for about two weeks after lanch then just stopped. I prefer Oblivion though.

This moderate guidebook contains little of use to experienced wasteland survivors, but could be considered a decent beginner's guide.
The author's obvious passion inspires the reader to new considerations of how to form working settlements and harness old technology, but these high-minded ideals are often dragged down by dangerously misleading survival tips and rambling passages on denizens of the wastes.
Its detailed focus helps in some areas, but is simply confusing in others, especially when the content itself is questionable.

This moderate guidebook contains little of use to experienced wasteland survivors, but could be considered a decent beginner's guide.
The author's obvious passion inspires the reader to new considerations of how to form working settlements and harness old technology, but these high-minded ideals are often dragged down by dangerously misleading survival tips and rambling passages on denizens of the wastes.
Its detailed focus helps in some areas, but is simply confusing in others, especially when the content itself is questionable.
shouldn't have lied so much or skipped the optional sidequests

I was just about to go to the Library for Moira which I think is the last quest, but I made a quick joke about the book and she said she was quitting writing the book. :lol I got the Dream Crusher perk out of it at least.
holy shit Turd la Ferguson would be even better/funnier

Why? Does she give me a weapon? I'm not real worried about it.
Should you choose to destroy Megaton while this quest is active (The Power of the Atom), this quest will not be affected at all as Moira will survive as a ghoul and continue to give quest updates as normal. She can be found at the ruins initially, but moves to Underworld after a conversation with her, or if enough time passes, she will eventually move herself. While she is supposed to survive the blast, it is possible for her to die anyway. This may occur while she is hanging out by Megaton after the blast because she is killed by Raiders or while on her way to the Underground. Either way, when the Vault 101 player approaches Megaton a message will appear saying "Moria Brown has been killed and the Wasteland Survival Guide will never be written." At the same time a Quest message will appear announcing that you've failed the quest.

got this off steam, been playing it today

I thought I lost dogmeat for a second there :'(
ahahaa i killed Dogmeat right away. i can't have excess baggage holding me back on my quest for personal redemption...
it is an awesome gun. But I can't find anythign to fix it with and moria wants to charge me 2000 caps. FU BITCH! I'M GOING TO SHOVE YOUR BOOK UP YOUR ASS AND RAPE YOUR MOUTH BEFORE I PAY THAT!
that plasma gun or whatever you get from the replicated man quest is awesome, i got it then sold him out for the wired reflexes perk, best of both worlds :bow
I didn't find or get Fawkes at all. He is missable.

I did that but then immediately killed the dude looking for Harkness and his bodyguard.
Did that still count as betraying him? To Harkness I mean.
Fawkes won't join up with you if you're evil. Is there an equivalent to him for evil characters?
Nope, didn't happen to me. I walked that entire vault myself
glitching like hell. Now none of the minor characters have faces, only floating eyes, mouths, and hair. :'( reloading doesn't help. fuck.

finally did the tennpenny towers quest tonight, and got back the bill of rights. tenpenny towers is awesome for speech successes, i think had 5-6 just from trolling the residents about ghouls moving in
re: the quest about that dudes keysspoiler (click to show/hide)is there any way i can get tenpennys key without killing him? i stole some key off him but i dont think it's the right one. then he offered me 700 caps to kill the same dude. i only have tenpennys and dave's key left.[close]
I don't think it makes any difference if you kill Tennpenny. I did it, and nobody in the tower even seemed to notice he was gone.

DLC on the 27th :dur :dur :dur :hyper :hyper :elephant :elephant :hehe
I think I accidentally skipped some of the main quest because I wandered off to Rivet City and spoke to Doctor Li before going to the radio station... doh. Hopefully I can go and do the quest bits I missed.
Still waiting for a patch for that bitch at the Regulator ranch. I've attempted to get that lawbringer perk several times now and everytime I've gone out to that ranch I've been attacked by giant radscorpions or some other nonsense which then sends the leader of the regulators running off into the surrounding wasteland never to be seen again. I've got hundreds of fingers but no one to sell them to. :(
i did the same, its ok
just get to gnr (its can be tough to find) and you can finish the quests and get the achievements

speaking of paradise falls is there a way to use the mesmetron on flak without pissing off the whole of rivet city, as soon as I slap the collar on him its like the whole town knows my evil deed :(
lame, i was hoping I could usurp dave and have him go crazy or something.

