Re: Fallout 3

You have to find the sweet spot, by trying the bobby pin but not too hard...Try turning a little while moving the pin around if you turn too hard the pin breaks..Start from one side and move the pin in increments until you find it..Sorry its kind of a hard thing to explain.

As far as finding pins I have found all of mine in drawers,lockers and metal bins..

Ok thanks. Guess I'll have to try saving the game before lockpicking and do some practice. The problem is I assumed finding picks (or buying them) would be easy, but they seem pretty limited. Might have to start over, I'm only just outside the vault so not very far along.

Re: Fallout 3

1 more hour for us on EST. Don't know if I should spend the rest of the evening reading the guide or jump right into the game. But I can tell you this. I'm excited as heck. Peace!!!!

I don't think you should start over, once you start exploring you will find them.. I broke maybe 10 learning, Lots of variables, in how difficult the lock is, how good you are at it, is lockpick one of your skills?

Spoiler

Go to the Super duper mart there are some there in one of the metal bins(There is a lot bins!)

I have it for PS3, I suggest 360 for the achievements and for the future DLC. Just my opinion.

Re: Fallout 3

Re: Fallout 3

What's wrong with the character? Just bad animation in 3rd person or is he sick/injured? That doesn't look right at all. I wasn't watching earlier in the stream so I'm not sure if something happend to him or not.

Eurogamer Review - 10

In any case, I'm scraping the barrel for things to pick holes in. Fallout 3 has been by some margin the most enjoyable game I've played since BioShock - a game with which it shares a similar artistic vision and ambience. Despite so many worries, Fallout 3 almost effortlessly succeeds in its central aim of reviving a much-loved brand to appeal to the vast majority of players. It's a thrilling, all-consuming experience that will absorb you for weeks, whether you're attracted by the action, the adventure, or the role-playing, as you fall in love with the relentless excitement, incredible atmosphere, sense of place and sheer choice.

Bethesda has once again delivered a game of life-affirming brilliance that will be heralded as a classic, and talked about for years to come.

TeamXbox Review - 9.4

All told, Fallout 3 is a great game. Granted, I still have a lot left to explore, but the pace and scope of Wasteland is fabulous. It’s not a platformer, so if you’re expecting nonstop thrills, this might not be for you. You’ll have sections where you’re zigzagging across the landscape and minutes between combat, but there’s a depth to this trek. You feel as if you’re a post-apocalyptic survivor searching for a close relative who may or may not be in danger…and who has to grow up through near-death encounters with the worst creatures or others seeking to survive the same horrors you are. When people talk about deep, immersive video games, Fallout 3 can stand as a reference.

1UP Review - A

If you seek to break the world, you'll occasionally find a way -- which is understandable, given the limits of time and tech -- but it does pull you out of the otherwise broad and engrossing experience. Faults be damned, though; this is the kind of hugely ambitious game that doesn't come around very often, and when it does, you'd be a fool not to play it and enjoy the hell out of it and look forward to the day (next-next-gen?) when the fidelity of open-world RPGs takes another big step closer to the uncanny valley's far side.
