Go buy Fallout 3!!
- Thread starter FlippyD
- Start date
Well, this game has to be fucking amazing.
I have always been a fan of the series, I still have my Fallout 1 manual and my Fallout 2 Jewel Case. I bought them both when they were released. Played them until I had practically everything done, and now at the stroke of midnight I had my hands on the fabled third entry. 98/100, to be truthfully honest. Two points docked because i'm just overly nostalgic and I can't let it go as a FPS with 100/100. The game can be seen as somewhat short, but that is really just for the people, like Prexus, who push through the Main quest. I'm doing it at a leisurely pace, skipping off to side quests here and there. I underestimated the size of the world, and I just decided to never fast travel. Just to walk it out, and trust me, the game feels much more full that way. A motorcycle would be nice but, foot is foot and that's the way to go for me. I have beaten the game already with the main quest, and there is so much more to do. I didn't realize that they had other vaults, and it is very strange going into them and seeing other people, realizing the experiments. And if you really didn't figure it out by the first game,
A throughly enjoyable game, worth every cent.
Also, two pics of my character,

The Vaults were not designed to save anyone at all.

Me too ;-;
I'm like, "ok, I'm going to the radio station!!!!!"
Then I run into a kid along the way and save him from some ants. Then I head back to Megaton and disarm a bomb. Then I work on furnishing my pad. Then I head back out to the radio station, and then I run into some Knights. Rinse repeat x 12!!! gah
Just out of curiousity, how did YOU guys get your apartment? I got it for free by blowing up Megaton for Mister Burke (on my second playthrough) and am unsure of any other way? I assume you can purchase it?
On my first playthrough, I let the Feral Ghouls into the building... yeah... lost my chance there.

Defuse the bomb in Megaton instead of blowing it up and you'll get your own apartment in Megaton, which, in my opinion is the better deal. You can outfit it with all sorts of crap at the Craterside Supply store.
The Megaton house looks like crap, but there's two floors, you get the robot, you get a workbench and you can add a laboratory, Nuka-Cola machine and various house themes like the Love Shack that has alcohol and leisure-wear all over the place, rose petal looking dust coming in from the ceiling, lesbian christmas light statue and a heart shaped bed with silk sheets... In the middle of the floor. Did I mention there's a lot of alcohol everywhere?

I got the PC version and I'm starting to get very, very annoyed at all the crashes. I'm kinda hoping bethesda releases a patch soon or it's going to be one looooong and definitely not enjoyable game =\
yeah I've been on "go to galaxy news radio" forever. out of curiosity, how did everyone here get the info about their dad? i just killed the dude since he was being an annoying prick and asking me for 300 caps and stole his computer password. seems i did everyone in town a favour too!
@Hevendor:
I have the PC version and mine's never crashed :/
I'm totally hooked on this game. I stayed up until 4am playing it. And yes I was actually advancing the story a little!
What're you guys training? I can't help but try to train multiple weapon types at once. I know that's a dumb practice, but I love all the different guns for different situations. My Big Guns is less focused on than the Lasers and Smalls though.
One thing that irks me is that my Sneak is at like 80 right now, and still even gimpy molerats can find me effortlessly when I'm sneaking along the wastes. It seems like the dudes see you a little too easily in this game, or hear you. You have to creep along like molasses just to pull off a sneakattack in tighter areas. Even when I use that cloaking device dealie, I get people chasing me (just, less focused).

I got the one in Megaton. I was REALLY tempted to blow up the city, but I make it a habit to always make my 1st playthrough along the "good" path.
Is it true that once you get one place, you can't get the other, period? I really wanted to own both ;(

When the chick married Diego in Rivet City, I attended the wedding. Only the girl showed up, not Diego, yet the pastor still spoke to him as if he were there :/
Then when it was over, the girl kind of gimped out and walked into a corner for 30 game minutes, then left. Now I can't find Diego anywhere on the ship. Weird!!!!

I haven't crashed either.
Also I did play through with Good Karma my first time, and now i'm going through with bad Karma.
Also you can't get both houses because you need to blow up Megaton for the suite and do something that I dunno what it is for the megaton house.
Also, just like in every other Fallout game, I tag Speech, Small Guns and Science. By the time that I get around to using larger guns and energy weapons, i've pumped enough points from levels into what I need and leaving behind what I don't. Also, the Laser Gatling Gun is the ultimate weapon, my Big Gun skill was 15 and I used the laser with no problem, accuracy was dead on.
Laser Gatling Gun is -not- the ultimate weapon.
The Fatboy is the ultimate weapon.
I trained Melee, Small Guns, and Speech. Only because I was running out of ammo a lot to begin with. At around 60~ I stopped levelling Melee and focused entirely on Small Guns/Speech/Science and put whatever remaining points I had into Big Guns for the FATBOY. Although at that point I was 1-2 shotting everything with headshots anyways. GG Sniper Rifle.

Also the weapon you get from killing the Colonel is better than the gatling gun.

I have played about 3 hours of this game, loving it so far, but I'm curious... Has anyone else had problems in general with choppiness or lag (PC version)? I'm running it on a brand-new system that exceeds all the recommended requirements, and even when I've got the settings at low, it hangs every once in a while for a few seconds, or gets choppy in the Wasteland area.
Not really, my PC's not brand-new anymore but it's still considered high-end, and the only time I experience a little chop (on all very high to ultra high settings) is whenever something huge explodes, like a mininuke or a bus.
