Has anyone else been playing this game? This is one of the best games I've played in a long time and was definitely worth the 10 year wait for another game in this franchise. I really do recommend this game if you like first person shooter/RPG open ended games. You can do whatever you want in this game without ever having do any of the main story line quests. You can spend hours and hours just exploring the vast open areas.
Here are a couple of screenshots that I took while running around a town in the D.C. Wastelands.

I just started playing. I just met up at the radio station with the BoS.
Is it possible to join the Brotherhood of Steel and get one of those armor?
-
I bought Fallout 3 on Sunday :)
I haven't gotten to far, as I have been busy.
That looks sweet!!
-
I can't bring myself to buy it, because it's such a rape of the Fallout series. They took something I loved and dumbed-it down to reach the large T-for-Teen audience, and in doing so abandoned what made the games great. :(
-
Find the town of Minefield, travel directly North about an inch on you pipboy, try and find a random spot of radiation near some rocks.
You'll find a surprise and a very very good energy weapon that criticals 95% of your enemies, and turns them to a small pile of dust.

Engine, give it a shot. I was a huge fan of the Fallout series and am absolutely addicted to Fallout 3. I think they did a bang-up job with the story line and I'm really enjoying the combat. I've been playing it non-stop for many days and it seems like I'm just scratching the surface with all the places to explore.
DJ111, thanks for that tip!
-
Engine, I've played Fallout 1, 2, Tactics and even Wasteland years ago on the Commodore 64.
Fallout 3 isn't 'dumbed down', it is a great game with alot of content that you can play as a 1st person shooter, or as turn based game with VATS.
-
NP
After i got it, i walked around DC carefree, 1 maybe 2 shots depending on distance, and poof.
Having 100 on small guns helps tenfold.
I havent even made it to Rivet City yet.
I'm gonna explore the north part of the Wasteland, now that the Deathclaws are easy to kill.
I HATE those things...
-
Oh, and yes you can get the BoS armor suits, you need to follow the main questline a ways and they train you (As long as you have Neutral/Good karma AFAIK).

Yeah stop being a retard and give it a try, I had low expectations and it IS everything a FPS fallout should be.
And YES you can become a brotherhood of steel member towards the end of the main quest.
Best game of the last 5 years hands down.

I have to agree all, fallout3 is everything is needed to be.

Above Bioshock and all?

I loved Bioshock, (and ultima underworld), but this has them beat.
By allot.

Fallout 3 bends Bioshock over and has it's way with it...

Well, then..

It's not a 'dumb downed' version of Fallout and it quite faithful to the original two games. The RPG elements are just as rich in 3 as they were in 1 and 2, the only really difference is the move from an isometric view to first person/third person view.

I just started playing. I just met up at the radio station with the BoS.
Is it possible to join the Brotherhood of Steel and get one of those armor?
I did a quest where I had to help the BoS retake the Galaxy radio station and found a dead BoS and looted his power armor. Since I didn't have the certification to wear it, I gave it to my ghoul companion along with the mini-gun and Fatboy launcher.
One hint, do not give your companion the Fatboy as he will always use it in close quarter combat.
ack-ack
-
Does this game have a two player co-op option, like in Resistance?
-
Well, then..
In fact, it has one of the more interesting aspects of bioshock, you find tapes on logs of long dead people that are disturbing, and interesting.
They tell back-story that is just back-story, like the relief volunteer logs that track the efforts to help fallout survivors until the teal leader herself dies from it.
Your reading the logs from a tent inside a refugee camp filled with skeletons, creepy... but very cool as well.
Even the weapons and other items in the world totaly remind me of Fallout one and two. They really did a great job on the game.

Hehe... yeah
A hallway + radroaches + Mininuke = ZOMFG

I have not come across a companion yet. Where do you find them?
-
I'd rather wait for Gears of War 2 or Call of Duty: World at War.
-
I have not come across a companion yet. Where do you find them?
In Megaton, you can get Jericho as a companion as long as you have negative karma but he'll stay with you even if you get your karma to Good levels. Big Town you can get another companion if you rescued the citizens from the Super Mutants but he's annoying and I ended up killing him "accidentally" when my Lincoln Repeater went off 4 times when it was "accidentally" aimed at his head. Surprisingly, I didn't get negative karma for killing him. In the Citidel, you can get a Brotherhood of Steel companion but they'll only hang around if you're good. The one I got, Charos, I found in the ghoul city Underworld. I bought out his contract from one of the merchants and is the one worth getting just to see Charon's "goodbye" to the merchant that I bought the contract from. In the Scrapyard you can pick up a dog (Dogmeat) that doesn't count towards your companion count so you can have a companion and the dog. You can use the dog to fetch you items and he'll also alert you to nearby enemies but you have to watch his health and feed him stimpacks when his health is low.

-
There is a junkyard you can pick up dogmeat at. You can buy a slavers hooker girlfriend, and you can get a supermutant budy as well.
-
I found Dogmeat, but his constant panting irritated me so I sent him away. Thanks for all the other companion tips!
-
Oh, and yes you can get the BoS armor suits, you need to follow the main questline a ways and they train you (As long as you have Neutral/Good karma AFAIK).
Now there is an idea for AH :D
If you get bad karma there is no ch200 for you. If you get horrible karma there is no comms whatsoever :D
Oh yes... and I decide what karma levels people get :)
-
Fo3 has dissapointingly few quests, there's only like 30 quests including the main story.
-

She's a good cannon fodder. I always lure enemies to shoot at the companion and then proceed to take out the enemies from behind cover. Saves alot of precious stimpaks and the companion can instantly self heal after the combat is over, just to do it again around the corner. The super mutant companion, Fawkes, is not only a huge cannon fodder, but can also pulverize the enemies in no time with his gatling laser.
-
I love the Vats system for stress relief. Vs. a gang of slavers blowing off that prostitutes head at point blank range with a chinese assault rifle just made my day.
-
Waiting to buy it for the PC. Installed fallout 2 and found a great website with a homebrew patch that fixes everything that was still buggy. Ahhh, psudo 3d graphics and gore are great! Just finished killing the evil rat god in Trapper Town.
I'll be ready for F3, oh I'll be ready!
-
Is it out for PC?
-
Yep.
-
I'll pick it up tonight.
-
Big fan of the series here :cool: Engine you have been miss informed.
I play it on the 360, put the CD in and don't worry about frame rate & video drivers issues.I found the fallout universe to be as fidel as the previous series, and definitly as entertaining. The cutie cutie 50s propaganda cynicla humor is evrywhere and still delectable. The universe is awsome to the lettle details. The way the costume, weapons, robots look is dead on to me for mthe Fallout universe.
I tried to start an evil character, after blowing up the Overseers head, I couldn't get myself to be mean to nice people :mad: My Karma is so pathetically high that people randomly show up to give me free stuff. I guess I'll have to blow up Megaton to level my Karma back down. I play on medium, and with 100 small arms I had no problem reaching Rivet City with a scoped 44, and a hunting rifle. You don't have to run guns blazing on everything that moves, I could sneack in at night, going around pockets of opposition, shooting my way out when detected.
You don't always have to have the biggest gun, and I like that.
I did picked up a BOS pwr armor, by point blank blowing the head off a BOS outcast cruising the wasteland, b ut I can't use it. I actually don't need the armor for now the way I engage enemies. Those Super Mutants crack me up, they remind me of the Orcs in Warhammer.
I love the first person, VATS switch possibilities, it's like 2 games at once. The Karma is a cool feature. I just like roaming around the wasteland exploring in my blood covered surgeon outfit with my round google leathered mask. I proceed with care, my ovaries are giggeling everytime a structure stands out on the horizon. Moreover I pick my fights and travel light. I play it Mad Max style and that's a hell of a fun.
FO3 really gives you the choice of who you want to be and how you can play with it.
-
Will you people please change the subject, I need to study and my resolve is melting like a popsicle in Scarlett Johansson's rear pocket... :furious :cry
-
I've been convinced, bought it today...installing now :).
-
i heard this uses the same engine as oblivion. is that true?
-

