Fallout 3 Or Election Coverage? Fallout 3 Or Election Coverage?

Fallout 3 Or Election Coverage? Fallout 3 Or Election Coverage? ...crap, I'm gonna have to stick with election coverage. I'm totally hooked on FO3.

1. I managed to play Fallout 3 until 7 pm last night

when the polls here in Ohio closed! Actually, I ended up quitting a little early when the damn game froze on me...

[jayfish]

6. I Ended Up Playing About An Hour After They Called It.

...had to listen to some of the commentary first.

2. Both!

Can't sleep, ghouls will eat me...

3. "Ghouls are people too." - Three Dog

That radio station is one of my favorite parts of this game. Three Dog is such a cool character, and hearing the encouragement, or the scathing disapproval, as you progress through the sidequests, is really well done. I just wish they had more music. Hearing, "I don't want to set the world on fire", over and over again got a little old, as did the handful of rants from Mr. President Eden.

[Ignis]

4. A music add-on download would be great

I love the music on GNR, but after the first few hundred repeats of a song...well.... :)

[YOY]

5. Glad you're enjoying it!

Did Angele find anyone else to play Warhammer with after I went to bed?

[Ignis]

7. No, those slackers won't be on until Thurs/Fri.

I thought they'd be on Wed. But I'm VERY excited to get some time in with my favorite Black Orc.

:hug:

[YOY]

8. Can I get a WHOOP WHOOP! for Ohio?

My (and yours according to your fiance) home state?

I already gave a WHOOP WHOOP! for Virginia. Screw ol' Virginny! This mofo is staying BLUUUUUUE!!!!

[Ignis]

9. I knew it was over when the Buckeye turned Blue.

WHOOP for Virginia, too! It's great to see that unbroken blue block from Maine to the Great Lakes.

[Ignis]

10. Finished my first playthrough as a good sniper.

Now on to my second playthrough as an evil slaver using unarmed and big guns.

I like the Rock-It Launcher a lot more than I should for the stats. Death by Teddy Bear! I think I'm going to have to take the Bloody Mess perk...is that wrong?

:)

[nickgutierrez]

11. It fully lives up to its name.

I mean, if you thought it was a bloody game before, just wait until your first super mutant critical headshot kill after getting the Bloody Mess perk.

:wow:

[Ignis]

12. I'm already punching the skulls right out of raiders' heads.

I can't wait to see the EXTREME option. ;)

"On a scale of one to EXTREME...."

[nickgutierrez]

13. This one goes to eleven.

:P

[nickgutierrez]

28. Speaking of extreme, have you found a town called Andale? n/t

[Ignis]

14. Just unlocked Agatha's station last night.

I was hoping for some down-home fiddle music, but all I got was classical tunes. :(

[YOY]

15. Tonight I plan on clearing out my home which apparently is a tricycle factory now.

There is something very oddly unsettling about walking around in a post nuclear game while playing in the same geo-locality as the game takes place in.

Like I said the other day though...they moved a lot of stuff.

[Ignis]

16. I nuked Megaton.

I'm a bad, bad person.

Unfortunately for them, the residents of Tenpenny Tower aren't amusing me. I just might let the Ghouls in to take over the Tower.

I still don't understand why I can't shoot lightning from my fingertips. Aren't I evil enough yet? :cry:

:evilgrin:

[YOY]

17. OH NOES!!!

If you kill Tenpenny you get good Karma though! Kill those Ghouls! They deserve it...filthy subhumans.

[Ignis]

18. (spoilers) You wanna know what's really funny?

I hacked Tenpenny's computer terminal only to discover that he's an unreconstructed Maoist spy who's only reason for establishing the Tower is to create a totalitarian base for the eventual takeover of (what's left of) America!

So do I kill the dirty Maoist spy or the dirty flesh-dribbling Ghoul? :shrug:

Who says an Evil character doesn't have tough choices to make?

[YOY]

19. How could he be a Maoist spy 200 years after the war???

I mean the Maoists aren't even a faction in the game! The Enclave as what remains of "The United States of America"...at least the Executive Branch and Military sure...but are the Chinese (or what is left of them) ever an organized force to be reckoned with?

