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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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?

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.

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  | |
