Fallout 3

[Scutch]

I can't decide if I should buy this, Fallout 3 or Mirror's Edge. I can't afford all 3 this month, I've already bought LBP and pre-ordered SOCOM.

Wrong thread, but I'd buy Fallout 3

I've managed a good few quests now, did a couple for Megaton including the Super Duper Mart, Went to the Museum (millions of super mutants), which got quite tricky... then went and sorted the Dish for GNR. Now gotta go to Rivet Town, or Slaughter "The Family", or place some Tracking thing for that nutcase at Crateside Supplies and some others too. Not far off Lvl 7 now, but need some serious caps, and some better gunnage. No idea how long i've spent on it, couldn't find that anywhere. Why do people blow up Megaton though?

what have you been doing? I just turned level 8 last night and I've got soo many weapons that I have to leave them in a box somewhere lol. Good to go back to so I can repair the ones I'm carrying.

Found the radio station last night and now doing the android mission. Scutch, why did pinkerton start shooting at you? When I went in there he just started chatting away as a freindly to me?!?

Also anyone else find the Super Mutants suprisingly easy to kill? Two shots with the combat shotgun and it's all over. Unless it's a brute it sometimes it takes three.

I just found out last night that when using VATS you can actually select to shoot twice in one go if you have enough AP lol I never knew that!

dependant on the weapon you can shot 3 or 4 times, and at mutiple enemys. when I killed everyone in megaton there were 3 people charging at me, 3 headshots with the chinese assault rifle in one vats session. goodnight vienna

When you destroy megaton you get an apartment in the plush tenpenny towers too

 

[Rhino172]

I don't think I can destroy it now cos when I first met the guy in the bar I told him to fook off and he did lol, then I reported him to the sheriff dude and they had a shoot out and I killed him after he killed the sherif. Then some message came up on the screen saying I can no longer get the award for blowing up megaton

I might just start a new game and go and do it straight away as it's so ealry on, then just carry on with the one I'm on lol

I'm pretty sure I'm on level 9 power up at the moment, and I've been to a few places but havent done that many missions yet, certainly not on the main chapter. I still need to go to the final destination in the Blood Ties mission (The Family) and I aint been to GNR yet, either!

 

[Darren S]

Yeah I havent used that Power Fist yet.

Great piece of kit. But the Super Sledge is so much more rewarding to use. Especially against super mutants as they are far to slow to turn on the spot and you run around them going thwap, thwap, MASH!

Not done GNR yet either. Got two of those five keys/items that that ghoul has asked me to get off various people.

I also want to get shitloads of caps to recruit that ghoul in the bar of the Underworld. Apparently he does anything for the person that is holding his contract. His current owner wants 2,000 caps for him, iirc? Alternatively, I could just go and kill the bar-owner's business rival. But she seems decent enough - even if her face is falling apart.

D.

 

[Scutch]

Has anyone recruited Dogmeat yet? The lovely pooch.

Yep - had him for ages until I caught up with me 'ol dad. Then escorted dad all the way back to Rivet City and Dogmeat was no where to be found.

I'm hoping he's gone back to either the Scrap Yard or the original Vault. I'll probably check out both locations, tbh.

Ooops that comment was meant for the COD5 thread

I reckon I will choose Fallout 3, everyone in this thread appear to rate it highly.

 

[Scutch]

Not only the people in this thread, but its average on Gamerankings is almost 95%, which is absolutely fantastic, considering it has no multiplayer content, which is what most reviewers rave about at the moment. As a single player game, its up there with the best, IMVHO.

 

[Seedy172]

I de activated the nuke at megaton... does that mean I can't blow it up anymore. or do I mini nuke it? what do you get for doin that anyways?

I want to know that too.. I don't want to have to start again just to blow it up

 

[Scutch]

You f*cking karma killing creations of Satan! Leave it alone!!

 

[Rhino172]

lol there are achievements on the 360 version for reaching certain levels with a specific level of karma....

I might just create a save just before each level where you get the achievment, play the whole game with good karma, then load up each save, go round, raise hell, then go up the level to get the bad karma achievment....will save playing through the whole game again

 

[Christopher]

You're such a caveman, Turner...

I spoke to 'Cherry' and using the Speech skill managed to convince her to steal Dukov's key off of him. She agreed to it, so long as I escorted her back to Rivet City.

