[turbomelon]

Just acquired the game today and I was actually pretty surprised that it wasn't half bad. :p

I'm probably the hugest fallout fanboy/nerd and despite the bastardization of the story and complete reworking of most of fallout's key elements I have to say the game is actually good.

Anyone else in here pickup this game yet?

[jing]

I'm 'acquiring' it right now..

[asian_XL]

fallout 3 or farcry 2....tough decision...

EDIT: not crysis

[SkinnyPupp]

fallout 3 or crysis 2....tough decision...
Not really... since there is no Crysis 2... unless you mean Warhead, in which case it's also an easy solution... Or if you meant Far Cry 2, again, an easy solution. Since the games are completely different genres, all you have to do is answer, do you want to play an RPG or an FPS?

Now Warhead and Far Cry 2 might be a tougher decision (although IMO the answer is Far Cry 2)

[winson604]

Personally I wouldn't waste the money on FarCry 2. IMO the game is only avg at best. If you don't mind 3rd person hit up DeadSpace. Or if the choice must be between FarCry and Fallout I suggest giving Fallout 3 a try. It ain't your typical RPG, alot more action oriented although don't mistake it for a straight up FPS since trailers and vids make some people think this.

[quasi]

I had a chance to try out fallout 3 for PC and it's a lot of fun so far. I'd highly recommend it.

[SkinnyPupp]

Actually I am quite enjoying Far Cry 2. sure, there are a few things that are annoying as fuck, but overall it's a great game. It's sort of like a FPS version of Oblivion or GTA, taking place in Africa (if any of that makes sense ;))

[wouwou]

Actually I am quite enjoying Far Cry 2. sure, there are a few things that are annoying as fuck, but overall it's a great game. It's sort of like a FPS version of Oblivion ;))

you meant Fallout 3?

Far Cry is a good game, but can it pick pocket and drop a nard in someone's back pocket?

:D

Asian_XL, you are fucking joking right?

[unit]

fallout 3... ive been dreaming about this game for 10 years.. lol
when i was 15 and playing fallout 2 i would play for like 10 hours straight on saturday/sundays lol.
the best were stimpacks and other drugs.. also the guass rifle/pistol were godly.

also downloading farcry 2 right now...

got so many games to play all of a sudden its ridic. fallout, farcry, wow, lbp...
i think i'll be hibernating for the winter

[SkinnyPupp]

Doesn't anyone fucking buy games anymore?

[unit]

i never buy computer games unless i wanna go online.. fallout is single player only so there is no point.
obviously all my console games are bought.
hey i do buy CDs though, who the hell else does that in this day & age?

[quasi]

Doesn't anyone fucking buy games anymore?

I do a mixture probably half and half. I did buy fallout 3 but I downloaded Far Cry 2. I prefer fallout but I'm a fan boy of the series even though it's not the same developers.

[ienhz]

I downloaded Far Cry 2 as well. The game is way over rated. You spend more time driving in this stupid ass game than shooting. Every mission makes you go to random places across the map. "Go to Mike's bar to get your pills" you go there and the jackass there tells you you have to go across the fucking map to a priest to get them. The game honestly just feels like a very very repetitive generic shooter. The voice acting, or should I say reading, is terrible and apparently the readers have no idea what a comma or period means. No idea how this game even got such high ratings. (I'm playing the 360 version btw)

Glad I downloaded it cause I would've cried if I spent $60 on this.

[Oversight]

I'm dl'ing FO3 right now (from Steam obviously.........), if I like it I'm gonna go buy it. I just don't wanna support Bethesda's aforementioned bastardization unless its actually good enough to play.

Fallout 2 gets my vote for best cRPG of all time BTW, I loved that shit.

[Hondaracer]

this download "from steam" is super slow.. only 3% after a night of DLing..

somone wanna PM the link in "steam" to a fast, working DL?

