GhostFaceKilla 0 Posted November 1, 2008 Fallout 3? Loving it. Bought it last night, for both my wife and I. We decided to go to bed this morning at 4am. I haven't played a game like that in a loooong time. Reminds me of the day Civilization 2 came out... I love my wife very much, the gorgeous darling gamer she is. (sorry, gushing, we've only been married a month!) wowo lucky you to have a partner that enjoys gaming. And good luck on the marriage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kung Fu Hung-Su 1 Posted November 1, 2008 FO3 will be easily modded just like Oblivion.Gahhh don't tell me that, now I'll have to dedicate 6 months of my life modding and writing a guide for it xD If it's any consolation, your oblivion stuff is fucking awesome ;) haha thanks! I just looked at it over on the atomic archive too, people seem to still be viewing it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
just_some_guy 0 Posted November 3, 2008 I went to bed at 4am. Loving it. Awesome game! Cool things I have done so far... defused the bomb and was given an apartment in megaton activated the security robot at the hypermart, which then killed half the raiders for me killed the overseer - dont think I was supposed to do that, but oh well found ghosts in vault 106 Where can I get a sniper rifle?

They're littered all over the place but if you head to an overpass with raiders on it, you'll find some. I'm having fun smacking nine kinds of fuck out of people with The Terrible Shotgun, a scoped .44 magnum and the minigun. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sexbox 0 Posted November 3, 2008 Yep now that my copy is working I can honestly say it is fucking awesome. I've only just completed the bit in the superdupermarket. The VATS system is frigin awesome - whenever I get a critical hit with the handgun in the head, I feel like I've just pulled off 'Fatality' in mortal kombat :P Other than that, the world they've created here is just phenominal. It is pretty much oblivion with guns, but more awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chapps 0 Posted November 3, 2008 hot diggidy dam LOVE this game. Was addicted to the first 2 and I am already addicted to this one. Went a bit nuts in Megaton though. Kinda killed almost everyone :S Should be interesting to see how my evil status will now effect future encounters. Hasn't crashed on me yet. Hi 5 to that.

just_some_guy 0 Posted November 3, 2008 I notice in my save games I am described as a 'Peacekeeper'. Which is kind of ironic because my goody-toe-shoeism got the Sherriff of Megaton killed and made his son an orphan :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sneddo 0 Posted November 3, 2008 Yeah, I was a goody two-shoes too...then I exploded a nuclear weapon in a town... Anyway, the Alien blaster is my new favourite weapon, though I know I will run out of ammo eventually :( I wish I could decide on a weapon of choice, rather than holding so many at once (sydney's 10mm submachine gun, chinese assault riflie, minigun, sniper rifle, .44 scoped...one or two more as ammo dictates). Ack...2 weeks annual leave may not be enough for this game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Manta 0 Posted November 5, 2008 I wish I could decide on a weapon of choice, rather than holding so many at once (sydney's 10mm submachine gun, chinese assault riflie, minigun, sniper rifle, .44 scoped...one or two more as ammo dictates). Heh, yeah, I've got the same problem. Primarily I go the laser rifle, but so often I switch to the hunting rifle, .44, frag grenade and sawn-off shotgun as needed. And of course, when it comes to Brutes, you can't go past the Fat Man. I ended up spending the whole of last night doing what was supposed to be one little quest, because I stumbled across a bunker and so much awesome stuff I just had to explore.

TrueFlag 0 Posted November 5, 2008 what is a bit odd is how many headshots an enemy can take when its on very hard difficulty setting. very hard difficulty should entail higher accuracy and speed of enemies and the like. not heads made of granite. mod please.

That wasn't really the case with the first two fallouts xD Well, if you're playing melee focused, stealth ninja, then yeah, "Gun Nut" wouldn't make much sense ;) Some perks will obviously mesh better than others.

AccessDenied 406 Posted November 5, 2008 Gun Nut isn't too bad for a melee character. That +5 repair is bloody handy. AD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Manta 0 Posted November 5, 2008 As has been mentioned, what choice of perks works depends on the character you want to create and play. I've got an all-rounder adventurer type, so I've got a good spread of perks like lead belly, scavenger, toughness, one of the medical ones, scoundrel and a couple of the combat ones. If you were a tank, Gun Nut/the Big Guns ones would work better. if you're a science type, Daddy's Boy. All depends on what and who you want to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Specialist 0 Posted November 5, 2008 Seriously, what the hell is with people saying this all the time? Are they just suffering from post-release hype or what? "Fallout 3 is better than Half-Life and Deus Ex". What the fuck? Have you played any of the 3? Fallout 3 is a good game, but it's not great. Deus Ex and Half-Life are timeless classics. You can not compare a middling fps/rpg game that isn't even half as good as it's predecessors (Fallout 1 and 2) to greats like HL and Deus Ex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
