Nope, once you in, you are guns free.

He killed that 16 year old you're supposed to escort. Yay for abusing gameplay mechanics (16 year olds are not set to immortal because of their appearance in the tutorial, where you can fight them).

Oh lol.

SatCom relay? I think that if you activate every one you get eye candy in the form of a rain of fire from the sky.

No, he's talking about the broadcast towers that are called say 'Broadcast Tower Eta Theta' and such. I found one of them, and underneath it in a sewer system was a little locked room with a few skeletons in it and the broadcast radio that you can switch on and off.. interesting to see where how they originate and what happened to them. Anyone know morse code? There's one satcom tower (between the two) that you can activate and it nukes the surrounding area(disappointingly.), although they don't do much else. I'm guessing if you activate the other 2 you can choose where the nukes hit, or something. That's what the damn readme file said in the middle tower.
 
so is FO3 any good, or are you just playing because of the novelty and/or nostalgia?

seems a really mediocre and pussified game compared to it's predecessors.
 
If you didn't like Oblivion, you won't like Fallout 3.
 
I didnt like Oblivion much, but I love Fallout 3.

On it's own it's a fairly good shooter with RPG elements.

Don't try to hold it up to classic RPG standards, since it just utterly fails.
 
Killap will include them in the next release, though.
 
so anyone know where to find some of the bobbleheads? I only found the one in rivet city in the lab

Don't listen to Mikael, trying to play it as an FPS will result in a very quick death. Use the VATS system at distance, as well as cover and only go FPS are they really close to you and preferably using something that packs some punch like the combat shotgun.
 
I went melee with one character, and havent ever really had to use VATS. It seemed much easier to kill people actually, I was able to take out a Talon Company HQ at level 3, and everyone in Megaton at level 4.
 
Yeah, my complaint is that the game feelt kind of short, I mean, the main story always had that "urgent" feel to it. But you really should just **** it and go side questing. I think that the main story should have taken you to more places, and maybe have added some more big towns like megaton or with marketplaces like Rivet city.

I didn't like the end of the main quest, it just felt too easy,

and the idea that you couldn't contiue after just made things worse

I have a question..
Where do you find the Brotherhood?
Click to expand...
Not really a spoiler, but I don't want to take any chances: you'll find the Brotherhood base a little past mid-way in the main quest. Before then, you're not allowed to enter; it's a little West of Rivet City and the River.

I've probably put in like 20 hours into the game by now, and I still havent gotten to Rivet City for the main quest. I never really felt "urgency" in the main quest.

The only time I felt the urgency was when I rescued James out of that Virtual Reality in Vault 112, but then had to run from Vault 112 to Rivet City, which I felt was ludicrous. I assume he was an essential NPC, but if you fast travel to Rivet City, he's not there yet anyway.
 
Nah, he's there if you fast travel; you just need to wait a bit, because he spawns outside Rivet City.
 
Deathclaws are STILL ****ing badass. Bottlecap mines and Small Arms up the ass **** their shit up though. Also, Brotherhood of Steel seem to be a bunch of god damn ******s. ******s.
 
That's why I side with the Outcasts. They're the badass Brotherhood we love.

Approach them with Power Armor:

"I suppose you're gonna tell me you found it out in the wastes? Hand it over, and don't even think of asking for payment."

<3

Wrestling technology from the locals? Priceless.

And one guy at NMA pointed out WHY the world feels so artificial - there's no plausibility to it. There are no fields, no farmers, no slaughterhouses, no source of food. Not even fishermen. Everyone just is. There's no trade between settlements, no relations, nothing. Reminds me of pre-Nurglitch Neuroshima, full of badasses and no actual living humans.

'Don't you have to go hit something with a rock? Get out of here.'
 
"Shouldn't you be banging rocks together or something?"

How the hell does the Outcasts figure out that I'm not a brotherhood when I have a full power armor equipped?

Does the Outcast assholes also tells you to hand over the power armor, even if you are wearing the Enclave armor?

Actually it resembles dark age style society. There would be no trade if there was considered to be an overt amount of hostility outside of your own community. I think the only implausibility is the fact that they let outsiders into their little bubbles oh so readily, like they are inviting catastrophe.

Fact of the matter is, in Fallout's scenario of the world's end, I don't think the East Coast would be a place that was survivable outside a Vault. There wouldn't be a downtown D.C. ruins, it would just be a crater. I was surprised the freaking Washington Memorial was still standing.

The invisible walls are set in place to keep you from getting your ass handed to you in Downtown D.C. also it is more realistic that the average person wouldn't be able...or willing...to climb over a mountain of crushed concrete/glass/metal for the wonderul chance to getting eaten by a Mutant on the other side. Also it's better than flash traveling to everything just because you can, miss a lot of content, and it removes the sense of immersion.
 
Have you guys eaten 'Strange Meat' yet?
heheh

What the hell have you been doing for 20 hours?
But I know, the time to find the father is unlimited, but really, im not saying Oblivion was better, even thou i liked it alot, but the main quest did let you travel to more locations. It whouldn't have been as much of a problem if it didn't end when you finish the main quest.
 
I've mostly been playing with all the different character options. I have like four characters going on right now. Ive got an evil Heavy weapons guy, a neutral melee character, a diplomatic merchant type guy, and a goodie two shoes small arms type.

I've done the same quests over several times to see how each one plays out, and its still pretty fun each time.
 
Can someone please tell me why East Coast is so God damn backward place compared to West Coast, despite the fact that it takes decades after the event of Fallout 2? I imagined the place would've been at least a place for rebuilding the civilization, exceeding West Coast since the place is the Capital Wasteland. But no. This place is basically still stuck in dark age compared to cities in Fallout 2.