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

i havent touch my ps3 for months


now there is far cry 2 and other shit to pick up im hesitating which one i should buy

leaning towards Resistance 2 tho


dont know if its any good

[Narayan]

just picked up FO3 for the PS3... Will be playing it as soon as the kids go to bed

[twitchyzero]

I buy all my games, unless it has online and it's on PC.

Having that said, if any can PM a working torrent for Fallout 3 I'd appreciate it. In exchange I can link them to FarCry2 torrent :)

[AzNightmare]

At this rate, it seems both games are a bit overrated... I'm not really sure what I'm getting into then. The games aren't cheap. Fallout costs like $59.99. Most PC games are only $49.99. And I thought these were FPS games, but now it sounds like they are RPG or something??

I'm interested in games like Crysis and CoD4. So if either of these gamee aren't like that, then I guess I just saved myself $100+

[ienhz]

Far Cry 2 is an action shooter like Crysis/CoD4.

Fallout 3 is more like Oblivion.

That said, I just got Fallout 3 and I'm loving it. The humor is great, especially when doing the GOAT test at the beginning lol. I thought the graphics looked a bit off in the beginning but once you step outside the vault, everything looks beautiful and I'm only playing on a 360 @ 1080p. The VATS thing is great even though I thought it would get annoying.

[endless402]

dammit, ps3 died while playing fallout 3

[unit]

awesome game so far... totally living up to my expectations, although i find that vats makes the game slightly easy at times

[cow20xx]

just downloaded fallout3 for pc but i wont get to play it until i upgrade my video card hahaha. (anyone wanna sell their 8800gt/gts?)

However, i have been playing it on xbox360, and so far i aint that hooked into it yet, mainly because it reminds me too much of oblivion and i never really like that system.
With that say, i will milk this game for a while until i finish 'aquiring' fable2 and deadspace for pc.

offtopic about fallout3's story


In the beginning when you have to escape the vault and you see amilia getting questioned by the overseer and a security guard, i decided to sneak attack them so i can take their loots and possible find something useful. Well.... I used the body targeting system and I shot the back of the overseer's head, and his fucking head FELL OFF. Totally didnt expect that, and Amilia's reaction just totally made me cracked up

[6793026]

Actually I am quite enjoying Far Cry 2. sure, there are a few things that are annoying as fuck, but overall it's a great game. It's sort of like a FPS version of Oblivion or GTA, taking place in Africa (if any of that makes sense ;))


huh?

farcry, i've heard very shitty reviews.

fallout 3 is a great series, but i'm not an RPG guy. Oblivion is pure RPG and i just gave up on that shit within the first hour. if Fallout is about the same i woudl kill myself.

i'm acuatlly on dead space and i love that game. it's like bioshock, the ONLY thing that's lacking is the ability to upgrade the amount of skills you have and bioshock = underwater world
daed space = in a space ship, hence the boring / look alike environment

[ienhz]

Yeah Dead Space is awesome. It feels more like Resident Evil 4 to me than Bioshock though.

[yangwenli]

Im a big Oblivion and fallout fan and just got FO3. Better than I expected, it really makes you feel you are in the game.

I love the turn-based, matrix style combat system especially i suck at aiming with contoller. It is all over again for me planning out skill points, perks, attribute points just like the good old days. I already started over twice when i get further, you would get out match if you didnt plan out your points carefully, the AI is pretty hard even at normal difficulty.

[AzNightmare]

I actually don't like Bioshock all that much. Maybe it's a combo of eerie setting and my weapons just don't seem sufficient enough. I think I just don't like the weapons actually. Didn't seem like a run & gun type of game so it didn't catch on to me.

I think I'm gonna pass on Fallout3, unless I can get a playable demo. I'm not gonna gamble on it, at least not until prices drop. As for FarCry2, I'm still thinking about it. Seems like a more boring (have to drive a vehicle around more than shoot) version of Crysis, from what information I have collected so far.

[Hondaracer]

how do i speed up download speeds with utorrent? fuck i'm only getting like 6kb/s....

