Fallout 3

[Darren S]

Well done Scutch. Not many Gaming Chat threads break the 1,000 post mark.

Not as such.

Once you aquire the blueprints, they go into your notes (so you can't sell them etc).

When you goto a workbench providing you have the right items, you'll make that item if you click it (it won't ask you to confirm.. not that anything requires a particularly rare item..).

Anyway, you don't need a skill to build things, but depending on your repair skill (which I have at 90 now) will determine the condition of the weapon you build.

wheres there a workbench?

 

[BioHzrd]

wheres there a workbench?

Theres one in the shop in Megaton if you didnt blow it to s**t theres another in the "Familys" hide out if youve found that yet

 

[Christopher]

There's workbenches in most trading areas

 

[vdust182]

Not played this in a couple of days. I think its time...

 

[Christopher]

I've just finished it.

Epic. Game of the year, for me.

I finished as an evil character, and got a so-so ending.

Now... this time i'm re-playing, using the guide and i'm going to be 100% good.

Maybe.

Impossible. You'll meet someone you don't like and instantly feel 'all-Cookie'.

You'll probably finish the game even more evil than before.

Same here Chris. I think if and when I finish it, I'm going to follow the guide and do things perfectly, so to speak, as far as perks and skills go.

Regarding the schematics (blueprints), there are up to 3 of each of them, and the more you get, the more "developed" and fine tuned the weapon will be. For example, I currently have two schematics for the Shishkebab, which increases its ability by about 10-15%. A third will make it even better. I still havent made one yet though, coz I cant find a Motorcycle gas tank ANYWHERE!! I had one early on in the game and got rid coz it was too heavy. Bah.

Found the Arlington Library last night, which is very close to an Enclave camp, SE of Megaton near the coast. I didnt bother going in and doing the mission for Moira. I continued on to a place called Andale, where a couple of families live. Erm, that was creepy, and very B-Movie horror like.

Also, I checked my hourly figure last night : 54 hours I've spent on the game.

Lol - I know what you mean! Especially when that old guy says about not going into the shed - yet all the other weirdos in the village think he's just being daft. You just know that there is something a bit freaky going on in Andale.

My money is on the fact that they all molest hamsters.

I took the keys from both families bedroom tables, and ventured into said shed, and also the basement.

 

[Christopher]

Now i'm armed with my guide, i'm going to start again tonight.

Whether i stay pure or not is questionable... but i'm going to make sure i spend more time away from the main story. I finished the game as a Level 18 and had probably only discovered half the locations!

Huge game. Nothing has replay value like it.

Loving the guide too, Scutch... good shout.

 

[Scutch]

I'm on level 17 ATM, but I'm resisting finishing the game because you cant continue your side quests.

I'm just getting a little paranoid that once I hit level 20 I cant increase me skills stats and Perks, so I'll have what I've already chosen :dapprove:
Well, saying that, I can still search for the Bobbleheads (+10 skills) and the magazines (+2)

 

[McBunny]

scutch there are bike gas tanks everywhere

 

[Scutch]

scutch there are bike gas tanks everywhere

I honestly cant find any anymore. There are loads of motorbikes too, but nothing on them to take.

 

[McBunny]

there was a pile of them somewhere last night just cant remember where

 

[Christopher]

There's a few at Evergreen Mills dude.

Also try the Raider camp near the riverbank, on the way to Dukov's Place.

I find them everywhere too, but they weigh a ton.

Which weapon do you need it for?

 

[Scutch]

Shishkebab IIRC. I could just steal Vance's, TBF.

 

[Rhino172]

Whats the name of the last Quest in the game that officially "finishes" the game?

Would be handy to know so I can stop with the story lines just before that quest and carry on mooching about killing stuff lol

 

[Christopher]

You re-group with the Lyon's Pride at the Citadel. Once you've got the G.E.C.K from Vault 87.

Once you've retrieved the G.E.C.K, i'd store it somewhere safe, then go and do the rest of what the game has to offer.

 

[Rhino172]

nice, cheers...

still waiting for my box to come back from microsoft at the moment tho which is a bit of a pisser...

Iv nearly finished on that note then.

Time for some more exploring now i think! Don't want it to end yet.

 

[Christopher]

Definitely.

I was actually annoyed that it ended... i've not played a game that made me think that, since Shenmue on the Dreamcast.

 

[mcoppen]

Cant wait to get this on Friday. I have the whole of next week off work to, so will be solidly playing it. Sounds like they have brought across loads of bits from oblivion into this, which is definately a good thing.

 

[Scutch]

Definitely.

Gears of War annoyed me when I finished it too. Was gutted.

A few games have that effect. You then know you'll hardly ever play it again.
Saying that, there are a few games now with massive replay value in a single player sense. Resident Evil 4 on the Wii was the last one. I think this is the next one, but I dont actually want to finish it!

 

[Christopher]

This time, i'm going to get upto the Citadel section, train for the Power Armour, then roam the Wastes as a Level 21 legend, TBH.

You can take a perk to allow you Level 21. I found this out last night, i took said perk, then finished the game 40 minutes later. At Level 18.

Failure.

 

[Scutch]

PMSL!

[Rhino172]

am I right in thinking there is a perk that instantly puts you up a level and gives all the benefits that come with it?

So when you reach level 20, get that perk and then your 21?!?!

 

[Christopher]

Yep. That's it.

It's about three-quarters of the way down the perk list.

I'll definitely be taking it this time.

 

[BioHzrd]

I honestly cant find any anymore. There are loads of motorbikes too, but nothing on them to take.

Ive got 4 of them in my house in a locker cant find the freaking lawnmower blade though !!!!

 

[Final Maxim]

where the hell is your house?!? we have a storage?

 

[BioHzrd]

where the hell is your house?!? we have a storage?

Well i got a house in Megaton same diffrence lol !

 

[J0sh]

where the hell is your house?!? we have a storage?

If you save Megaton by defusing the bomb, you get given a shack of your own.

 

[Waitey]

Trader in megaton always has them on her.

 

[Final Maxim]

sweet, how do you actually disarm the bomb then, what do i need

 

[BioHzrd]

lvl 25 explosives i think it is

 

[Final Maxim]

ahh ill do that on my next lvl up then

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

FFS.

Has anyone taken the Nerd Rage perk?

Mine fucked up somehow. I've got 6 Strength, but found the Strength bobblehead, took this perk.. And I'm still on 7?! WTF

Only noticed this like 10 hours on so I can't really go back and try it again.

 

[Scutch]

sweet, how do you actually disarm the bomb then, what do i need

You can disarm the bomb at any point IIRC. Simply click to "Activate the bomb" which will unveil the control panel. If it says your skill isnt high enough, take a Mentat from your Aid inventory and try again. Job done.

 

[Final Maxim]

hmm, i was going for good player, but i just got the 4 slaves for paradise falls and gained access. they got some pretty cool stuff but ill need to steal it, might shoot the place up
