My parents wouldn't care a bit more than likely, but I always get too scared to ask if I can buy an M-rated game. About a month ago I passed up The Orange Box for $15 because of it. To make things worse, I bought Okami instead, which I absolutely can't stand.
is it like oblivion
i dont really get the gameplay :(
EDIT: I saw a video review
is the exploring boring as balls like oblivion or is it actually cool to fight the random enemies and explore

Well at the age of 15 I think it would be ok to play an M rated game.
Of course that's the parent's decision.
OH SHIT YOU HAVENT PLAYED GEARS OF WAR OR CALL OF DUTY 4 YET?

I need to stop worrying so much, really. My parents offered to take me to see an R-rated movie with them, so I doubt they would care if I played an M-rated game.
Besides, I was addicted to GoldenEye when I was five. I think they know by now that they won't cause me to kill anyone. baddood;

I saw myself get birthed >.<
ok i'm still not too sure
if I hated oblivion will i hate this or its different? (is the combat in fallout 3 better cause i didn't really like the oblivion combat)
also is this pretty much an RPG and not a FPS?
and lastly, Fable 2 or this?

I don't really want the points on sneak. Or does it hardly make a difference?
I'm gonna pick this up but I dunno whether I should get the 360 or PC version.
My PC specs are something like:
512MB card (some NVidia card)
4GB RAM
2.53GHz processor
I'm not sure if that'll be able to run the game well without it looking like complete shit.

the two versions are identical from what i've read
though in the 360 version when you start and stop moving there's a little animation jump and it's really annoying

I got it to. It's amazing so far. I'm about half way done the main story.
Just got it, and just got out of the vault. I then had to go have dinner and leave.
So is this game more laid out than oblivion? By that I mean are the quests easier to find, instead of wandering around everywhere until happens.

exploring is 1000 times cooler though
I just swam underwater to some ship and found some old guy who set traps everywhere AWESOME
I don't see what's the big deal about this game, it's cool but it's not mind blowing. Then again I've never played the other Fallout games. doodhuh;
I'm a bad man :'(
I quickly found the atom bomb city place, and then turned the faggot who wanted to blow it up to the mayor. Then he killed the mayor, so I destroyed him with the mayor's weapon. This game is fucking awesome so far. I have like 4 sidequests and I haven't even left the town place. I don't know where to start n_u

I just got it.
I turned it off after trying to take that first town you go to after leaving the vault.
Fuck that Jericho bitch keeps fucking me up
Pretty fun game so far.
A few of the side quests I've done have been pretty damned good. hocuspocus;
I'm right before the last quest! But I'm not going to do it until I finish up most of the sidequests.
I beat the main story. I made another save before the quest so I can do all the side quests for more gamer score and fun.

whether you're good or bad is pretty well determined by your actions in the megaton quest. if you disarm the bomb, you're good for a really long time because you're karma goes up a ridiculous amount. if you blow it up, you're bad for a really long time...for the same reason.
that early quest pretty well breaks the karma system lol
there is only one choice i can remember that is so evil that it can bring you back down from max good karma pretty quickly, and so as not to spoil it, i'll just say it involves burning something
the karma related stuff has no real relevance, it's the decisions causing said karma changes that matter more, ultimately. karma pretty well only exists for sparse dialogue choices and achievements
Easy way for the karma achievements is to be good and then on your save right before you're about to level up just start murdering your way down to neutral and level up, and then bad, and then continue on being good.

that's alright bruh it's your adventure hocuspocus;
i think i've fixed my freezing issues
apparently what the game really doesn't like is windows 7 or 8 pcs with more than two cores, so i forced it to ignore two of mine a few hours of gameplay ago and i haven't had any problems since
aside from general stability woes, it's amazing how easy this game is to run compared to skyrim, especially considering they technically belong to the same generation
my average framerate is about double the high 20-low 30 fps i begrudgingly accepted in skyrim at 1080p, and fallout 3 honestly isn't significantly uglier than skyrim is either (though i suppose skyrim is more densely packed)
amazing how they managed to get both games performing on the consoles about equally (well, on the 360 at least, lol)

any storage in your house hocuspocus;
though while apparently there's a risk of having your stuff disappear if you store it anywhere else, i've never had that happen to me in my first game where i didn't have a house and just stored my things in that kid's house you save from flame-throwing ants in that village near megaton

if it's anything like skyrim, non-owned containers work on a timer that respawns their contents every x amount of in-game time (i think in skyrim it's two weeks)
you might have visited frequently enough that the timer was never able to hit 0 lol

it works the same, yes. the fallout wikis will probably tell you what containers are and aren't "safe." but it's not as clear-cut as that, as glitches can of course technically cause anything to disappear from any container, and oftentimes "unsafe" containers end up being perfectly safe.
i've always just kept everything in containers in my house though, and have never had a problem after three extensive playthroughs of this game.
yeah i've pretty much taken to dumping everything not immediately necessary in my house, exactly as i did in skyrim
i don't want to take any risks with containers i don't own lol, this game is risky enough as is
I wanna feel like I had something disappear from that locker or the other thing before, but I might have just been mistaken or remembering something wrong. Or maybe it was a pre-patch thing.