[Oversight]

I finally finished dl'ing it from "Steam" last night, installed and runs perfectly.
For some reason... I got the Russian copy but theres an "update" for it called Fallout3-Trivium.

Just extract the Trivium files into the install directory and run the "fallout.crack.patch.exe" or whatever its called (its close to that) and then run the game.

Follow these instructions they worked perfectly for me.

-----------------------------------------------
Quote:1. Download any Fallout 3 (Russian/english) 2. Open up 'RUN' 3. Type in: cmd and enter it 4. Type in/Run: [dvd]:\setup /lang=en (replace [dvd] with the drive letter of where the fallout 3 image is mounted on) 5. Wait for everything to install (End will take 10-20 minutes. So don't try closing it out in the thought of it being frozen. Note: This doesn't ALWAYS happen) 6. Download Trivium crack ( http://NO DUMP SITES/files/158258102/FALLOUT3CRACK-TRiViUM.rar ) 7. Extract it 8. Copy it all into Fallout 3's installation folder 9. Run the crack file to install it 10. Go into Data folder (within the fallout 3 installation folder) 11. Select RUSSIAN.esp and rename it to english.esp 12. Run it and enjoy
-------------------------------------------



Oh and BTW, "steam" seems to be running slowly/inconsistently, the seeders are about 1/20th of the leechers so its slow going. Using Vuze I got to a constant down of about 40k-80k tho.

[hal0g0dv2]

ok wtf

has anyone elss had this problem in fallout 3
i can fucking move i am moving like a fucking grandpa, like i have been playing the game for like 3 hours like hahah it is fucking stupid and every time i go to click on a new gun it say you are overnburned or something like that, i am like half way done they game. man this fucking blows

It's called "encumbered", the higher your strength the heavier you can carry. I started over twice already and now I have only 1 STR but 10 on Perception and agilty. I would recommend people put more points in luck it is very important, i now have only 6 on luck but still getting tons of critical hits, cant imagine if you have 10 on luck.

lockpick, medical, science, and explosive are important as well, the wasteland is like a minefield, and you can unarm mines for use, xp or for money.

I just made my first custom weapon which is the shiskabab. Basicly is a faming sword made of motorcycle and oven parts. the thing is quite powerfull and very well designed by the fallout team lol

[StylinRed]

my stupid dell pre-order isnt shipping until november 11th!!!! wtf?!

i went and bought it at EB but didnt realize its $20 more at EB then the dell purchase -_-

[Hondaracer]

if i buy it off Steam can 2 different people on 2 different computers play the single player at the same time?

[wouwou]

my stupid dell pre-order isnt shipping until november 11th!!!! wtf?!

Dell Hell, havent you heard of it?

[Hondaracer]

so i bought it, played it for about 4 hours so far

it's pretty good and it looks amazing, but it's funny.. i always complain about RPG's not being "open-ended" enough, but this Oblivion style of questing doesnt really real me in.. things just seem so scattered and u use up alot of your resources doing one quest, and have nothing left for another

been exploring quite a bit, made it all the way out to the capital building but i didnt grab a checkpoint anywhere near it then fell off an overpass :(

[StylinRed]

Dell Hell, havent you heard of it?

naw never bought anything from dell before -_- never will again either :mad:




for those who were fans of the original, how does this new one stack up?

[Ch28]

The ones made by Interplay is 10x better compared to Fallout 3. Bathesda just doesn't have the same dark humour and wit that Interplay would incorporate into their games.

[turbomelon]

I have to agree. This game has the atmosphere and it is fun. Once you really get into it there's a ton of stuff to do and collect, makes you really feel like you're part of the post apoc wasteland, but it just doesn't have the awesome fallout1 or 2 feel or much humor involved. The closest thing in this game was the guy who killed himself cuz he thought he was going crazy hearing kids voices. Aside from that this game is all serious no humor. Oh and don't finish the game.. the ending is so disappointing. 200 endings my ass.. started so strong great gameplay awesome journey to the end.. and total letdown of an ending.

