speech isn't as useful as it was in the old games, there is a speech check but a lot of people cheese the system and save reload until the chances fall in their favor.. and while charisma helps for bartering.. you can just simply.. trade all the stuff you need.. then slaughter your trade target to get the key to his/her supply locker :p. Its all about the perception/intel/agi this time around.

I went small guns and sneak then lockpick.. and you're pretty much an unstoppable killing machine since sneaking crits are insta kills usuallly or at least 50% of the target's hp.

Where do we go to get Sergeant RL-3?!?

Speech can play a big role in the game. I have my speech upped to around 70-80 right now. It REALLY helps to avoid fighting and finishing quests without even doing them

I stumbled into one in the Comic publishing place. Fortunately I wasn't close enough to the blast radius to take any damage, but it was definitely startling. Then I ran into the Super Mutants. After chucking 2 frags at them without killing a single one, I decided the prudent route was to restore:p.

Dang... i wish I knew that before I sold off my extra munitions.

WTF... my game is fucked or somthing

im at the point where u have to lead Dr.Lee out of the water treatment plant through the tunnels, she keeps saying "the Citadel is the only hope"

we eventually get out of the tunnel, right in front of the citadel, but then the paladin out front says nothing, and Dr.Lee just fucking takes like 30 minutes to walk ALLLLLL the way back to the water treatment plant, once inside she says we need to get to the tunnel, she then goes back into the fucking tunnel but it's all blocked off now???

WTF...

It sucks not having high speech and charisma though :(

i started with high int and luck and its been working out great. pretty much every 1/3rd of attacks is a critical (not against super mutant brutes though :() anyone else find that time just passes by so fast when playing the game?

Leopold Stotch 11-07-2008 11:02 PM

i have no idea what Fallout is, but i know a few people who are playing it


what type of game is it? because i didn't enjoy oblivion what so ever.

Presto 11-07-2008 11:14 PM

It's a non-linear RPG. The world is pretty huge. It's not an FPS, even though it may look like one. There's lots of exploring to do, and crawling through confined spaces. It's incredibly awesome, if you like RPGs. You'll hate it, if all you are looking to do is kill things.

Leopold Stotch 11-07-2008 11:19 PM

^ that's what i wanted to do.

go around and fuck shit up like GOW or Resistance. i guess i'll rent it thanks!

ForbiddenX 11-09-2008 04:23 PM

Got the game today and started playing just a few minutes ago.

SkinnyPupp 11-09-2008 04:32 PM

So I beat the game, without the intention of doing so.. It feels like I missed 3/4 of the game, but it was getting to the point where I was just so powerful, there was no effort in the fights...

And somehow the game skipped an entire mission or two... I never did the 'radio station' quest at all, never even went there to talk to the guy..

About 19 or so IIRC. I had 2 perks that basically made every enemy an instant kill by using VATS.

ek-nine 11-09-2008 06:23 PM

can you start playing fallout 3 without playing the previous versions or do you have to play the previous ones to know what's happening?

You can start playing FO3 without playing the previous ones.

Presto 11-09-2008 10:37 PM

Playing the previous Fallouts helps a bit, though. Stats and their effects, drugs and addictions, combat and crits, etc. Those things have remained almost the same across all the Fallouts.

I finally spent around 1000 caps on the Rock-It Launcher plans. It's quite the fun weapon. It uses junk for ammo, which is laying around all over the place. Decent damage, and half the firing rate of a pistol. It goes good with the bloody mess perk. It's fun to launch plates, like saw blades, at people's heads. It feels kinda wrong to see someone explode in a gory mess when you launch a teddy bear at point blank.