So it's a good idea to grab some power armour at GNR? It's so heavy I didn't bother at first figuring it'd be easily available later.
OMG the food factory near Arlington is amazing
I might drag some back to my pad regardless and keep it in the cupboard so I can play dress ups.
Anyone else make use of the Tenpenny Room by using the balcony entrance? I can't bring myself to blow up Megaton, but I like the room.
i thought you couldn't get in?

If you go through Mr Tenpenny's suite out on the balcony and walk around the corner you can enter the empty suite from a door there. I've been using it like this, the only downside is that I can't decorate it of course.

Maybe the humans were right after all.
Also, Bethesda needs to add a satisfying conclusion to the Tenpenny Tower quest. Even if you diplomatically allow them to coexist, Roy Phillips will just kill all the humans anyway within 2 days, and if you ever kill Roy after finding out, it still counts as a karma loss, WTF.
Yeah I felt like this too, was really disappointed with it.
It leaves a bitter taste, but maybe that's what Bethseda wanted, not everything can work out how you want it in the Wastes.

I killed them all the first time, but I'm doing a second playthrough now as a charismatic ninja, so I bought my way in the second time. The guy in the box is still alive right now, but I guess that's because I'm doing the subtle breakout. Only problem for me is that I need to figure out some way to get him out without the guards killing him, and even if you stealth kill one, all the others instantly become permanently hostile. :-\

I consider Riley's Ranger armor to be the best in the game, so it depends. It's just a custom Brotherhood Outcast power armor, so if you're into Power Armor and don't have the other two major ones, it might be worth it.
I use the medic brotherhood armor because it talks to me and medicates me
I'm at the Oasis. I saved right in front of the heart. Should I:
Kill it
Stop the spread
Accelerate the spread
I've read about some armor you get. What did EB do?
Killing him gives you a perk that increases defence. Hardened Skin or something
Thanks for the heads up about Old Olney. I came up on it and told it me I discovered it, but I high tailed it away from there. I'll go back when I have some power armor.

I think the Grim Reaper perk is the best level 20 perk. I intend to grab it when I reach level 20 as well.
Yup, although I did the one which shows you where every location is on the map, then reloaded and got Grim Reaper.

Criticism #2: The ending isn’t very satisfying and much shorter than other “Fallout” endings
Howard: Based on the feedback I’ve seen, most people are pissed off that it ends, not the ‘ending’ itself. Maybe that’s one and the same, I don’t know. That’s another thing we’re changing in DLC3 [downloadable content #3, "Broken Steel"]. We really underestimated how many people would want to keep playing, so that’s probably the last time we’ll do something like that.
paradise falls was great. i agreed to get slaves for the gaurd, he gave me the mezzer, then i tried to mezz him (which didnt work) then proceeded to kill all of the slavers and free the slaves. im still making trips to haul back all the loot :lol
:rofl omg im going to try that. or ill mezz the the slavers
it's already out? can you buy it with Xbox points?
so uh how do you play the dlc if you've finished the game? load your last save?
hmm i should join #evilbore someday to see who's hanging out
cant wait for this dlc :hyper
played like a fiddle :lol :violin
Super linear FPS version of Fallout 3 without all the micro managing of ammo, health, items ect that makes the game so good. Its taken away completely. You revive ammo and health via stations that are almost like checkpoints I guess.
Its also complete with guards that duck and pop up from behind crates/boxes with really bad A.I. Just like in silo from Goldeneye 007 on N64. Three times guards actually ran up to me and keep running past to find crates behind me they could hide behind. they then comenced the ducking up and down routine. other times I flanked them and they just sat there doing nothing.
Just spent 800 ms points on the Operation: Anchorage DLC, and I can confirm that the DLC content requires update 1.1 to work.
So DON'T BUY THE DLC if your Fallout 3 is currently unpatchable EVEN IF THE CONTENT IS AVAILABLE IN THE MARKETPLACE OF YOUR REGION.
Sold my game off, not buying
TLR > Fallout 3
wtf, how do i secure the listening post? I've went through the fucking thing up and down and there is nobody in there. Is there a button I supposed to push or something? If the DLC mission is fucking glitched I am going to be pissed.

it's not a bug and not out of the blue. If you talked to one of the guys before the mission,spoiler (click to show/hide)he talks about how he wasn't happy about the situation and the Captain guy.