[ienhz]

I'm downloading Fallout 1 (free and legally!) right now.

[hal0g0dv2]

i find myself with no health all the time it sucks
have lots of ammo

[turbomelon]

lol go sleep in an empty bed. There's one in afreyu.

[Presto]

I love FO3. I do miss the humor that was present in the previous versions, but having everything in 3d is kinda cool. I started off with an hour or 2 of killing all the townspeople in Megaton. That Jericho guy is tougher than the rest, but he has no good loot.

opposite for me.. .hard to find enough ammo to kill all the mutants i come across.
health isnt so bad.. just eat all the radiated crap and take rad-x whenever you find it, also after you kill small camps of mutants or raiders, sleep in their beds till your health is full

[quasi]

I took that perk that lets you find more ammo and ever since I have way more then enough. The combat shotgun it pretty awesome at close range for slaughtering mutants, head and face shots FTW.

I really like this game although I haven't had a ton of time to play it.

[Presto]

Have fun playing no side quest :D

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

[turbomelon]

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.

[A.Jeremy]

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.

[asian_XL]

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

[Presto]

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!

[asian_XL]

hahah that is like 20 min in, what lvl are u guys? i am 13

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

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...

[chopchop]

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.

[Presto]

^^^

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

[Hondaracer]

i like the combat shotgun

[chopchop]

^^^

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

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?

[turbomelon]

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

[SkinnyPupp]

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

[SkinnyPupp]

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.

[Hondaracer]

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

[wouwou]

^VATS?

Tennpenny huh? You nasty evil person

[ienhz]

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

[turbomelon]

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

[SkinnyPupp]

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.

[yangwenli]

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.

[SkinnyPupp]

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

[quasi]

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.

[wouwou]

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).

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

[Presto]

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.

[chopchop]

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

+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]

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]

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]

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

[turbomelon]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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



I'm here to introduce you to the best damn cohort, Sergeant RL-3. I was in Tenpenny Tower stealth killing people for lulz when I told him to wait around while I went and looted some corpses I had ganked. After chopping someone's head off, I heard the unmistakable sound of the robot discharging his weapon and the sweet, sweet screams of civilians.

I come out to see Sergeant RL-3 mowing down the occupants of Tenpenny tower while yelling "DIE YOU COMMIE-LOVING BASTARDS." I am impressed but even more so when he tags a running target that's about to exit out the door, blowing his legs clean off. He celebrates by mentioning "ANOTHER GLORIOUS DAY IN THE US ARMY" as he swings around and pops off a woman's head like a champange cork.

His work done, he turns to me and tells me that it's "TIME TO HIT THE SHOWERS". And that, my friends, is why Sergeant RL-3 is a friend of mine

[SkinnyPupp]

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 :(

[turbomelon]

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.

[Ch28]

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

anyone find any of these baby carrige mines yet? ****in freaky man, a baby crying in a carrige, walk up to it and it's a ****ing dolls head stapped to a bomb

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.

[Presto]

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



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

[Hondaracer]

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...

that place is super glitched, i had her walk into a wall and fucking get stuck

[Ax2-Y]

my game has froze a couple times too. I have also gotten stuck in the air while jumping.

so far, i like the game. It is huge, eh

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]

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]

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]

^ 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]

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

[SkinnyPupp]

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..

what lvl did u get your dude 2

[SkinnyPupp]

what lvl did u get your dude 2
About 19 or so IIRC. I had 2 perks that basically made every enemy an instant kill by using VATS.

[ek-nine]

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?

