The definitive Fallout 3 thread

[PopeDragunov]

So who else is an asshole and requested a day off tomorrow?

:D

I'm headin' down the hill to pick up my copy at around 7:00 AM.

[fork]

fucking pumped for this. should be here from gogamer by friday. i have always been a huge proponent for the post nuclear apocalypse lifestyle and cant wait to be a total badass in the wastelands. o man, i'm going to be so sweet and get all the hott mutated babes with my rugged good looks :lincoln:

[PopeDragunov]

I can't wait to ressurect Gritch in fallout 3.

High char, high perc, low endurance, decent agi.

With the new "perk/trait every lvl" thing you can add a single stat every level if you want to, going to try and bump his luck a few stat points and I'll be able to play my Fast Shot/Finesse crit build pistolero again.

God damn, I should go to sleep RIGHT NOW. 12 HOURS AWAY, BABY.

Dead Amazon:

WHY THE FUCK DOES IT SAY NOT SHIPPED YET AND EXPECTED DELIVERY DATE OF 10-28-2008.

LOVE,
I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW.

(i may be over reacting. Of course, I may have paid 15 fucking dollar S&H as well, the cuntsocks.)

[PopeDragunov]

Yeah I did that with GTA4 and never again am I ordering from amazon when something isnt released yet.

I dont even have a pre-order Im just going into the gamestop early. Yay for hawaii.

[BlindSite]

Yeah, I'm fucked. If I buy it for xbox 360 I gotta wait 2 weeks for the cunts to fix the 3/4 red ring error.

I could buy it for PC but I meet the minimum not recommended requirements and I really don't want jerky screens when I'm blowing cunts to pieces.

So I'm sort of boned until I decide to either buy a new graphics card, install it myself (which I got fuck all idea how to do) or wait till my 360 comes back.

[Noirceur]

Video cards are really not that difficult to install, BS. Probably the easiest thing to install.

[Splitlip]

Open box, read manual.

[Noirceur]

So what's this game all about? Looks like a cross between a FPS and an RPG. I may rent it for xbox.

??? I preordered the PC collectors edition on Amazon and release-date shipping was $6. even if I dont get it until tomorrow its still cheaper than the tax I would have payed in a store.

[Vatek]

Picking it up tonight. :D

WTB Bozar.

[Tuulos]

I've only once preordered a game. I received it a month after the release date and it wasn't even sold out anywhere.

[BAS]

so the email from amazon says there was a "delay" and its shipping today (overnighted). meh whatever

[Matt]

i got it. the special edition at best buy. beware, your bobble head might be broken, can be fixed with super glue.
i'm launching the game now, brb in 12 hours.

[HarryB]

My room mate bought it for the 360 and I plan on getting it for the PC. Shooting people in the face and watching their head rip off is hillarious.

[Splitlip]

Oh good, now amazon shows no recent orders, no shipping orders, no pending orders, and my credit card has been charged.
Time to go fuckin light someone up.

[Matt]

fuck. i need to go to class.
this is epic.

[Noirceur]

Would you suggest getting it for 360 or the PC? My PC can handle it, I'm sure. But there are some games that are clearly designed for consoles and some clearly designed for the PC.

[Matt]

this is designed for both, imo.
the pc version supports a 360 controller for controls, but I feel it runs well on a PC.



Edit:
There's cheats, btw.
Pull down console (~), enter
"tgm" (God mode)
"player.additem 000000F <number>" (Add # of Bottlecaps)
"modpca <attribute> <number>" (Add indicated amount of points to your Special stats)
'modpcs <skill name> <number>" (Add indicated amount of points to your skills)

The bottlecaps one seems useful, but everything else is sorta meh. I don't think this game warrants a god mode, then again I haven't left Megaton.

[SWATJester_os]

YES! BOTTLECAPS. We don't need money dollars anymore.

[Matt]

yeah, i think its sorta cool how whenever you drink a a nuka-cola you get money.

drink cola. get bottle caps.

[PopeDragunov]

I keep getting my anus reamed by Nukalurks.

Also - Got into an encounter with a wastelander and a wild dog. Wild dog jumped at my face, I crouched and he missed, I activated VATS and slow-motion blew his head off with a shotgun in mid air, little doggy bits raining down on me as I shot the raider chick in the leg and blew it off.

God damn, I love this game.

[Matt]

god mode, clearly.

[PopeDragunov]

Spoilers.

I made the mistake of attacking a doctor's caravan outside of Megaton, the fucker pulled an SMG on me and busted a load of caps in my cracka ass.

Reloaded the game, used grenades instead, and the bitch dropped some schematics to turn a nuka-cola bottle into a grenade.

Now the drifter guy in megaton is my home-boy because I'm an evil bitch. Two of us walking around and murdering/stealing our asses off.

Oh, the sheriff has a chinese assault rifle. I killed his ass and took it, and his coat too. There's a new sheriff in town, bitches, and his name is PopeDragunov.

e- I just found a supermutant camp near grey-whatever. They were fighting what appears to be chinese mercenaries and a helper-bot thing, and had a bunch of people in a bloody, fucked up, body-part-strewn barbed-wire cage. Took like 20 rounds from my pistol (I fucking love the 10mm in this game) to down the mutant, but he was a bit busy fighting the chinese dude.

He dropped a fucking minigun.

I have a fucking minigun.

I'm trying to go all evil-mcdudeguy but its fucking HARD. There was this woman just hogtied on the ground near the corpse of who I assume was her boyfriend. I had the choice to let her go or leave her to starve, and I decided to let her go. She was thankful and offered to give me some supplies she had stashed in her cooch or whatever, and I told her she needed them more than I did. Ran off happily over a hill, and right into the middle of a fucking raider camp.

Oh, how the blood did flow on that raider camp. Oh, the smiting I did. FUCKERS.

[theboywithnoeyes]

Installinating Commencify

[BlindSite]

I'm gonna go with the 360 version since I want the full graphical power that my PC Cannot give. Gotta wait till the 31st to buy it and GOD KNOWS HOW LONG TO GET BACK MY 360 FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

[PopeDragunov]

BTW guys, to reroll easy, same as Oblivion - save before you leave the opening level. You CANNOT get out of that menu that asks you to finalize your shit, so save before the door out of the vault.