OXM's podcast recently uncovered a priceless gem of information for all Fallout 3 and achievement fans worldwide. Todd Howard, Fallout 3's Executive Producer stated that Fallout 3 will hit the 1350 mark after the March DLC pack titled "Broken Steel".
Howard states "the second one is going to have 4 more achievements worth 100 points, and the third one, right now, is going to have 6, worth 150 points." Howard continues to mention that it might not stop there, "350 points ... assuming these are the only ones we do."

At this point, I check play-asia's compatibility on everything before purchasing anything not specifically for my 360's specific region. Even if I see a good buy on the Asia version, I'm avoiding them for the converse of the reason you list above. The other day I picked up Midnight Club Los Angeles, only later realizing "Oh, this is the English-language Asia version" - before opening it, I checked Play-Asia and SURE ENOUGH it will not run on US machines. Because it was unopened, it was a pretty easy return.
playing it on pc
game is buggy and ugly
crashes all the time
I've shelved this now until the level cap + continue playing DLC comes through.
i haven't gotten really far to actually form an opinion on the game itself, but it hasn't left a good first impression on me.
I will say i think the controls suck and the graphics are unpleasing to my eyes.
I walked around Megaton for a bit. Got the quest to go to the super market and the dude who wants me to blow up the bomb. Went to the market and got attacked by dudes, dunno what to do about that. Then this little kid asked me to find his dad so I followed him and got killed by ants spewing fire. Thats when i quit.
I'm thinking the DLC is large enough that you wouldn't have to worry about doing all the other stuff in the main game.
wtf? Are we supposed to empathise with you?
So they will fix the main quest "ending" issue in the DLC?
wtf? Are we supposed to empathise with you?
i didn't realize the game would give me a quest this early on that requires me to have a lot of ammo. i only had a pistol and 5 bullets.
anyway, i finally got a few guns and ammo and started walking around. Made it to some school and killed all the people inside. The controls are really bad. Feels like I'm playing a budget FPS game from 8 years ago.
When i'm just walking around doing little tasks for people it's better, but the game still feels really janky.
So I got some weapons together and went to complete the mission for the little kid. I killed a bunch of fire ants and started looking for his father.
Then the game crashed again.
i can clearly see why people love this game so much. (http://xs536.xs.to/xs536/09060/t796.gif)

the means in which it get it to work isn't the problem, the problem is that i can't patch the game because of the means.
I'm about 10 hours in, Lvl 6 (slow, I know), and have had it freeze up on me twice, and generate Highly Fucking Unlikely "disc cannot be read" errors 4 times.
Anywho, I'm Lvl. 6 -- am I still supposed to be broke as hell and unable to purchase schematics for the Rock-It Launcher?

Yeah, I'm definitely enjoying that I have to work for everything. Bioshock, GTA4, Fable 2... they all start out with a lot of penny-pinching, and then one moment you realize you're Howard Hughes. Fallout has all kinds of ways of thrilling my "inner collection nut."
Moira's got the Rock-It Launcher schematics for like 1600 or something, though it lists the value at 1200. I thought she'd lower the price as I continued to do all the optional portions of the Wasteland Guide, above-and-beyond the main requirements. No...
How do I steal from a caravan guy? Pickpocket?

I like how you can't accumulate hundreds of thousands of caps - too many games just involve some grinding and then money is never an issue again for the entire game. I think I've only had about 5,000 max as well.
:o What am I looking at?
I just started playing this game and I've been getting slaughtered. It seems like everything takes a million hits to die, and I don't have enough ammo to spare. And when I do kill someone I barely get any XP, and barely any loot to sell for more ammo/health. I just want to explore and do some dialog trees.
How can the questing/traversing be any good if there is no challenge? You're playing the idiot card more and more Fistfull.

the experience of walking around the world is where the fun comes from. Going places, exploring, going through dialogue trees with the patrons, bartering, selling, etc etc all of that is really great.
Having to deal with the shitty FPS action or the equally shitty Vats crap detracts from that. So when you remove it, you're left with the fun. Sure sometimes you have to point your mouse on an enemy and hold the fire button down for a little bit, but that's a heck of a lot more fun than actually having to fight him.