[Chairman Kaga]

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]

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.

hehe, I needed more caps and stims in my game so I took out all of tenpenny tower and robbed the stores

[SkinnyPupp]

I unleashed the ghouls on them :)

[StylinRed]

dell still hasnt shipped out my order -_-

[MelonBoy]

^

[wouwou]

^

IF

Dell sends it out within 30 days :haha:

[Hondaracer]

so wtf..

my cousins telling me about finding some secret Medic Power armour that keeps you alive

he also found a crashed alien spaceship etc.

lol

[StylinRed]

hehe i wanted to do that but im worried that the isbn? wouldnt be the same

[turbomelon]

lol

I know where you can find the medic armor and as for the alien crash landing thats a random encounter.

Medic power armor is located in the sewers of old oldney

There's deathclaws a lot of deathclaws.

[ienhz]

I've been playing this game everyday for the past week. Fuck I love it.

So much random shit you can find in this game while you're doing quests lol. I stumbled upon Vault 108 and saw all these Gary clones... kinda freaky yet funny how all they say is Gary...? in different tones.

[Hondaracer]

^ if you read about the different vaults on the Brotherhood archives there's some interesting back stories for alot of them

one of them, cant remember which one was set to have it's Nuclear generator fail after 240 months, it also had "Special Conditions" of providing "no typical entertainment" and triple the defensive measures

shitty main story or not, you've gotta give them credit for the detail they go into in the smaller subsections of the game

[rubencruz]

have the power armor and all it does it yells at me... what the hell does it do?

[SkinnyPupp]

I didn't fight a single deathclaw during my first play through

[Presto]

I like how the game saves the location of all movable objects. It's also cool that dead bodies don't disappear. I've been killing traders that visit Megaton. I've built a nice little pile of bodies. I got a visit from some bounty hunters, too. They were a good source of weapons and ammo :).

[StylinRed]

OK so i decided to not wait for dell, told them to cancel my order actually, anyway i installed and patched fallout

when i try to start a new game though it just crashes to desktop.... regardless of my settings, i even turned off everything running in the background... wth is up???

im trying to run it on my laptop.. and it meets the requirements to play it -_-

anyone have any ideas?

I heard you can solve it by using the window mode instead of the full screen mode

thats kind of how fallout 1 and 2 were. the main story was good, but i really enjoyed the optional quests and random map encounters most.

[Presto]

it's just too tempting to be bad isn't it lol

I've tried to stay at Good/Very Good by upping my karma with the purified water guy and scrap metal with the water processing plant guy. I have so much scrap metal, but I can't find Walter, anymore. I think he got killed when I frenzied the protectron, and led him into town :(

I screwed myself over on the purified water from the robot servant at my place in Megaton. I sent him into a frenzy, and he got killed. I didn't think too far ahead on that move. :P

[RacePace]

hehe, you know you're truely evil when you sneak attack crit the water guys (yes, both of them) with a sledge to the back of the head, I love fallout

[StylinRed]

arghhh!! was playing it for a few hours exporing everything on my desktop and BOOOM crashed :/

thats kind of how fallout 1 and 2 were. the main story was good, but i really enjoyed the optional quests and random map encounters most.

ill give that a try thanks!

edit: tried it! Didnt work -_- i took the saved game files from my desktop and tried to see if i could "continue" with my laptop but it crashes also -_-

SIGHHHHHH

[Chairman Kaga]

the alien crash landing thats a random encounter.


No it's not

[laureate]

hehe, you know you're truely evil when you sneak attack crit the water guys (yes, both of them) with a sledge to the back of the head, I love fallout

You want evil? Go to someone's bed, wait till night time, and put a live grenade in their inventory while they're sleeping :haha::haha:

[Ch28]

I messed around with the Sandman perk. It lets you stealth kill a person while they're sleeping in bed. The little music they play when you're killing the person is awesome haha

[SkinnyPupp]

No it's not
What crash landing?

[Ch28]

What crash landing?

Probably this one

http://i34.tinypic.com/2zybw3d.jpg

thats where i went (arrow) to find the alien blaster

[turbomelon]

lol well initially I thought it was a random encounter:

after seeing this vid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iz_Xsv8rqcc

But then i later saw this vid:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTdu5ABpSEE&feature=related

so yes it does have a static location.

