Despite the fact that pretty much every other settlement, even Tenpenny Tower if you're not a ghoul, seems quite welcoming to most people, whereas in Megaton they'll let you in but refuse to sell you water or let you buy a house.

The only thing i'm going to use the geck for is to create a Red Ryder Limited Edition BB Gun.

Everything can be cured with a syringe.

I got this game right when it came out and I played it non-stop for 3 days straight; it was bad I was addicted lol. Amazing game though, I played through it first as really good and then bad and I have to say, blowing up megaton was awesome. The place you get to "live" is pimpin' compared to the megaton place. I loved everything about the game, and cheating in it made it even more fun, at least for the computer because you could give yourself ridiculous equipment/weapons. You could even get the liberty lazer that is in the end of the game lol. Fucking awesome game, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

EDIT: Ive been +pist I forgot my game at school; Ive wanted to play it again lol.

lol. lol. lol. lol. lol.

It is a good game. Hopefully the downloadable content is also good.

i played it for the first time tonight. it was decent. not my favorite, but i gotta get into it more.

also, from what little i've played of it, mass effect is an overall better game imo.

I thought Mass Effect was way too linear than what it was marketed to be. Fallout 3 really feels open-ended.

it's a ridiculously intricate game. i feel like i've only scratched the surface with how much i can do in the game.

Tranquility Lane is probably my favorite part of the game, just because it was so different. I also liked Oasis.

Yeah it was fucked up

i'm actually kind of frightened to continue this game.

I need to continue this game. Man that was trippy when

I went into the black and white 50s style town and the guy had me murder people

Welcome to Tranquility Lane.

Yes! Thanks I couldn't remember the name and didnt feel like googling it.

So, I started playing this again (due to trophy patch) and decided just to start out doing story quests.

And you know what? The game is a lot more fun when I'm not running into things that kill me from across the map when I can't even see them. I haven't fired a gun yet except the FatMan at the Super Brute thing. I've killed everything else with a lead pipe/baseball bat.

The game is just so much more fun when I'm not dying every 3 seconds.

Um how were you dying every 3 seconds?

follow-up question: are you autistic?

No, but I was taking a huge amount of damage because I did not have any worthwhile equips. For point of reference, I was around 10-15 hours in the game and had not run into a feral ghoul. At all. I had no idea they existed until my current play-through when I went through a metro-station to get to GNR plaza. Straight out of 101 I was fighting raiders and maramdukes or whatever the fuck those things with really tiny heads are.

Edit: And every 3 seconds is a figure of goddamn speech and you know it even if I do write like an autistic person.

I didn't find it at first. I ran up and hit him with my lead pipe a few times and then got killed. So I got angry and decided NOT to trigger the event and just loot the shit out of everyone. I took out that motherfucker while overencumbered.

MalReynolds just lost the game.

I mean I guess I could sort of understand if you are playing melee or unarmed how you could have some early damage scaling issues, but if you do any sidequests at all, you ought to be more than enough level following the main quest.

Go get the Shishkebob from that LARPing Vampfag family and that'll carry you until you get the Deathclaw gauntlet.

you can just steal the shishkebab schematics from one of the caravan merchants and not have to bother with the LARP quest

I didn't have the junk to make the kebab, because I wasn't stashing any of the shit I picked up.

I had the hardest fucking time finding the parts for the railroad rifle and then didn't even end up using it.

Well most people would just kill the whole family and take his already-made Shishkebab

Most people. I was going for good karma.

My good character murdered them all.

Ironically my evil character is the only one who actually did the quest and learned the ways of the family (and then murdered them all).

karma is a funny thing because there are a billion logical things to do to get good karma and very few logical things to do to get bad karma

i mean if you aren't thieving everything you stumble across you are only going to get bad karma like 3 times. Who are you, Jesus?

Pretty much. I don't want my character to be all grey. He's either going to be black or white. Maybe grey if I'm going for the "Hit level 7/14/20 with (neutral/bad/good) character" trophies.