Yep but heavily updated and modified.
ack-ack
-
so is fallout basically a futuristic game that is like oblivion. like, do you level certain types of weapons and such? I have oblivion and loved it.
-
The Karma is a cool feature.
I've found it rather hard to get bad karma. Good karma can be gained from all around by freeing captives from super mutants, giving clean water to the beggars, which exists in multiple places. Leave the captive at it's faith and you don't get bad karma (even killing of the captive has no effect!). Tell the beggars to suck it and you don't get bad karma. Seems like blowing up Megaton and Tenpenny are the only guaranteed way to get massive bad karma, like you get massive good karma with ease. Though, then where could I store my stuff? Moira in Megaton also gives good quests with nice prizes, but I need to have a place to store my items before I get on such a long (and profitable) questing. It'd be a hell to carry all my stuff to Tenpenny afterwards, if I'd choose to blow up Megaton only after completing the quests by Moira. Besides, I have already decapitated Mr. Burke, when he attempted to kill Simms. I guess I can't stitch up the parts of his head anymore.
Compared to Oblivion it's a painfully quick game. With this bad character I've only completed two quests and gathered all the bobbleheads that I can get without following the main quest and I'm already up to level 9, only 11 levels from the cap. I could play Oblivion for days on end and still have plenty quests left and be nowhere near a level gap.
-
this game rocks...
-
I'm finding the more I know of the AI, the easier it gets. I'm able to go hunting Super Mutants in downtown DC with just a hunting rifle at level 3. Even on the toughest settng the Mutants don't learn what 'shoot and scoot' is...

At least they have an excuse unlike the raiders. Super mutants are not known for their intellect and those who are, are eventually killed by their brethens (e.g. Fawkes, Uncle Joe).
Though, Enclaves and Steelers do take cover around corners. I had this one guy from Megaton keep covering behind a wall and take shots every now and then, exposing half of himself to the enemy.

hmmm i have a unused circuite city gift card for $100. might have to go get me a copy and check this out between work and school = about 2 hrs a week lol

Fallout 3

Yea. I've played it quite a bit now. I just can't help myself to being insanely evil. I'm pretty much a serial murderer in that game lol. Status: Very Evil
You should see the chopup jobs i do on people with my trusty Ripper. then i put all their bodyparts in a shoppingcart and push it around. ill have to take a screenie of my handywork.
I love games where you can be a truly vicious / evil / amazinhunk. love the fact that when you murder characters their bodies will remain for when you come back.
Yes yes, I KNOW That I'm psycho but that means I'm not psycho because i know it. :rolleyes:
-
No it means your a cyber sociopath... lol

yea, still a bit lame that you can't kill or at least flame children in this. like that kid in rivet city, he was annoying me so i tried to use my flamer on him.. instead i just killed his drunk mom.. then made the kid run away from the city after lying to him.
i love how evil you can be in this game. hopefully there'll be loadsa mods like for oblivion.
-
:rofl :rofl :rofl Rumble you crazy bastige :D

Try going into the Talon Company Fort on very hard, those guys are nasty!
Probably the hardest guys to kill, much worse than the Enclave, BoS/Outcast, or the Super Mutants.

They don't have much armour. Only the robots are annoying. Enclaves with Tesla armor are annoying with their plasma weapons and usually accompanied by a few regular enclaves with accurate laser rifles. Sometimes they also have Deathclaw, which makes things very interesting. Deathclaws are not only annoying to kill, but try killing one when there's enclave troops taking accurate potshots at you. Super mutants aren't usually in big groups and they're pretty damn poor shots - I'm more wary of the ones with melee weapons, they're fast.

I finally started the game. My life is over.
I'm making a nasty hand to hand ninja girl. Sneak isn't very good yet but now that she's got some hand to hand perks and a powerfist she crumples anything that comes close. Playing the game on hard, we'll see if I need to bump it up to very hard soon.
Oh and the black widow/lady killer perk is awesome. I convinced burke to not blow up megaton and he wasn't even mad about it, hopefully I'll be able to get more crap outta him when I get to Tenpenny Tower.

If you can't be a rampaging homocidal maniac with no remorse in cyber space then what is the point of virtual reality at all?

This might be the best game I've ever played.. This should be the standard for future games..

I forced myself to choose between this and farcry 2, i'm starting to wish i had chosen fallout 3.
I pre-ordered left 4 dead yesterday and have been playing the demo, which is fantastic.
-
i bought it this weekend...the game really rocks!! already an update for it lol
i'm just now exploring out around megaton. i killed burke when the sherrif confronted him and then killed him. i went ahead and killed the deputy in the armory for the few weapons.
i havent had alot of time to play so im running behind everybody else :uhoh
still its a great game. one thing, i find it rather easy to get bad karma despite what some have posted. i just keep stealing stuff lol
-
You don't really need to kill those people.. It was a bit hard at first, having nothing but a BB gun, but now I've had more than enough of everything since level 8 or so. 2000+ rounds of 5mm, half a dozen miniguns, 4 flamers, 5 sniper rifles, etc.
I'm still not able to repair things myself, so I must be doing something wrong, though. There's a lot of cash to be made in repairing stuff yourself from supplies in the wild and then reselling it, I expect.
Thrila, I'm pretty sure Farcry 2 is nowhere near as good as Fallout. Fallout's already at least as good as Bioshock, for me. I won't spoil the details of why I think so..
-

You don't repair with the supplies, but with an another gun of the same class/type. You already got the supplies you need to repair one of your dear guns. Open up pitboy, get to the weapons inventory, choose a weapon to fix, press R and choose the excess weapon(s) you want to use to improve the weapon's condition.

Also, the higher your repair skill is the higher the repair percentage. With repair maxed out at 100, all my repairs result in the item being restored to 100% condition. However, there are a couple of items like the alien laser blaster that I haven't been able to repair myself and have to use a trader to do it.
Anyone get the AntAgonizer armor? Funniest armor in the game.

Repair was greyed out in pipboy last time I checked.. I have repair skill up in the 50s or 60s.

Power Armor. There's different versions of it out there I'm sure. They gave +2 or better strength in Fallout and Fallout 2.

although I loved killing that guy outside rivet city. i just had to try out my sniper rifle on his head. "PRRIIZZZ SIRRRR DO YOU HAVE SOME PURE WATER FOR ME" damn HOBO, GET A JOB!!!!!!
BLAMMO!!! HAHAHAHA its fun then u can throw his body off the bridge cause it'll be there everytime you world travel otherwise. I put the beggar outside megaton on fire but i let him live, i guess he REALLY needed water after that :lol :lol
i love this game, it's hilarious to fk with people and kill them. once im done with the storyline n all the lil quests i can find. im gonna kill every killable npc in the whole world. starting with those smug totally tubular deluded "vampires".. the family haha... theyre so dead.

Don't remember the exact name of the town, think it's something like Cambridge Commons or something like that. It's just north of the D.C. capital wastelands and you'll hear the story of the town if you tune your Pip-Boy to the Galaxy News Radio station. You'll hear the story of two people fighting, one in command of a legion of ants, the other robots. It's a quick and fun quest.

Anyone figured out if there is any way to switch weapons other than using the pipboy?
Would really love to be able to get a gernade up quickly when I'm getting hit by a couple of those supermutants with chainguns vs my assault rifle.

Are you playing xbox or computer?
For the xbox you just hit the Right Button and a D-pad direction to set it up. Not sure on PC but I'd be willing to bet they have something similar

Ghosth, if it's the PC version, pull up your PipBoy and go to weapons. Hold down a number key (1-8) and click on a weapon. Done!
Love this game! I finished it as a goody-two-shoes, now playing it as a naughty person.

You can assign hotkeys to any weapon or chems. If you're using the console version, hold the directional button down and then select what weapon or chem you want for that button. If you're using the PC version, hold down a key from 1-8 and then select a weapon or chem you want assigned to that number.

