Fallout 3

Exclusive to the 360 as far as i know. Maybe it might be available months from now because i think an expansion for Oblivion which was supposed to be 360 exclusive eventually made it to the PS3 as well.

I played it 8 or 9 years ago so i dont know how it holds up to the test of time.

Not very well unfortunately. I tried to play it recently and its painfully slow alot of the time, didn't get very far in it but there is a feeling of a great game in there.

Im not toatly sure about it,it is a lot like Oblivion and is a lot shorter.I have found the Crached saucer the The Terriable Shotgun AND The Experemintal MIRV and dont know what to do

and also there is a funny glitch if u can find it,in the wasteland,the man that says "DONT TALK TO ME I AM ERROR!" (And he will attack you)

I got Operation Anchorage and tbh im a bit disappointed so far. Feels like i'm playing an average first person shooter than fallout 3. Im looking forward to the next DLC as it sounds a lot better.

I posted that a month ago and you're only replying now.:eek:
I finished Operation Anchorage this morning but you revealing the plot line completely ruined the ending for me.

Only joking.:p

I found operation anchorage to be a big dissappointment. I finished it in just over two hours. A couple of the goodies you get at the end are nice.

The chinese stealth armour

But not really worth it. I hope the next one is better.

My own epic quest.

Was replaying this game on a sick day and started a new account, no sooner than I reach

super duper mart, I get the firelance spawn!

With frantic searching I realised it had landed on the roof, dogmeat confirmed this.

So,

I collected and stacked shopping carts until I could climb them to the roof, step one was use the east wall and fence corner to support my first stair, from stair 1 I transfered 9 trolleys onto the lower roof in front of the sign and got up myself, then stacking these 9 trolleys to get to the very top.

I found the

firelance

and was happy.

This took god knows how long, 2-3 hours?

Sick day eh?

I have all the saves etc. proving it, this is on xbox 360 mind, no no-clip console or any of that.

Epic.

Ciaran500 · 26-02-2009 05:03PM

How could you tell that spawned?

ShiverinEskimo · 26-02-2009 05:11PM

There's an event. You can hear a crashing sound and there's a small explosion.

Very nlucky that it landed on a roof though. What a bastard.

Stercus Accidit · 26-02-2009 05:17PM

Saw the event clear as day, and saw power cells littered around the building, there were a few on the roof too.

Pain in the ass but it felt like an achievement

noodler · 28-02-2009 04:24PM

I have just left

Vault 102

after exploring nearly every bit of the map (have only discovered around 80 locations though) and have come to the conclusion this game is unnecessarily big.

What I mean is I think the game is made artificially large (overly so) with it taking ages to traverse some sections of the map. I think they could have shaved alot of space of the map and the game would have benefitted.

Anyway how far am I from finishing now that I just left

Vault 102

and am heading for

Rivet

?

I thought I had alot more trophies to get but I realised a few are just reach such and such a level with bad/good/neutral Karma.

PS: Bloody "You gotta shoot em in the head" Quest is the buggiest thing in the world-bloody ghoul wants more keys despite the fact I have already handed them all over and killed the relevant people.

Noodler you're very close to the end now. Go and find something else to do before you go and finish it.

Thanks man. Do you think you could recommend anything? Maybe stick in a few quest suggestions I might have missed?

For example

Is there anything else to do quest wise in Paradise Falls once I got the kids out?

Yea, there's a quest called "You've gotta shoot them in the head" that's long enough and should give you an hour or two's gameplay. Speak to Mister Crowley at Underworld (The ghoul compound in the museum) to start it.

I'd recommend levelling up to level 20 to get the explorer perk. Reveals all the locations on the map.

Saves you aimlessly wandering the Wasteland looking for locations.

The best thing to do for that quest is to get all the key's and give them to Crowley. Then just follow him out of Underworld and kill him and take back the keys. (As far as i remember killing him does'nt affect your karma) Then

take these keys to the fort he mentions where you can get a special kind of power armour.

Thats brilliant. Although, they make the ameteur mistake of assuming that zombie bites are curable.

I'm also be quite good as collecting the dew off skulls in the morning

I started off intending to do that, but wasn't sure about the karma effect, so I decided to wait until something else killed him. He ended up being tougher than I realised. Although not the best navigator.
We wandered the ruins a fair bit before getting out into the countryside, and he ended up saving my life more than once. He finally succumbed to a giant radscorpion, only about an hour's walk from the fort. I'd grown used to the grumpy old guy, missed him when he was gone.

Thought afterwards it would have made a good blog - "An evening with Mr Crowley" - but then realised I'd spent the best part of 3 hours following the wandering fool and couldn't be bothered going through it again.

As soon as he stepped out of Underworld i blew his head off with a magnum. Only took 5 mins in total and more fun too.;)

You're experience with him might make a good script for a buddy comedy movie. "An Evening with Mr.Crowley", i can see it getting the oscar for best picture now.:pac:

Did it! Finally, ending was a little underwhelming but

the big robot sure as hell wasn't!

I can finally move on to Valkrya Chronicles.

I got to this too ... I wasnt very far into the game at all. Im going through it all now.

silvine · 06-03-2009 12:19PM

Yes the ending was a bit overwhelming but hopefully the third DLC will rectify that.

Most RPGs seem to bottle it when it comes to the end of the game e.g. Fable 2.

giggsy664 · 08-03-2009 02:04PM

I'm gonna do all the quests and then finish take it back. Wanna see what video sequences are added in at the end.

Chumpski · 09-03-2009 01:18PM

I started Fallout 3 at the weekend and played about 5 hours of it. I'm really pleased with the game and atmosphere so far. I think they got it spot on from the original game (played and loved Fallout about 7/8 years ago). There doesn't seem to be as much humour in the dialogue anymore but other than that it seems a brilliant sequel. Its refreshing to play a game with such a violent, adult story line after quite a few JRPGs and adventure games!

I am still messing around in Megaton. Im not sure if i'm gonna

blow it up or save it yet.