closing in on 1000 saves btw, already over 2gb worth
i pray to the bethesda gods that the game will be playable enough for me to actually hit 1000 after upgrading to windows 10 (man am i going to regret this)
2gb of saves is completely reasonable, for we are bethesda
i...don't get why you would make that many saves. start deleting some you know you'll never have a reason to go back to.
i cycle between five that i overwrite so i can always go back a ways if i fuck something up, and then keep a few reserve old saves far prior to any important decisions just in case

it's primarily because on pc it's one button press easier to create a new file than it is to overwrite an old one lol, and it doesn't really make sense to be constantly going into the game's save directory and manually deleting old saves as i finish with them, may as well do it once when i'm done with the game overall
whereas i imagine on console you're forced to eventually overwrite previous saves for space management reasons
skyrim is exactly the same way (and its save filess are even
bigger) which is why at one point i had like 30+gb of saves sillydood;
yeah in other words it's 100% tec's fault 5thgrade;

it's horrible and tedious to delete saves on a console. Especially if you rack up enough of them to where the save window lags
which is why you just don't make new saves every time in the first place goowan

well, you can't live there if you saved megaton anyway. allowing the ghouls into tenpenny tower is the "good" way of doing that quest. just be aware that all human residents of the tower are doomed to die if you do this, and tenpenny himself is part of "you gotta shoot em in the head."

On the verge of modding albino radscorpions out of the game. 5thgrade;
lmao i love that, at the maxed-out level of 30, a fucking bug is the strongest enemy in the game. honestly i think only super mutant behemoths and the japanese general dude from operation anchorage have more hp than albino radscorpions
even mutant behemoths are much less of a pain than radscorpions are, their weapons generally do a heck of a lot less damage than stupid scorpion claws and stingers smithicide;
It takes one encounter with an albino scorpion to kill my followers. awdood;
also, i can't believe the level cap is only 30
i really wish it were possible to reallocate my perk points because i wasted a lot of them on completely useless perks earlier in the game and now there's some neat ones i'll never get awdood;

granted, you can throw a grenade at them once to cripple their legs and they then become really slow so you can slowly pick them off
unfortunately i don't think you can cripple them via the super-easy crippling dart gun, because it uses radscorpion poison.
i actually have been successfully crippling them with the dart gun lol so i guess they're not impervious to their own venom
but they're still such a huge pain to deal with that i may seriously have to invoke my god-given right to mods, i groan every time i see one in the distance
They're not worth engaging unless you can sneak attack critical them from afar tbh, they take too long to kill otherwise
I usually used the Gauss Rifle to do this. Makes an excellent energy weapon sniper rifle. It's a reward for doing Operation Anchorage.
i still haven't actually touched any of the dlc yet lol
should i do it before or after completing the main game y/n
operation anchorage's rewards are fantastic, so for that reason alone you honestly should've done it ages ago. point lookout is whatever, i don't even like it that much, do it whenever lol. mothership zeta i suggest saving for last between these three because it rules.
broken steel takes place after the main game and is just an extension of the main story
whoops
I guess I'll do that next then. dittodood;
operation anchorage complete wrench;
now to speed through point lookout
i want to be finished with this game before christman
enjoy your infinite health winterized power armor wrench;
and your super sneak suit wrench;
and your overpowered gauss rifle wrench;
all of which are amazing rewards i intend to keep with me at all times
also, finally crossed the hundred hour mark
also, finished the main quest of point lookout
the gauss rifle and microwave emitter are great but it's too bad they're virtually unrepairable by the player lol, and hunting down merchants who at best can't repair beyond 75% is less than ideal
Quote from: Sakura Kinomoto on December 21, 2015, 08:55:52 PM

also lol apparently this is a oversight that bethesda never bothered to fix
it actually isn't indestructible, but it has 10 million hit points
the developers mistakenly placed the simulation version (which is supposed to be indestructible for all intents and purposes like the other sim items) in the armory, as opposed to the standard wasteland version which would have degraded normally
mothership zeta grants you access to an item that repairs your held weapon, but there's a limited amount of them
i saved them pretty much specifically for repairing the gauss rifle

it has another oversight: it allows you to accidentally complete the sidequest "you gotta shoot em in the head" if you put it down and pick it back up a certain way
because that quest involves a dispute over a suit of power armor and one possible ending is the player picking it up. and the winterized version apparently accidentally counts as being the same
good to know
mothership zeta's up next, once i've finished point lookout's sidequests (i never want to have to go back there)
mothership zeta was easily the worst dlc for this game by a longshot but have fun bubsy
[spoiler]WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG[/spoiler]
point lookout was my least favorite
atleast you could like, live a little. zeta is mostly a straight line with like a couple quest points on it
well sure, but i didn't find point lookout worth exploring to begin with lol

