Also, I walked from Farragut West to Tenelytown/Friendship Heights via the red line metro tubes... lol?...
Sole, you forgot to mention that this is an alternate history, and hence why the DC area has such a different layout to it. Only 3 metro lines and many new/different locations... the closest I can get to College Park and Hyattsville in this game is Takoma.

Shitface you are now my favourite person on the internet for at least a week.
Man, I started playing this game yesterday and I can't stop. I just can't.
I know, I can't either. It's like I'm not even sure if I like it that much, but it's just sucked me in...

Next time I have a computer that is capable of playing any sort of game I plan on purchasing this one.
I loved the original Fallout games, never really found anything else that I liked better
Welcome to the madness castle/sycld.
As far as I know it hurts your sneaking.
sycld: I hardly specialized because I had a moment of idiocy and didn't realize you could lower stats. I don't have the high INT I would if I were really doing it right, but it really doesn't make a difference. Between the skill points perk, Comprehension perk, and bobbleheads it's awfully hard not to max every useful stat by 20. Depending on what skills you tagged, I would probably focus on sneak and/or your weapon skill until you get at least to 75. If you tagged science or lockpick, I would get that high enough to Mentat to the next level pretty quickly too. (Note that for science and lockpick that a rating of 51 is the same as a rating of 74--don't waste points leaving it in the intermediary. If you get 19 skill points per level and have a lockpick of 50, put 6 points in lockpick at the next level (and boost another skill) then put all 19 to get to 75 on the second level up. You'll get more utility for your points this way.
The best advice you can get for low levels is conserve ammo and beat things with a melee weapon. If you get the Shishkebab from the Deliver Lucy's Message quest as quickly as possible, you'll have more than enough damage to get you to the level and economy to use your weapon skill without worrying about ammo (unless you tagged Big Weapons which you should probably just restart.) Also, it's worth noting that melee weapons are better than unarmed weapons if neither is your specialty because STR gives a bonus to melee damage but not unarmed damage. Even if STR was your dumpstat (STR wasn't your dumpstat)
I started off as a goody two shoes
then I started eating corpses today
I'm a ne'er do'well who eats people. I sat down at the xbox today at like 3pm and got off to go to work at 10pm. I have the next two days off and I'm so excited.
Well... crap.
Thanks for the advice. Makes sense, and from the level requirements I've been seeing in the game, I just realized that there are thresholds for each skill like this. I'll keep it in mind from now on.
I'm playing it as a total pussy.
I'm a "Very Good" Peacekeeper. My icon looks like Jesus, and a woman in Megaton came out from no where to give me a Stimpack, saying that there should be more people like me in the world.
I get the feeling that my rewards for being a bad ass would be more than a crappy free Stimpack.

She won't stop. She just won't fucking stop. She relentlessly appears and runs toward you giving you a never ending supply of useless crap like dirty water. I'm pretty sure it's just a test bethesda came up with to see how just how good people were willing to be.
I killed her via the console. It was the right thing to do.
If the 2nd or 3rd nicest guy on CD suggests that the correct course of action is to kill someone, it must be true.

The rewards of being evil are as follows:
1. Miss the canon resolution when returning to Vault 101what happens
2. House in Tenpenny, which has access to better ammo supplies than Moira. Unfortunately, you can't kill Alister Tenpenny without gaining good karma.
3. If you can click it, you can take it. If anyone bitches, kill them.
4. Kill that LARPing vampire faggot, take his shishkebob and all the rest of his shit. If you play it right, you can get all the perks of the quest (including some good karma) and then lose all the karma back by slaughtering his gang and the entire town of Arefu. I think I leveled 2 or 3 times in the course of this quest, and I didn't even search for the hideout.
5. Tranquility Lane is a lot more fucked up if you aren't worried about the negative karma from completing the quests.
6. In the event of an emergency, kill the whole town
7. Sell Brian Wilkes to the slavers at Paradise Falls. Fuck that, sell everyone to the slavers at Paradise Falls.
The major drawback is that you can't get Fawkes and his Gatling Laser.
Just finished the game. It was a great adventure!
Tranquility made me giggle
So what was the level twenty perk that everyone took? First time around I grabbed explorer because I was too lazy to google locations. Now I am thinking about grabbing grim reaper's sprint. Any suggestions?
The only reason not to take sprint is because you took ninja -- and honestly, you probably should have picked sprint anyhow.
I actually beat the game on level 18.
I beat the game at level fucking 14 because I didn't realize the last story quest when I took it.
Yeah game is really easy, I would just rush the first playthrough then make another char afterwords and perfect that one.
You know you can up the difficulty, right?
If you up the difficulty though, you'll be lvl 20 before you even get to your dad.
hopefully the DLC they announced today will up the difficulty a bit.
Love it when the PS3 gets shafted on DLC. Bethesda should realize by now it's not chic to hate on the PS3 as many developers got the stick out of their ass, but no Bethesda. No confirmed DLC for the PS3 for F3. Which is bullshit. Feel like I'm being punished for picking the system with virtually no failure rate.
What is this DLC you are talking about?
I found my dad by accident.
Totally circumvented a few quests, really pretty pissed
lol how did you manage that?
That does suck a little.
PS3 gets none of this.
To be honest I'm looking forward to the mod tools more than the actual DLC. The oh-so-wittilly named G.E.C.K. mod kit means someone may finally be able to put together an iron sights mod or throw in some of the missing items/armor from the earlier games. I may even try myself. Although I will fail.
I just hope that there will be a mod (user or official) that will allow the construction of more than just seven weapons. There's so much unused junk out there, and nothing to do with it.
Those fuckers.
I wish the game had joinable factions, a la morrowind. Can someone DLC this without it being forced?
I was kinda hoping I could get turned to a ghoul, but the ghoul mask is just fine. Duster, Ghoul Mask, and Sheriff's Hat.
I'm like a wild wild west spawn (or Freddy kreuger)
Duster+Ghoul Mask+Prewar hat+ Death Claw gauntlet= Kreuger.
Sarcasm?
I need to find a goddamn surgical brace before I can get my death claw gauntlet. I found those things in droves before, but now I can't find a single one.
Which one is the prewar hat?
The one that Berk wears. I thought it was fitting. I know what you mean about the medical braces too, they are all over until you find the schematics for the Death Claw. I searched the Our Lady Hope Hospital top to bottom and finally found 1 medical brace in the basement.
The secret to your girlish figure? Radiated water and long, LOOOONNNNGGGG walks.
I wandered into vault 112. So now I doubt I can do followed in his footsteps, which sucks.
burke? Fuck that hat. I'm wearing the Sheriffs hat from Megaton (Nuked that bitch off the face of the earth) and Vance's Duster, from the texas chainsaw massacre family.
No, I own a PS3.
I am wearing Ranger Combat Armor and a Pre-war Bonnett and Reading Glasses. Fly.