[SinistralRifleman]

Sounds like I need this game. I am currently lacking purpose in my life.

[Pltcl Sniper]

omg this game is so fucking awesome, I havent been able to crit any one in VATS yet though :-\, btw any one notice the name Lucien Vantz???? I saw that and couldnt help but smile.

[HarryB]

Fuckers... I have to wait till I'm off work to start downloading.

My buddy shot the very first vault SWAT guy in the face with the starter pistol and ripped off his head. He then took the guys helmet and put it on and ran off. I laughed.

[Matt]

my game crashed for some reason. right as i was about to don some power armor.
:(
oh well, I guess I needed a break anyways.

[SWATJester_os]

Fucking Amazon's release day shipping won't come until tomorrow.

SCIENCE!

The energy pistol is really broken, I can get 4 or 5 shots out of a single VATS bar, it does really nice damage, and has 30 rounds. Reloads come slow, but with such nice accuracy and damage, reloading is for pussies.

Ammo is plentiful. Science for hacking. Repair to keep the guns in tip-top shape. I cannot WAIT to see what the energy and plasma rifle in FO3 look like. Jesus CHRISTH.

[Matt]

yeah, i was sorta worried about finding ammo. then i went to the super-market thingy. once i started exploring for reals ammo was everywhere.

[Freshmeat.Popsicle]

I'm installing it now. :D

.......much jizzing expected

[SWATJester_os]

Oh my god. My neighborhood is in this game (TenleyTown). And my old neighborhood is also in the game (Dupont Circle).

[PopeDragunov]

New char officially whips all sorts of monkey ass.

Shit is dying HARD.

And yeah the supermart is hilarious, I just kept to the left and did a wide circle and when I found the ammo room and the medicine room I was like $$$$$$$$$$$

[Anti-Llama]

is the humor still intact from fallout 1 and 2?

[PopeDragunov]

I think it is, some of the lines that Moria or whatever says are classic.

And in BigTown, this town under siege by supermutants, lol.

Do you have any shops here?
"No. The only thing we do here is die, and suck."

[theboywithnoeyes]

ALL MY DICKS ARE CUMMMMMMMINGGGGGGGcaps

[PopeDragunov]

Well shit, I've managed to fuck up my save by accidentally killing the bartender and running away. Saved out the door, right where Jericho is, and he blows my head off with a shotgun.

GodDAMNIT

[HarryB]

Do you change the resolution in game? I got up to the title screen and the resolution is unbelievably small.

[PopeDragunov]

For what 360 you need to do that in the dashboard.

[Reveller]

I wish I didn't have to wait till next Friday to buy this, fucking misaligned paydays

[PopeDragunov]

Lvl 5 and I just found dogmeat. Carrying around a 10mm, a silenced 10mm (from Burke), a combat shotgun I pilfered off a raider, and a sniper rifle from Arkansas*

*Arkansas is an npc, not the state.

When you are given the quest to go to Minefield, you have to go to the center of a mine-encrusted town. I worked my way slowly into the middle, disarming the mines, and I'd invariably die from some HUGE explosion. I thought maybe dust or a rock was hitting a mine and setting off a chain reaction.

Not quite.

This crazy fuck named Arkansas camps up on top of this ruined 3 story building, and fires shots out of a sniper rifle from long distance, so you don;t hear the shot ring out. He aims for car engines. Theyre nuclear cars, so they catch fire and then BOOOOOOM. Which of course kills you and sets off mines nearby as well.

It took me 3 deaths to realize the fuck was shooting my cars nearby, so I eventually shot the cars before I got to them to neuter his tactic. Then I couldnt find the son of a bitch for a while, and ended up doing a bullshit 2% chance shot, in Sneak, with my hunting rifle, and got him in the chest.

Happy to have killed that maniacal fuck, I gleefully ran toward his building, disarming mines as I went. Hopped a small obstruction, landed on a decline, and had enough time to hear the muted beeping of one last mine he set.

Boom.

Fuck you, Arkansas.[/SPOILER]

[PopeDragunov]

For those who think fallouts humor is gone, have only to go to Oasis up top and talk to HerbertHarold.

God damnit, fuck autosave. I feel REALLY bad for what I did in Oasis.

[Matt]

so let me be the first to say there is great satisfaction to be had decapitating enemies and blowing limbs off with 50s swing music playing.

this game is like crack.

[PsychoMantis]

For those who think fallouts humor is gone, have only to go to Oasis up top and talk to HerbertHarold.

God damnit, fuck autosave. I feel REALLY bad for what I did in Oasis.

I bought Red Alert 3 instead of FO3 at first just because I've got so much work to do in school (Beer and chips RTS takes less time). But come Christmas break in a month, I'm busting out that target gift card I've been saving just for this occasion.

And HerbetHarold? You don't have to explain that one to me, I already know. I fucking knew they'd bring Harold back. This game is already awesome. (Plus I heard Lucien's voice in the trailers and thought it was so fitting for the character)

[HarryB]

For what 360 you need to do that in the dashboard.

For the pc.

I realised when I restarted that it the splash screen lets you choose your resolution.

[Vatek]

And HerbetHarold? You don't have to explain that one to me, I already know. I fucking knew they'd bring Harold back. This game is already awesome. (Plus I heard Lucien's voice in the trailers and thought it was so fitting for the character)

Fucking seriously....

-e- Sooo...

...did anyone blow up megaton? I've accepted the job and saved before reporting it to the boss man of the town. he gets shot and killed if you report it. I'm tempted to milk the town of caps, tools, and the Rock It Launcher Specs, plus whatever else I can get, then just blow it.

On another note, the woman who wants you to do dangerous fucking things for her book (like get radiation poisoning so she can treat you) is fucking AWESOME. I decided to get the 600 rads and go talk to her. With the treatment she gave me, I earned the perk of growing back crippled limbs... TAKE THAT HUMAN DNA!!!

[PopeDragunov]

Dude, I just spent like 4 hours WALKING AROUND.

