that's very tempting. I care less about the RPG and combat part than the exploration, so I may do that tonight.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #61 on:** August 04, 2009, 08:42:09 PM »

It has no effect in game apparently.

I love Fallout 3's leveling system but sometimes the thought that you put into it in order to maximise everything can be a real pain.

You have to cheat in this game?

Get real scrubs... you can also get the speech achievement by doing the little loophole at Big Town or whatever.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #64 on:** August 04, 2009, 09:04:53 PM »

the only loophole i will use is the scrap metal one for leveling quick with certain karma.

i got the speech one using my awesome power of speech. 100% success is awesome

Bildi · « **Reply #65 on:** August 04, 2009, 09:20:10 PM »

I just realised that presumably when you take raise SPECIALS to 9 perk, it also increases the corresponding skills.

That's another thing I've got to think about now and allow for. Crap.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #66 on:** August 04, 2009, 09:20:52 PM »

Okay, I just tested it to see if increasing my points that way has any effect in-game and it DOES NOT. I doubled my barter skill from 49-100 and moira still bought the items at the exact same prices.

It probably breaks the game so don't do it.

not all of us have 24 hours a day to work on our achievement scores, brah. I'd rather get a little overpowered and see more of the game in a shorter time than go at the snail's pace the game normally goes by.

By the time you get to that level (28-30) you should have close to 100 in every skill anyway

Bildi · « **Reply #70 on:** August 04, 2009, 11:24:55 PM »

That's true. I've been meaning to get out my calculator and check that. It should be OK since I did whatever it was early in the game that gives you lots of skill points every time you level up.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #71 on:** August 04, 2009, 11:39:33 PM »

On level 27 I have Big Guns at 88, Barter at 41, Unarmed at 25 or something and everthing else is 100. I think, I should check but it's something like that.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #72 on:** August 04, 2009, 11:45:39 PM »

Big Guns is

. Flame Thrower + Pyromaniac = PWNT

brawndolicious · « **Reply #73 on:** August 05, 2009, 12:02:01 AM »

It's theoretically possible to get everything up to 100 if you have 40 points in every skill. 10 points from the skill bobblehead and there's 25 of each skill book so if you have the comprehension perk, that's 50 points.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #74 on:** August 05, 2009, 12:49:00 AM »

Dont forget the perk that gives you +3 points per level, which I think you get at level 3.

Bildi · « **Reply #75 on:** August 05, 2009, 02:06:33 AM »

And a higher Intelligence gives more skill points. I think I get 23 at each level up.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #76 on:** August 05, 2009, 09:56:11 AM »

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

just found out how awesome the telsa cannon is and finished broken steel. FUCKING GOTY

tiesto · « **Reply #77 on:** August 05, 2009, 10:21:04 AM »

Played a bit of Mothership Zeta, so far it's pretty snore-worthy... linear corridors, constant combat, no interesting choices to make or any exploration. Not a patch on Point Lookout, though maybe I am getting burned out on this game... 80 hours of gameplay will do that to ya.

One funny thing in Mothership Zeta:

meeting a cryogenically-frozen samurai who speaks to you in Japanese (with accompanying romanji), which your character can't understand

At Jury St Metro Station (NE of Evergreen Mills) I found a convenience store where with a bunch of boxes set up like dominoes that sets off this chain reaction. You can see it at 5:54 in this vid.

Someone had a bit of fun making that I suspect.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #80 on:** August 06, 2009, 10:57:01 PM »

done. hmm, been playing this so much lately that I'm not in the mood to tackle the DLC. Pretty fucking good game though.

Bildi · « **Reply #81 on:** August 09, 2009, 07:28:52 PM »

I'm nearly through Anchorage. I'm enjoying it, although if I were already at Level 30 it'd probably feel like a bit of a waste.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #82 on:** August 15, 2009, 04:15:01 PM »

I've been playing through it again quickly. I'm at level 17 and I'm on the last two main line quests.

Should I just go ahead and buy Broken Steel now? How are the new side quests displayed? Are they just hidden around the waste?

I probably will skip Operation Anchorage as I don't really care to play a mostly combat focused expansion. The other two will get bought though

Operation Anchorage is great since you get two very awesome items from it (Gauss Rifle and Chinese Stealth Suit).

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #84 on:** August 15, 2009, 06:29:40 PM »

meh. i prefer playing with the Regulator duster and sniper rifle and god mode

Yes, you can max out your skills if you're a stat-whore. Otherwise it's kind of useless actually. The new perks mostly are crappy, I only used two of them (puppies and nuclear anomaly).

The biggest problem is that once you complete all the quests, there's absolutely nothing to do but wander looking for loot. The overworld has some interesting easter eggs but it's pretty boring if you're just wandering around.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #86 on:** August 16, 2009, 01:28:13 AM »

I grabbed Broken Steel. Lame.

Ending was just "throw bunch of dudes at you LOL!!" wtf. shit was terrible.

I dunno bout getting the other packs now, tbh. The Pitt looks interesting due to the setting, Point Outlook I don't really know anything about, Mothership Zeta I'll probably skip as well.

Bildi · « **Reply #87 on:** August 16, 2009, 07:44:22 PM »

I've been running around with the Chinese Stealth Suit from Anchorage and it's awesome. I can walk right in front of people and they have no idea I'm there, and I can even hide again once 'Danger' is displayed.

I think DLC is better if you are only part way through the main game. Otherwise you get cool loot and then have nothing to do with it.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #88 on:** August 16, 2009, 08:21:38 PM »

That's why I'm pretty excited about playing the GOTY edition with all of it integrated in. By the time it comes out, it will have been more than half a year since I played the game at all and I'll definitely be ready to give it at least another good run through or two.

BRING ON NEW VEGAS AND FALLOUT 4!

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #89 on:** August 22, 2009, 04:21:48 PM »

just got Point Outlook.

it's really good. SO much better than Broken Steel.

Is The Pitt similar? main quest but a new area to explore?

I haven't played Point Lookout yet, but I don't think The Pitt is quite as big. It's mainly just a few urban sectors with a some outlying areas [the leadup to the city and some dungeons]. It took me about four or fives hours to do most of the stuff.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #93 on:** August 22, 2009, 09:57:05 PM »

two quests in Point Outlook: Velvet Curtain and The Dark Heart of Blackhall.

AWESOME. probably the best quests in this entire game. They aren't focused on combat but rather focused on exploring. I wish the game had more quests like that.

That was the most fun I've playing the game. So good.