Ohhh, what a world of difference that makes!
Thanks guys!
Wasn't that impressed with the rockit launcher, other than being able to kill with garbage, then pick the same garbage back up and reload. Its cool but its not THAT cool if you know what I mean. Railgun, ehh, it has its moments. But seems to lack stopping power.
Wish flamer fuel was easier to find. That stops them dead in their tracks. Barbecue time!
Laser pistol and scoped 44mag are what I use the most. Cells are easy enough to find, or buy.
Fat boy is awesome.
DJ111 keep snooping around. Antgirl is closer to town than mechboy.
Lots of energy cells for laser pistol at his hangout.
-
I like laser and plasma rifles. laser rifle is good for taking out feral ghouls and other less stubborn targets due to low AP cost per shot, while still packing a punch. Plasma rifle packs a bigger punch and doesn't use up that much ammo, but is a waste of AP against several easy targets. Missile launcher seems to work very nice against humans, but very poorly against the mutants.
Flamer is a nice toy, but exposes you to damage and therefore I have little use for it. It works the best against several enemies at once - all the enemies in the way will get burnt.
I've also used Blackhawk, the special .44, but it uses up too much AP per shot compared to many other weapons that have about as high damage input.
Sniper rifles seem to be the worst. Lacking in ammo, damage and accuracy in VATS along with very high AP cost.
Fat boy is fun, but there isn't much ammo around :furious
-
scoped .44 is nasty. taking super mutants legs off is no problem with it, and i'm playing on hard.
-
Ghosth.. You want the .44 repeater. It's a war relic ;)
Fishu, the hunting rifle is just about perfect for the ghouls.. Works over their melon almost everytime.

you don't need AP if you have a mouse. Headshot and accurate limb leg without it. can tell how vats was made for a joypad pretty much. kinda making the game a bit too easy playing with a mouse i think but, my preferred choice anyway.

I use VATS because the guns fire faster with it than without. Gets the job done faster and.. ehm.. easier. With VATS a target only moves couple of inches and in that time you've already shot 3-4 times. Without VATS you only get to shoot once and the rest of the time you'll be reloading.

Just get the death sprint perk, Fishu. It's a perfect fit for VATS 1-shot setups.

Yeah I have it.. Grim reapers that is.

That's it.. Two shots into a ghoul's head is always enough, so you never run out of AP.. In my one game at least.

haha thats no fun :) Im an old quake player, I like to jump around n fire. heck I don't even know what I've been putting my points in. Mostly just useless toejam which looks funny.. like that lady killer stat and hired contract killer etc. anything that is quite bizarre and suits my murderous style i like.

Been playing for 2 weeks now. Best game for at least 10 years - simply love it.
I'm insanely evil - didn't blow up Megaton, instead opened up Tenpenny Tower to the local ghouls. It was pretty shocking to watch the feral ghouls chase the occupants around the place. Luckily I had been given a ghoul mask so they ignore me.

Actually, you did the world a favor by erasing the residents of the Tenpenny. Tenpenny himself is one of the biggest and most evil crooks of the wastelands.

I really wish i had purchased this and not farcry 2 now.

Find the town of Minefield, travel directly North about an inch on you pipboy, try and find a random spot of radiation near some rocks.
You'll find a surprise and a very very good energy weapon that criticals 95% of your enemies, and turns them to a small pile of dust.
Anyone able to find this.. oh btw that buzz sound you hear might be some robot shooting at you! Wow, that was too weird.
I find this game fascinating. I have not played anything remotely like it before. It is alot more free weilding than WoW and the visuals are so well done to be amazing.
Thanks for talking this one up guys, best game purchase in quite a while.

psh, why would you use the ghouls? I just murdered everyone i couldnt slap a slave collar on. I love the fact that you can sell people as slaves bahha :devil
-
I'm having a blast with the game so far. Apparently I ticked some people off in Megaton...I did kill their sheriff, but he started it. Still early on in the game, plan on cleaning out Megaton then blowing it sky high. Once I bomb the place, I'll kill Mr.Burke for his silenced 10mm pistol. That's about as far as my game plan has made it. Aside from "kill anyone who looks at me funny".
On a different note, In Megaton if you off the friendly old lady, and then proceed to dismember her, the torso she leaves is that of a seemingly fit young lady.
That sounds so wrong yet is so fun :)
-
Beat the game earlier today, but I made another save file so I could reload it at the point of no return and turn totally evul.
I am VERY happy I put my Repair to 100, Every weapon I own never drops below 95% CND. Plasma Rifle is amazing, it's hard not to get 1-shot headshot kills on human characters at any VATS range.
I tried looking for Mechguy, but got bored and gave up. Im gonna go after him later with my Gatling Laser toting Super Mutant buddy Fawkes.
Funny moment : I was heading towards Evergreen Mills from Jury Street Metro Station, I heard Fawkes (My Gatling Laser toting Super Mutant buddy) do his typical 'Eeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhh hhhhhh!!!!' that he does when hes attacking something. As soon as I hear him say that, I see him fly by me doing cartwheels and he lands on his head about 20 feet away. I turn around in horror to see a Behemoth about arms reach behind me swinging his fire hydrant at my face, I let out a manly scream as I switch to VATS and send 5 Plasma rounds into his face.
It didnt work so well and I ended up losing over half my HP and getting my entire left side crippled. He went for a second swing but I let loose 5-6 more Alien Blaster rounds and teabagged his pile of ashes that remained.
Hehe

I just got it on friday. AWSOME game! Im only at level 5 but Ive taken to huntin Deathclaws, its all about setting up the kill zones. Where was that supposed weapon though? I went north and found a radioactive dump site... No weapon though. oh and why does the sniper rifle suck so much?!
-
Yeah best I can figure is the weapon is in the Power Plant... and I am NOT going back in there for a while. :lol
There is an assault rifle in a wall cabinet right inside the door though.
Also there is a bait shop up river from the Jefferson Memorial which has a water fountain, good place to gain health back cheap.
Someone in the game development loves T-33s or better P-80s.
Land mines are your friend, and so are kill zones with land mines.
Sniper rifle does suck.. what is up with that.
Oh for the new guys, disarming the bomb in Megaton gets you a house with lockers, bed, and even a robot butler.

I'm still trying to figure out how GTO nuked Tenpenny tower. With the ghouls' help I guess..
Fencer, they prolly porked the sniper to avoid 1-shot kills ruining gameplay, like in counter-strike.
There's a number of pretty funny scenes, most recent one I got is the supply store girl, when you first visit Megaton after doing Tenpenny's work.

I forced myself to choose between this and farcry 2, i'm starting to wish i had chosen fallout 3.
I pre-ordered left 4 dead yesterday and have been playing the demo, which is fantastic.
Left 4 dead is A-W-E-S-O-M-E. I'll buy it on friday. Maybe we can share a game or 2 next WE.

While satisfying, I'm upset that if you do the final main story line quest you can't continue to free roam. I'd say thats my only complaint.

save the game in a new file just before the end then you can go back as much as you want. I'm not there yet by a long shot but thats what i intend on doing. thnks for the heads up
-
Yeah...I didn't know and so I only have the autosave from going in the last room and not being able to leave. Oh well, I'll do a slightly more evil character with some different skills focus.

has anybody gotten and used the mini-nuke yet? I just found this at the super-mart a lil north of mega. im saving it for a "special" occasion if its worth it
-
The Mini-Nuke is ammo for the Fat Man.
It launches the Mini-Nukes, not very far, by a catapult or something.
FYI : Do NOT use it in small rooms or hallways, or give it to your companions and get in a fight in a small room or hallway. :eek:

Anyone else get a kick outta "liberty prime"?
The laser it has had me rolling but when I realized he was pulling nukes from his backback and chucking them was too much. All the while: "Directive: destroy all communist chinease scum in Alaska"
Oh man, too much.
-
Nah, I searched the factory, and i rid it of all ghouls.
I also went into the robco factory and activated all the robots but i didn have the ability to reprogram them so i had to sneak my way out of a factory full of robots roaches and molerats.

It's one of the most awesome events in the game, if not the most awesome. When I played it the first time it was night and I had the GNC or whatever radio channel tuned. It was simply awesome to watch the show with the radio broadcasting a fitting music to the theme.