I found Green Acres waste site or whatever, and Oasis is to the west of it... the north of the map is so tragically beautiful in its own way.

Next on my list: EAST.



ALSO- Here, take some radiation chems, it's my little way of saying, "Hey, I'm sorry I twisted your DNA like a kitten with a ball of yarn."

[Pltcl Sniper]

fucking super mutants man there fucking the shit out of me in the Museum :-\

[PopeDragunov]

I just found a russian fellow named Dukov who is livin large in what appears to be an abandoned hotel. He's got a black chick and a white chick who service him in return for protection, and pre-war money and vodka bottles lying ALL OVER a buncha pool tables and the floor.

Dukov is my hero.

Its strange what a difference a few levels make. Those mutants were rocking my can constantly, until level 6, now I can comat shotgun their faces and do the Brutes in in like 3 shots.

Thinking of going back to my energy weapons character, because I've found a source of income and a constant trader that has the most CRAZY stock ever. Plasma rifles.... fuck yeah!

And he appears every other day, AND he always carries like 1k of caps on him so you can trade him a lot of junk and actually get paid.

This is in the same town you find Ant-Agonizer and The Mechanist.

600 cap investment and that crazy son of a bitch has expanded inventory.

[Pltcl Sniper]

Protip Shooting Frags in a super mutants hand=win.

[PopeDragunov]

I like how with like, no explosives skill, I can still fuck shit up with a rocket launcher.

AIMING? WTF IS AIMING.

[MeanPatrick]

I'm still "waiting" for Fallout 3, but in the mean time I've been reading reviews. The game might be as great as they say, but it seems like reviewers are in a contest to see who can bestow the most lavish praise before throwing up.

[PopeDragunov]

:rolleyes:
Sometimes a rose is just a rose, you cynic!

[MeanPatrick]

Hemingway once said a bitch is a bitch.

[PopeDragunov]

Yes, these concepts are quite similar. :D

[MeanPatrick]

Not to mention...

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVRY ROOOOOOOOOOOOSE HAS IT'S TORN...

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVERY MUTANT SINGS A SAD, SAD SONG...

[Moe_Rahn]

Hemingway once said a bitch is a bitch.
Who the fuck you think you're calling a bitch, you little sorry motherfucker? I dunno who the fuck you think you're talking to. Let me tell you one motherfuckin' thing...

[PopeDragunov]

Bwahahh.

But yeah reviews are for faggots, you just have to play it and see because liking a game is all about opinion. And because reviews are for faggots, you don't even need to read the rest of this post which pretty much turned into a review :D

I read the reviews, went "hmm...", and then played the game anyway.

There are some things that piss me off. In the old games, random encounters were just that, random, but clicking some long-ass distance on the map would USUALLY get you into a battle or something. In Fallout 3 I've gone like 10-15-20 minutes just wandering around, looking for something to kill, and finding nothing.

I guess I'm just used to having encounters spoon-fed to me, but in Fallout it's much more of a "hey, a building, maybe theres someone there I can trade with/kill/get a quest from/etc", and then getting to the building and finding... nothing!

I've made like 5 characters so far, just fucking around with the tag skills, and each playthrough has been different because I just pick a direction and roll with it. I found some place called _____'s wharf or some shit with an old lady talkin' bout her sons going out hunting mirelurks or whatever. Found a sewer system nearby, and I would have TOTALLY overlooked it if I wasn't specifically facing that angle. It was kind of a "oh shit, a grate, maybe I can open it, I will take some radiation poisoning just to see if I can" and it paid off big.

The biggest thing I liked about Oblivions concept was the whole "open world, explore, go" thing it had going for it. It was there, just not at all realized t it's potential. You wanted to kill something, you go to a dungeon and do it. You fastforward a week and do it some more, because wandering around gives you a) wolves or b) shitty raiders.

Fallout 3 differs from Oblivion in this key point. When you wander around, you fight a) wild dogs and b) raiders.

Wait. Shit.

[MeanPatrick]

Who the fuck you think you're calling a bitch, you little sorry motherfucker? I dunno who the fuck you think you're talking to. Let me tell you one motherfuckin' thing...

Back on the F3 chain, I think I'm going to bed now:
Woke up @ 11:30ish in the am
Gym 12:30 - 2pm
Groceries 2pm - 3pm
Fallout 3: 4pm - 4am (now)

I'm lvl 11 and about 300 xp to 12. omfg am I tired... but I dont want to quit. :(

-e-
no spoiler tags because you can eat shit I guess.

Dogmeat was killed right before an auto save so I reloaded and sent him to V101 and haven't been around him since. I've got a house in megaton (no I wont be nuking it now). I'm helping Moira with the book, and have 2 more things in the final chapter. Each time I've done a job for her I've done the optional and added something awesome to my arsenal.. I'm trying to keep that up for something good here in the History of Rivet City. Haven't decided to turn in the Android or just tell his previous owner he's gone... I've been hunted by Mercs who have me on a Head Hunting Contract for being such a nice guy out here, that maybe I should start being a dick to people..? Its funny how vast this game is when its not really that big. I mean it is, but its not Fallout 1/2 size of walking across California.

[theboywithnoeyes]

IM STILL CUMMINNNNNGGGGGGGGfuck

[Vatek]

I parked Dogmeat in Megaton until I can get a house to send him to. Still haven't decided the fate of the town.

I also stumbled into a firefight between some BoS dudes and some Super Mutants...and picked up a full suit of BoS power armor from a dead guy. Sadly apparently you need some kind of training to wear it, so I'm lugging around 45 lb of dead weight until I figure that one out.

[MeanPatrick]

lol.

I told Dogmeat to find me meds, and he ran off gleefully.

Only to return, bounding rapidly towards me with his tongue hanging out, carrying some rad-x or something. It would have been really nice if I wasnt in the middle of FUCKING MINEFIELD. Little bitch triggered like every mine nearby and blew me up.

