Hehe... I've restored my game to the point before my rampage. Megaton is safe, for now. :)

I love all the unique weapons and special armors you can get in the game, I do miss all the humor of the old fallout's tho.

The journey to the end of fallout3 is incredible, then the ultimate ending is by far the laziest and most anti-climatic ending ever conceived for a game of this caliber. Such a shame.

I cannot tear myself away from this game. I haven't looked forward to a game more in as long as I can remember. I loved Fallout 1 and 2, but I really didn't like Oblivion that much. I was worried they would screw it up, but it looks like they did a great job from what I've seen so far. I really have schoolwork to do, but I want to play so badly.... Oh man I don't think I can stop myself. I'm loading it up again now. Damn my foolish professors allowing late assignments.

I am still at the 10 years old birthday party....wtf I definitely need to spend more times on games...

hahah that is like 20 min in, what lvl are u guys? i am 13
fuck this game is longer then i thought hahaha

I'm on lvl 4 after a couple hours. I've been spending my time exploring Megaton, and Silverdale Elementary. I think I've killed everything in Silverdale, including the stuff in the basement. I still have yet to check out the Minefield and other places on the map. I've got my own place, though! It has a robot that does sexual favors for me.

EDIT: I can't stop playing it, either. I thought I was gonna sleep early tonight.... guess not!

what am I supposed to do? I can foresee I am going to give up this game before I reach the first leve.

im lvl 4 but i've explored a shit load of area's now

LOL @ that guy living with the 2 whores partying and drinking and fucking, i killed em all! lol im killin pretty much anyone i come into contact not in a city

some very interesting quests so far

yah some of the quests are crazy, its crazy how u can roam for like hours and hours without noticing

Has anyone else come across Vault 106? Played it at 3 am last night and the creep factor of the game was definitely cranked up a notch. Hurray for atmosphere!

im lvl 5 now and ive also explored quite a bit... found that ghosttown that gets raped by mutants and raiders just about to find and take out the mutant camp.

on a side note: i woke up for work this morning and found my roommate and my buddy playing secret of mana for snes. they played since midnight last night so thats like 9 hours straight! trying to beat it in one sitting...

damm that's dedication

This game is like Fable 2, I run around exploring the world and hours would have passed until I realize that its 3 in the morning lol.

I can't wait til I get some of those cooler weapons though... shooting those scorpions with a handgun isn't fun.

^^^

There's an assault rifle in the basement of the elementary school.

i like the combat shotgun

Yeah I actually have a few other guns like the laser pistol and such. Ammo is rare in this game so I don't want to waste clips on one single scorpion. I guess a grenade will do.

When can we craft guns anyway?

Hondaracer if u like the combat shotgun you'll love the Terrible Shotgun. :p

Is it just me or is this game pretty damn hard? I find myself with barely enough ammo all the time, and blowing through stimpacks like mad

If that happens it means you either
1, sucks a playing games
2, chose a wrong SPECIAL combination for your innate play style

Well I don't suck at games, that's for sure. Especially when first person shooting is involved :)

I think I wasted some points building my character though. Oh well, I can slowly build her back up. It's not hard to the point where I have died yet, or failed any missions. I am just used to having so much extra ammo and health that I NEVER have to worry about it. But in this game, I have to heal and watch ammo.

That's what I thought. FO's SPECIAL system is really important to the gameplay, unlike those RPG games where it doesnt matter if you strength of 1, as long as you have special weapons you rule.

My advice is to replay the game, saves yourself some major pain in the future.

Same, I restarted a character after watching the IGN video. Its true that no matter how well you can aim in FPS games, it wouldn't help much in Fallout 3.

I went with a small gun character and its been fun so far.

aim gets wayyyy better when you have alot of points in small arms

i'm lvl 7 now and i put quite a bit of points into small arms, it's soo much easier to get manual headshots now instead of using the SPEC or w/e its called

I'm movin on up in the world, i've got a balling penthouse in Tennpenny tower :D lol

^VATS?

Tennpenny huh? You nasty evil person

I think I put too much in lockpicking. I made a speech guy haha.. but I kinda wish I put more into sneaking so I could pickpocket people. I killed the sheriff when he came to greet me LOL.

"There's a new sheriff in town. Time to die asshole!" :lol