I just started playing this game and I've been getting slaughtered.
I don't want to steal, I want to be a good character. It seems this game heavily punishes you for being good. Which really, is pretty realistic, but still! :lol
OH yeah, I got the radio transmission from Amata in 101 and did the mission there. I ended it with telling them they should stay and stop the hostilities. How different could I have done that?
What's the point of even playing the game if you're not even going to play it? Go read a book or something instead. smh

You cant its a GFW game its locked to your Gamertag and only one gamertag. I tried to get Roxy into the game and it woulldn't let her get achievements.
I finally helped put a stop to those fireants tonight. I somehow found the scientist dude even though I didn't explore a whole branch in the tunnels and he needed my help killing five hive queen guardians. I killed the fifth guardian with my final bullet. I got a wicked headshot on it. I don't know what I would have done if that hadn't killed it. I looked in the chamber of the fireant queen and saw what looked like a dude in a suit or a robot or something running around like a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow in there but then the queen starting spitting hunks of green shit at me so I ran back to the doctor and told him it was safe again without exploring further. Was anything of interest in that back chamber?
So then I went up to boy thinking it would be mission complete, but I told him I wouldn't feel right if I couldn't find him a home. So now I have to find some place called Rivet City and see if his cousin will take his worthless ass in. It really should have been a whole new quest and not a continuation of the fireants quest.

Wait, seriously? There's no way to use USED GFW games to bump your gamerscore? Is it a serial number/registration thing?
Eep. Man, I am never buying a GFW title; can't sell it, can't loan it, can't do anything with it...? Ssssssoooooks.
Shotguns really do make a huge difference. I found explosives a great complement to small guns so when I'm in real trouble I can run away like a girl (which I am actually) while dropping mines. 8)
There's a sweet shotgun you can get during the Nuka Cola Challenge (actually a cool hockey mask too which gives you more AP).
Is there a way to finish "strictly business" resulting in good karma? like can I get the peeps and then release them later?

