There really aren't any fire ants in Fallout 2.  There are giant ants and tough giant ants and if you don't believe me, open up the editor.

There are fire gecko which breathe fire in Fallout 2 but fire ants are Fallout 3 exclusive.

@ The Monster - I think the Raider "Blaster Master" head gear, or something like that, has a boost to the explosives stat.
Vagrancy - Be careful who you wake up in a twenty four hour parking lot.

His name was Not Johnny -  A young man becomes a sort of superhero after a crippling injury. He

this is kinda off topic but uh... where does avatar come from because i can't stop staring at it and it motivates me for some reason.  i guess it's the endearing, child-like sense of awe and wonder with its simplistic design and bold line art.

oh... um... HEY THERE CHIIIIILDREEEEN THIS ISSS THREEEEEE DOGGG (on topic post)

I have no idea man :( I have GB of SAVED IMAGES on an external HD just if I like an image I save it and sometimes I browse through them and think THIS WOULD MAKE A COOL AVATAR.

Man, I've been playing this on medium textures with a low view distance for the last week. I just realised that my computer can handle high textures with full view distance, and damn it looks so much better.

Yeah .. as for graphics;  I'm running this on ultra with AA maxed and HDR lightening and it still runs smooth, as apposed to Oblivion which I have to run at much lower settings to overcome framelag.

So yeah, Oblivion is still graphics-wise the most unstable game , it could also be the many many mods that mess up the game; one reason to take it easy on with the fallout mods.
so you've come here for pointless ego boosting and happy sunshine glee? this aint deviantart man.

Hey. I know uh, Fallout just came out but has anyone seen any good mods for changing one of the radio stations? I am really sick of hearing the Enclave. Really sick.

Well I've already beat the game. That's not the point. I just thought since the recordings for the radio stations are stored in multiple sound files it'd be an obvious target for modding.

Yeah man, go over to fallout3nexus dot com. Browse all categories, have a look at the sound mods. You can get mods that let you replace the radio stations with your own music, etc.

I got distracted harshly by a proper play of Fallout 3, I borrowed it off a friend rather than played it at my friend's...
Fucking hell, it's amazing. Then again, I loved Oblivion.
At first I thought it was a bit meh, but soon you realise the sheer depth of it.

Man ... I decided to give fallout a chance again today... im 14 hours in now and its freaking great.

Is it normal tho to encounter super mutuants with rocket launchers at lvl 1 and beat em?
And I liked to see more towns, something like a homebase instead of ten-edgeofmap-penny tower.

Also is dogmeat kill-able?


And I loved the Super duper mart, being welcomed by Enclave soldiers and fighting along side them against raiders , while being pulled out of the crowd by regulators who had a 10000 caps bounty on me.... yeah great game


Edit: Seriously only 17 side quests?

Yeah there's only 17 sidequests. Most of them take a relatively long time though, and there are also other quests that can morph into bigger ones. The game is big enough to warrant a 500 page guide. Even with the small amount of quests, it's still huge.

And yes, Dogmeat is killable. That's why he kinda sucks, cause you have to constantly look after him if you don't want him to die. It's even more ridiculous on harder difficulties, because you have to focus on not dying, as well as making sure he doesn't die.

I looked at my friend while he was playing it, and idk, it looked funnier than oblivion to me.

So I'll give this a shot, at worst it'll last me a week or two.

Like oblivion the first time.


Except this time I get to enjoy the graphics.

Yeah, don't forget they are so detailed in the multiple paths you can take through these quests, the sheer flexibility is immense.
The only cost of having such detailed quests, is that there are fewer of them, but it's still all good in my books.

Hm mm oke... but well as for the replicated man quest I can pretty much finish it right away by lying to Zimmer.

Also.. I had really liked to see more scavenging / survivaling, more post apocalyptica, I pretty much ignore everything and I have caps to spare. and I had the shiskabab at lvl 4.


Apparently there are allot more minor quests which don't appear in the quests log