She got the key, flicked to World Map - travelled to Rivet City - job done. More good karma earned.

My halo is still intact. Kind of.

D.

LOL

He pissed me off.

Weapons... Combat Shotgun... Face.

Done, IIRC.

I watched his wh*res run around for a bit, then, standing on the upper level, i fatboy'd 'em in the toilets.

"You've lost karma" :evil:

I brappppppedddddd Dukov in the face with an assault rifle, then executed his bitches from behind with a scoped magnum

It's a good thing I don't have real guns

 

[Scutch]

Awesome game. Got my three Stealthboys last night, all from Pinkertons workshop in the Bow of Rivet City (broken part of ship). He had a few shots at me, I had a few back. Noticed that although I took his life bar away a few times, he kept going off to regenerate health. I figured he must be quite an important character in the game and cant be killed yet. So I took off and gave it a few days before returning. Turns out he's the guy to speak to about the android mission, as it was him that did the work. Now I have a choice to make about telling "X" that they are the android, or telling Zimmer who it is. Hmm...

Fantastic game, though.

Oh, and another thing, I went to Vault 106 last night, and was wandering around in there, and the screen goes blue on occasion. I walked down a corridor and noticed 3 scientists. I hovered my target over one of them and it said it was my dad (in the game, obviously)! I'd found him!! He went into a room, so I followed, the screen went back to normal colours and he was nowhere to be seen!?

I continued on, and then realised that when the screen turns blue, its my character having a view into the past, which was very spooky at first, as guys in lab coats were running up to me and as I was getting my gun out or to talk, they ran right into me and disappeared before the screen returned to normal! So freaky!!

Then in one of the rooms on the lower levels, I "found" my dad again. I obviously couldnt talk to him, but it was quite neat that he was there in the same room before reality kicked in. A ghost, perhaps? Or just a flashback? Tidy, TBH.

Just found out I have 3 options for this android situation, and I'm losing out on at least 1 differing thing no matter which I take. Choices choices.

ROFL! Not got the Fatboy yet, but I've seen it for sale. What's the blast-area like on those? I take it you've got to keep some distance away?

lol...lets just say I've killed myself several times with mine :clown:

 

[Scutch]

I tried to pickpocket Flak many times in Rivet City to steal his Mini Nuke, but was busted every time. Even using the Stealthboy!

 

[Cookie]

I think I need to play this tonight, FM08 is taking all of my time atm

You've a soft spot for Flak and wish to continue placing your hand in his pocket?

It's ok. You can talk about it on here. You're amongst friends.....

I just wish they'd put in a "Pull down his trousers" command :dapprove:

 

[oska]

I found a mini nuke in the super douper. Is it worth keeping or should I sell it?

 

[Scutch]

Good question, this one was worth 250 caps.

I can see my character being as evil as possible by Level 20!

Barely large enough for you to use it!

If the round follows it's natural trajectory, you're reet.

If it collides with anything on the way, ie nearer to you... you're makin' bacon. 1000 Rads to the face. :evil:

 

[Scutch]

I think you just get a different home, and some caps from Mr Burke.

 

[Christopher]

Yep. If you destroy Megaton, you get a place in the tower that you watch the detonation from.

I've done both. The first time i blew the bomb, but didn't like the outcome, so seeing as it was near the start, i re-started.

Disarming the bomb FTW. Nice sh*tty shack in Megaton, free purified water and decent shops/traders.

It's the best option IMO

Plenty of Win in this post.

 

[Rhino172]

fook, I didn't dissarm it either I just left it....how do you go about dissarming it? is it the same guy that want's you to blow it up? If so them I'm never getting a place of my own cos I killed him lol

 

[Seedy172]

lol, don't fancy starting again now! il find something else to blow up instead! there is somethin missing from this thread... where's the EPICness? lol

You just go up to it, and it will ask you to Activate bomb. Activating actually activates the control panel giving you the option to arm or disarm.

coooool I'll do that later, I'm assuming you need a certain level in science to do it though?

You do... OR, simply use a Mentat from your inventory.

Dont think there's any repercussions to that. I did the same first time around, shot him dead after he killed Simms. But then I reloaded the save point and after he shot the sheriff, I let him go, to which he said, "You'd better watch your back."

Yadda yadda yadda.
