I did that quest hours ago, but it was still mislabbeled as all fuck ("We passed by the maintenance room on the third floor I think there's one there" oh, fuck you game. Thank you for that direction....THAT YOU CANT EVEN GET TO THE THIRD FLOOR BECAUSE THE FUCKING GAME BLOCKS THE THIRD FLOOR). I got enough batteries now. But still, fuck the game. I can't find the photo.

And the game isn't hard, it's just terrible and ridiculously un well communicated.

[MrAngryFace]

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?

[Great Rumbler]

I don't think I spent close to six hours TOTAL in tunnels and I found pretty much every DC location in the game, barring a couple that I didn't bother with.

The picture of the Lincoln Memorial is in the library area, tacked proudly above someone's desk.

[MrAngryFace]

even then once you get to each station, even overland, after that the only time you hit tunnels are for quests.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

I'm talking about Head of State where you need to find a photo for the slave.

And I know where the battery is, I did that quest (reilys) hours ago, but it was distinguished mentally-challenged because he said it was on the maintenance floor, not in a maintenance closet.

[MrAngryFace]

haha I dunno bout that, I understood exactly what he wanted

[TakingBackSunday]

So what attributes and skill sets do you guys usually go towards when you level up?  I was sick of not being able to hack shit, so I'm starting to boost my science skill more, but I want to be able to fuck some shit up, so I'm going to start bumping up heavy weapons.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

I just plan around my perks. Honestly skills outside of Science and Lockpicking and Charisma are pretty useless in this game.

[Joe Molotov]

Science, Lockpicking, and Speech were the first three I put a lot into. Once I got Science and Lockpicking up to 100 and a decent amount in Speech, then I started putting all my points into Small Arms, with a few into Repair and Explosives.

[MrAngryFace]

fuck hacking, I just made sure lockpick and medicine were at least 50, then dumped almost everything into speech small guns and energy weapons. Having energy weapons high makes late game soooooooooooooo easy

[MyNameIsMethodis]

yeah medicine is really helpfull also.

Also don't make the mistake I did and go half through the game without realizing that you can heal yourself with sinks.

[cool breeze]

I don't bother doing the hacking mini game or lock pick anymore.  I just F5 - force lock - F9 (if I failed) until it works.  For hacking I click random shit until it works, if it doesn't, I quick load.

[MrAngryFace]

you know for hacking you can fail three times, then power off the computer, then power it on again, and you get 4 tries again. Just never use that last one.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

I hate how doors become un lock pickable if you break it, like the ones where I need to get the lincoln rifle

[BlackMage]

the wasteland does crazy things to people

[Great Rumbler]

I hate how doors become un lock pickable if you break it, like the ones where I need to get the lincoln rifle

I've played the game for nearly 50 hours and never once broke a single lock.

[Don Flamenco]

wow, methodis is pissed

I might have to put this game off until after graduation...so I can sink into it for 24 hours a day for a couple days without anyone being able to say shit about it

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Aren't you special for not breaking locks.

[demi]

I hate how doors become un lock pickable if you break it, like the ones where I need to get the lincoln rifle

Well quit forcing it. Also, there's a perk that lets you re-pick. Cry moar, chubby chaser.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

I didn't know it permantly fucks it up, so I did that early before I knew anything you distinguished mentally-challenged fellow and I dont ufck fatties I fuck hotties

[BlackMage]

this game sucks. where's the boobs?

[cool breeze]

uh, you can undress anyone in this game by killing them and stripping them.

[BlackMage]

uh, you can undress anyone in this game by killing them and stripping them.

you are a sick human being.

[cool breeze]

Sick would be sticking my penis in their decapitated heads.  I only did that a few times.

i just masturbated so i find this game ok now

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Someone just offered me the first four seasons of King of Queens for this game. I might take it.

[demi]

Kevin James is pretty hot, imo, so I would do it

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Plus I perfer to laugh than be scared

[Joe Molotov]

Am I the only one that obsessively takes pictures of things dying? I have about three dozen screenshots of things in various states of dismemberment.

[TakingBackSunday]

The Fuckin' Ants sidequest was horrible

I didn't know the Queen Ant would follow you.  I wiped out the last Guardian Ant than turned around and JESUS FUCK THERES A 10 FOOT HIGH ANT SHITTING GREEN PUS AT ME FUUUUUUUUCK

I ran to the door so fast, so fast

[MrAngryFace]

I just used mines on the ants, dumb ants lulz. Ignored the queen, didnt try to fight her.

