I got kicked out of Vault 101 - for good this time. They all hate me now.

I should've gone all Columbine on their asses before I left.

I gotta deal with the vampires tonight

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #662 on:** November 08, 2008, 04:22:20 PM »

This game is wicked, but I've made all the lame choices so far. I'm going to have to replay it to get the cool stuff - like blowing up Megaton, flooding Vault 101, etc.

I just suck.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #663 on:** November 08, 2008, 05:44:01 PM »

Nothing wrong with not blowing up megaton. Theres nothing like brutal justice

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #664 on:** November 08, 2008, 05:50:25 PM »

Alright, that's it. God damnit. This game is fucked when it comes to the lawbringer perk. After the previous incident at the Regulator ranch, I bit the bullet and re-did 2 hrs worth of work by using a previous save. Thinking that it was just an isolated incident, I picked the lawbringer perk again and this time I was able to meet with the head of gang. Everything was fine and dandy until I decided to bring in my bag of fingers. I fast traveled to the ranch and lo and behold we had 1 sentry bot, 2 giant radscorpions, and an enclave dude having a battle right outside of the thing. I ran inside the ranch only to find everybody running into each other while the leader of this chicken shit outfit was cowering in the corner bent over with her hands over her head. I clicked on the bitch and the game said she was "fleeing". Right after that, she bolted out the fucking door and ran into the wasteland never to be seen again. Beautiful. I'm screwed once again.

Fuck the lawbringer perk and Bethesda's decision to place the Regulator ranch right in the middle of giant radscorpion fuck valley.

cool breeze · « **Reply #665 on:** November 08, 2008, 05:51:37 PM »

Being the law in the wasteland is like being the ultimate badass. People believe you to be the savior of the world because you kill bad guys.

And I think I remember Giant Radscorpions. I call them by their proper name now of -3 shotgun shells to the face.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #666 on:** November 08, 2008, 06:04:48 PM »

It's not that I have trouble taking down the things it's just that anything outside of that Regulator Ranch sends those idiots into a 3 alarm panic while their leader runs off into the wild. I thought these fuckers were supposed to be bad asses? The kid in Grayditch is more brave than these morons.

I tried talking with the people Paradise Falls to let the slaves go, but I could only get the kids free and that wasn't enough, so I killed everyone there except for the slaves.

The game agrees because it gave me a lot of good karma.

Playing through this again. I just tricked this girl into becoming a slave.

I don't usually buy a lot of DLC but I can't freakin' wait for whatever Bethesda has lined up for this one. I'll snatch up everything they put out.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #672 on:** November 08, 2008, 08:59:02 PM »

So what character arch should I start my first character as? In FO2 I went for charisma and luck, but I don't know how well that does in this one. Any tips?

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #673 on:** November 08, 2008, 11:14:26 PM »

I just did the Paradise Falls run myself and slaughtered everyone. Looks like Eulogy Jones was some kind of pederast. Brutal justice netted me awesome karma. I also disarmed the bomb and got a house. Sweet.

I just got entrance to Little Lamplight, but now I can't find the Mayor to get into Vault 87. Anyone know where the fuck this snot nosed asshole is?

cool breeze · « **Reply #674 on:** November 08, 2008, 11:47:38 PM »

you can get all the vault codes by going into the vault-tec headquarters. I did that and now I have free reign over EVERYTHING.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #675 on:** November 08, 2008, 11:50:28 PM »

You cannot get into Vault 87 unless the little kids raise the gate. You need the mayor to do this.

demi · « **Reply #676 on:** November 08, 2008, 11:51:13 PM »

Wrong, you can hack the backdoor if you talk to the other kid. Harold, or something.

Me > Willco

Unless you mean the entrance to Lamplight which means you have to save the kids at Paradise Falls

cool breeze · « **Reply #677 on:** November 08, 2008, 11:52:15 PM »

oh wait, I don't think I've been to 87. I went to 90-some, 101, and 112. I might head on down there after helping out BIG TOWN BECAUSE THINGS ARE SO BIG THERE

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #678 on:** November 09, 2008, 03:14:17 AM »

Fawkes is the coolest Super Mutant ever.