[Presto]

I think the UFO was a random encounter in the previous Fallouts.

[turbomelon]

yeah it was lol.. I loved that little purple bolt shooting ray gun.

[RacePace]

lol, I only used Sandman once, to kill Greta in order get Charon. At the point that you get it, I don't find it very useful, don't really need to kill random ppl just for a bit of loot

[Hondaracer]

anyone still playing?

i'm dipping in here and there, the new expansions are gonna be awsome

[jnesss]

I just started and i can't put it down.. lol.

[wouwou]

I still have started the main quest, been looting and @ level 18 on casual gaming

[jtlsw]

I unleashed the ghouls on them :)

How do you unleash the ghouls on them?

[Presto]

I've been playing with some of the mods and console commands. The increased spawn mod makes for some action-packed sorties in ghoul-infested sewers.

[jnesss]

do you guys ever use those items that give you extra ap / rad resist / damage etc? i find that i just stock them in my invy but never use them. then again i don't know what i'm doing most of the time in the game hahaha..

[Hondaracer]

ocassionally i'll just use a bunch at once when im using stimpacks etc. but not really frequently..

BTW, does anyone know how the fuck you get to the GNR plaza? i swear i cannot find the way there, i missed it on my first playthrough

[wouwou]

it took me a long ass fing time getting there. you'd have to go through the subways.. lots of traveling underground :cry:

[Hondaracer]

yea i just used cheats finally..

Operation Anchorage is kinda wack.. all it is is a simulation in a vault that u get directed to, so far not very impressed, when u kill the chinese they just vaporize and u cant loot them

[jnesss]

do you guys have a place to store your items? i heard you can just dump em anywhere in a box and come back to it?

[Presto]

do you guys have a place to store your items? i heard you can just dump em anywhere in a box and come back to it?

I just store them in my place in Megaton. I have my stuff sorted for quick access in the various storage areas.

so you have a room to yourself or something? how do i go about getting one? ahh..

[chopchop]

so you have a room to yourself or something? how do i go about getting one? ahh..


Its from doing the quest for the atomic bomb in Megaton. If you chose to defuse the bomb then you get a house in Megaton.

perfect :thumbsup:

[Hondaracer]

operation anchorage is a little more enteraining then i thought now that i've played a little bit

[Grandmaster TSE]

i just got this game today for ps3, time to spend more time with the ps3, haha

btw, hondaracer, still gotta add me...

[Ronin]

do you guys ever use those items that give you extra ap / rad resist / damage etc? i find that i just stock them in my invy but never use them. then again i don't know what i'm doing most of the time in the game hahaha..

The game is way too easy after you get that stuff. Ledoux's mask, etc...I can use VATS to fire my plasma rifle (the one you get from the android) like 7 times and that rapes anything. I'm level 20 with Grim Reaper so I could take on like 50 deathclaws if I wanted to.

[Jet]

I agree that the game gets really easy once you hit LV20 ...

So where is this vault that has the DLC ... I'm going thru my second playthrough of the game and about where you go into the Citedal now ... I'm already in LV20 ... Love using Lincohn Repeater shooting for long range ... instant kill headshots ... don't even need to use VATS ... only downside is that it uses .44 ammo which you need to stockpile so you can use it on a regular basis ...

Can't wait for the DLC in march when they up the LV to 30 ...

Turn up the difficulty to use up ammo faster. If you have the PC version, download the increased spawn mod.

sneak repeater to the head takes at most 2 hits on hard no?

[Hondaracer]

wtf..downloading stupid Windows like to get Operation Anchorage like fucked up my whole computer and Fallout 3

now in fallout my view is totally fucked, i cant zoom back in to first person view, and when i move my mouse the slighest little move, it spins the view in all directions and i cant even steer my guy in 3rd.. WTF

[Hondaracer]

anyone download The Pitt?

im probably going to tom

[wouwou]

I heard the 360 version is still buggy so I am gonna hold out for a little bit
