lockpicking is really useful lol.. you'll soon find out later in the game :P.

The loot in this game pretty much sucks... All there is is garbage dropped by mobs you kill... All the 'caves' I have explored have no good loot at the end, and you end up just wasting a lot of time, not getting anywhere.

This game is definitely failing to capture my attention. I loved Oblivion too, and although I can see a LOT of similarities, this one just isn't grabbing me for some reason. I guess because there is very little loot progression

I thought the same as well with the amount of junk in the game... til I read about how many of these junks are actually valuable components to weapon creation. I forgot the recipe but tin can plus grenade and other stuff makes a much stronger explosive. Though I am still too low level to do craft anything, I just store all my junks in the locker.

its a wasteland what do you expect? having mob rats shtting gold coins or having enclave armory in every buildings/ruins? The junks are one of the highlight of the game reflecting what you mostly would see in a torn world. This is no COD or CS where you have almost unlimited ammo going rambo style, you suppose to use VATS mostly to conserve your gears thats how they want you to survive.

Something along the lines of Oblivion or, say, every other good RPG ever created in the last 30 years or so.

I need to start doing the quests. I've spent most of my time wandering and killing every mob in sight. I'm halfway to level 14 and I think I've completed maybe 3 quests, I have tons open. The good thing is once I do decide to do them is I can fast travel almost everywhere on the map.

As I mentioned before, FO is not like those RPGs where you can get the ultimate weapon and disregard your SPECIAL assignment.

After a few more hours of play (the stupid fire ant quest) I can say with certainty that I don't like this game. I can see why others do (and I gave it MANY chances, I kept coming back to it) but it just isn't fun to play for me. This is coming from a pretty big Oblivion fan (although I never played Fallout 1 or 2).

Hondaracer 11-05-2008 07:55 AM

^ I never played the first 2 fo's and I hated oblivion but I love fo3 lol

trade it in at FS for maximum value, and get GeOW2 for 10 bucks :D

There's plenty of GTA4 collections, and Halo 3 legendary edition flowing around.

dont worry about not being to get one for GEOW2 a month down the road

Had a sweet VAT moment, last night. I was on the elevated highway taking out all the raiders along it. I saw a raider from a distance, and he saw me. I took cover behind a barrier, and waited for him. He was fast. As soon as he rounded the corner, I activated VAT to unload half-dozen 5.56mm rounds into his head. In the time it took me to let loose a shot, the raider jumped in the air and whipped out a flame flower, and just as he was about to fire, my second set of bullets were released and exploded his head like a watermelon in beautiful, graphic, gory detail.

I love this game.

+1
I thought Oblivion was crazy but swords + first person just couldn't do it for me. I loved the environment and setting more than Fallout 3 though, but the creepiness of FO is pretty sweet.

that is very true, i remember seeing the halo 3 helmet one at f-shop for 49.99 haha and i thought it was going to be the only one having it lol when i pre ordered it lol

hal0g0dv2 11-05-2008 10:55 AM

does anyone play in 3rd person view at all, it seems like he is walking with a limp in 3rd person lol
i stick with 1st ftw

Guy_LikeWhoa 11-05-2008 02:29 PM

The 3rd person view is gay. They let you customize the way your character looks, but you can't even view your own character from the front. The character animations suck too, looks like he's kinda just floating around instead of walking. Definitely better in fps view

Hondaracer 11-05-2008 03:18 PM

^ if you go AFK for a few minutes the camera pans around your guy so u can see everything he's wearing

turbomelon 11-05-2008 04:41 PM

If you wanna view your char from the front Hit the F key on your keyboard.. ( if you're playing it on PC ) and rotate the mouse lol.

Hondaracer 11-05-2008 05:05 PM

lol fuck, i just came out of some scavengers hut near Tennpenny tower, and there were 3 bounty hunters waiting for me

Apparently there is a bounty on my head for the "attrocities" ive commited across the Wastes, they called me the little brat that escaped from the vault lol

needless to say, shotgun blasts to the head made them take a quick nap

Presto 11-05-2008 07:06 PM

I think an easy way to build up good karma is to give that guy, sitting outside of Megaton, a lot of purified water.

I don't want to risk reading any spoilers, but does anyone know how I go about in using my repair skill to fix my stuff? Do I need a hammer or something?

turbomelon 11-05-2008 08:37 PM

to fix your stuff you need to have items of the same type.

Then you hover your cusor over the weapon you wanna repair.. and hit R then it'll bring up the repair menu. Be careful though, to not overwrite a weapon you want to keep with the weapon you're repairing. The weapon that's being repaired is surrounded by brackets. OR you can pay a vendor to repair.

SkinnyPupp 11-05-2008 08:56 PM

See, it's a new day, and I WANT TO PLAY FALLOUT 3 AGAIN! But I know I'll just get pissed off... Maybe creating a new character really would help... dammit!

turbomelon 11-05-2008 09:32 PM

Saw this posted about one of fallout's cohorts.. Hilarious.

Spoiler!

SkinnyPupp 11-05-2008 10:57 PM

I started the game again, putting a ton of points into Intelligence and Luck. So far fights are going a lot better with VATS. I also focused more on small weapons rather than trying to spread points between two weapon types, and put some into melee to conserve ammo.

It sucks not having high speech and charisma though :(
