Fallout 3

Re: Fallout 3

I just beat the game and like a couple people said before the ending is so anti-climatic and sneaks up on you. You will beat the game and not even know you are at the end. I think the main story needs more substance. The game was awesome and I saved prior to beating it, so I'm going to finish out the side quests. Great game, but disappointed in the main quest.

Re: Fallout 3

Hit 43 hours last night. STill haven't done more than 2 steps of the main quest.

Had some fun at Ten Penny last night.

Let's just say the place will never be the same.

Re: Fallout 3

I never really got hooked on Oblivion but I decided to try this out after reading this thread. It took me a couple of hours to get into it but I'm having fun now. I just got my house in Megatron and am planning on taking it slow and doing the side quests.

I'm a good character who tries to avoid losing karma but I'm wondering how much different the game is if you're evil. What happens if you decide to blow up Megatron?

To me that's why you have tons of reasons for at least a second play through. Then you can enjoy the game all over again.

My 2nd playthrough....everyone dies. Don't care about quests, just gonna try to kill every single person I see. Cuz I'm a goody two shoes now.

Re: Fallout 3

Wiping out towns is the harder than what oblivion is + there are the characters that only get knocked out.

Yeah, I'm gonna be one evil bastard my 2nd play through. It's actually cool to have the multiple playthroughs, because so much is different based on how you play.

Re: Fallout 3

In all honesty I've yet to find anything about this game I don't like.

I agree Skyboxer! I was playing it last night for about 4 hours straight! I'm about to fire it up again. Gotta go to work in the morning so I won't be playing too long tonight.

YEAH RIGHT!! lol

Re: Fallout 3

Found this.. looks like the "Cue Gun" is gonna be sweet have to start looking for parts.

Fuel Mine
Parts: motorcycle tank, vodka, sensor unit, turpentine
Skill: Explosives
Effect: mine that explodes and sets enemies on fire (d'uh)
Note: great for clearing rooms
Gammatron
Parts: laser rifle, plasma rifle, conductor, fission battery
Skill: Energy Weapons
Effect: Energy rifle that shoots bursts of gamma radiation
Note: being a custom, hay wired design, this one has a tendency (related to weapon condition) to go critical and blow up (similar to the cars). In such an event it is strongly suggested to drop the weapon and hide behind a thick lead wall.
Jump-Pack
Parts: Combat armor, motorcycle tank, vodka, turpentine
Skill: ???
Effect: A truly mad design by a genius mind. At least that's what you were told. This "armor" allows the user to jump to incredible hights. Sadly it does nothing to ensure a safe landing. It should also be noted that the design has the tendency to set the user on fire.
Note: doubles/triples jump height, 15% chance to set the user on fire, 2% chance to explode violently. Powered by alcohol in the players inventory.
Cue gun
Parts: surgical tubing, scrap metal, paint gun, nailboard
Skill: Big Guns
Effect: a somewhat insane yet functional design that's effectively a crossbow firing pool cues to impale some poor schmuck
Note: uses pool cues as ammo, short range but large damage
#8 Pool Mine
Parts: sensor unit, turpentine, scrap metal, 8 pool balls
Skill: Explosives
Effect: mine that explodes and "shoots" 8 pool balls away from the center of explosion
Note: great for clearing rooms

Edit: To be clear these are just some guy's mod ideas..

Re: Fallout 3

Question on a sniper rifle:

Spoiler

At the Dickinson Tabernackle (I think that's what it is), kinda in the Northwest, there's a drifter that snipes with the Reservist Rifle...but he's on a 2nd floor that I can't seem to get to, so when I kill him I can't loot...am I missing something?

Throw granades to make the dudes head fall to the ground.

Re: Fallout 3

This game is really, really fun. Playing it is so effortless, you just flow from one thing to the next. I thought it would be great, but its better than that, its a Masterpiece.

Re: Fallout 3

Can someone spoiler tag the 'last mission' of no return where I need to save if I want to keep playing the game?

Re: Fallout 3

Man, this is one amazing game. I love how you can pretty much adventure anywhere, and there is always something to do. Game of the year IMO

Spoiler

Save before you go into the rotunda room or you could save before you even go into the Jefferson Memorial just to be safe. But I think you're in the clear as long as you save before you go into the room with the small laboratory in the round room (rotunda), since it told me I couldn't leave the room.

Thanks, I was just about to ask someone this.
