Don't feel you have to adhere to the quests. Just ramble, it's so much more fun that way.Oh yeah, and definitely do this. There's no quest for Junkyard. A ton of places have no quest associated with them, and even more only have a quest after you discover them. You'll miss out on a lot of game if you don't freeroam.
I can imagine this game would be better with vehicles! Driving around in a jeep like in fallout 2 would be pretty cool. I also don't think the fallout 3 DLC's are that great either...Point Lookout is pretty awesome, and Broken Steel is pretty essential if you want to keep playing. The other DLCs are forgettable. And there is a mod which adds a driveable motorcycle. The controls are a bit iffy, but you might like it.
12 minutes in. I am having fun!This is why yes, you want it to save every time you "jump into a sewer". The game is largely unpredictable, so it pays to save often unless you don't mind replaying parts.
14 minutes in. Killed by raiders
Question about distribution? I've just been piling everything into one thing with each level up. I assume it's better to do it that way because you get better at some things quite quickly than everything really slowly? That's the right thing to do correct?no. pick two or three things to level up and it also all depends on where you are in the game, certain skills make certain parts a lot easier.

Yeah, it's been fun. I'm in Megaton now. I've done a bit more exploring than I did last time. It's all been pretty fun. I'm like one hit away from death, so I guess I'll need to find a bed at some point.btw, early on in the game, before you have a house it's best to just drink radiated water (sinks are always the safest bet) and then use any RadAways you found on your travels. Let's you heal up anywhere and I think it saves money in the long run.

i liked to get drunk and play this game sometimes. i sold it all because it was bad for me but i liked to wander around and look at the desolation when i was up at 5am drunk and eating someone else's pasta from the fridge.
Hooray!and if he gives a shit about him, he can just get the puppies perk from broken steel! Woo!
I am just sorry you are on a console and he'll probably die. Boo!
that's the DLC that pretty much completes the game though, so i totaaaaally advise getting it if you finish the main quest and enjoyed itIt lets you continue the game after you finish, too, so it's definetly worth it.
Last time, I played it in third person and was a black man. This time I am a white man in first person, so it's a lot more realistic. I can relate to that a bit more.
I bet you could cross the map in like 15 minutes tho if you could just walk straight without hitting anything.
The Broken Steel add-on is fucking annoying by the way, its so glitchy. I couldn't load and every time I died I had to turn my console off to re-load my save. I think turning the radio off helps.It's sad, I love the radio but I have the PC version and it actually causes 50% of my crashes. It's so sad playing it in silence but it's either that or crashing every time the song changes :/.
or you could just listen to regular music on your computer. that is what i do in 99% of the games that i play anyways because video game soundtracks are boring

Just womndering. what difficulty did you people started playing FO on. I find it pretty hard so I hit easyI started it on Medium and adjusted as neccescary.
I just downloaded the Galaxy Radio soundtrack and listen to that in the background, mainly because I hate the out of signal quietness of the radio at the beginning of the game. Though I do end up missing out on the other radio things.Yeah, the music is cool but I like the whole RADIO EXPERIENCE even if 3dog's stuff is pretty repetetive. Alas!

Shut up ATARI no-one asked you.i think the music that 3dog plays is a really good soundtrack for the game. it's not as emotionally fitting as mark morgan's original soundtrack was for the first two, but most of the songs are ironically appropriate much in the same way the intro songs to the first fallout games were. it can get a little tiresome listening to that, particularly if you have no tolerance whatsoever for 40s pop music, but i found that it very often added to the experience of the game.
I never listen to music while I game. i just think it takes something away from the experience. Fallout 3 doesn't have much music for a reason. Unless like, I could find some music that sounds like the end of the world. (MONO & World's End Girlfriend collab'd and it sounded like the end of the world maybe I'll try that)
the sprint mod actually makes the problems dom was talking about much worse/funnier. sprint off a tiny rock and you rocket several feet into the air!
This was best displayed in Oblivion. With enough agility or w/e you can run, jump twenty feet out, turn around, then reach the area you lept off of.... all in just over a second.
i think if the dog dies you can go back to the scrapyard and get him again. or maybe not, but at least check there because i remember there is at least a way to get him back in some form if you lose him
man i gotta get my fallout 3 copy back from my deadbeat friend who has been borrowing it for six months
it's such an hassle getting all the top end mods workinginstall fallout mod manager
this and oblivion
ugh
install fallout mod manager
install fose
download all the big mods
unrar them into /data/
open mod manager
click "play"
probably the most time consuming step is downloading them because the biggest mods are like 400 mb
Yeah, I'm basically milking Megaton for quests at the moment because I plan on killing everyone in there. It's not that I'm malicious or anything it's just I was bullied into it by older boys. I just want... everyone to die happy...
FO3 is only good when roleplaying imo. playing it AS A GAME is really terrible and bland. I also tried playing as a raider (thanks mods) and attackiomng people with raider buddies but it's so bad without the kind of TRADING and interaction.
i thought that was the point of rpgs? most rpgs would be terrible if you couldn't really BECOME THE CHARACTERhere's a gaming joke: Khelben 'BLACK STAFF' Arunsun.
i thought that was the point of rpgs? most rpgs would be terrible if you couldn't really BECOME THE CHARACTERI think FO3 is really one that you HAVE TO. Most RPGs are pretty linear and can be fun on the value of GAMES (for example KOTOR and Mass Effect are great at being games, and i think ME really works well for the medium) but you take away that aspect of FO3 and it's really terrible. If you're just playing it for completion and whatnot it really really sucks.
This is harder than it sounds!

i think ed was thinking you meant going around and killing everyone in the town individually. i've done this on random saved games just to see if i could and it can be pretty tough iirc
