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.

Y'see, I just can't parse that one, either. Something can be either scary OR boring, but not both, right? Unless suspense makes you bored, in which case your brain may be wired differently than normal humans. Or maybe it's the result of 7 years of never having the color-coded Threat Level System go beneath "Elevated" to either of its lower two ranks.

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.

Yeah, I can see that. The flashlight they give you is so fucking pathetic.

It's more of a lantern than a flashlight.

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.

Yeah did the same thing. In fact I think that's HOW you have to kill the behemoth.

I did it like 10 feet away and all of my limbs were crippled $:-\$

lol, I just stood up behind the sand bags while he fought the BOS dudes.

I'm just glad to be fighting ghouls and mutants. At least their corpses have something worthwhile for loot.

I keep reading about the perks and paths and am always melancholy that the whole FALLOUT franchise is based on GURPS.

I NEVER used the pipboy flashlight, it never gets dark enough to need it honestly

I always use the pipboy flashlight because I'm scared of the dark.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #914 on:** November 13, 2008, 11:32:30 AM »

I dont even know what key uses it on the pc

Truth be told I got through most of the more intense areas of the game by having my pipboy tuned into Galaxy News Radio, I love the songs and the radio dramas. Im tired of hearing about grayditch tho. I saved that place, shut up Three Dog.

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 thought that thing was awesome, and was a really cool scripted sequence they did in an otherwise awesomely free form game.

What items are we talking about? I didnt hunt tunnels for many quest items iirc.

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.

cool breeze · « **Reply #924 on:** November 13, 2008, 01:32:44 PM »

The only place in the game that really required the flashlight for me was Deathclaw cave. It's almost pitch dark and the fuckers jump out at you from all sorts of places.

And the music is so awesome. I have one save game that loads up just as "You know you can get hurt that way, Daniel?" starts up.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #925 on:** November 13, 2008, 02:38:38 PM »

I almost use the sad flashlight all the time, because the game is beyond dark on SDTV's for some reason.

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

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #927 on:** November 13, 2008, 03:10:46 PM »

You just need alot of patience to do that fucking dish quest because it's literally an hour of tunnel crawling.

:-\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.

You are like the worst gamer I've seen on this board.

immersive game too immersive noes!

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #934 on:** November 13, 2008, 04:53:04 PM »

Why? Because Bethesda couldn't program the game correctly so that you don't have to exploit it to do a quest? :/.

Also that was a let down at the Jefferson Memorial. Although guess i'm used to it with this game.

demi · « **Reply #935 on:** November 13, 2008, 04:53:57 PM »

WTF do you mean exploit? The poster is RIGHT THERE, the game even SHOWS YOU - go to LOCAL MAP.

You are ridiculous. I would destroy you at Guitar Hero, I stand firm you are a fake, and nothing but.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #936 on:** November 13, 2008, 04:55:44 PM »

No you distinguished mentally-challenged fellow, in order to get to the picture/poster you have to get to that back room, but if you break the lock (which many will do) there's no other way to get in the back rooms unless you EXPLOIT THE FUCKING GAME by ledge jumping.

demi · « **Reply #937 on:** November 13, 2008, 04:58:14 PM »

OR GET THE PERK THAT LETS YOU REPICK

OH DEAR

Don't blame the game because YOU fucked up, distinguished mentally-challenged fellow.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #938 on:** November 13, 2008, 05:00:35 PM »

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.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #939 on:** November 13, 2008, 05:02:50 PM »

Eric P · « **Reply #943 on:** November 13, 2008, 05:22:58 PM »

the tunnels are repetitive, but made better by the fact that you can look on the pip and see where you should be going exactly.

thankfully you only have to do them once. because if you're smart you'll venture out of the tunnels to snag the outside locations for quick travel

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #944 on:** November 13, 2008, 05:26:45 PM »

hell, half the time you dont have to use tunnels to explore new stations. The tunnels are such a small portion of the game. And repetitive tunnels? What do you expect? Go to any city with a subway system, they wouldnt decorate a subway tunnel all chinese cause it runs under china town. Tunnels all look the same because tunnels ultimately exist to serve a single function. What do you expect?

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #945 on:** November 13, 2008, 05:33:11 PM »

hannibal doesn't appear at the memorial, he appears at the subway entrance near the memorial. you have to go talk to him so that he knows the coast is clear. otherwise you will wait forever. it is not a bug, it is a part of the storyline.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #946 on:** November 13, 2008, 05:35:15 PM »

IT takes him 5 days to walk to that tunnel though, where in the quest he says "in under a hour".

That's where my problem comes in.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #947 on:** November 13, 2008, 05:39:23 PM »

just wait several times, he'll be there

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #948 on:** November 13, 2008, 05:40:18 PM »

That's what I did, but it's still unacceptable for the game to flat out lie multiple times.

demi · « **Reply #949 on:** November 13, 2008, 05:40:41 PM »

I had the same problem, but instead of bitching on a message board (where I would be proven wrong time and time again), I did the unfathomable - I did other quests! Inconceivable!

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #950 on:** November 13, 2008, 05:43:18 PM »

What if you don't have any other quests like myself?

And what's wrong with talking about my complaints on a message board? Should we only talk about how great something is in threads now?

I'm not calling you all out for liking it, i'm just expressing my frustrations and getting takin to task for no reason but nerd rage and fanboyism.

demi · « **Reply #951 on:** November 13, 2008, 05:44:35 PM »

I just hate stupid people, it kind of irks me. I mean, don't you? Don't you just want to choke the life out of them and stop being a drain to society? Kill or be killed. The strong survive.

Also - quests. Get some. They're out there. Look. Read a FAQ, something.

yes, dude, it has bugs, we get that, there's your affirmation

there's a lot of shit going on and sometimes things get janky, this is why you save often, especially before hacking/lockpicking
