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

i love the blissful ignorance of an rpg character

"don't go there. it's evil!"

"sweet. i'm on my way"

i had that aging grace jones lookalike as backup when i decimated paradise falls, but she's back at the citadel now

she tends to warn you when shit is about to go down, and i like to be surprised, especially in a lovecraftian homage

demi · « **Reply #965 on:** November 13, 2008, 06:20:36 PM »

Dunwich has a cool little mini-story involved if you collect the various audio tapes. You see the shocking twist at the very end, and you get good karma for it too!

Fallout 3 rocks. Even myself, a confirmed Bethesda hater and early non-fan, have been converted. This only confirms that Methodis is the worst gamer ever.

Where is Dunwich and Paradise located?

At the end of Fallout 3 you discover that the world you've been exploring is actually in a big tunnel

Okay just did a certain mission and holy fuck this game

spoiler (click to show/hide)

has some seriously awesome missions. The GECK mission is prob one of my favorite missions ever in a game, and it's defintly my second favorite black and white video game scene ever, right next to the amazing Steamboat Willie part in KH2. Too bad FO3 couldn't be as awesome as this mission. What was the point of the rolling pin btw? I kept failing because I killed that one girl (not betty, the one you have to make it an accident) with it, or I tried to hit betty and she just blew me up.

People said Vault 112 was supposed to be scary but I thougnht it was amazing. Too bad you don't get to experience the other GECKS

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.

They did code a work-around. It's called putting points into lock picking and not being a doofus and trying to force all the locks.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #978 on:** November 13, 2008, 09:18:56 PM »

I'm almost to the museum. Low on meds and ammo that is worth a shit. :'(

Pray for me as I dive back in.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #980 on:** November 13, 2008, 09:23:04 PM »

take the scrounger perk as soon as it's available, ignore the one that gives you more bottlecaps

you'll find a lot more ammo for (surprise) guns you are carrying, and the excess can be sold for bottlecaps

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #981 on:** November 13, 2008, 09:43:02 PM »

I never did the scrounger perk, LULZ

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #982 on:** November 13, 2008, 09:44:37 PM »

i have so much ammo i just randomly shoot at shit all the time because i will never waste it all away

i was walking around with over 1000 rounds of minigun ammo and i didn't even have the gun with me

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #983 on:** November 13, 2008, 09:49:07 PM »

Yeah I have shit loads of ammo.

Here's the perks I took IIRC:
*Mister Sandman
*Mysterious Stranger
*The Epxerience One
*The extra point in that anagram skill thing
*The extra level up
And a bunch of others. Still waiting for Mysterious Stranger to work, heard it's awesome.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #984 on:** November 13, 2008, 09:51:14 PM »

i took it for laughs and have only seen him once, on some nobody raider

fucker never shows up when two yau gaui (sp?) are slapping my ass around

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #985 on:** November 13, 2008, 09:59:46 PM »

What's he look like? Or should I wait for the surprise?

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #986 on:** November 13, 2008, 10:00:13 PM »

he looks sort of like inspector gadget

Brehvolution · « **Reply #987 on:** November 13, 2008, 11:38:57 PM »

I done good with 3 dog, now to rivet city.

I have shit for ammo with no place to buy any. :'(

The closest place I can quick travel to is the Washington memorial, but outside that are a bunch of mutants which I pump more ammo in than I get out. :'(
I'll try again tomorrow. $:-\$

hit level 20. everything is really easy to tear through so i kind of lack incentive to keep going with this character.

was thinking of starting over with a new one just to do the main quest. have this one be my "explore everything" character

How is that a game-breaking bug, you don't need partners to play the game. Quit being such a whiner.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #992 on:** November 14, 2008, 10:32:04 AM »

It prevents the game from allowing me to do something that was advertised. That is game breaking and false advertising.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #993 on:** November 14, 2008, 11:00:28 AM »

Why is there no ammo in the armory?

Installing now

Mupepe · « **Reply #995 on:** November 14, 2008, 01:55:33 PM »

what the fuck? can someone help?

it keeps crashing on bootup. I get the black screen and then Vista tells me that fallout 3 has stopped responding. fuck.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #996 on:** November 14, 2008, 02:04:14 PM »

there's a patch, if you havent grabbed it. I had fallout 3 running on Vista 64, and while it crashed from time to time, it never crashed on startup

Mupepe · « **Reply #997 on:** November 14, 2008, 02:06:17 PM »

yeah, just installed the patch. still crashes.

Just updated my videocard drivers. still crashes

this is the first game I've decided to get on PC instead of console in soooo long and this is what happens :'(

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #998 on:** November 14, 2008, 02:08:09 PM »

The fallout patch crashes for me and the windows live patch crashes for me too.

On the bright side, I hear this patch doesn't do such a good job of fixing things and shouldn't be downloaded.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #999 on:** November 14, 2008, 02:09:01 PM »

I dunno, I ran with the latest patch my whole game

Mupepe · « **Reply #1000 on:** November 14, 2008, 02:16:39 PM »

i've been looking forward to this all morning. damn damn damn :'(

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #1001 on:** November 14, 2008, 02:21:52 PM »

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling? That's usually solved my boot crashes...

Mupepe · « **Reply #1002 on:** November 14, 2008, 02:23:30 PM »

I'll try that now. Thanks.

right click the startup icon > properties > compatability tab

Mupepe · « **Reply #1007 on:** November 14, 2008, 03:17:06 PM »

Cool thanks. I'll try that. I got mad and uninstalled it after it didnt work so reinstalling... again :p

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. $:-\$

Mupepe · « **Reply #1010 on:** November 14, 2008, 03:37:17 PM »

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??? :'(

Just walk to Rivet City. It's the best option. It seems you're falling into the same thing that happened to me; no ammo and health except for Megaton during that shitty sewer climb. It's extremely frustrating. Once I got to Rivet though, the game got a little better because it's closer and not full of BS.

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.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #1015 on:** November 14, 2008, 03:50:21 PM »

Thanks methodis. I was talking with a co-worker who said he found the path south along the river then east to the city was easier than going through the wastes straight south from the museum.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #1016 on:** November 14, 2008, 03:55:01 PM »

I forgot how I got there, but it was easy for some reason. I think I took the river.