I had been carrying a stupid amount of mines around FOREVER until I met my first group of super mutants on the way to Rivet City. Very little has been as satisfying as sending a few of those bitches into the air with the mines I'd laid along my intended retreat path. Now it seems smarter to just drop them as I bail... :-)
Dropping mines while running for your life and hearing them go off behind you is pretty damn satisfying. It's the main way I deal with those flippin' deathclaws.Is there a way to finish "strictly business" resulting in good karma? like can I get the peeps and then release them later?
I believe the only way is to finish it is with a negative karma hit. You could get Susan Lancaster killed during the Tenpenny Tower quest which would mean you don't have to enslave her and take the karma hit, but I don't think you can get around enslaving the other three because your only options are to enslave them or kill them yourself. I think you have to return at least one slave alive to get the experience.
Deathclaws are easy as pie if you build the dart gun. It makes them into demi's practically disabled from the waste down. Which mean shotgun time to the face!
You know you can fast travel, right? Unless you haven't found those spots yet?
I'm pretty close to hitting that level cap. I'm at level 17. I love how every time I start to feel like a dominating badass of the wastes this game puts me right back in my place. Fucking Enclave and their Deathclaw pets.
So I'm hanging around by the Lincoln Memorial waiting for Hannibal and his crew to show up so I can start kicking the shit out of slavers. If I go off and do some shit while waiting can I just show up later and they'll be there waiting around for me or will they try to storm the place without me getting themselves killed?
I tend to drag Clover with me for pack mule duties, I took the +50 carrying capacity perk, and I wear something light like leather armour. I carry about 55 units of stuff normally. That's the best I've come up with.
What I would give for another 100 units of capacity though. :'(
Oh yeah, as an update to my head of state thing, I got bored and went and killed all the slavers. Then I went back to my place in megaton and took a nice long nap. When I fast traveled back to the location everyone was there waiting for me, so it all worked out nicely.
I have a 200 unit capacity -- I assumed that was STR related, not arbitrary. I tend to run around with 170+ units of "must have" gear, so the +50 unit perk will probably be one I choose as well.
That 10-year-old kid from THOSE! just made the trip to Rivet City on his own (stunning, I nearly died, myself) and Cherry, that redhead banging the alcoholic Russian who doesn't want houseguests pulling iron, wanted to go to Rivet City as well but decided I was a cunt because I'd left her where she was for five days, after she'd been shacked up with the alcoholic for god knows how long -- apparently my lack of promptness has renewed her faith in drunken orgies.
I don't take drugs, eat stuff I find lying around, or drink from toilets.
I just take stimpacks and radaway.
God I'm such a square. :(
I'm going to wait and get all 3 DLC's at the same time so I can put the XP towards leveling up. I guess I'll keep screwing around doing sidequests and exploring until then.
What mission in the main quest is the point of no return? I think I have to go to a place called Lamplight to figure out how to get into an irradiated vault, but I haven't done any of the main quest in a long while for fear of getting to that point of no return. Still loving this game though, it's probably my favorite of this gen.
any word yet on when The Pitt is out?
Bethesda has taken steps to have the latest downloadable content for its hit RPG Fallout 3 to be removed from Xbox Live servers following complaints that the file was corrupted.
The Pitt, which was originally due for release today, has now been postponed until a new file can replace it.
The full Bethesda statement is as follows:
We are continuing to look into the issues people are experiencing with The Pitt for Xbox 360. As of now it looks like the file for the English version on Xbox Live was somehow corrupted. We are currently working with Microsoft to remove the existing file off of Live to prevent any further downloads. Our plan is to replace it with a new file as soon as possible. We hope to have another update for you shortly.

Reload the game, it's a techical hitch. You should get a broadcast within a minute.

I've done that several times and still nothing.
I'm on the PC version, by the way.
One of the most common problems with Operation: Anchorage failing to load is when Fallout 3 is installed on a drive OTHER than C. For example, Fallout 3 is installed to D:\Games\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3 on my computer.
I'm gonna guess they will do a major pack like Shivering Isles, although Shivering Isles + various DLC still only made Oblivion 1250.
Make a save prior to Level X, then get to a certain karma level (steal stuff, be good), get to Level X, reload your save, continue forward to the next achievement
Make a save prior to Level X, then get to a certain karma level (steal stuff, be good), get to Level X, reload your save, continue forward to the next achievement
Sounds like a pain in the ass. How long does it take to change your Karma like that?
Probably gonna start this shortly after the new DLC hits.
I'll get the PC version when its like $5pm me your live login id and password and I can get you all of the achievements in 5 minutes :P

If you're playing as a good character, it doesn't take long at all to go into negative territory. Just start killing innocent people.

That's what I'm doing although I completed Anchorage :(
so fucking excited to get to level 30 and finish the game AND be able to do stuff after the end :hyper
My game has been pretty much in a holdout pattern until this new DLC releases. When it does I'll pick up all 3 DLC at once and hop right back in and kick some wasteland ass.
That's what I'm doing although I completed Anchorage :(

How are they going to do that? What is the story format for this DLC, that it eschews the ending? Doesn't it just all happen prior to the final decisions in the game?