Engine, I've played Fallout 1, 2, Tactics and even Wasteland years ago on the Commodore 64.
Fallout 3 isn't 'dumbed down', it is a great game with alot of content that you can play as a 1st person shooter, or as turn based game with VATS.
Blaaaargh, I've been resisting, but I'll pick it up sometime on the recommendations in this thread. I'm just worried I'll be disappointed. During development I remember being dismayed by each Bethesda announcement and dev interview, because (to me) it was clear they were doing a post-Apoc Oblivion and just throwing the Fallout name on it because they spent $5m on the IP. I'm still skeptical on the non-permanent karma changes, the magical items that boost abilities (+4 Sweater Vest of Small Guns skill), the nuclear-powered cars that somehow haven't been salvaged after the apocalypse and blow up when shot at (dev interview paraphrase: "Who cares if it makes sense, if it blows up it must be fun!", the redesign of ghouls from geriatric radiation-warped oldtimers to utterly generic zombies, the changing of Supermutants from big deformed freaks into bland Schwarzenneger Orcs, etc etc etc.
God, I'm such a depressed, bitter, jaded gamer.
I'll post thoughts after I've played a bit.
-
i played the previous fallout games as well.. all these "hardcore fans" make me laugh. they really hate life, engine as an example. lighten up and slaughter some innocents in fallout3 or at least sell them to slavers.
-
You're right, I should really get back to cutting myself and sobbing softly.
bbl dudes
-
Engine, I think if you give it a try you will be happy. I was worried myself, being a huge fan of Fallout 1 and 2. Tactics, not so much ugh!
They stayed very true to the universe and I'm having trouble understanding peoples complaints that you listed.
The ghouls are still ghouls. Maybe slightly more zombie looking but I'd attribute that to simply better graphical representation. They still communicate and act like the ghouls from the previous games. They did add in "feral" ghouls, but in all honesty they fit and make good sense in the story.
The super mutants are just like they used to be. Created from human experiments to create super-soldiers. They run around terrorizing the humans. You may find a couple friendly ones, I found one wandering around the wasteland besides Fawkes that was a friendly supermutant.
The gear is well done and the engine is different, but such a good transition from all turn based to fps that I was immediately entranced by the game.
I highly recommend it. I've finished the main story with one character and now plan on turning it up to very hard and seeing how long I can last as a melee character. The hand to hand was easy once I picked up a powerfist.

near Vault 106, you should see a group of Wanderers warming up near a small fire. If they are still alive, bring up your VAT and put a bullet in each one's head. Loot them and on one of them you should find the Deathclaw schematic. Then go hunt a Deathclaw and loot it for it's claw and go to a work bench and build the Deathclaw melee weapon. You need to put points into Small Guns to make the sniper rifle more steady.

"liberty prime"
That machine is absolutely bad ass, one of the only Ai's in the game that was built for war, from day one, wouldnt allow anyone to power down its laser systems, the only thing it ever wanted was enough power to take the fight to the commies.
Did any of you notice how not only did it lob nukes, but it throws them "with great speed" like he was a 50's football star.
Absolutely awesome.

You can't nuke penny tower but you can let the ghouls in and let them kill everyone in sight. I did that and just watched as the ghouls chased the residents and slaughtered them. One resident almost made it to the front door and outside where the security team was making their last stand. Unfortunately for her, I shot her in the leg, scoring a critical and it slowed her enough for the ghouls to catch up and rip her to shreds. As for the 'Last Stand' out front? Well, I put a quick end to that with a mini-nuke.

Yea, you might be tempted to go for the peaceful solution of having the ghouls move in. its funny, after a while u go back to tenpenny and the ghouls have killed everyone, started wearing their clothes n stashed the bodies in the basement.
i like how one little act can change so much.

First Roy kills tenpenny and it's funny when you go into tenpennies room you see blood all over the place (don't forget to steal the book there :). Roy just says they had "differences".
-
Found the "super weapon"..
(Spoiler Alert)
Go north from Minefield. On the north side of the power plant is a road. Follow it east, it turns north just past the power plant. When you see railings and a break in the road start looking left (west) for something interesting, your radiation warning will kick in. Its a bit off the road.

I guess I took a different approach to Tenpenny tower. After reading what others had done I wanted to try something different.
Killed the Ghouls, then went back and after the quest was finished killed Tenpenny. Grin
Walked out of the tower free and clear whistling Dixie.

The only legitimate complaint that the reviewer had was about the molded plastic. Other than that, the guy is a major 'tard if he can't program the clock. It has three buttons, press far left one to set the clock, press middle button to set hour, press far right to set minutes, press far left again to finish. I find it mind boggling that someone would have troubles programming this clock. As for the time display, I have no troubles reading the time, my display is bright and very clear. The only dissappointment I have is that it didn't come with an alarm.

Ah well, thanks for the response. I got impatient and picked up the regular version, and have just started wandering a bit after exiting the Vault. So far, so good... Tonight I'll be installing a few mods - More detailed night sky, power armor stat rebalancing, repair using similar items (Chinese rilfe -> regular rifle, etc).
I'll hold off on my thoughts until I've played a bit more.

Have a powerful gun and blast it's head off with VATS. Of course it helps if you have a cannon fodder with you.. i mean an AI guy.
It also helps if you cripple it with a mine.

Can't remember exactly where but I'm pretty sure you'll see a crash landing and find it near there. I actually beat the game and never saw a Super Mutant Behemoth myself. I'd like to take a crack at them on very hard when I start a new game.
Fallout 3 gets a 9.9/10 from me! Only thing keeping it from 10/10 is that you can't free roam after beating the main story. My only save slot was the autosave and in the last room the door locks behind you. :mad:
-
I beat the game too, I just went back to the save before going into the cave to the vault.
-
Bodhi, almost straight west of Green Pastures waste dump, stuck between the North-South and East-West roads and mountains on that part of the map. NE of radio antenna MDPL13 and SE of Clifftop Shacks. I don't remember any high spot where you could recognize it from with a sniper rifle or something, but that's probably enough for you to easily find it.
And yeah, it's too bad they didn't work more story into it. There's plenty of material for it.

From http://fallout3nexus.com/
I'm planning on:
-Slower weapons degradation - because firing 3 clips from a magnum should not reduce it 20% (Some users report problems with different version of this, so I'll add it last and see if the game refuses to load)
http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=70
-Enhanced Night Sky - much cooler and more detailed night sky
http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=442
-Better Power Armor - because I think power armor should be the ultimate in wasteland badass apparel, and it's silly for ranger armor to be better...
http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=117
-Cross Repair Weapons - So similar weapons can repair each other, like chinese assault rifle <-> assault rifle & 10mm pistol <-> 10mm SMG
http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=183
-Cross Repair Armor - Same (Outcast <-> Power Armor, etc.)

Another easy mod, if anyone has the know-how.. Whistling for the dog to get back to you, rather than go through the whole dialog. It could be just a sound played, or an ultrasonic whistle or something.
Anyone know if you can do something with the dozen+ nukes in that bunker/building to the NW? I activated the ICBM but it looks like it doesn't do anything besides let you hear it launch?

Get the dart gun schematics and build it. (Uses radscorpion venom on the darts) (Know you know what those darts are laying around for ) :)
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Dart_Gun
The Dart Gun fires darts that have been dipped in a radscorpion's poison gland. A hit from the dart gun will instantly cripple the target's legs, making it extremely useful against fast melee opponents like Deathclaws, though it seems to be less useful against Giant Radscorpions, even though their legs are crippled by the poison.
The poisonous darts inflict decent damage on the target for 8 seconds.
In short, its the gift that keeps on giving for 8 seconds. Smaller creatures will often die from a single hit.
Larger ones will be crippled, still moving, but drastically slowing their speed. Thus allowing you to easily stay back out of its reach and kill it with any weapon you choose. Personally I favor the flamer or the Pulse rifle, but that's just me.
Once I got the Dart gun it became #1 weapon for walking around the wasteland. Not great against robots and power armor. Slows everything else down nicely. Works a real treat vs FireAnts also. Cripple em, back up, head shoot them with whatever you have ammo for.
Underground in my opinion its hard to beat the combat shotgun.

The Medic Power Armor is just a named PA suit that is supposedly to automatically inject you with Med-X. When I found it, I didn't have the PA certification to wear it so I gave it to my Ghoul companion for him to wear. I'm wearing the proto-type PA that I found in one of the fort ruins after I finally got my cert. I ended up taking back the medic PA from my Ghoul companion and selling it. My Ghoul looks better running around in a pre-war business suit and fedora.
To get the certificate to wear PA, you need to complete the main quest section where you help the scientists escape from the Jefferson Memorial after the Enclave comes in.

Yeah I was gonna mention that... Did you notice the note that goes with it, specificaly saying you don't need training to use it? Something like "Even a baby recruit could step into it with no prior training". Is that an oversight by Bethesda or something? Really crunched my nuggets to find that and not be able to use it. Seems like a great unique item to chance upon.

I hope they make a postal2 feature mod.. so you can like urinate at people and they start running around and vomiting. put people on fire then pee on them. i dont think it should be too hard. also id like to see custom items like custom ear necklace, n if you wear it people start running away from you. It's much more fun when they start running.

