Yo, I finally got Fallout 3, AND Left 4 Dead, so I am going through them both now and having a fuckin' ball!!! hooray.

Its funny, I always play through games as a good character first, then if I feel like replaying I play as a bad character.

I killed all the adults in Republic of Dave, i didnt get any "bad moments". Trying to hit the level cap at the moment, i'm level 18

So, I finally picked it up and Wow. I just got out of the Vault 101 and really it's impressive. Can't wait to continue tomorrow.

snalin · « **Reply #703 on:** 13 Jan 2009, 05:37 »

I played through it. Just recently. It was awesome. I'm not going to bother to explore everything yet, I'll wait for the last expansion pack. It's supposed to add stuff to the MQ, and I want to have a play-through were I don't sell off the 20 first bottles of Nuka-Cola Quantum I find. And pick up all pre-war books.

*spoiler*
Was I the only one that thought that the President has a bit too short story line? I was able to tell him that he ought to perform suicide because he wasn't built to be self-conscious, although nobody had ever told me that. It was like, meet the leader of the enclave, talk for two secs, and leave the exploding place behind. I never understood why the enclave guys started fighting each other in the beginning anyways. Somebody that knows?

I killed all of the adults in the Republic of Dave because he wouldn't give me the goddamn quest item that he has. that was my only real killing spree so far.

that quest where you have to collect all those keys is pretty hard not to fuck up.

i was playing as a good guy so after i colllected all the keys without killing anyone, i killed the ghoul who wanted them but for some reason it didn't count it, so that quest is totally borked and unfinishable. which sucks because i hate loose ends like that.

AngelofShadows · « **Reply #706 on:** 13 Jan 2009, 11:24 »

I hate the ending. Also, I beat the game and never got a dog.

I wanted the fucking dog. Where did I mess up?

Also, I accidently opened the door to the armory in Megaton, and all hell broke loose. I didn't take anything, I just opened the door, went in, then went out. The entire fucking town went on a "Fuck him with bullets" spree. And I was a fucking good character.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #707 on:** 13 Jan 2009, 11:30 »

You may have accidentally killed him, not saved him, or just missed him completely. I did one of the first two. Still don't know which one.

I finished that quest, then stole the keys from him afterwards and didn't lose Karma. But that quest was so morally gray along with the tenpenny tower quest (I did the keys quest before it and so tenpenny was dead and I couldn't choose the nonviolent option to finish it) brought me from like the ultimate good character to a nearly exactly neutral one. Took me a bit to work my way up to good again before level 14 (I'm trying to get the good/neutral/evil achievements in groups rather than get one here, the other there, etc.)

You can still finish it, those keys belong to certain doors.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #710 on:** 13 Jan 2009, 14:31 »

oh yeah!

i totally did finish that quest eventually. it was just frozen in my quest log at a certain point for a long time until i got that armor or whatever it was.

Melodic · « **Reply #711 on:** 13 Jan 2009, 15:41 »

It was certainly one of the more broken quests in the game. The Republic of Dave election is borked, as well. And the Tenpenny Tower zombification never goes over too well.

JD · « **Reply #712 on:** 13 Jan 2009, 17:39 »

Really? I've never had a problem with it. Doing the nuka-cola collection is really annoying.

RedLion · « **Reply #713 on:** 13 Jan 2009, 20:32 »

I've replayed this, and...nuking Megaton was actually a hell of a lot of fun. Of course, after I did that and got my reward, I blew off the heads of Burke and Tenpenny.

so who's played it? thoughts?

KvP · « **Reply #723 on:** 28 Jan 2009, 15:43 »

The word around is that it is not terribly good, there's not a lot of self-aware humor ala Tranquility Lane, and it's fairly linear in the way it's mapped out.

We'll see once I actually find time to play video games again.

Basically, it's Call of Duty with Fallout 3 graphics. Ridiculously linear and squad-based. The setting is very cool, and the visual aspect is very, very good, but the gameplay, well, it sucks.

You say that like Call of Duty sucks.

