Child Item

Fallout 3

Now that we've finally got our hands on a follow-up to System Shock, the other game I've been waiting for for years is this one.

There's an interesting interview here on Eurogamer

Personally, I have a lot of confidence that they won't mess it up.

Woo, got my copy in the work-post today. I know what I'm doing tonight, that's for sure!

Is it pathetic of me that I'm kinda excited to play this?

still loving the game though though it crash abit to often on the ps3.

highlight for has to be the slaver coller.

Im playing a full on good character at the moment but I know il end up playing the game again to get some fun out of that item.

Anyone know if the

Brotherhood outcasts have any quests or a base you can visit.I have seen them around the world but only in small groups.

I just ordered this from play, reading the last few pages here I'm not sure it was such a good idea if it's so short. I can't believe the €20 difference between play and Game. Does anyone know why Game are charging so much?

Really enjoyed the game until the 'way to quick end'. Beat every side quest I found apart from 2 and just as I get to level 13 character and get the plasma rifle the game ends. I would say the game is about 1/3 the size of Oblivion. I am most bitter.

I never played any of the previous fallouts or oblivion etc. I am only in megaton too but so far so good. Seems good:)

Been getting quite a few crashes on the pc version. Mostly lockups. Got 2 on the baby stage and another just before exiting the vault. Also locked up once when the game was starting up.

I was in GAME today buying the collector's guide (it looks so nice) and i saw they have a collectors edition of fallout that isn't the pip boy tin.

It was the game with a Brotherhood of Steel figure. Looked pretty cool. Not into collecting figures but i'd say it would be nice for someone who did.

EDIT: just reading through it. I knew i messed up my characters stats/perks

Traded in Far Cry 2 for this on friday, and went on a bit of a binge. Having massive, massive amounts of fun playing as a goody two shoes character, though I plan to start again after finishing as a complete bastard.

'Now listen up, cause I'm only gonna say this once: GIVE ME THE NAUGHTY NIGHTWEAR!'

Also: 'Don't hit me!'

Its an alright main story, nothing to make you go "wow" at the end. One gripe I have with talking people out of things is that its too easy ! For example, it'd go something like this "I'm so evil, i'm going to destroy the world, its been my plan for my whole life".."No you shouldn't do this !"..."Why not ?".."'Cause its bad".."hmmmm okay then ! Thank you good sir".

It goes pretty much like that, even with main characters later in the game, takes away the feeling of actually talking someone out of a situation in a drawn out conversation, its just one or two dialogue selections after you pass a speech test.

I enjoyed the game, and I was with Sarky in hoping they wouldn't take away the fallout feeling of the previous games. I'm gonna reload a previous saved game and look around a little more, see what the criac is !

Sarky

I hate when a game skimps on the main story in order to cram in side quests. Is the main quest at least a good story?

Still, I got to play Fallout 3 for a few hours last night, and I have to say I think they did a pretty good job. I only got as far as wandering around Megaton for a while, but the feel of Fallout is there. I had massive doubts that they'd be able to carry over the atmosphere from the previous games but it looks like they pulled it off. Didn't get into much combat at all yet, but it seems ok so far.

So far it looks like they realised the horrible mistakes they made with Oblivion and fixed them. It's without doubt a Fallout game at the start, whether it stays a Fallout game for the rest I'll find out soon enough.

Anyway, first impressions are a damn sight better than I'd expected.

Pyr0

Well I didn't 100% complete all the quest, just the main story quest which when done, ends the game ! So you have to reload a previous save if you want to do all the missions, or start the game again.

Still loving it though.

Ehhh i found loads of them by accident just talking to people. Infact thres 7 notes in my inventory thingy. And i only played it about 5 - 6 hours now. To the other guy that completed the game...wtf how?? is it that short?

Holy (s)hit lads, please tell me it's not that short! :eek: Finished in 2 days?? F2 took me almost 2 months to finish, not a bloody weekend! Is it that straightforward? Or were you just concentrating on getting to the end and didn't really care about side quests? Did you get what you expected in terms of content?

i completed it in about 16 hours and i say i only touched 20% of the game, after i bet it i went off the beaten track a bit was amazed what else you can do, im gonna be a bad guy and look at all the side quests and explore the waste land

I got the PS3 version and one of the problems i noticed is when the little notification comes up to show when someone on your friends list is online or offline, the game freezes.

ps3 versions meant to be exceptionally glitchy

went with the 360 version myself based on this

Urban Legend here. The White Talon have been plaguing my travels but when you're this well armed they're somewhat beneath you.

I'm carrying two sets of Enclave armour (Tesla and regular Power Armour), plasma rifle, pistol, grenades(~12) and mines(~14); a minigun, a fatboy, a sniper rifle, a chinese assault rifle, a laser gatling gun (w/excess of 400 rounds), frag grenades(~14), a super sledge, a combat shotgun and a few pulse grenades.
I'm something of a hoarder and will try to carry as much as I can.

Does anyone else find the crippling a little flawed ? I mean, when you cripple a mutants arm, surely he won't be able to hold a minigun ? Or when you cripple a radscorpions tale, he stills uses it to hit you ! And crippling a head ? Come on, that should be a kill or even drastically reduced accuracy for the enemy and you ! Crippled legs should really slow the player and enemies down, your speed is just reduced slightly same with the enemies, especially very fast mutants or animals ! They're still able to get up close no bother !

My head was crippled for about 3 hours before I figured out how to heal body parts

Just so everyone knows, the game ends after the final quest is done, so be sure to save if you wanna look around and do more quests !

From what i seen crippling doesnt work as ehh crippling, it stops them getting a shot off so if you need to hit them again you get a free shot of sorts.

Got the good ending , went back to earlier save and going to get the bad ending and want to see what happens is

Lyons goes in

Main game is very very short in terms of actual quests , only about 6 and you done

I always found the saturation of quests in Oblivion detracted from the game. You couldn't go 100 yards without tripping over a half dozen ancient ruins, distressed peasents and daedric shrines, all within shouting distance of the Imperial City. Sort of detracted from the immersion (not that there was any shortage of other issues detracting from it).

I agree with Sarky, it was one of my major gripes with Oblivion. Having so many quests and stuff going on it made it all too much to handle at one time and was hard to keep track of whats what. Even if Fallout doesnt have as many quests it's sure fun exploring anyway.

no crashes at all so far on my vista64 + hd4870 system - bout 10 hours in. Enjoying it so far, definately feels like oblivion to me alright.... but dont mind, as I loved obliv

had the sidebar causing a graphical prob (weird scale on right hand side of the screen sometimes) - but easily solved by closing the sidebar

other then that its been smooth sailing