Do not finish the game / quest with Dad if you want to keep everything you have earned while playing

There is a mod that makes it possible to continue after the main quest is complete. There is another mod that allows you to raise the level cap as well. Raised mine to 40 so I can get more skills and perks.

He and I have F3 for PS3... I'm guessin no mods for PS3.

Pretty sure you can`t.

Look at it and press Z I think.

The Rock-It launcher is the best weapon in the game.
Nothing like shooting a wad of cash at someone.
Or..other things.
-
On the 360, you press the R3 button while you're looking at the object.

Load it up with scalpals, knives and butter knives. You can pin the head to walls with it, one of the reasons why I like to use the Rock-It and Rail Gun.

Went to Dukov's hangout, ended up killing him and the girls, then loaded the rokit with empty whiskey bottles. Had over 130 rounds of ammo by the time I was done. Only real disadvantage is to carry much ammo brings a pretty heft weight penalty.
Hadn't thought about butter knives. Good tip.
I like the railgun against supermutants. Hit em twice in the chest, then they will bend over, hit them in the top of the head once or twice and they are down.

Has no one else ditched a couple of weapons to just use the .44 rifle instead?

I usually carry almost every type of weapon, just for in case
Better be prepared than sorry :D

Nail bombs.
Heavenly goodness.

Lincoln Repeater is my main weapon for long range shots, Alien Laser Pistol for close in work.
ack-ack
-
I'm packing the Lincoln Repeater for my main Wasteland weapon.
When I get into it with Enclave or Outcasts I switch to my Plasma Rifle.
I switch between the Blackhawk .44 Mag and the Terrible Shotgun when I'm indoors.
I rarely use the Alien Blaster anymore, unless the s__t hits the fan and I need things dead now.
The T-51b armor is pretty sweet too.

Well after playing for 2 weeks, exploring not even a third of the map. I did finally finish the main story last night.
Compare to Cysis, which I ran through in 2 days then deleted off my puter since I was positive I'd never play it again.
Compare that to Fallout3 and there really is no comparison.
Love the time they lavished on the terrain. Wide open in places, yet lots of tunnels to explore, some problem solving, tons of action. I've just scratched the surface on how character changes will change gameplay. I already have a more evil female character out of the vault ready to swing into action. Just noting the differences in how others interact differently keeps things interesting.
Not to mention running around out in the wasteland at night and having a pair of Monster bears sneak up on you and scareing the living crap out of you. Or running into a pack of deathclaws in Old Olny. Still get shivers up my spine from that session.
Not to mention that I'm sure there are going to be scads of mods for this, to do anything and everything you can imagine and some you can't.
Yes Fallout 3 is a winner and will be played by me daily for a long long time to come.
Gets a 9.5 out of possible 10 from me.
Fav mods so far, I like the no bouncy grenades, the Hunting rifle to 5.56 and 10 shot clip, and the Xrepair mod that lets me use scrap, wrenchs etc to repair up my weapons.
Next on the list of things to do, more Melee and unarmed fighting.
Lots of experimenting with character choices.
Exploring ALL the map.
One question to add to this, I've noticed that I seldom use Vats, but I am leveling up quite quickly. Where someone else uses Vats a lot, and is having trouble leveling up beyond 5 or 6. Has anyone else noticed a tie in there?
Less XP for killing in Vats, or more XP for not using it? Or is it just a difference in weapons choices, and I am leveling up faster because I'm killing a lot more?
-
I actualy had a behemoth charge me outta nowhere on the second night out of 101... Still wearing the 101 jumpsuit, hehe.
Vats actualy improves accuracy on at least a few weapons, as far as I could tell. I dont know about XP, but it should be mentioned in a wiki or the manual, I'd think.
One of the things the game most needs that I don't think mods could fix are voice actors.. There's too few of em. As good as some of them are, e.g. Sarge, they're way too recycled.
-
Vats actualy improves accuracy on at least a few weapons
Besides improving rate of fire it does also improve accuracy. If you shoot an assault rifle on full auto it will be shooting each and every shot all over, but with VATS you can get every shot straight into the hole of the first bullet. However the percentage at greater ranges may be worse than what you could achieve by shooting manually, usually apparent with the single/semi fire rifles.
-
Fav mods so far, I like the no bouncy grenades
I tried that mod, but the nades didn't go anywhere. They stayed at my feet when thrown and a ! icon appeared. I had to remove that mod...

I haven't seen a difference, my biggest complaint is I had a henchman (the retired Raider from Megaton) that killed alot of the targets and I got no experience for it. I haven't used a Henchman since...
I use the Enhanced Night sky mod, the slowest experience mod (takes 4x as long to level), and the 1 day respawn rate mod. This ensures you don't cap too fast but you always have something shoot at.
-
Dogmeat can be handy, especially for roaming the wastelands. Keeps things from sneaking up behind you. When you hear that low growl stop and do a 360. Ussually its a radscorpion or bear sneaking.
Skullmoshes laser mod has some nice weapons.
Really like the Laser sniper rifle, but it makes life pretty easy. 1 shot kills on most things, even deathclaws and guys in power armor will fall to 2 well aimed shots.
Finding them was tough but eventually ran into a caravan that had them.
Also it reworked the plasma rifle into a repeating carbine. Awesome for when tons of firepower is needed.
And it reworked a laser pistol into a SMG, dumps a 30 round clip in less than 2 seconds.
Whoooooooeeeeeeeeeeee!
-
Anyone else only able to fire some guns (e.g. laser pistol, rifle) fast only in narrow ROF ranges?
And there's definitely some auto-aim going on, in average difficulty mode at least. Disabling it's probably doable with just a console command.
-
how much better is it on the PC as the Xbox? My brother got it for xbox yesterday, I have not left his house since then. Anyone else kill everyone in megaton? We slaughtered everyone and found a shed load of money and items. If you go to the blue lantern there is a floorsafe with 300 caps in. Im going to pillage it all before i set the bomb off.
-
If u play on a big screen TV like me, make sure ur buddy's Xbox is set to 1080i in the Xbox config, I found out that a lot of my friends played in 400 something.
-
I've had Fallout 3 since it's release. It'll get my vote for game of the year. I've played and beaten it under good (very) and bad (very) conditions, and they both offer 50-90 hours of extremely solid gameplay.
This game should be on your Christmas wish-list, if you're a fan of RPG/Action games, this is the one for you.
-
i dont know about the xbox resolution, will ask him thanks frenchy. I dont really do the quests unless its simple, I am following RumbleB's fine example or slaughtering anyone who annoys me. Keeping rivet city sweet to trade with. I killed some paladins to get their armour only to find out i cannot wear it. sold it for a good price. My karma is really bad, the regulators keep trying to kill me. Amazing game i wish i had it for my pc.
-
If u r really good, the Talon company guys are trying to kill you. If u are middle of the road, u kind of ok. :aok
-
talon were friendly to me untill i singled out one of their sentry and killled him for the armour. They were not happy, so we raided their base and kill them all. At the Oasis i choose to let the tree spread. then when mother leaf whatever thanked me we blew her face apart and killed all the hippies. Considering setting him on fire now but want to see if the trees grow out into the wasteland. Yes i know, im really late in this thread, we poor folk have to wait for the 3 month released discount time :D
-
That's how i played the game the first time through, I killed everyone and everything that I encountered.
-
Well I've played 4 separate characters up to level 20 now.
Finished the main quest 4 different ways. (freeplay mod)
Played it as good, bad, and neutral, and various levels of each.
I'm playing it on hardest settings now, experimenting with new hideouts, weapons, and settings.
I'm averaging 40 hours a week in Fallout3, and have been since it was released.
I'm still finding new quests, new locations, new ways of playing the game.
This character has father issues, so he's not looking for dad at all.
He didn't like the looks of Burke, so he just walked up and killed him.
Then disarmed the bomb in megaton just for spite. Then when Tenpenny sicked the talon mercs on him
walked to tenpenny tower and killed the old man. Lots of side quests but dear old dad is on his own.
Current favorite mods.
Xrepair (makes keeping weapons in repair a bunch easier, can use wrench's and scrap iron)
Better Regulator Duster (brings the regulator duster up to a more reasonable armor level)
Echo Battery charger (adds a "workbench" that lets you turn E cells into MF cells, & vice versa.
Slaver stick (works better than the mesmetron, needs no ammo, lighter)
The Hideout (puts a garage hideout, with hidden vault next to megaton, very handy, full of goodies)
I have to give the good folks at Fallout Nexus a nod.
They have IMO the most mods, and the best, and they are easy to browse.
http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/categories.php
Browse catagorys, then once the category loads I sort by upload date, descending so I see newest mods first.
I really like how people in the game treat you differently depending on how your playing it.
My good characters have people coming up to them giving them things.
Bad ones are always hearing snide comments like "thats locked for a reason"
or "I have my eye on you".
I have yet to fully map out the subway system. I've discovered different parts of it at different times.
But never really took it seriously, its almost like a separate game within the game. That sounds like a good job for my next character. :)
-
I'm in the process of exploring the entire map. Doing so is a considerably difficult task, very time consuming. I wish that once you get the explorer perk, that you'd be capable of fast traveling to any location, regardless of traveling via foot.
What's your favorite aspect/part of the game?
-
favortie aspects are the attention to detail (my god it must have taken years to make this world) and the fact that you can trade then kill em and take the money back. Everything about the game is so damn perfect i find myself shocked when i run into a small bug in terrain mapping or such like. Most games i have 100 things i would have done differently if i had made it, it's hard to find any with fallout.
-
It will be the game of the year, for sure. But I wouldn't say it's perfect, some of the glitches (numerous) are annoying, and distracting. Overall though, I'd rate it near perfection, but there will never be a perfect game, in my opinion.
Here's a quick list of things I'd ask to be changed/added:
*More interaction with unplayable allies i.e Dogmeat/Charon. Imagine being able to tell Charon to cover your six, or to ambush an approaching enemy. Also, they should be able to jump, it was funny at first watching them get stuck behind something, but with time, it grows irritating. I'd love it if this game were co-op through the story mode.
*More missions. Yes, I'm being greedy. The first time I played the game, I believe my total play time was well over 90 hours. I love games like that, when you shell out $60 for a video game, I want my moneys worth, not any of that 6 hour bs (looking at you Star Wars: Force Unleashed). Every town/location should have a side quest, or objective of some sort. I remember going through locations expecting to find some quest, or objective to be disappointed that there wasn't one.
*Combat. VATS is cool, but if you're not using it, combat gets difficult. Shooting someone in the head with VATS is 100x more effective than not using it. Better balancing on combat.
*Not being able to kill the little piss any mayor of Little Lamplight. I wanted to blow his head off.
*Weapon customization. You can build some cool, and some awful weapons. I'd like to be able to mount a scope, or silencer on the combat shotgun, or the Lincoln repeater. Or to put custom markings on your armor, like your name, or gang symbol.
*Losing karma from stealing in a lawless world is eh. I understand murdering, but stealing, even from a bad character resulting in loss of karma is kinda lame. I do like the whole karma system though, it's very original, as far as I know.
If I had more time, I'd continue with my "wish-list". There are customers in the store.