Joe: My favorite kills are with the plasma rifle. Collecting weapons from the green puddle where the enemy once stood = lol. God damn plasma rifle is win

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Mines the hunting rifle without a doubt. I love running up to their faces, activating VATS and blowing their head off in a bunch of chunks. Plus I have that one perk that makes them explode = orgy all over my face.

Too bad the game isn't as cool as it's battle system.

[demi]

when i first saw an enemy turn into goo (not even by my hand), i was all THAT DID NOT HAPPEN, NO WAY. OH MY GOD

[MrAngryFace]

Yeah Plasma Rifle is godly + 10. Granted I took perks specifically to boost gunplay and physical durability, but the whole last hour of the game was so easy. Especially with Fawkes

[demi]

embrace democracy... or be destroyed

[MrAngryFace]

hahah yeah I loved all the propaganda it was spewing. Awesome name for it too haha.

[MrAngryFace]

[Eel O'Brian]

my dogmeat was killed by ants 

[MrAngryFace]

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.

[Eel O'Brian]

i always make the npcs wait wait WAIT

dogmeat got away from me, though

he was pretty fragile, a couple of bites from that ant and he was gone 

[Robo]

I had to send Dogmeat back to wait at the vault, otherwise I would have killed him myself.  He's useful out on the field, but is just a serious pain in the ass when you're trying to maneuver around in small areas and corridors.  

[The Fake Shemp]

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.

You can befriend a Super Mutant.

[MrAngryFace]

I know, I was saying that was the exception.

[cool breeze]

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   

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Probably one of the best missions i've ever played in a game, i'll give FO3 that. The ending to that mission was classic.


Did any of you activate SPOILERS






the other robot?


Also which ones of you tricked the robot into thinking you're Thomas Jefferson 

[Eel O'Brian]

yeah, that was hilarious

[MrAngryFace]

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.

[Eel O'Brian]

i have yet to see a deathclaw in the wild

[MrAngryFace]

Ive seen two, most were in the northest

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

i have yet to see a deathclaw in the wild

What level are you?  The higher your level, the more you'll see 'em.

[Sysgen]

There's a shit load of them in and under Olney.  Ug.  Hate those things.

[Sysgen]

Speaking of AI partners.  Found Cherry  tonight, took her on some adventuring and then parked her in my bedroom in Megaton.

I don't know, but it has a weird name and is a unique weapon.

I'm trying to collect all the super weapons and just collected allt he Keller audio logs.  If my game didn't crash because Windows update popped up, I would have gone and gotten that gun that shoots EIGHT NUKES AT ONCE!

I also saw an Enclave helicopter coming to attack me.  I never saw that happen before, but I'm in such a high league that I have about 400 stim packs I never use and I only really use the Hunting Rifle.  I actually ran into that Centaur enemy just recently and was like "wow, 40 hours ago I was actually running away from you, now I waste one bullet"

[demi]

What level are you?  The higher your level, the more you'll see 'em.

Not really true, they're found more in the northern areas of the game than anywhere else.

Yeah I know they're up there but when I reached level 18-20 I started running into them every now and again in the southern region too.  I never saw them down there before when I was lower level but maybe that was just my experience.

[GilloD]

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).

Dude. The Lincoln photo is giant 10x10 GLOWING SHEET

[MyNameIsMethodis]

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.

[MrAngryFace]

Living in constant denial must be tragic.

[Eric P]

i now have lincoln's repeater.  i will go and explore under there hoping to get that woman's goddamn nuka cola quantum

[Robo]

I keep "accidentally" solving quests by helping people, boosting my karma, but I murder everyone I meet out on the plains because I'm a greedy poor and I killed everyone in Megaton who gave me lip (gonna blow it up anyway).  So what am I missing out on by being Neutral status all the time?  I must be missing out on all of the bonuses you get from swaying either way.

Or, let me put it another way, since I know what I'd like to be: is there anyone I SHOULDN'T kill if I want good armor/weapons/rewards?  Who needs to live so I can procure a house?  And is there always an evil way to solve quests and still complete them?