Ok, I dont know if I want to know the answer, but so far this is driving me up a fucking wall *like many of the quests in earlier Fallout Games*. In Rivet City how the fuck do you get access to the rear of the ship w/o lockpick OVER 9000!!! or whatever its at... maybe 100? Either way, I need back there for 2 quests, but I'm figuring I'll have to do other things until I can enter. :( If someone knows who I talk to or how I ask, plz inform kthx.

My xbox got to the repair shop today WOooHOOO only about 12 days till I get the fucker back

[BAS]

well first mod has been made http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/dload.php?action=file&file_id=1175
No waypoints or markers for enemies or quests for Fallout 3.


I can see the appeal of this I guess since it encourages more exploration but I'm assuming if you ask someone where such and such place is it wont show up on your map which is stupid.

[BlindSite]

That would suck major balls.

[theboywithnoeyes]

how do you get dogmeat?

[PopeDragunov]

He's in Scrapyard. The easiest way I can describe it to you is go to Megaton, work on chapter 1 of the book, and get the quest for minefield. follow that line on the map directly from megaton to minefield, and you'l see Minefield ahead, and off to the right a bit is this big bunch of walls and things, dogmeat is in there being ganked by some raiders.

To be honest he doesn't have as much use as I thought he'd have, because if you're going into dangerous turf you don't want his dumb ass to die, and send him to sit outside vault 101 and masturbate, and if you DO need him, it's probably in a situation where he's gonna die anyway.

I don't know if he can be killed when he's out of sight, but I think he probably can.

Dogmeat, argh.

WIN.

[Matt]

so i'm glad i read ahead in my strat guide....
lets just say when you come back to the citadel from the Enclave do not begin the next mission until you are done exploring the wasteland.

I was to gun-ho completing the main quest I forgot about the others.

[SWATJester_os]

they did that to me but they refunded me the shipping cost.

Fucking goddamn Fedex. They let someone else sign for my package. Someone now has my copy of Fallout 3. Amazon has refunded my shipping, and is going to resend me my game.

Yeah, someone opened my survival edition, fucked up the box the clock came in, and broke the clock a little, it doesnt close all the way anymore.
Amazon is replacing the whole thing for free, because i'm a vicious prick who knows how to manipulate the customer service industry. That and I went to college with a couple guys who are fairly heavy duty shitters at Amazon.

[PopeDragunov]

I hope a patch comes out soon.

In the capitol wasteland outside of that comic shop in the building-town-center-thing-place, there's like a little playground, water, and some super-mutants and a brute.

I kill them all, I go to a truck to loot the ammo. Game freezes. Total freeze, cant open dashboard or anything.

I reload, get all mad, run back, get into another protracted firefight.

I go to loot the mutants, I loot 3 of them, and the 4th one freezes me.

God DAMNIT.

I'm just staying away from that area and those fucking mutants.

[Steadman]

Fucking hell I am loving this game. The repair skill is the Godsend we've all been waiting for. Lightening my inventory and upgrading? Fuck yes I love you!

I too have encountered some bugs. Selecting 'Continue' results in a CTD and sometimes it'll lock up when I quicksave. To be honest I think it's a miracle I'm running it in the first place so I can't complain :D

23 skill points per level is awesome.

Repair useful in more than just a handful of situations? Damn, honestly, that's genuinely exciting.

I pick up so many hunting rifles and ARs that I have no shortage of them to use for parts to repair my own gun, lol.

I also found a door in the Arlington War Memorial that requires 95 repair to fix...kinda curious as to what's behind it.

Help me make a decision.
Ok I'm torn between blowing up megaton and saving it. I'd rather live in tenpenny tower, but I don't want Moira's stupid ass to die, and I want to recruit Jericho later. I also kinda like the sheriff and even Moriarty's dumb ass too, but I hate the way that Megaton looks and I'm offended by the thought of them just chilling around a nuke. Which one should I do? Also, should I just do some quests in the town first?

[PopeDragunov]

Megaton is worth saving just for Moira.
Her questline is awesome and she's like my favorite character other than Harold.

[Splitlip]

Plus, if you give Burke a dirtnap, you get a hat, and every well dressed man needs a hat.

[Freshmeat.Popsicle]

fucking fuck fuck how the fuck do you get into fucking gay fuck rivet city fuck

...He certainly illustrates the diversity of the word.

There's a talk box in the rusty shack building. Easiest to figure that out when its light out, I had the same problem.

[PopeDragunov]

Rivet City has the most infuriating layout.

Not only that buy you get a deed to a house there from the mayor after disarming the bomb.

Downside: Saying "Yes I'll blow it up" and not doing it sends Mercs after you in the end... and they're not low level bitches. :( Almost died.


To the part about dogmeat if it wasn't addressed, he's in the north east corner of Scrapyard, he scared the balls out of me the first time I saw him and I just started shoosting at him... he turned red, then I had to kill him.
OMFG can that dog take a lickin. Took me about all 100 5.56 and another 40 or 50 12 ga. rounds to put him down. Then I reloaded, and tried again. On the plus side if you do shoot him like that, and end up killing him, it just makes him unconsious and he wakes up green again. Apparently same with other characters in the game. I tried pick pocketing someone in Rivet City and got caught, so like I always did in Fallout 1 and 2, I went on a shooting spree before I reloaded it... but the first person I shot with a 12 ga in the face didn't die... just got knocked out.... :huh: I kinda like that but I reloaded just in case.

-e- I think when I finish the game I'm going to start over with an evil character... I've been nice the entire thing and its making me throw up after I finish playing. :( That and Talon Hit Squad Mercs. keep showing up trying to off me...

[Onyx]

Is the game really that good? I've never played a Fallout game in my life. :(

[Vatek]

Fallout 1 and 2 are easily 2 of the best RPGs ever made, if not THE best if you don't like D&D games. Fallout 3 doesn't quite meet the sky-high expectations the first 2 set, but it's still a worthy followup.

IMO, if you've never played a Fallout game, get Fallout 1, 2 and 3 and play them in order, ASAP.

[BlindSite]

Is the game really that good? I've never played a Fallout game in my life. :(

Put it this way, I hate RPGs I think they're fucking homo and are no where near as good as a half way decent fps. And I LOVE fallout.

[SWATJester_os]

Plus, if you give Burke a dirtnap, you get a hat, and every well dressed man needs a hat.