JD · « **Reply #726 on:** 28 Jan 2009, 16:53 »

Quote from: Jeans on 28 Jan 2009, 16:39

When you want Fallout, then yeah, the CoD gameplay does suck. CoD is good in its own aspects, but it is really really linear, which isn't what I want from Fallout games.

Well, that's map design and not gameplay, isn't it?

Imagine the design and options of FO3 with the combat flexibility of CoD4. Delicious.

MadassAlex · « **Reply #728 on:** 28 Jan 2009, 22:05 »

That's correct. Ergo, if you gave a game with the movement and combat flexibility of CoD4 and the map design of FO3, you'd have a very interesting game indeed.

Chesire Cat · « **Reply #729 on:** 28 Jan 2009, 22:12 »

Yes but I think you have them reversed. It will be the combat 'flexibility' of FO3 and the map design of CoD4. Sounds to me to be the weaker halves of both wholes.

MadassAlex · « **Reply #730 on:** 28 Jan 2009, 22:17 »

Yeah, I was talking hypothetically. I can see why this set up in the expansion is a weak one.

WHY IS MY XBOX STILL BROKEN I WANT TO FIGHT IN A FUTURISTIC ALASKA

snalin · « **Reply #732 on:** 30 Jan 2009, 01:16 »

How can it be anything close to a good idea to buy this now, instead of in half a year when all the expansion packs are out and we get a pack with all of them for half the price?

I played through the game rather roughly, and now I'm content to sit on my ass and wait until all the packs are out, and roll a new character. Which will be great, since that'll allow me to pick up all nuka cola, scrap metal, pre-war books and so on. And I will use the custom weapons, because the other ones just got boring. And I can roll a character with a maxed intelligence that can get me all skills to full.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #733 on:** 30 Jan 2009, 06:29 »

I will say that despite being pretty linear, I'm still having quite a bit of fun with it. Some of the character animations they made for this I didn't think were really possible given the stiffness of the models in all of their other games. Like, a few of them were on par with some of Valve's stuff. And I'm only an hour and a half or so in to it.

NotAFanOfFenders · « **Reply #734 on:** 30 Jan 2009, 09:34 »

Will the expansion change anything in the Capital Wasteland?
just wondering.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #735 on:** 30 Jan 2009, 10:10 »

It may have added something in inner DC, where the quest starts, but I hadn't been there before the DLC, so I don't know. A few new characters are there, but I don't know how much sway they have over events outside of the DLC.

Also, has anyone summoned down a tactical strike from one of the SATCOM arrays? That was pretty cool.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #736 on:** 30 Jan 2009, 10:13 »

yeah, i did.

but it was kind of a waste since i didn't know what i was doing so i just dropped it randomly. it was definitely badass though.

It's called the AutoAxe. Will it be as linear as Anchorage though? probably

I hope not, I really didn't like the way they basically made anchorage into another smaller game. I didn't like it that you could hardly react with the environment either, quite a disappointment really.

I'm not sure if that Hyper Axe or whatever is a Raider weapon. It looks like the main choice you get will be between "ugly" and "uglier."

So, I just got fallout3 a few days ago and have been playing it. It's pretty great. I'm still fairly in the beginning I believe... I blew up megaton, I killed the ghouls in the train station, and now I am currently looking for my dad in the news radio place (I forgot the name..) anyways, I cant seem to reach the location. I've been wandering around the general area for some time and have discovered a few locations but cant reach my destination. is there some other quests I should have done before? is there a certain path I should be taking?

Dimmukane · « **Reply #748 on:** 23 Feb 2009, 10:58 »

You have to head into one of the subway stations and take a walk through some old tunnels to get there first. It should be marked on your map/Pipboy.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #749 on:** 23 Feb 2009, 11:56 »

Well, my 60 hour save got overwritten so I am going to be rushing through the main quest. However, by the time that actually happens, the Broken Steel DLC should be out and I won't have to worry about being finished there.

THESE FORUMS NOW CLOSED (read only)
