War. War Never Changes: The Fallout Discussion (New Vegas & Others)

Anyone tried Point Lookout? I don't have the money right now, so I haven't yet.

I played through it. It's pretty darn good and a little different with the new enemies and stuff. The missions are pretty fun as long as you can forget you're paying 10 bucks a pop for all of these things.

Is it another 'you go into this area once and that's it' expansion? I'm kind of sick of those.

 

[bps21]

Fallout: New Vegas

Yeah. It is. This one is more interesting than the Pitt and a lot better than the Alaska one though. I actually kinda dug this one.

 

[Anakin Flair]

Heres hoping they treat it a little better than that poo that was KOTOR II

That has a lot to do with LucasArts. They wanted the game rushed out for Christmas release, and Obsidian (obviously) didn't even get a chance to finish it. There's a massive amount of stuff cut from the game/

Here's something interesting about that

A mod to COMPLETE a game. I've never heard of that before, but I can't wait to try it out.

 

[Sabre]

Fuck me they finally got the mod done.

 

[Anakin Flair]

Fallout: New Vegas

Almost done. Due this year, I think.

I hope Operation Anchorage isn't glitched. I got to the end of the Lamp Post and killed everyone, but it didn't take me back to HQ. Now there's nowhere to go.

I restarted that part of Operation Anchorage from an earlier save and did the Chimera depot first, and ended up finishing the entire DLC. For some reason, when I took the power armor, it gave me the "You Gotta Shoot 'Em in the Head!" achievement despite the fact that I had none of the keys.

 

[Sabre]

Probably a glitch which Fallout 3 is well known for, its possible to get the Power Armour in the main quest without starting the quest, as you can collect the keys just by roaming the wasteland and killing X people.

I think the original code of the game only recognizes one set of T-51B so when you grab the Winterized set it thinks you've done the "Shoot 'em in the Head" quest. That happened to me too. I hadn't even started the quest and it gave me the "quest completed" notice. Mr. Crowley wouldn't even talk to me, just kept talking about how I had fucked him over.

Just finished the main quest of Fallout 3 after months of playing it. I enjoyed the game but the end was a dud. As much as I enjoyed it, I honestly don't think I'll play it again given how much of a time hog the game is.

Broken Steel helps a lot. Fixes the crap ending (including letting you do something that makes a lot of sense) and lets you have fun blowing up the remnants of the Enclave.

The GOTY edition comes out the 13th... not very far at all. I can't wait to play this one...

 

[Sabre]

Fallout: New Vegas

Ive already traded my original Fallout 3 in preperation for the GOTY edition. Cant wait.

 

[Mik]

Fallout: New Vegas

Picked up the GOTY yesterday... I know I'm way behind on this game but it rocks so far. I taught myself how to use the VATS system by blowing the Overseer's brains out. Oops.

 

[Sabre]

That will bite you in the ass later in the game.

That's because you picked up a suit of T-51b Power Armor, which technically fulfills that quest. It's something they should have patched, but didn't.

I just bought Fallout 3 and I think I'm stuck. I decided to go on a really evil path in the first city you come across in the wasteland and the locals don't seem to like me. I can't leave the city without the remaining townspeople not killing me and I don't think I can hide.

Is there a way to run away from them?

 

[Mik]

Fallout: New Vegas

Ouch, that sounds like it sucks. In games like this and Fable I tend to be a hero, although I do lose my patience every once in awhile and murder some innocents.

Even though they are not tough or anything the first time a mole rat came running at me, I kinda jumped out of my chair a little bit. Ha.

Running really fast, mostly. At that point in the game you're too low-level to handle that many people at once. Once you get to about level 10 or 12, you can slaughter everyone in Megaton pretty easily if you like.

 

[Sabre]

Fallout: New Vegas

Just nuke the fucker.

 

[Conspiracy_Victim]

Just nuke the fucker.

Make sure you push the button at night. The mushroom cloud 'splodes reel purty at night.

 

[Master Thrasher]

I restarted at Megaton and have chosen a more pacifistic (ie less socialpathic) course.

Pretty much what's been said already, you have to run like crazy.

The way I played as my evil character was I didn't kill any of the towns people until I got a decent enough level. After that is was just killing them one by one when they were alone to make sure no one saw anything. Once I killed everybody I still nuked the place for good measure.

How so? I always kill the overseer.

I usually left him alone, but I didn't know about "Trouble on the Homefront" until my second playthrough, so it won't kill your character to blow the Overseer to bits. On the first playthrough I was hoping that your character would manage to get back in to the Vault and take over and make Amane your concubine a la Leia from early ROTJ, but no luck.

 

[Smues]

Fallout: New Vegas

I've never killed the Overseer, but I'm pretty sure even if you kill him someone else just takes his place and you can still do Trouble on the Homefront.

 

[Mik]

Fallout: New Vegas

I started over from the Vault, Overseer still dead in my case. I read online that you can still do that quest later on with the Overseer dead.

Now that I know what I'm doing it's going much smoother. I love this game.

I'm hoping I can finish it by the time Dragon Age Origins comes out but it's not looking promising.

 

[Master Thrasher]

I'm addicted to Fallout 3. It's been a time waster for me.
