This Is The Fallout 3 Thread

[KagePrototype]

Arseholes aren't allowed in this thread, thank you very much.

I'm fast approaching Level 20, and I'm getting a bit sick of my goody two-shoes, small guns character. I'm thinking of just racing to the end of the main quest and making a melee/unarmed shithead for my next play-through.

By the way, anyone found any other Behemoths? I found one

Spoiler

early in the main quest and in the Capitol

but I can't find any other ones.

 

[xombine]

Theres one in one of the locations you can find that some raiders have trapped in an electrified cage, I just can't remember the name atm.

 

[CyberPitz]

Kage is sounding a lot like me, except I'm only lvl 8 I believe. I'd love to remake with an melee/unarmed guy. I think I'm going to blow Megaton next time around, also. I never use my house there, anyway.

 

[Dalamari]

Been exploring instead of doing the main quest, having a good time

That's all

Found all five, not that hard to find if you explore.

 

[organizedcrime]

The small guns life is starting to get a bit trite, but I don't think I can find enough ammo to go the Energy Weapons route, nor would I find it particularly safe to the Melee/Un-Armed pathway.

 

[CrazyHarij]

That's the only place I found a behemoth at as well. Love the underground supermutant hideouts.

I'm heading to the memorial to do some quest, then raid my way to another vault. Put up sneak skill and steal some stuff in rivet city.

 

[CyberPitz]

Yeah, I figured I'll be an asshole the next time around. Stealing shit when I want, killing people that will help further myself....good times.

 

[Jintor]

There's one in Evergreen Mills. I was confused as hell because I thought it was Paradise Falls for a while.

 

[Kadayi]

I say it's time for a sub-forum

In all seriousness though. The thing I'm looking forward to on further playthroughs is playing around with a lot of the perk selections, and going for some of the more obscure and interesting ones. I opted for Black Widow and that's had some occasional use, given the tales of lamp light I'm quite tempted to try out out Child at Heart to see what that yields. Also I'll probably take up Burkes offer as well for Shit and giggles.

Noticed earlier on that I've hardly explored anything to the South West and West of Megaton, anything good out there?

 

[CyberPitz]

Yeah, the SW and W are pretty empty to me. I've gotta go waltzing around there some time just to see what's up.

 

[Jintor]

There's a whole string of crap down there, but the only place I found interesting was Andale.

 

[Kadayi]

I acquired the 'naughty nightwear' and some guy in Girder? wants it apparently according to an audio log I found, so I'll probably step down that way sometime to check it out.

 

[Tagaziel]

Look for Fort Independence near Fairfax Ruins.

Ah, the good old Brotherhood... not those Pentagon pussies.

 

[organizedcrime]

Well, southwest of Megaton also includes Tenpenny Tower, where a ghoul named Roy Phillips is trying to get in. Interestingly enough, nobody gives a shit if you just go upstairs and blow Tenpenny's head off.

I use my house in Megaton a lot, and often trade with Moira

I've also become a regulator and keep on getting hunted down by Talon company (they always wind up dead)

I wish more Talon company hacks would try to hunt me down, since I'm getting bored with the usual mole rats and vicious dogs in the Wasteland.

Killed everyone in Dukov's place, took the key off Dukov's body, yet it doesn't open the door behind the counter? I wonder what it opens, then.

At present, I'm trying to find a way to the Dupont station but my way is constantly blocked by rubble. Guess I'll just keep searching.

 

[knut]

Well, everyone in Megaton, Tenpenny and Rivot is now head and mostly limbless. Now what? Where else can I find a heavily populated area I can go nuts with my shotgun with? Honestly, that was the most fun I've had in the game yet.

Better yet, throw his body off the balcony into the courtyard. The brilliant, realistic Radiant AI doesn't react, even if you carve his body into kibbles and bitts with a ripper and start throwing his head onto people's tables.

I've currently skipped the first third of the game by heading to Vault 112 straight away. Mmm, Pint Sized Slasher, carving up residents mmmm....

Republic of Dave, Canterbury Commons, Bigtown, Girdershade...

 

[Jintor]

Not mine, but still lulz.

 

[knut]

Republic of Dave, Canterbury Commons, Bigtown, Girdershade...

I watched Big Town burn from afar. Well, it wasn't quite so dramatic, but I watched their suffering from the safes of a nearby hill. Good times.

 

[comoxer]

What do you guys think of the soundtrack? I think Inon Zur has done a fantastic job, some of the tracks are fairly similar to crysis but overall they really set the tone.

 

[Tagaziel]

Mark Morgan > (infinity) > Inon Zur

The orchestral score is inferior to the dark ambient tracks of Morgan. They feel like something straight out of Morrowind - definitely not Fallout.

 

[knut]

Sounded way to much like Oblivion. I'm sure everyone is getting tired of seeing me posting Oblivion-esqe this, Oblivion like that, but I thought the soundtrack was really uninspiring.

I might go for a wander out in the wastes with SAWII by Aphex Twin on. Mmm.

 

[Tagaziel]

Aphex Twin inspired Mark Morgan.

 

[knut]

Am I right in presuming Morgan did the soundtracks for other Fallout games, then? I may have to look into his works.

 

[Mirage]

Didn't he do the soundtrack for PS: T as well?

Well I suppose it makes it easier to get away with assassinating him, not needing to blast your way out and everything. Another fun fact: if you do, in fact, blast your way out and kill all the guards, the residents won't really care after a few minutes.

True choice and consequence.

It's kind of a stupid mechanic. I can eat puppies publically and everyone forgives me after a day

I only listen to GNR or enclave radio. GNR's playlist is ****ing kickass, found so many gems from that era. He's hacking and smacking and wacking...

 

[Combine Hybrid]

I like one of the battle music. The main theme isn't all that bad either.

 

[Pesmerga]

Fallout 3 is fun, but, as Penny Arcade once put it- when left with the choice to do anything, I simply choose to do nothing. It's like, here's 30 delicious flavors- choose one. I just can't pick one route and not desire the other more.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

its called replayability

 

[Pesmerga]

I'm not saying it's a game flaw, it's a human flaw that me and I know a bunch of other people have.

....choppin' that meat.

Okay I have another question, is it posible to add music to be played to the radios? When I finally get this game I'd like to add Bobby Darin songs ("Somewhereeeee....Beyoond the Seeeeaaaaa")

 

[Lucid]

Anyone else ****ing hate traveling in the subways?
They're a chore to go through, ffs.

 

[Acepilotf14]

Hit 20 a while ago. I can pretty much take down deathclaws with my bare hands.

Scavenging is the funnest thing ever. I mean it, finding little gold mines of drugs or materials is just the best thing evar.
I found this dead guy surrounded by all kinds of drugs, I was like 'score' and took his pants.

Subways are annoying until you can one-hit ghouls.

I like GNR, but dear god it got repetitive after a while. I heard one song like, 4 times in the space of 20 minutes.
Agatha's station was a welcome change. Beautiful violin.

 

[CrazyHarij]

Agatha's station? What???

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Is there any way to heal Dogmeat, does he heal automatically, or is he given a set amount of hp to work with? Would sleeping while he's with you count?