Don't you have some snow to shovel or something?
-
Hah!
First thing I did when I got here.
-
whats the most caps anyone has saved? we got just over 8000 in a safe in canterbury commons. we killed all the grown up infront of the little boy and he just hangs around and cries at us. :cry
-
Over 14,000. That was the second time through. It helps when you explore a lot of areas, and have the extra cap finding perk.

I actually thought the same thing, until I started walking everywhere. There are many things that do not show on your map at all. Walking about and exploring seems to be the best way to find them.
-
ROFL! we just gave some woman ant pheramone so she could seduce the priest and then got invited t their wedding. Oh what a wonderfull time to pull out a combat shotgun.. :devil we didnt make it out of rivet city alive.

You keep writing we. Who's we?

I'm not sure that is what they had in mind when the term, 'shotgun wedding' is used.

"*Combat. VATS is cool, but if you're not using it, combat gets difficult. Shooting someone in the head with VATS is 100x more effective than not using it. Better balancing on combat."
Actually here I have to disagree, I almost never use VATS at all. I think its a good solution for the consoles, but not really needed for the PC. In fact my biggest complaint is that I can't seem to turn auto aim off entirely. Scoped .44 mag, 2 or 3 headshots and they go down.
"*Weapon customization. You can build some cool, and some awful weapons. I'd like to be able to mount a scope, or silencer on the combat shotgun, or the Lincoln repeater. Or to put custom markings on your armor, like your name, or gang symbol."
Yes, should be able to find a unmounted scope, in perhaps poor condition and mount it on any gun in your inventory. Should be able to find 3 or 4 of them and repair one up to very long range zoom.
Modders are just getting started with what they can do. One of my characters spent 80% of his time with a Star Wars Light saber in his hand. Tis a wonderous thing slicing and dicing supermutants.
Hard on stimpacks, but fun!
*Losing karma from stealing in a lawless world is eh. I understand murdering, but stealing, even from a bad character resulting in loss of karma is kinda lame. I do like the whole karma system though, it's very original, as far as I know."
Agree, Once you kill someone, like say Dukoff, their stuff should be available to pick up with no karma loss. Their bed if any should be free to be slept in. In effect their hidey hole should become your hidey hole. At least till the landlord rekeys the door.
So no its not a perfect world, however its close enough for now. And give it another month or 2 with the Geck out. Someone will find a way to make it even better.
-
I'm hoping they release the upcoming patches for the PS3, I heard they were doing it just for the X-Box 360, which is stupid.
*Quick look confirms. The added "expansion packs" are for the PC and X-Box only. That's horribly unfair.*
-
Does anyone know if there are any books or anything about the Fallout storyline like there is for Halo? I don't get nerdy about alot, but I'm afraid I've been sucked in lol.

