one time i shot a bear and it flew way up into the sky and didn't come back down for like 2 minutes.

that's actually a feature.

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

  :sad: Crap why did I throw all my darts away... :tsk:

Because you're stupid?

Naw, darts weigh nothing (which is ridiculous) and there's hundreds of them lying around that there's no excuse not to horde them.

Secondly, I have no idea where to get a motorcycle gas tank.(I usually check the shops) Or for that matter, most of the parts required to make the weapons for the schematics I have.

They're pretty much everywhere if you keep your eyes peeled but they're most common in metropolis areas, suburban ruins, and junkyards.  Just find a ruined motorcycle and you're guaranteed to find the tank + handles.

I know that there is definately a motorbike along with gastank and handbrake at the Springvale Elementary School. If you go around the corner, to where that hole in the wall is (where some raiders are) there's a motorbike and stuff there.

Yes I didn't know that they could be used in a custom made weapon...thought they were misc items.

I have a fun game to play! It's called 'Who can find the most major quests/misc shit directly ripped from Fallout 1/2?'. I will go first.


I had a few more when I was joking about this with my mate on steam, but I have forgotten them all.

Also I would like to add that the giant amount of patriotism in this game is making me feel physically sick. I don't mind the 'god bless america' shit (lie), but god DAMN. It's EVERYWHERE ughhhhhh. Make it stop!

A sequel using some of the same elements as previous games in the series ! My world is in shock.

I found out something guys. You collect coins in every Mario games. Surprising isn't it.

i must admit bringing the enclave back in exactly the same way is the kind of shit people were afraid they'd do since at the end of Fallout 2 you got rid of them for the most part. they could have done something more interesting with that.

but yeah sarevok jesus christ shut the fuck up no one cares that there are similar elements in a series.

ugh did you know in fallout 2 in vault city you can pick up water purifier chips? what a load...

Normally people get beefed at inconsistencies and not consistency. Ok. Spelling both those words in a row nearly gave me a coronary.

Obviously dogmeat, who's apparently lived for over 100 years and travelled across the continent. Obviously his overly long life has taken a toll on his health and usefulness.

Dogmeat was in Fallout 2 which was 100 something years after the first game and Fallout 3 takes place 20 years after the second.  The name is just a generic placeholder for a dog companion.  There's no relation.

Quote
The Forced Evolutionary Virus to make supermutants. It's back, and it was apparently developed in a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LOCATION (a vault, rather than the VATS (lol) from Fallout 1. It's also been made totally independantly and without communication, and yet has the same name, and same results.

Satellites.  This is probably a nod to Van Buren as the original script for BI's Fallout 3 concluded with a crazy scientist who wanted to spread F.E.V. through orbital satellites.  There is a communication relay station in Fallout 3 and connections with other people in the world haven't been severed.  Tenpenny admits he came in on a boat from Britain or something.

Quote
The 'return to the vault' quest. Congratulations! You've saved your vault! They are going to prosper now, and everyone is happy again. What's your thanks? Fuck off and never come back.

That's... Fallout's... theme...

Quote
The ENCLAVE. Apparently you wiped out the president--and their main base--in Fallout 2. Apparently you were wrong. Furthermore being run by a 'president' TWICE makes no sense, as the computer has somehow (rather conveniently) gained the persona of a president by it's own will.

The Enclave is the American government that split up before the bombs hit.  Every political big wig was a member and they were all in charge of the Vault program.  You destroyed a splinter faction in Fallout 2; with 100s of vaults all across the continent I find it hard to believe that you completely crushed them by blowing up their hideout in a remote location.  Personally I think the "president" in Fallout 2 was delusional (remember the Dan Quayle guy who was INSANE) and simply called himself that as a form of patriotic control.  Besides, even if he was the true president (after 200 years of elections, no doubt) then once you killed him there would have to be someone else in the cabinet to take his place.  Fitting someone else would claim the title but it's not like it actually means anything when democracy is dead.

It's not that they are SIMILAR ELEMENTS it's that it's the EXACT SAME QUESTS and plots and shit.

It's not that they are using F.E.V, it's that this Vault claims to have researched and developed it completely by itself (though injections as well), and yet the exact same strain of the virus was around like 110 years ago in a completely different location from this vault, from people who definately were not in communication, using a completely different method of 'incubation'.

I'm with Sarevok on this one. This isn't just an irresponsible breach of canon, it's just plain dishonest. Absolutely disgusting.

Looks like Bethesda took out the quest to nuke Megaton in the Japanese release of Fallout 3.

A conversation with my former boss from Sprint:
BOSS: Hey Jerry, I couldn't help but notice your desk is always so messy compared to everyone else.
ME: Well you know what they say. Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
BOSS: *confused look* Uhm... wouldn't that mean you're further from God than the rest of us?
ME: *mischievous grin* Exactly!!!

So is this any good? From what Sarevok told me it's not (he said it's Oblivion with guns), but he's Sarevok so...

But then I really hated Oblivion and Morrowind (ughggh) and I haven't enjoyed an FPS since Doom. I loved Fallout 2 and I generally like post apocalyptic settings, but this.... what is this? Mixed reviews everywhere...

I fucking love it. Mainly just because I like post-apocalyptic settings, but the game is still cool in my eyes. If you're getting it for PC, have a look at fallout3nexus dot com. They have some really good mods, especially the realistic damage mod and the realistic food one as well. The game becomes a whole lot better with those mods, and new mods are arriving on that site every day.

The game does have flaws, as many games do, but it's good fun. Personally I think the best platform to play this on is PC, what with the availability of mods and it's just generally more fun on PC.