How does this work? I aggro the bar if I walk up and kill him. If I tell the sheriff, he pulls his silenced pistol out and kills the sheriff, then leaves. That means I can't get the deed to the house. Am I supposed to just fix the bomb first, and THEN tell the sheriff or something?

Also, the Rock-It launcher > HL2 gravity gun. Holy shit this thing is awesome. You really do never run out of ammo as long as shit is nearby, and it does awesome damage. It's even more fun if you just limit yourself to certain kinds of ammo. I'm only loading it with empty liquor/nuke-a-cola bottles, plungers, teddy bears, and pre-war money.

There's something grossly satisfying about critting two super mutants in the face with plungers, then spinning around and putting 3 teddy bears into a thirds chest, then kill him with a crippling headshot of a stack of dollar bills.

[Freshmeat.Popsicle]

Its like the most awesomest choose your own adventure book. If you're not into RPGs you wont like 1 or 2, maybe Fallout Tactics, but the first 2 are turn based combat which turns away a few people I know (You people may know them as "Faggots"). As for 3 its more of a FPS/RPG/Adventure/zomgfuckingawesomegame title. I dont know the OTF's rules on "sharing" but I bought a copy of the game from www.gog.com... I could give you my log in and let you try out Fallout 1 if you wanna try it.

Tell the sheriff, and the second you two get into the bar fucking unload on Burke, don't even wait for him to get up. I've heard that the sheriff's son will give you the quest rewards if Burke kills the sheriff before you kill Burke, but fortunately I didn't have to test that.

current fallout 3 status:


runs on my computer at a reasonable framerate at reasonable detail levels, even though it is actually below the posted minimum specs (albeit barely)
is fucking awesome

Ah ok. After the sheriff died, the kid gave me something but not the reward, and I never got anything in my inventory. So I raged and killed the whole town.

[MeanPatrick]

Well, I've been playing it for the past six hours and it isn't that bad, of course it isn't the OMFGROLFBBQ game everyone says it is. The moment I stepped out of the Vault I felt like I was playing Morrowind, which is better than feeling like Oblivion, I suppose. VATS turned out to be a half-way decent combat system, but once you run out of APs it turns into a shitty FPS.

Most of the dialogue is either just meh or bad. The worse I've seen so far come from the beginning when you're a kid, most of the adults talk to you as you would expect an adult would to a child, but some of the children themselves move in and out of talking like kids off a TV sitcom or something else. Also, the chat with the sheriff in Megaton made me facepalm on more than one occasion. As far as dialogue goes, I'd rather play something else, even Mass Effect, which I thought had overrated dialogue.

The game also suffers from Oblivions shitty animations. Jumping, though a lot better, still feels like I'm jumping on the moon in some manner. And the stance for punching is the same as Oblivions and still looks fucking retarded. I doubt even John L. Sullivan assumed stances as awkward as this.

From what I've played so far there are a number of things from Fallout 3 that bug me, but the biggest one I think is that outside of towns there is only combat and wondering past boring shit.

Also, Tay Zonday is my dad's friend in Fallout 3.

[Moe_Rahn]

would you go as far as to call it "unfortunately fun", as one person from NMA described it

it's so fucking hilarious, they all went out and bought it, and their spirits are just crushed to find out that it's a decent game

[MeanPatrick]

I wouldn't call it unfortunate. It's fun, but so-far in a very simplicist manner. Now, disappointing? Very much so.

I let the sheriff do his speech. In one try I let him die when he turned his back. In another try the second he turned his back I blew Burke's head off.

Pretty much just sold me the game right there.

[MeanPatrick]

Another annoying thing I forgot and just remembered upon starting up is the third person camera. Who ever thought it would be a good idea to basicly put the camera on your right shoulder should have his balls ripped off. Because the camera is too far away from your characters head to make it effective when going through or around anything to your left. If I'm in some building filled with raiders, and I try to go through a door that's to the left of me some raider is going to start shooting me before I can even see it's mohawk-wearing ass. Mass Effects' camera worked because it was only slightly to the right or your head, where as in Fallout 3 it acts like a parrot on the far side of your shoulder.

Point in case, first person is the only real way to roll, unfortunately.

[Moe_Rahn]

the only thing the third person cam is good for is screenshots of your guy

[MeanPatrick]

Yea. :(

Speaking of which, I must say at least people in the game look human now, and not bobble heads like in Oblivion.

[Moe_Rahn]

Gunslinger perk kicks ass. No downsides like the old fallout games. :D

I just wish they kept Jinxed.

[StandingCow]

So is this game fucking awesome? Or is it "meh"?

[PopeDragunov]

Depends on if you ask MeanPatrick, or the rest of the world.

:o

All I can say is a game's awesometer to me is "am I still playing it after a week?"

I'm on day 2. We will see.

[MeanPatrick]

So is this game fucking awesome? Or is it "meh"?

Depends on what you want out of it. If you want lots of gore, action and lots of space to explore then it's worth the money. If you want a good role-playing game it's not, since the quests, story and choices are about on-par with say Diablo 1 or 2.

[BAS]

I do not regret buying it and am enjoying it but its not perfect. The real-time combat is simply awful and you cant use VATS indfinatly so....until someone mods either turn based into it or somehow overhauls the combat so its more like STALKER it wont be perfect.

[HarryB]

I don't know. I spent a lot of a time with the hunting rifle sniping ghouls from away and watching their heads explode. The only time I've used VATS is when the thing I'm trying to kill is 3 feet in front of me and and I want to kill it fast. The only time the real time shooting is annoying is when I'm point blank and somehow I miss. But since the game is mostly stat based, I can forgive it for that and just switch to vats.

[Steadman]

Ran into a little town far south of Megaton. Can't remember its name for the life of me, but it is..strange. For one the local WOC [weird old coot] insists there's something very, very wrong with its inhabitants. I brace myself, hope for the worst, and walk into the nearest house.
A very nice lady, seemingly well-fed and dressed, welcomes me into their home. She has a child and a husband with a scoped .44. Hmm..something seems off here..she's talking to me, telling me what a great town it is. The American dream. This isn't right. The world is a fucking nightmare yet here's a wonderful family living in their own little corner of the world.