I just escaped the Enclave and got admitted as an honorary member of the Lyons Pride. How close am I to completing the main quest, demi?

demi · « **Reply #679 on:** November 09, 2008, 03:50:58 AM »

Very end of the game, make sure you save because you're at the point of no return

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #680 on:** November 09, 2008, 03:58:57 AM »

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.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #681 on:** November 09, 2008, 09:08:38 AM »

So you can beat the main quest in like 16 hours or so if you push ahead, I guess. I think I'll beat it and then replay with a new character and do all the cool sidequests. Unless, can you do sidequests after the end game?

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #682 on:** November 09, 2008, 09:51:30 AM »

The game just ends after you beat the main quest.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #683 on:** November 09, 2008, 10:08:22 AM »

I think I might just push ahead and beat it. Then replay it with my CE strategy guide to get all the good stuff.

But not better character animation.

Also, I picked up the Fallout 3 CE guide for just $23 off of DeepDiscount.

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.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #692 on:** November 09, 2008, 01:13:35 PM »

Fallout 3 is my game of the year, beating out tales of vesperia and saints row 2

cool breeze · « **Reply #693 on:** November 09, 2008, 01:20:06 PM »

I don't know if it's my goty or anything, but if it does get goty from all the media and shit like that, I would totally understand. I don't know exactly what my favorite game this year is considering two big games for me are coming out in the next two weeks (left 4 dead and Mirror's Edge).

And I thought Vesperia was the best RPG this year so far, but Fallout 3 destroys it. Unless Persona 4 turns out better than I expect, Fallout 3 will destroy that also.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #694 on:** November 09, 2008, 01:21:50 PM »

I wasnt that into Mirrors Edge, it felt like DICE made another RSC game, but with people. Left 4 Dead is largely a multiplayer affair and we know which way I fall on that issue.

But it's not fine when they jerk around and show very little emotion.

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.

Doesn't the CE have the gigantic zone map and the regular one does not? That's all I was trying to insinuate.

You get a zone map in the normal one too. the only difference is the cover

As for letting criminals go, I don't. If anyone is doing something horrible ill shoot them till their head comes off and then collect their finger. Fuck criminals.

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.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I killed the guy who wanted me to blow up Megaton, because he killed the mayor, and he's a fellow black man. So I took the mayors clothes and now i'm a cowboy. Also I think maybe blowing up Megaton would've been awesomeer.

Hooly shit doing riley's raiders late in the game after you've explored a lot of shit pays off instantly. 1600 caps for everything ive discovered so far. Bought My First Infirmary for my house in Megaton.

I also trained up in power armor and killed some enclave fucks. Im like The Batman of Megaton now.

Also, holy jesus Radscorps chased finger collecting lady out of her house and into the wilds. Hope they fix that bug, never gonna be able to turn a finger in again lol.

PS. Ghoul Mask is Awesome!

Gahh, I did TenPenny before Shoot Him in the Head, now I can't get the keys for the quest to get the best power armor in the game cause the ghoul I put in charge of tenpenny tower murdered tenpenny! Maybe the ghoul has the keys now?

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)

So wrong demi, so wrong.
1) It's T-51b armor
2) You can repair it with brotherhood of steel armor

Like I said before, seems fine on PS3, stupid 2-second-freeze-when-someone-signs-online-or-offline bug aside. This can be fixed by turning in-game notifications off in the meantime.

If you were set on getting it on 360, just wait.

cool breeze · « **Reply #715 on:** November 11, 2008, 07:19:39 AM »

The vaults are both the most interesting and most boring places in this game. There is alway ssome wacko experiment down there, but they all also have the same layout.

cool breeze · « **Reply #716 on:** November 11, 2008, 08:29:51 AM »

It's not that bad if only because it makes sense in the Fallout world. In Mass Effect it was like everyone shopped at the same bunker supply shop, but here the vaults all came from vault-tec and were mass produced in that style. I assumed they would be different if only because the vaults important to the story are different, but the side ones have the same basic layout to 101 and it is a bit annoying to go to through the same locations. They are worth checking out for the crazy experiments each has and the bobbleheads.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #717 on:** November 11, 2008, 09:25:45 AM »

Yeah I got a kick reading about some of the vaults at the Citadel. Like 87 for example was purposely fitted with an inadequate power supply, a doctor that was unaware that he had terminal cancer with approximately 40 more months to live, and a whole arsenal of weaponry. lol...poor bastards.

cool breeze · « **Reply #718 on:** November 11, 2008, 09:29:51 AM »

One of the vaults did cloning experiments and through the place you keep fighting the same person with the only difference being the number after his name. He also just repeatedly says his name like a pokemon.
