sarevok i would challenge you to a fallout knowledge duel to prove you wrong but that's stupid and nerdy so i lost interest.

why are fireants a continuity fuckup?

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...

don't trust sarevok's opinion on anything he is disgusting about video games

So uh guys.
I killed a Death Claw.
I killed a Death Claw.
See I stress that, because I wasn't even sure that was possible, because most of the time I see one I run for my god given life because every single time it hits me I die. Instantly. And for some sick reason they only seem to show up when I haven't saved for awhile.
In any case, I found this schematic for a Deathclaw Gauntlet. If you head near the southwestern part of the map, there's an encampment and a dead guy or two in it. There's a little trailer and inside you'll find the schematic for the Gauntlet. I have not completed the gauntlet yet so I couldn't really tell you how it works.

Also, did anyone else find the Nuka-Cola quest where that one chick has an obsession with the stuff and some guy who acts all nice around her tells you to stop 'frontin' and get off his woman? Yeah, fun times.

Edit:
Do NOT go to Old Olney(Oldney?). DO NOT.
There are... Deathclaws.... everywhere...

I just killed a Death Claw too. They are incredibly easy, I have more trouble with Scorpions than them. But I'm level 17, so maybe that's it.

Oh, I also just got to that Nuka-Cola quest. I really don't feel like doing it, even after I bribed the guy to pay me double. It was pretty odd how right after I did that, a giant radscorpion ran up and killed him in 2 shots. At first I thought that was supposed to happen, but I loaded my quick save right before it happened and the monster didn't even show up.

When I went to Old Oldney, there was only one Deathclaw and I killed it. But then I got ambushed by the Enclave, so maybe that's why there was only one. I dunno.

Well if you're an unlucky dumbass like me, you might fall into the loose sewer grate which takes you down below into the sewer. Where they are. I mean, there SHOULD be a couple up top but there's like six in the sewers.

Man I warezed the PC version (I bought it for the 360) and god damn it looks 100% better on PC. I've got a 37" Samsung TV blahbalh HD etc and it honestly looks MUDDY on the 360, like the textures and shit are overly dark I find and there's like no anti aliasing. Maybe this is just from being upscled that much but still, it looks so much better on the PC! Then again, I never really TINKERED with my TV colours like a "true HD enthusiast" so maybe that's the problem.

So uh guys.
I killed a Death Claw.
I killed a Death Claw.es.

they're not that hard with a repaired chinese assault rifle if you leveled your character with an emphasis on small guns and accuracy perks.

the plasma rifle can kill them in one shot too if you've got high energy weapons skill

best thing to do is get hdmi i out and just do that


I bought a 360 controller and just hook my laptop up to my 37" hd tv with HDMI and woooooo it looks 100x better than any ol' xbox ever will

because it was one of those things where a guy, 100 miles away created them by himself in isolation despite the fact on the opposite side of the country, 20 years ago or whatever, someone else did the exact same thing. Fire Ants didn't crawl across the continent or whatever, some mad scientist made them in the metro tunnels of that town.

I'm pretty positive fire ants weren't in any previous Fallout.

There were FIRE GECKOS and giant ants, but fire ants are fallout 3 exclusive.

EDIT

Oh yeah, Sarevok, regarding F.E.V., if you read the messages on the computer you learn that their construction of the F.E.V. was part of their Vault Experiment as dictated by the government in 2077 or whatever just like how Vault 13 was supposed to stay closed for 200 years.  The F.E.V. in Fallout 3 is also different as it creates yellow super mutants and modified centaurs and it's only similar to western F.E.V. in name only.

And you find the GECK in Vault 87.  In Fallout 2 deathclaws give you the GECK.

How this is THE EXACT SAME QUEST is beyond me.

NERD OFFFFFF

Marcus; I believe he's saying that the objective is the same, not the process by which you do it.  Fallout 1 the object was to find the water chip (initially, at least).  And Fallout 2 your object was to find the GECK.  Fallout 3, your object is to find the water purifier(compared to the chip, by Sarevok), and the GECK.

Also, I'm finding an evil play through very hard to get through.  Not difficulty-wise, but just...  I have not desire to be evil.  Even to emotionless NPC's that litter the game.

NEEEEEEEERD

Lol I thought the same thing after I posted that but then I remembered that I'm posting on a videogame forum so I think that kinda goes without saying