That's when I look in the basement.
Holy. Shit.

Are you sure you're playing the same game as the rest of us? Diablo doesn't even HAVE choices, or any kind of dialog options whatsoever beyond "Talk (to get the same voiceover speech every time), Trade, Leave".

The RPG side reminds me of NWN and NWN2, tbh.

[Freshmeat.Popsicle]

He's just being uptight about it. He went in to the game thinking it was bad, and his mind wont change. There's no point in trying to reason.

Before I "had" to go to work yesterday I met the Brotherhood of Steel...

Now I have Power Armor and Enclave Power Armor. :D ... fucking enclave...

-e- oh and stedman, L O L. I haven't been there but that's awesome.

Wait until you get trapped in pleasantville while looking for dad.

[Krispy Joe]

Um

You mean Tranquility Lane? That was probably the most unique levels in all of videogaming ever. I thought when the Dr. Freud guy wants you to kill everyone it was some kind of Millgram experiment so I said NO! and punched the little girl but then she was all like "I CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT" and exploded my head... of course I didn't learn until after how to do the good karma way, but being the Pint Sized Slasher was quite fulfilling

[BAS]

is anyone else very frustrated with constantly getting lost in DC with all the fucking subway tunnels going god knows where

[SWATJester_os]

Alright I'm fucking ballin right now.

On my person I have: around 7000 caps. 10mm SMG with 500 rounds of ammo. Chinese Assault Rifle with 700 rounds of ammo. AE-21's Plasma Rifle with 300 Micro Fusion Cells, a laser rifle (same ammo as above), a combat shotgun with 120 rounds of ammo, a sniper rifle with 75 rounds of ammo, a .44 scoped with 150 rounds of ammo, a missile launcher with 25 missiles, a fatman with 15 mini nukes (and another fatman in my locker), "The Tenderizer" sledgehammer, Shishkabob (awesome!), Rock-It launcher, 3 bottlecap mines, a silenced 10mm pistol, and some other odds and ends, including over 1000 rounds of energy cell and 5mm.

Chems: I have 90 stimpacks, 10 stealth boys, 20 ice cold nukacolas, 10 purified waters, 20 rad-aways, 30 rad-x, 15 mentats, 15 buffout, 20 med-x, 10 psychos, and an ant queen pheremone.

Armor: Full condition power armor and helmet, Recon armor and recon helmet (what I'm currently wearing), fully repaired combat armor, shady hat, a +speech outfit, a +barter outfit, and tortoise shell glasses.

Oh, and I have the combat modification: enhanced reflexes perk as well as the radiation --> crippled limbs recover perk.

I'm ready to fuck some shit up.

[PopeDragunov]

Yes.

I HATE being forced to use underground tunnels. None of that awesome open-worldedness.

You know what REALLY fucking sucks? I started out in the tunnels, going from Galaxy News to the next waypoint for the main quest, and those fucking feral ghouls raped my melee-only character. (I play on hard)

So I fucking survive the tunnels barely and end up in Dupont Circle or whatever, and I have no means to regen health, the buffout wears off and I'm left with 1 HP, I've got no ammo cept for 2 rounds of the Fatman, and whaddaya know, theres 3 or 4 fucking supermutants on top of the stairs.

I can't fast-travel to megaton to heal, I can't rest anywhere, I can't heal, I can't kill them all, and one shot kills me.

I can't go back into the tunnel either, as I've left a single feral ghoul down there who was chasing my ass, and it's too cramped for the Fatman to be used without murdering my ass.

So it looks like I need to restart and lose my lvl 9 character.

The moral of the story is you can never have enough fucking stimpacks, and saving up 2k of caps doesn't mean shit when you're dead and can't spend any of it.

god DAMNIT.

Oh yeah, and starting out with 10 INT kicks so much fucking ass it hurts. There is NO EXCUSE not to start with 10 int considering you can raise SPECIAL stats via level up now. Might as well get that 5 extra skillpoints per level.

[BAS]

I've been trying to get from GNR to the mall area (which is like a mile in a straight line) and I've been trying to do this for 3 hours because I keep getting lost amid all the tunnels.

[PopeDragunov]

All you gotta do is follow he compass man, just follow the compass and keep heading upwards wherever you can, I got there without really trying, but then I got fucked up so maybe I'll get lost this time around.

My character had like no combat skills, I just pumped the shit out of repair/lockpicky/science/etc to be able to cash in on hidden goodies and quests. Strangely even with like 4 str a baseball bat was more than able to deal with a supermutant.

[SWATJester_os]

Super easy way to do this. Do you have any Georgetown fast travel locations? Do you have Rivet City? Or Anchorage/Farragut West? (this one is easy, it's just a few minutes from Megaton)

From Georgetown, there is a metro tunnel that goes directly to the Mall. There is a metro tunnel from Farragut West to Georgetown I believe as well. Alternatively from Anchorage/Farragut west, walk along the potomac until you get to Rivet City, the big ass aircraft carrier. That's Anacostia station. There's a direct tunnel between Anacostia station and the Mall.

I never even went through the service tunnel they told me to go to, because I had already explored Georgetown, so I already knew there was a direct metro tunnel. Fast travelled to G-town, hopped into the tunnel, boom. I'm there.

Then again, directions aren't too hard for me cause I live here, and basically most stuff matches pretty well to where I'd expect it to be.

[PopeDragunov]

They need to make a fallout on maui so I can know where to go fuckers

hax
clearly. :P

I think the subway systems are nice, considering I didn't have the highest lvls in guns when I was forced through them. Close quarters = Fuck no to aiming, just get close and vats some bitchez y0.


Note to OTF: Don't fast travel to anywhere other than safe places in downtown DC. It's a one way ticket to Ouch Town, Population: You.

I did it to the capital building once on accident, had 3 super mutants in front, one to the left, and one to the right with a Rocket Launcher. Needless to say, there was quite some opposition. Did that stop the little engine that could? (no) ...damn skippy. I just kept chuggin along......

