Fallout 3 Gameplay Discussion

[OriginalWheelman]

Exactly. I was pissed when I found out I couldn't go back. If you go back to the steamworks the aliens respawn, but only those easy ones. Lets hope for a patch.

Now that is dedication to a game, please tell me it that's not you. What do you do when in like 2 years you decide you don't want it any more? I am a huge Legacy of Kain fan and have like 4 tattoo ideas from it but realized it would be an obscure reference.

[snwbrdr435]

Not me but i would consider getting something along the lines of it. Would be alot more subtle though something referencing it

I think if you got the fallout symbol with a vaultboy in front of it would be pretty cool.

or you could just get this...

That tattoo is dedication indeed!

[positron1]

Is it just me or does anyone else find themselves liking some of those dusty old songs that Threedog plays on Galaxy News Radio?

[MinisterofDOOM]

Some of it.

Agatha's station is 100% awesome, though. Nothing like 'splodin' heads to Bach.

[positron1]

I need to start playing Fallout again...I have no idea who Agatha is????

Then you haven't truly finished the game plus you're probably missing quite a few achievements as well. I do have to say that I'm more than a little pissed that Agatha didn't give me the Blackhawk after I finished her quest, I only have a couple more of the unique weapons to find in the main story and since she didn't give it to me and I messed up the code in the Museum of History to get the Xingyaung assault rifle, my collection won't ever be complete. Plus I think I might have accidentally used something to repair one of my other weapons b/c I didn't know it was a unique.

[positron1]

I barely scratched the surface when I finished the game but I did manage to save at a great spot to go back exlplore and find more quest and use the DLC so I'm golden.

[positron1]

By the way I just won off eBay two disks with the first four DLC's on them...I'll just get Mothership Zeta off Games For Windows Live.

[initial_jc]

this game had me so mad for so long but once i got rolling it became cool

I always used to kill the traders with the brahim(sp?) and take all their goodies

[positron1]

What's up with the Republic Of Dave and I love blowing up those Vertibirds when they try to land around me!

[MinisterofDOOM]

The Republic of Dave is weird. Just talk to the people there. Keep talking to them. You'll eventually find out what's going on, and can participate in their government operations.

And yeah, I love blowing up vertibirds. Sometimes I let them land just long enough to offload, then I blow up the bird AND the enclave troopers. Also, sometimes it's fun to let them land and watch as they get massacred by Giant Radscorpions or Deathclaws.

[positron1]

Exactly...when they land, and you can scavenge some good stuff off those guys afterwards....friggin' jerks!

[positron1]

I cleared out all the scum raiders at Evergreen Mills and opened the gates for the slaves but they will not leave and I keep hearing on the radio that there is a problem at Evergreen Mills...does my game have a glitch or something?

[positron1]

Just checked The Vault and it said that what is happening to me is what happens in the game, the slaves will not leave and people continue to say that there is a problem at Evergreen Mills....whoops!

[Dano]

Bump for an old thread. I just picked this up about a week and a half ago. The only unique weapon i've aquired is the terrible combat shotgun, but i've found the regular combat shotgun to be more useful. I did just recieve the power armor training though...

[MinisterofDOOM]

What system are you playing it on, Dan?

[Dano]

Playing it on PS3. I've finally aquired some unique weapons, have the terrible shotgun, the ultra 10mm smg, the kneecapper, the Xuyoung assault rifle, and schematics for the rock-it launcher, railway rifle, and dart gun. I can't find crutches though. just finished rescuing the kids from paradise falls, and tenpenny tower, got my ghoul mask.

Did any of you find pinkerton in the front part of rivet city? is it worth it?

[MinisterofDOOM]

Pinkerton is definitely worth finding, as that quest is part of a chain that can eventually lead to a very nice unique gun.

The dart gun is EASILY the most useful weapon in the game. Pick up every dart and box of darts you see. A single shot from the dart gun will instantly cripple the legs of your target, leaving them to amble slowly after you as you calmly back away and fire. Lets you manage MUCH tougher foes than you could normally handle. It's especially useful on Deathclaws and giant radscorpions.

[Dano]

dammit, i guess i just completed the last quest with liberty prime. suck.

[MinisterofDOOM]

Get the Broken Steel DLC. It will allow you to keep playing (even if you died at the end).

[Dano]

Is mothership zeta worth it too? i'm not getting anchorage or the other little ones.

[MinisterofDOOM]

Mothership Zeta was fun, and is a good source of alien weapons and ammo (which are otherwise extremely limited and rare). The disappointing thing about it is that once you "finish" that expansion most of the mothership locks up, so you aren't really able to keep all the loot. You can't return to your home until you finish it and escape from the ship, so you need to basically pick up everything you find and use it all to repair itself, so you at least walk out with a handful of perfect condition weapons since you can't carry everything back with you.

None of them were as good as Broken Steel, but Mothership Zeta and Point Lookout are much better than the other two. Both are very short though.