That being said

I fully expect a nice add-on to the game like they did with Oblivion...Annapolis perhaps?

[Ignis]

20. Hey, I didn't design the game.

I just kill the characters in it.

I assume he thinks he's just lost contact with the Maotherland, and they'll be landing troops any minute now. Yup, any minute now.

[YOY]

21. 200 years after civilization fell? Some nasty plot holeage.

I mean in FO 2 there was an entire city founded by survivors of a Chinese submarine...they didn't seem to give two shits about the Maotherland.

Granted it would be hella cool if they brought them in to the story.

I kind of wonder if they will close the gap on Sulik's story like they did with Harold (and Bob).

[YOY]

22. Actually, they are in the game. I just went into one factory by Arlington Cemetary.

Buncha ghouls screaming at me in Chinese. Great weapon drops for the resale!

[jeff30997]

23. Fantastic Game! But vault 112 really made me feel bad.(Spoiler)

After over 25 years of video game killing and watching tons of horror movies I can say that when it

comes to fictitious violence I consider myself pretty hardened.And I enjoyed killing everything

I encountered in Fallout 3 until vault 112.It's really cool at first but when I began to follow

the orders of xxx and saw where it was going I tried to find another way around to get the hell out

of there before continuing.I found it,saved my game and returned to xxx because I was curious.

Gee it didn't took me long to reload my previous game.I couldn't do it.If you've been there

you know what I mean.If not maybe you'll say WTF it's no big deal but it was for me.Lol.


Now,excuse me but I got to go back to play one of the greatest game I ever played.:evilgrin:

[nickgutierrez]

24. Is that the one that is a part of the storyline?

With the creepy scientist guy?

If so - yeah, that's brutal.

[jeff30997]

25. Yes.

Tranquility lane.That was too much for me.I tinkered for a way to piss off that psychopath and get

out and it worked.Hehehe.Hint:All you have to do is listen to what the old lady is saying.

About an hour ago I met the Enclave troopers for the first time.Cool!

[nickgutierrez]

26. Yeah, I figured the old lady was probably on to something.

But the whole scenario was so weird, I had to play it out until the end, just to see how it all turns out.

[jeff30997]

27. Yeah, that's why after finding the solution...

I saved my game and went back to continue but after doing the "creative" killing (that was pretty

fun BTW) and starting the next demand of xxx I began to feel bad and said to myself "OK that's

enough" and I reloaded my saved game.And that scenario is pretty weird too.If you have a saved game

that can take you there I can PM you and tell you how to do it.

[tburnsten]

29. I can't get that damn tune down Possible Spoiler

Please PM me the solution, I don't want to follow through with that horrible little bastard's orders.

[Brucie Kibbutz]

30. From the strategy guide (spoiler)

radio,pitcher,gnome,pitcher,cinder block, gnome, bottle

[tburnsten]

31. Thank you so much

I drive home from school next friday, one of the first things I am going to do is get right back in the thick of things, and this will help out a ton.

[Brucie Kibbutz]

32. You might want to select the perk

that reveals all the locations on the map. Even with a strategy guide, there is a lot you could miss without that perk.

You still have a good portion of the main quest left but the game ends abruptly so if you want to explore, you have to get it done before completing the main quest. Unlike Oblivion, the game resets after you finish the story.

[tburnsten]

33. Oh no...

I loved exploring after Fallout 1&2, guess I'll have to stop folloing the main quest again. And how on earth do I gain access to the Citadel, is it main quest related or is there something I need to find or do first?

[nickgutierrez]

34. Yeah, that's a main quest thing. n/t

[tburnsten]

35. good to go, thnks!

[Brucie Kibbutz]

36. Look for a place named Andale.

You will find some....interesting... folks living there. :hi:

[sailor65]

37. Has anyone played the Anchorage Download yet?

I can't seem to get the radio broadcast that's supposed to trigger it, and I've had it downloaded for a while now!

[Brucie Kibbutz]

38. Try going to the Anchorage memorial.

I haven't played it yet but triggering it once you've downloaded it is a subject that's been asked about a lot on the game forums. Everybody says going near the memorial should do it.