Ok, time to play.

serious spoiler alert!!!!
Seriously, this is important.
I GOT KICKED OUT OF VAULT 101!!!!! :( Its like fallout 1 all over again, only I didn't get to kill that faggot who said to leave for good. :( When it happened, I was like But... but.... :( I hate you all. :( -> Save -> YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!! -> Re-Load From Save -> ok, I'll leave peacefully.

The RPG side reminds me of NWN and NWN2, tbh.

That's probably more on target. I said Diablo because it was the first thing that came to mind and there's a lot of emphasis on combat. But there were a chunk of quests in NWN that weren't binary, IIRC, where as the quests I've done so far in Fallout 3 are mostly binary.

He's just being uptight about it. He went in to the game thinking it was bad, and his mind wont change. There's no point in trying to reason.


And you're being uptight about someone not agreeing with you. Yes, I don't like it, but I don't hate it and just because I don't hate it doesn't mean I'm not going to criticize it.

Spoiler:

I've re-done the ending like 10 times and there's NO WAY to continue the game after you end it. I got a nice narrative story for being a super cool awesome nice guy and all, but I mean... there's more to do! There's no 200 fucking endings, there was 4 at max with alternate narratives based on how you played the game and what decisions you made; good/neutral/bad karma. No matter what happens, you can't continue after you finish the story.

Fuck it, I'll just make a new character. The EXACT opposite of 'savior of the wastes'. I did everything right, broke my good Karma streak about 2 times on accident (not counting when I had to steal meds to stay alive). Now I'm going to do the opposite. Thief based character, and a woman this time too... maybe even with facial hair. :D ...

I wish it was like Fallout 2 with the option after you beat it to continue to play.

[MeanPatrick]

:gun::gun::gun:
Spoiler:

I've re-done the ending like 10 times and there's NO WAY to continue the game after you end it. I got a nice narrative story for being a super cool awesome nice guy and all, but I mean... there's more to do! There's no 200 fucking endings, there was 4 at max with alternate narratives based on how you played the game and what decisions you made; good/neutral/bad karma. No matter what happens, you can't continue after you finish the story.

Sorry man, but there isn't anyway to get around that. If you play the main quest through in any fashion the game just ends.

And what Pete Hines meant by two hundred was there were four endings and a bunch of pictures showing what you did. So it would have been better thought of as four different cakes with over a hundred different icings.

[Moe_Rahn]

oh hey correct me if i'm wrong here but that sure sounds an awful lot like the endings of the first two fallouts

also continuing the game after you beat the main quest is non-canon, because fallout 2 is non-canon, and in fallout 1, which is the only true fallout, the game ended after you beat it

[PopeDragunov]

even oblivion let you play after beating it just what the fuck were they thinking

Correcting you:

The second fallout had the option to continue to play. The story was over, but you could do the min quests in the game if you hadn't done all of them yet. The first one just ended with you killing the overseer after he kicks you out... bastard deserved it too. :D

That doesn't change the fact that they said there would be over 200 endings, implying different actual endings and not just some pictures with barely any narration.

But, I figured from the moment they said it they were over hyping it, it's just that I hate being right sometimes.

[BS87]

Ok, so i've straight up lost dogmeat. Found him, took him back to megaton, told him to stay in my house, then i left and fast traveled somewhere. Now he is nowhere to be found, not even back in the yard where i found him.

[Matt]

there has to be a fix that will be released where you can play the game after the main quest ends. if there are any gamers like me once they develop a character and complete a bunch of tasks, explore the wasteland, beat the game, they are not going to do it all over again for a few side quests. i'm glad i bought a strategy guide (for many reasons other than this) because it said how each of the ends will end the game completely so i was able to stop right before the final mission and finish all the side quests.

i looked it up and they last 2 minutes. i'm sure someone will eventually mod it to be permanent unless you get hit or something.

[BS87]

So, so far in the past hour, I've found "naughty sleepware" in a freaking subway tunnel, which some guy demanded back but i chased off, encounterd a BHOS guy who promptly got fucked over by supermutants (Yay powerarmor and flame thrower are MINE tho) and popped many heads with the sniper & hunting rifle.


Also, i found where dogmeat was hiding from me in my house.... my door. I turn around and he's stuck inside it.

Oh, and the bloody mess perk thing is the best so far, tbh.

[MeanPatrick]

I like to listen to GNR, because if it were possible I'd father Billie Holiday's children. At one point I decided I wanted to see how easy to kill the BOS guys were. I started popping off rounds at them when Three Dog starts talking about how the BOS is fighting for the people of the Wasteland. After a bit I open V.A.T.S. and blew one of the BOS guys' head off, and as soon the game left V.A.T.S. Three Dog said you should give the BOS guys some ammo if you ever saw them. I paused the game a laughed for about two minutes.

No. If you defuse the bomb you get an empty house across from Simm's.

A couple special perks, like the radiation ---> recover crippling one from Moira, or the combat module from Dr Zimmer at Rivet City, I think there's one from Dr. Lesko as well.

[SWATJester_os]

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_3_perks



These are wrong. For instance, Barkskin does not require that you kill anyone, only that you shoot the thing and get it to spray on you (according to the strategy guide); wired reflexes does not require that you side with Zimmer, but in fact you can tell him what he wants to know and then immediately kill him, and the android will never know the difference. Also, it doesn't have the different stats for the different kinds of perks Moira gives you.

[Krispy Joe]

I took the pulse thingy from Mr. Burke then blew his fucking head off with a combat shotgun. Good times

[Matt]

i made the mistake of telling Simms of Mr. Brukes plans and Brukes killed Simms. I had to start the game over.

[Freshmeat.Popsicle]

Yeah that was my first mistake. If you accept the job and dont do it, they send mercs after you. :( They're about the same level of skill and equip you are, but there's like 3 of them so it gets kinda rough.

There's a small town engulfed in fire ants (remember them from Fallout 2?) that needs your help. If you finish it and DONT KILL THE QUEEN you can choose from ANT STRENGTH or ANT PERCEPTION, either giving you a +%25 to FIER!!!11!one11! resist.