i don't know why i clicked that when i haven't finished the game yet :(
As a result of the level cap increase, you'll be facing much tougher enemies. The amount of experience required to reach the new levels is designed to keep you playing the game for much longer than the new main quest will last, which is why new side missions have also been included. You'll be traveling all over the Capital Wastelands again, though things may have now changed to reflect your earlier actions.
It only has the Pitt and Anchorage?
:duh x 1,000,000
cry moar, you knew it was exclusive
Dudes, I don't know anything about playing PC games. Saw the Fallout Trilogy at my local Target:
(http://media.dimensionplus.nl/autogen/74971-185.jpg)
I was wondering if its possible to play it on my laptop? My Dell meets or exceeds all the specs, so that's no problem. But, I don't know if you have to have a special graphics card or if the laptop already comes with a graphics card that is ok. My Dell is your basic off the shelf D600. Help?
Your laptop should run them fine, they arent intensive games
if you wait a week the dlc will come that moves the level cap to 30
and you can keep playing after the finish
Since you're using the PC verison you can just do the console code for adding achievements
Man, I was proud I finally found 100 locations after 30+ hours.
...then I read there are 163 discoverable locations in Fallout 3 pre-DLC. Wow. I wonder where the rest are hiding, lol.
Is there any easy way to collar Flak in Strictly Business without turning Rivet City against you? It's the only sidequest I have left (completed all the other achievement-level sidequests) and I've completed it on a separate save where Rivet city is now not usable for shopping and hanging out because I made Flak a slave, but I reset it and reloaded my main save before doing that as I still want to use Rivet city. But going into the DLC I want my character to have all subquests completed just for completions sake. I also need to get Red from Big Town but I don't care if I kill everyone in that town since the town sucks anyhow. I tried putting it on her when she is alone in her clinic but when she ran out to Paradise Falls she alerted the whole town and they tried to kill me :(
Man and I'm never going to hit those kill achievements. Those and the computer hacking are the only ones I'm not going to get (and neutral/bad karma ones since I stayed good all the time). I only have 130 creatures killed and 99 humans killed at this point 33 hours in with all sidequests done and the main plot right after the Enclave base. 300 = lolloololol. My terminal hacking is around 25-30, but I hate hacking so fucking much I wouldn't bother to hit 50. I wish your science level actually made the hacking easier like by giving you hints at a few letters in the password so you can get it all quick.if you wait a week the dlc will come that moves the level cap to 30
and you can keep playing after the finish
Yeah, I'll wait until it's out to do all 3 DLCs.
blew so many ghoul heads off with the Hunting Rifle :D
i still can't get this game to launch. fuck. i made a thread at the fallout 3 forum and so far no one as been able to figure it out.
One complaint I have is that I wish there were tons more quests that took advantage of all these locations on the map. The problem is for people like me, I just don't feel compelled to explore these ruined locations since the loot will just be the standard stuff that's everywhere else and the enemies will be the standard enemies. The locations look cool outside, but once inside there is nothing unique about them. I'd say counting all the quests and main story you probably only 50% of the locations in the game.My main complaint about FO3 is that more than half of the content is Oblivion style dungeons with nothing but random loot that you either kill kill kill or sneakkill sneakkill sneakkill to get.
At least if there is a quest story behind each one it gives something a little more to it and makes me want to explore it.

Bug #1: Saving Crash
Non-Persistant creatures\NPC's placed by mods will cause the game to crash upon trying to save after visiting and leaving the area where they are in.
Bug #2: Vanishing\Resetting Objects
Non-Persistant objects (statics ect) placed by mods will vanish upon loading them the second time. If you changed an already existing object in Fallout3.esm then it will reset to the default position (state, as it was in Fallout3.esm) upon a second loading.
Bug #3: Skin color on new NPC's defaults to "white" no matter what

get it now - you cant do any of the dlc until you finish the main story, therefore you cant get any of the achievements.
by the time you're there a fix should be out
UPDATE:: Bethesda has been in touch to update us on the PC version: "We're seeing the same error, which is a Games for Windows Live DRM Install error. Microsoft is working on fixing it, and we'll let everyone know once we've verified it."
The developer also said the following regarding unrelated Xbox 360 errors: "The Xbox Live servers don't seem to be fully synched yet with the additional achievements. This should fix itself automatically soon. People won't lose any achievements."
I got the grim reaper perk finally, shit is awesome!
I beat Fallout 1 (omg so good) and started playing Operation Anchorage.
WTF is this!?!!?
It's like Bethseda decided Fallout 3 hadn't raped the original enough

you are veering dangerously into nma territory there
i sincerely doubt that Black Isle will let Micro Forte make significant changes to the combat seeing as how successful fallout 2 has been
You could start a character now with 1 or something for intelligence or personality and bump it up by level 24. You'd be awesomely strong yet stupid :dur
STOP
theres another mission which involves going back to Vault 101. You can get it then
The only other missable one is in Raven Rock
I think I'm going to do all the achievements for this game. I only have one bobblehead left to find, and the only other achievements I need to do are the DLC quests, the last few Main Quests, and killing the Super Mutant Behemoths. So far I've only run into one Behemoth, and it was trapped in a cage at Evergreen Mills. :lol I thought I would have run into at least a few more throughout my travels.
Oh yeah, I guess I still have to do the alignment achievements too. That won't be as fun. :-\