In case anyone is interested...Steam is having a sale on Fallout 3 till Jan 2nd for 39.99. I just bought it a couple days ago and well, Its the best game ive played since Half Life 2. I played this on my cousins PS3 last week, and I got hooked. After playing the computer version, the PS3 version looks and plays crappy. I don't know how people play FPS games with that awful controller. I guess its the old Doom player in me. I need a KB and Mouse =). Which gets me on a whole other tangent. The PS3 can easily support USB KB and Mouse yet hardly any game makers implement it!! I tried to play resistance (looked like an awesome game) but you cant use KB and Mouse. So stupid. For now my PS3 is being used mainly as a bluray player, and for a few games like GT5 Prologue and GTA4. Anything BUT FPS titles. Anyway, no matter what system you own, you wont regret getting Fallout3!!
-
After reading all these rave reviews I went and got this downloaded through Torrants.Ive had a few issues with it but it was free.I cant cross the river at all or it crashes to desktop.Anyway,Im heading out to buy it.This is one of the best games to come down the pike in ages.
Theres cheats for Caps if ya want unlimited money.Just hit the tilde and put in player.item 0000000f xxxx The x's being the number of caps.Also if ya want some skills in any area real fast,use this code advlevel It levels you up.
By and far this is worth the investment.Good game play and its unlimited as to what you can do in there.Good guy,bad guy......Im the guy with the nuke.
-
Or don't cheat and put the game on the hardest setting. Awesome game.
-
Sneak around Ol Olney at night on the hardest setting...
Yikes. :eek:
-
Im just feeling it out.Im restarting after buying it tonight and Im about to go back in with a new run.But its still nice to be able to get that ammo/.Dont hate
-
cheater
I played on hardest from the get go... damned bears and deathclaws are brutal not to talk about the behemoths.... flame thrower works great for ghouls before you get the ghoul mask.
-
I got this game about a week ago. Just amazing, and i cant stop playing. Love everything in it.
THe only problem, is that im not sure what to do... Im not really sure what to do when i free roam. LIke i go into an abandoned town and then what?
I made a good guy, and i just followed the main story quest, which gets a little boring after awhile, atleast i got power armor from it though :P.
So what do u guys do when u free roam? Where should i explore and kill and take stump and call my home? Now im just a little...bored.
edit: how do u guys also get all the slaves and cool weapons and stuff? I cant find toejam but tin cans.... And is there anything to do in megaton other then blowing it up and the stupid book quest?
I got as far as the LittleLampLight Cavern in the main quest.
-
we made an evil character and pillaged megaton down to the last bottle cap. We came out of it with close to 10k and more ammo and supplies than we could carry. Its a good idea to make a base. We used Cantubury Commons up in the north east corner. When you get there some little punk speaks to you. Just go find Uncle Roe and kill him, and his gaurds. Take all their keys and then you own the big house with a safe, fridge, wardrobe and accross the street a garage with a workbench in it. The kid will stay as you cant kill him, crying about you killing his family or something. pffft.
Once we got setup we just free roamed killing people and leveling up and collecting vast sums of caps. Rivet city is the only place that likes us, so we trade there. Break into a file cabinet in stealth mode and store your trading gear and roving trader outfit in the corner of rivet city market, so you dont have to carry it around. We robbed and murdered all the traders and scavengers we found so far.
Most fun is just running into a battle between humans and mutants and killing them all. The best level 20 perk we found was the one that regenerates your vats ap if you make a kill using it. We dont have power armour but the Rielly's Rangers give you a few quests and then reward you with their battle armour, which is good enough for anyone and easy to repair if you have 100 rep skill.
-
Anybody here try to make a melee and unarmed person?
Beucuase i got bored of shotting everything, and im thinking of starting new with a bad ass, bad karma person that slices everything up. And fights people with his bare fists? Anybody try it? Is it worth it?
-
LOL you guys have to try this if u havnt yet.
Make an new character, and make him a melee and unarmed. It sooio powerful. WIth 1 hit form a bat, i broke a guys arm, leg and knocked him out. 1 hit!
It just rapes everything if you go melee. Im looking for a sledgehammer now :P.
Try it if you havnt , its funny when the enemy goes flying.
On another note, did u guys know u can tip the cow in megaton. Go into sneak mode, go near the barhmin/cow and press e. You push it down.
-
tip the cow! lol i did not know that. Once you explore alot of places you can get small guns and mele up quite high using the comics and reading stuff.
-
After 85+ hours of gameplay, I kinda got burned out on it.
Now I'm on to Gears of War 2, I'll probably go back to Fallout 3 in a month or two.
-
Im making a melee character as soon as I get back to college. Then Im getting the liberation of anchorage mod for the xbox.
-
Someone posted way back about 7 pages that they wanted a whistle for dogmeat.
Mod was put up that does exactly that on fallout nexus site.
With the geck released, and people really starting to learn how to run it. The mods are really screaming in. Some very interesting stuff is showing up.
-
Im gonna have to use the revive cheat on Dogmeat.He keeps spotting stuff first.Now I just gotta go find em.I shot up Megaton with Jerico untill I shot the bull and he opened up on me.I had to put him down lol.This game is seriously fun.
-
Has anyone else had issues with the patch?It always freezes up every time.It looks like it tries to open the game in the patch process.
-
Someone posted way back about 7 pages that they wanted a whistle for dogmeat.
Yeah that was prolly me .. gonna make replaying the game that much more fun. No more repetitive dialog with a dog :)
-
Installed a copy on my PC. I have to run with the lowest video settings possible. Playing on VH and not seeing the mob of Super Mutant Brutes before they were just in front of me isn't the best.
But it's still worth it and totally awesome. Need to spend some time looking around at the available mods.
-
does anyone know when that operation anchorage expansion is supposed to come out for XBOX??
-
Currently I'm running the following mods.
Xrepair weapons lets you fix your weapons with scrap metal and wrench's. Truly a life saver.
Lawbringer Bountys (adds 1k in caps or more for bringing in proof that you have killed one of the top 20 bad guys in F3, List starts with Tenpenny and Burke and goes from there)
Regulator Hnew touches up the Regulator HQ a bit, adds lots of handy items.
Better Regulator Duster is another good one. Now you can wear the duster and still have armor.
(yes I like playing Regulator "good" characters)
LJD Enclave Enabled brings the Enclave soldiers into the game right away rather than waiting till you reach the point on the main quest. Be prepared, they are tough, nasty, and there is a cell of them not far from V101.
T3T Weapon Tweaks and AutoAim Companion brings a few of the standard and unique guns up a notch in damage and accuracy. Be warned, the same is true for the bad guys. I really like what this mod does for the Lincoln, and Ol Painless rifles. As well as the Reservist and Victory sniper rifles.
TheHideout puts a sweet garage with bed, storage, radio just outside Megaton.
Hidden below is a vault full of goodness, including a character that can repair to 100%, and 3 transporter tubes (Rivet City, HistoryM, and Little Lamplight) Its cool, its clean, has everything your wasteland wanderer needs.
Wasteland Revisted totally reworks the whole F3 economy. Stims are 1500 - 2k$ but are also more powerful. A single stim can take you from 20% health to 100%. Food weighs less, renames many items, almost turns F3 into a whole new experience.
ZableBlazes Companion Mod lets you turn any NPC you can have dialog with into a companion. Including companion equipment share, orders, etc.
These are just a few of the many I've tested. And these seem to work well with each other. Solid, stable, etc. Best mod single stop shop I've found is
http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/categories.php
Take the time to sign up for a free account. Will let you download larger files, etc.
They do a great job there, can't praise them enough.
I especially appreciate their "Latest Files" quick to browse, and keeps me up to date on whats new.
I still have not really found a sniper mod that completely suits me.
ShykeMiscPack comes close with his 50 cal semi auto. Not as easy to hit with, but rapid fire and large clip make it easier to survive in hostile enviorment with max difficulty.
Snipers Bliss is worth looking at, but is a bit light on damage IMO.
Too many supermutants get back up and attack after a good head shot.
-
Some of those mods seem nice but a few would make the game too easy for me.
-

I played on hardest from the get go... damned bears and deathclaws are brutal not to talk about the behemoths.... flame thrower works great for ghouls before you get the ghoul mask.
Same here. When we found old olney we were still only about level 7. Spent 40 mins reloading the same autosave right before fighting a pair of deathclaws that just kept slaughtering us.. The only game that rivals this for freak out factor is Doom 3 with the little girl's voices in dark rooms.
-
Enclave enabled makes the game tougher, much tougher actually if your out cruising in the wilderness.
Instead of just the random bear, raider, or deathclaw you have 2 - 4 guys in power armor and plasma guns that shoot first and ask questions later. And while one ties you up, the other 2 will be trying to flank you. Personally I don't wear power armor myself, slow and clumsy. So 3 good hits from a plasma and your loading a saved game.
Granted some make some parts of it easier, some just make it more interesting, or more convenient.
But thats the nice thing about mods, suit yourself.
New one posted today lets you sign up as a caravan guard, pays you in cash or karma for a completed trip.
Deathclaws and Yao's still scare the bejesus out of me at times. Especially after dark. All of a sudden your going "did I hear something breathing down my neck? Was that a footstep?" GRAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Aww crap. Keeps me coming back for more though.

Anyone play FarCry 2 yet? Almost like Fallout 3 but without the RPG elements and just as good fun. I love driving around the plains and jungle in my beat up Pinto looking car, running over other mercenaries or lighting them up with molotov cocktails and watching them run around and catching everything else on fire.
Did it to a couple or mercs that had a road block set up, one of them ran into a hut that had some other mercs and ammo stores. I laughed so hard when the guy on fire caught the ammo store on fire and blew everything up. Unfortunately, I was looking through the window and caught a significant portion of the blast myself.

Ghost,
How do you enable the mods after you move them into the data file?
-
Use the fallout launcher, where it says "Play" "Options" "Data Files" "Tech Support" and "Exit"
Click Data files, you'll get a new window pop up with "Fallout3.esm: and any other mods you've added to the data folder.
Simply check the box to have the game load it.
Then Ok, then Play
I only keep the 15 or so favorite mods in the data folder.
All the rest I keep in a folder I made called "espfiles"
Just makes it easier to keep things sorted out.
But then I LIKE playing around with different mods. I'm constantly trying new ones.

YES, i know im bumping something so old, but only because there are tools you people need to enjoy your game.
Archives validated (Fixes add on skin errors and issues runing mods.

Use the FOMM "Fall Out mod manager" to choose what file (.esp) to load first, thus avoiding conflics with mods that use the same item numbers .ect .ect.

Classic fallout weapons.(*A must have!*)

Add's tons of weapons stupidly left out by bethesda from fallout1 & 2 (A MUST HAVE)
-Also check for Better than fallout mods, as they also enhance other attributes of the game to make it look more like fallout1 & 2.-

I LOVE these above mods, as to ME fallout3 was a rape, a robbery of the classic fallout in interface setup and feel.
Hope this helps, if you whine about a bump of a old post, without checking the intell provided to make your fallout gaming more enjoyable, kick yourself in the head. And if you have any other opinions wish/wants about fall out that are negative, keep them to yourself, as this bump is only intended to provide tools for people who enjoy fallout3.