I forget what the town is called but its not far from Super Duper Mart, the kid that told me about it was there and led the way.

mercs are being sent after me because I'm too saintly. ....wtf

[SWATJester_os]

you gain karma if you kill the queen and you can still get the ant injections from the good doctor if you ask.

[Freshmeat.Popsicle]

didn't want to risk it.. I took the STR. :D I never put a lot in it because I remember that you get +1 or 2 for the power armor in the end when you need STR. Like the character I put more into the CHR, AGL, PER. Melee, Sneak, Lock Pick.

I dont get what the TAG skills was for though, you get a boost int he first part of the game, but you don't get a +2 for ever 1 point you spend on them like in F1 and 2. :( Bastards.


-e- Also, I haven't played today ... :o :o :o :o ... but I remember how if you dug up people's graves in Fallout2 you got the "Grave Robber" title added to you Karma list, and if by some mishap your party member fraged a kid, you were labeled "Child Killer" and kids would run from you when you walked near them. I don't know the point of this -e- but I just wanted to throw out another thing in F1/2 that isn't in this. :( Moar Sad :(

[Freshmeat.Popsicle]

Oh! In rivet city, there's a US Historian in one of the sections, I can't remember where. But he's an awesome example of "Fallout Humor" if you ask him what "he knows" about history. I listened at first hen thought ........ wait a second, wtf?-LEL

seriously i need someone to tell me how to get into rivet city, specifically

[Anti-Llama]

i remember what pope said about arkansas in minefield so when i got there i was looking for him. I had one bullet left in my sniper rifle and it was at the point of breaking. Sneak attack criticalled him from halfway across the map and blew his fucking body apart. Bloody mess is awsome.


oh and where the hell do you get dogmeat?

[PopeDragunov]

Look around minefield and theres like this walled-junkyard-area like, within sight. Dogmeats in there.

And rivet city, to get in you need to be not swimming (god I hope yu arent swimming) it's past the mutant camp and near the water, theres a shanty-shack-2-tiered stairway thing, with a bum who asks for water. You click the little intercom and they swivel the bridge out for you.

[Anti-Llama]

go out the back of the galaxy radio building, theres a metro station subway system that pretty much leads to 4 different stations, one being very close to it.

Free high grade combat armor :D

Plus, if you kill tenpenny tower guards and get the +small guns combat armor, you can use the black talon armor to repair it. and they're a good source of laser rifles.

I'm capturing Arkansas for the Slavers so they'll let me in so I can rescue those two kids for the Littlelamplight kids so I can advance to vault 87 and get the GECK while at the same time getting mines for Moira's quest and Dogmeat

Get a melee weapon of some sort, go out hunting. Kill as many mutants with hunting rifles and miniguns as you can. When you come across raiders, steal their armor, and keep repairing it until it's in top condition. Sell all of the minigun ammo and the hunting rifles for MONEY DOLLARS!

Also, pick up every pack and carton of cigarettes that you can, as well as pencils, fusion cell batteries, surgical tubes, and conductors. Most of that shit makes for good money, and stimpacks are only around 30 or so each (38?).


By only healing from eating food (mostly the +2 rad, +5 hp stuff, but also mirelurk meat and cake which gives more) and drinking dirty water and nuke-a-cola (ice cold for double healing) I've saved all my stimpacks. I have around 100 now, and enough caps to buy pretty much any kind of ammo I need.

[SWATJester_os]

Don't capture Arkansas. Kill him. He has a sniper rifle and those are hard to find (at least for me).

[PopeDragunov]

WHOAH WHOAH HOLD UP SON

Does repairing gear before selling it give you more profit than just selling it?

What about if you have shitty repair skill and you have to pay to repair it, what then?

And yeah seriously, I need directions to slaverville because Im not touching the main quest on this char, Im just wandering, but I hear the slaver place has schematics for the dartgun and I want one. Halp D: Whats it close to?

[SWATJester_os]

Gear in better condition gives you more money than gear in shit condition.

Consider this: you have 3 assault rifles. You could sell all 3 for 15-20 caps each cause they're badly damaged. Or you could combine all 3 into one rifle that's in great condition, and sell it for over 100. Don't have someone repair it for you though cause they can't get it much past 50% and it costs WAY too much to do it. You inevitably lose money.


As for slavers, I don't know where they are yet.

[Matt]

i found them and killed them.
i'm a saint in the wasteland.
i'm almost done with all the side quests, which sucks because once i'm done with those i'm going to finish the game.

[Freshmeat.Popsicle]

Laser Rifles are everywhere in deep DC near the end of the game. You get them in abundance about the same time you get the Pulse Rifle (making the laser rifle pointless). :(

So my woman was on her way to Arefu to help Mrs. West and their family.. at level 4... when I came across 2 Super Mutant brutes. 1 with a Minigun, the other with a board with a nail in it. I still killed them both. :D My woman kicks ass... and now she's doing it with a nailboard.

Pix soon.

[Steadman]

Shit keeps CTDing. Oh well.

Struck northwest from Megaton and came upon Paradise Falls, a slavers scrounging ground. Talked my way out of paying 500 caps for entry and instead I'm supposed to capture one of four VIP's. "Steady, my man, what do you mean by 'capture'?" Glad you asked! I have myself a Mesmetron right now which is, more or less, roulette in a gun. It has a chance of berserking, decapitating or incapacitating. First time I used it was on a trader guard and she started shooting the Brahman and the trader. I played the nice man, killed her, and got a sexy jacket.

[Matt]

when you go to little lamplight caverns. find Biwwy. he has a lazer rifle called the "Wazar Wifle". its much more accurate and more powerful than the regular lazer rifle and it can be repaired by other lazer rifles. if you have the child at heart perk you can get it for free too.

Once you get to the point where you can wear power armor, laser weapons are all over the bloody place.

Super mutants mainly pack rockets, miniguns and oddly enough, shitloads of hunting rifles.

Talon company mercs pack a lot of lasers, sniper rifles and rockets, plus a shitmix of ARs and shotguns.

The only weapon I haven't seen so far is a gatling laser, although I think I saw a couple of guys in the Brotherhood HQ with them.