Just got 1000/1000 on the base game's achievements. I found an awesome glitch online that makes the game think you have unlimited scrap metal, allowing you to get as much free money and xp as you want. Let me get the neutral and evil achievements I missed on my first playthrough in a matter of an hour.

I did it on 360, so yes.
Does killing Mr. Burke do anything as far as preventing getting certain achievements or any cool parts of the game?
I can't figure out what to do with him. I've already agreed to detonate the bomb, so whenever I walk up to it the only option is to detonate it. But, I don't want to. Telling the sheriff only gets him killed. Don't want that to happen. However, I'm guessing his house is probably the best in Megaton. I also figure that the empty house up near his is granted to you if you disarm the bomb.
Need some suggestions.

re: Mr Burke, I think I told the Sheriff, who then went to confront Mr Burke and they both ended up dead somehow.
DLC coming to PS3? I thought it was 360 exclusive?
A Fallout 3 Game of the Year edition will be available in October. It will include the original game plus all five add-ons for $59.99 for Xbox 360 and PS3, and $49.99 for PC.
Exactly what I was waiting for :D

There seems to be a game-breaking bug with the lawbringer perk on the 360 version. If you do choose it, do a manual save right before going to the Regulator HQ to sell the bad guy fingers.
The first time I went there, I saw the woman you sell the fingers to outside of the Regulator HQ crouching because the game script maybe thought it detected enemies. I go up to her and sell some fingers.
I play for a couple more hours, and then go back there a second time to sell some more fingers. She just runs out into the wasteland for no reason, and she's faster than me so it's impossible to catch up and talk to her. I keep loading up the last auto-save and the same thing happens no matter what I try. I play for a couple more hours, try waiting, sleeping, everything but she's just not there anymore. Maybe she's dead? It makes the perk useless.
Feckfeckfeck.
I had the worst time finishing Reilly's Rangers last night. Took over five hours because I got stuck in the geometry THREE times at the worst possible moments. Oh, and I got blown up by that crazy asshole in the alley near the Ranger Compound. :(
The car designs are based on the 1958 Ford Nucleon concept, which was designed to be powered by a mini nuclear reactor. Probably explains why they explode like that.

That's how it worked for Oblivion, so I'm assuming it'll be the same.
Oh, no, I'm sorry. I thought you meant install the original content on your hard drive and using the DLC disc (without swapping). There's no way Bethesda will let you do that.
Just a little report from the PS3 front: everything after the pre-DLC patch is busted. Freezes on me every now and then and (this might be my imagination) load times got worse.spoiler (click to show/hide)I should've just bought the extra DLC on the PC version instead of waiting :-\[close]

I never really bothered with a sneaky character. I liked to resolve issues by either speech or shootin'.
That one hockey mask is a lot better though (+25 AP). I remember hoarding all the ammo I could on my second playthrough and when I got Protectron's Graze (a laser shotgun basically) I had 3,000 energy cells. That gun would kill just about anything with one shot at close range.

I think I'll pick up the GOTY edition. I beat the game running straight through, so I've got all the expansions and a bunch of sidequests to go. Is there any specific order I should play the expansions? Just curious when to hit up Broken Steel.
Someone loan me the GOTY discs :)
That is LAMEWhat's lame is having 3 different achievements every few levels, depending on if you are evil, neutral or good. That's fucking distinguished mentally-challenged. You either have saves right before each and radically change the karma before triggering a level or you play through it 3 times just for that. Either way, distinguished mentally-challenged.
Who cheats to get achievements? Is anyone really gonna notice that you bumped up your gamer score?
Also, I cannot wait to finish MAss Effect so I can play this!
That is LAME
