Yes, it is.

I'm giving F3 a rest to play Burnout: Paradise right now. I think I'll pick it back up when the first DLC is released.

 

[BlackLantern]

it has already...isn't Operation Anchorage available already??

 

[TheCorpulent1]

January 27th. Another week of Burnout: Paradise sounds pretty good. I've still got stuff to unlock, but I've sort of been getting tired of it lately. You know, playing for less time each day, etc.

 

[BlackLantern]

got ya....I took a break a couple weeks ago and now Im leveled out and am just exploring...I found Girdershade and convinced Ronald to go get Nuka Cola for me....Im sure when I get to the factory, Ill find his corpse...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Haha, probably. I got him to pay me double to give him the Quantums so he could give them to Sierra and get in her pants, but I was pissed that I didn't get the Nuka-Grenade schematics afterwards. I think I'll try just killing Ronald and Sierra and seeing if the schematics are on her corpse this time.

 

[BlackLantern]

I sent him off to his death, so I can probably whack her and not feel too bad

 

[TheCorpulent1]

She is sort of annoying.

 

[spidey-dude]

[BlackLantern]

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I'll get it later on. I started playing another game in the meantime and I'm still not done with that one.

The Pitt and Broken Steel have both been delayed.

According to GameSpot, the two upcoming pieces of Fallout 3 downloadable content will each be delayed by one month. The Pitt, previously scheduled to come out in February has been pushed back to March. Broken Steel, which was slated to come out in March and will continue the main story and lift the level cap, is now due out in April. This was confirmed to GameSpot by Pete Hines, VP of Marketing for Bethesda.

The Pitt and Broken Steel are exclusive to Xbox 360 and Windows PC. The PlayStation 3 version of Fallout 3 will not receive the downloads.

[BlackLantern]

Yea...I don't mind waiting and put that in your pipe and smoke it Sony....

 

[StrainedEyes]

I wish they would have decided to increase the cap by like 5 each DLC. I still have things to explore, but part of me doesn't want to waste the XP.

 

[BlackLantern]

Ive done a bit of exploring since Ive capped out, but I havent killed anything serious

 

[Arc-Light]

GGGAARRYYY..................there you are Gary.......vault 108 freaked me out and made me LMAO at the same time.......fun stuff.

 

[BlackLantern]

The Vaults are creepy places period

 

[Nightmare]

I just made the deathclaw hand, its so badass.

 

[BlackLantern]

I don't fight with melee weapons....they are beneath me

Can you ever return to Vault 101?


I just finished the main quest, thank god I have multiple saves...


Fable 2 was much better...

Yes...there is a side quest after one of the main quests but you have to be close by to pick up a distress beacon from the Vault....you can go back once....


uh....what....Fallout has more stuff, infinitely more side quests, and just looks better....

 

[StrainedEyes]

I liked Fallout and Fable, but I agree that Fallout is way better. Fable's "rpg elements" are very minimal and you feel like you're just going through a normal game, and the lack of a full game world hurts it. Fallout is huge and you feel like a unique character who can do whatever you want.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Eh i wouldn't say Fallout is better just as i wouldn't say Fable is better. They may be RPG's, but they appeal to different personalities. Fable does what Fable does really well, Fallout does what Fallout does really well. Personally i prefer the more realistic, real world approach that Fallout takes, but i love the Dickens-esq storybook world that Fable does. IMO, both games are brilliant.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Started playing this again, and is it me or is it REALLY hard to surrvive in this game? I swear i cant step 5 feet into the wasteland before im fighting giant ants and scorpions that suck my ammo dry. I just spent over 200 caps buying ammo and ONE encounter with a group of nasty fire ants and im COMPLETELY out of ammo.