Time to finish the game. goodjob;
god that ingots quest is hell i did that same shit by checking every one lmao
six months and 123 hours later, i've finally finished the main quest
man, that ending is a complete mess
[spoiler]
how could bethesda possibly have had enough gall to kill off the player character, but not the commitment to stand by that decision and even retcon SUCH a significant and final plot element mere months later with broken steel
did they do absolutely no planning lol
i can't think of a single other piece of media so insecure that it feels the need to actually retcon itself
on top of severely cheapening the effectiveness of the original ending sequence (which itself is riddled with problems), the post-endgame dlc changes don't even solve the original issue of completely neutering the consequentiality of your decisions
because now instead of being dead no matter what, you remain alive no matter what, and their 'fix' doesn't even attempt to make any sense at all
the lone wanderer nobly follows in his father's footsteps, willingly sacrificing himself for the good of mankind after exposure to beyond-lethal levels of radiation that no amount of gear or chems could effectively shield against.................. and then two weeks later he just happens to conveniently wake up in a medical facility perfectly safe and sound with no ill consequences whatsoever oh wow it's a miracle lol
radiation, this inescapable central threat, has been visibly poisoning me almost every single second of my existence in this world
my trusty geiger counter, a necessity in this post-nuclear wasteland, serves as constant a reminder of its severity and ubiquity
i take all sorts of precautions using hazmat suits and various dangerous drugs in the hope of staving off the ill effects of this powerful global toxin just to live on another day
yet somehow stepping into the very epicenter of the massive radiation leak that i watched instantaneously kill my father and anyone unfortunate enough to be near him didn't have any ill effects on me at all huh well okay i can totally overlook that
i mean jesus if they absolutely needed to retcon the original ending like that, they could have a least remained internally consistent and made you a ghoul or something, christ[/spoiler]
smh bethesda
Hey, ghouls are people too
ok but did u have fun tho ifeelbetter;
And what about that final "boss" that is very possible to kill in one hit?
To give some credit to Bethesda, [spoiler] they originally DID stick with their decision to kill off the main character by NOT allowing the game to continue. There was no post game, and players whined about that because oblivion allowed you too. So after hearing complaints, they made broken steel. [/spoiler]
At least, I think that's the story.

[spoiler]
but the original ending was terrible too, because of the existence of several companions who are immune to the effects of radiation
i just looked it up and apparently they wouldn't activate the purifier themselves pre-broken steel because 'it's your destiny' lol goonish
and even after broken steel the game treats you like shit if you dare make the perfectly reasonable decision of sending one of your radiation resistant companions into the purifier because apparently you're not a hero unless you die or otherwise expose yourself to risk needlessly
i guess i should never have sent fawkes to retrieve the geck for me then, huh
in fact, i should have just stabbed myself in the heart the minute i exited vault 101
the original ending is bad and their 'fix' is somehow even worse
there are a million ways that bethesda could have and should have avoided putting themselves in that situation at all, instead of deciding on this bold but poorly thought out ending that ultimately even they couldn't defend and badly bandaided
like even if they insisted on killing the lone wanderer, they could have at the very least had the foresight make followers unavailable to you on your final mission for arbitrary reason x, instead of allowing them to tag along until the last second but then refuse to help you when you most need it with some bs cop-out dialogue about """destiny"""
i don't necessarily mind that the player character is killed, but i do mind that the reasons for his death are senseless, and that bethesda upon conceding to this somehow made a bad ending even more nonsensical lol[/spoiler]
YeAh the ending is pretty dumb. Everyone pretty much says so then and now.
I guess it's to the games credit that it's still pretty strong despite the ending.
Fallout and elder scrolls are definitely more about the journey than the destination

excluding the ending, my complaints are minor and most of them apply to skyrim and probably every other bethesda game as well, but there are a few that are fallout 3-specific, like the agonizingly slow walking speed and tedious (though thankfully nonessential) crafting system
ultimately i think skyrim is better for a variety of reasons (or at least for more reasons than just 'i played it first') but i most certainly enjoyed my time with fallout 3 and do intend to finish broken steel before moving on goodjob;
i don't think i'll be going for 100% completion like i did for skyrim though lol