I found an add on that turns the bar in Megaton to a strip joint. It's nice to wander in, grab an ice cold bottle of Nuka-Cola and get a lap dance after a long day wondering the Wastelands.

Top 50 Fallout3 mods, grab anything that you like the sound of, you can't go wrong.
These are all proven top performers.
Autoaim adjusted so you can shoot someone in the head and not have their leg blow off, or vice versa.
http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/download.php?id=36864
Tired of doors you can't pick because your lockpick skill is too low?
Ammo containers you can't open? Or just plain suck at lockpicking?
http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/download.php?id=40378
Don't pick it, blow it! You decide the realism level after the game starts.
http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/download.php?id=35715
So you pick up a really cool weapon off a dead raider. You want to use it but its virtually useless.
You don't have time to go running off to Rivet City just to get it fixed. With this mod chances are with a few tin cans,
some wonder glue, or a box of detergant, you can fix that piece up and start killing with it.
The ultimate "make do with what you have to hand" mod.

I love this game...love it so much that the music is stuck in my head and I went to rhapsody and play listed al the song that I could. The Danny kaye song with the Andrews sisters is my fav....the one about the jungle.

Quick Q: are mods for this available on the xbox 360?
Negative.
All we get is the Operation: Anchorage DLC, right now.
"There are two more pieces of Downloadable Content in addition to Operation: Anchorage in the works. The next installment is entitled “The Pitt,” and will send the player to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, disguised as a slave in order to join, or usurp, a tribe of raiders that have taken over the steel yards there. The third DLC is called “Broken Steel.” This DLC will change the ending of the main quest of Fallout 3 and allow the player to continue their quest in the wasteland. It also raises the level cap to 30, add new foes, weaponry and allows the player to irrevocable alter the wasteland in profound new ways." - Jeff Gardiner, lead producer for Fallout 3 DLC
-
Try the 'increased spawns' mod, you end up fighting 2-6x as many enemies and sometimes the bigger stuff (like Mutant Behemoth) is thrown in as well.
Makes the game a lot more interesting when instead of seeing 2 or 3 mutants, you look around you and you're seeing more than 10.

Sorry for bumping this post...
I recently got addicted to this game and I had a few questions.
Where can I get some fun weapons? All I have at the moment are the fat man, hunting rifle, Chinese Assault Rifle, 10mm Auto Rifle (I think that's what it's called) Sniper rifle, and Combat Shotgun.
I'm level 7 and I barely have enough ammo for any of my guns, aside from my Assault Rifle, Hunting Rifle, and Shotgun.
I LOVE the shotgun. My small weapons level is somewhere around.... 50-60, with big weapons around 30, and lazer weapons untouched.
So where can I find weapons?
It's probably not too late to switch to lazer weapons or big weapons (sadly, I sold the chaingun I was using because I didn't have any ammo for it for the longest time)
Also, I was thinking of starting a melee only character, or a character that can one hit kill almost anything, but with melee. How would I go about doing this?
Where can I find some slavers?
-
Slavers at Paradise Falls. It's not too hard to spot - it's got a big cartoon effigy from some commercial franchise on top of it. Otherwise they're in the wastelands ferrying slaves.
I've tried that melee character, it's alright but you really have to work your way thru gunfire, since you can't command sidekicks to use corresponding tactics like suppressive fire. You prolly would benefit a lot (implying big skill points expense) from good sneaking ability. There's a couple of pretty good weapons. The supersledge is one of the best, if not the best. I can't recall if that one-off mechanical fist that you find in the nuke factory is classified melee or unarmed.
Overall, I found that it's pretty slim pickins till you get your hands on a supersledge.
I dunno what to recommend as far as fun guns go. I found the hunting rifle a blast, used on ghouls' heads. It kinda sounds like you need to do some more roaming and poaching/pawning. And the fat man is fun.. Dunno how you'd not like that one :)
You should look up some of the mods. There's a couple of minimal ones that are really worth it. To allow you to repair guns and items belonging to the same families (e.g. Assault and Chinese Assault), and misc stuff that's plain wrong like the Medic Prototype mech suit whose user manual says black on white that it's made so anyone can wear it without even having to be trained for it (which you only get later in the game, at a point where it's not that interesting an armor anymore), or to slow down the wear&tear to reasonable level.
-
I have the 360 version of it however...
I want to buy the PC version of either Fallout 3 or Oblivion... However, i dunno' if my computer can handle it.
-
I love Lincoln's Repeater - a .44 lever action rifle with a good punch. I can't remember where I found it - probably at the history museum. Sniper rifle is available in the Bethesda Ruins (believe that's what it's called) just across the river and NE from the Super Mart. I double check locations when I get home.

Hammer

Im borrowing the game from a friend. Ive been on it non stop. In Minefield theres an old dude that has a sniper eifle. I loved mine till it broke. Ive found going out on recon runs just to see what I can find turns into saves and cool stuff. Took ne a couple days to realize I didnt have to walk EVERYWHERE. Love this game!

Skip the Operation Anchorage DLC, it's really not all that worth it. Not that it's not fun, it's a nice little diversion but it doesn't add anything to the Fallout 3 atmosphere. The Pitt however is pretty good and worth the cost. The next DLC involves the Brotherhood of Steel and raises the level cap and lets you free roam afterwards.
There's a pretty cool MMO coming down the pipe sometime this year called Fallen Earth. From the screenshots and what I've read on the forums, it's pretty much like an online version of Fallout 3.

Has anyone ever found all of the sites to visit yet? I purchased this game two (2) months ago and I'm finally at the end. I wish you could extend past level 20 though! Or is that another item I haven't found yet?

I literally have murdered everyone that can be murdered on the map,
walked across couple of times ,theres no one left. Even my plastic surgeon and ghosts in one of those shelters, 92 i think.
-
I had Dogmeat set as unable to be killed. It gets to where he spots stuff way before I do and Dogmeat on Deathclaw isnt even close to fair. Hell.Having the dog along was one of the best parts of the game. :)

Has anyone else been playing this game? This is one of the best games I've played in a long time and was definitely worth the 10 year wait for another game in this franchise. I really do recommend this game if you like first person shooter/RPG open ended games. You can do whatever you want in this game without ever having do any of the main story line quests. You can spend hours and hours just exploring the vast open areas.
Here are a couple of screenshots that I took while running around a town in the D.C. Wastelands.

Point Lookout is by far the best of the DLC packs and highly recommended. The upcoming one looks good too, get to play with the aliens this time.

Finished the main quest and all side quests in Point Lookout.
Greatest DLC yet.
It was actually hard, there were several Reavers, Trackers, Bruisers and a few Smugglers that took a hell of a lot of ammo to kill.
And... It's freekin spooky at night... :confused:

I've found it rather hard to get bad karma. Good karma can be gained from all around by freeing captives from super mutants, giving clean water to the beggars, which exists in multiple places. Leave the captive at it's faith and you don't get bad karma (even killing of the captive has no effect!). Tell the beggars to suck it and you don't get bad karma. Seems like blowing up Megaton and Tenpenny are the only guaranteed way to get massive bad karma, like you get massive good karma with ease. Though, then where could I store my stuff? Moira in Megaton also gives good quests with nice prizes, but I need to have a place to store my items before I get on such a long (and profitable) questing. It'd be a hell to carry all my stuff to Tenpenny afterwards, if I'd choose to blow up Megaton only after completing the quests by Moira. Besides, I have already decapitated Mr. Burke, when he attempted to kill Simms. I guess I can't stitch up the parts of his head anymore.
Compared to Oblivion it's a painfully quick game. With this bad character I've only completed two quests and gathered all the bobbleheads that I can get without following the main quest and I'm already up to level 9, only 11 levels from the cap. I could play Oblivion for days on end and still have plenty quests left and be nowhere near a level gap.
thats odd
i find it extremely easy to get good or bad karma
i made a max evil character without even blowing up megaton
what is difficult is getting neutral karma and keeping it because evrything you do in the main quest effects karma depending on what i say or the people i kill.

Extremely evil all the way :aok
