The Official Fallout 3 Thread - No Mutants Allowed!

[Master Chief]

Point Lookout is tough shenanigans, I'd save that one for last. I think Pitt is allright at any level, but I'm a stealthy player so I wasn't fighting that much. Just make sure you have some powerful guns and good armor before going into either.

As for regenerated content, nop, the whole entire world is full of items that stay where you leave them. No respawns!

 

[Lucien]

Brilliant, thanks. I think i'm far too early into the game to consider them just yet then.

Shame about the items, I'm finding myself going through my stimpacks a bit quicker than i'd like. I was quite surprised how much health Mirelurk meat gives you though, I might have to do some hunting.

I killed my first Radscorpion earlier too Scared the crap out of me when I first saw it. But it was busy killing an ant which aloud me to set up a frag mine then finish it off with some assault rifle to the face

 

[Soapy]

Just wait until you cross paths with a Deathclaw or a Behemoth!

 

[Lucien]

Ha, the Behemoth outside GNR was something else! I'm just annoyed that I didn't find the Fat Man on the dead BoS guy until after it was dead. I really wanted to have nuked that thing.

 

[[A]]

You can't nuke that Super Mutant Behemoth, you reckless dog! You'd kill the Brothers of Steel!

 

[Bruce Banner]

I through down a row of bottlecap mines and were his gigantic yellow *** down.

Then I proceded to blast him with lot of assualt rifle fire.

Then I sold the mini nukes and the fat man

 

[[A]]

I remember that teddy bear inside a shopping cart.. I touched it.. and then a Behemoth came out of nowhere

 

[Bruce Banner]

Looks like you had a Indiana Jones moment...touch something and then everything goes to ****.

 

[[A]]

Check this video..

..the only difference is that I just stood there and Dogmeat wasn't with me. I looked back and saw the Behemoth running towards me

 

[Bruce Banner]

God I never took the chance of getting dog meat killed I love dogs.

I leave him at my lab at megaton. So when me Charon and Fawkes come home he is basically chilling inside at the door. Greeting us as we return.

I love using the bottlcap mines on everything. the supermutant got slower and then I fired like hell at him.

 

[[A]]

I leave Dogmeat in my house at Megaton -- with the robo butler whatever his name was lost the game a while ago

 

[[A]]

damn you double post

Good Old Wadsworth

 

[[A]]

I like his its jokes.

 

[Bruce Banner]

I hate how he blocks the stairs when I am trying to get to my infirmary

 

[[A]]

"Move tin can!"

Everyone in that world is very clumsy. Everyone.

 

[Bruce Banner]

Well I'm tired of my character being so damn. Healthy.

I think I'll take my doctor/scientist player to the muddy rutter and get him hammered soon.

Hes been to much of a goodie goody

 

[[A]]

I've finished the game 3 times -- every time I different character altogether. First, very nice. 2nd, mixed. 3rd, a real sob. I even blew up Megaton.

 

[Bruce Banner]

I have played it 3 times and everytime he is a nice/very smart/ doctor/science guy who happens to sneek his way around the wasteland.

I can't seem to change it and go to the "dark side" just yet.

 

[[A]]

Well, I don't think you can really be that bad and evil all the time -- or you wouldn't progress in the game..

But it was funny to be hunted by the Regulators and then become one

 

[Master Chief]

I wanted a character that used chems all the time, and now I'm always suffering from some kind of withdrawal. Makes every fight an easy one though. :heart:

 

[Spidey17]

Actually, they just go unconscious. Or maybe I missed them.
It's sad that that is arguably the most epic encounter in the game. Bethesda blew its load too quickly when it came to the "boss battles".

Indeed. I usually sell all the chems, med tablets, but my two characters are both alcoholics, so I can carry more stuff. Jet is sweet though, it gives you more VATS points, iirc.

Hmm now you made me think about it.. I think you can kill them -- but, since you're all in the middle of a fight, they won't shoot back at you.

lol no problem, welcome to Fallout 3! :heart: Just a little bit of advice, go through Operation: Anchorage. It's sort of easy, and at the end you get access to some great gear. Also, it grants you power armor training which isn't normally available until about halfway through the main quest. Happy hunting!

I used to have the same problem with stimpacks but I started sneaking around. Combining that with VATS I ended up doing more damage than I took because I picked everybody off 1 by 1, and I'd just heal whatever little damage was done by drinking water or something. I usually don't start using stimpacks until my medicine skill is high, and even then I only use them if I'm about to die or get crippled. Once you get the hang of exploring and scavenging you'll have more than enough stimpacks at all times.

Hope you share more of your random encounters, the game never ends in that department. Once I was sneaking through a field of Albino Radscorpions, and an Enclave helicopter dropped off 2 soldiers and a robot for no reason. They got mauled to death in less than a minute and I got some stuff I traded off for caps, then snuck away. t:

I dunno, the Liberty Prime sequence was pretty cool. It was definitely lacking in awesome scripted moments though, but still, the millions of tiny random occurrences in the wasteland make up for it. I was gonna clear out a Raider camp of about 5, when a Deathclaw showed up and took them out for me. Then I finished off the almost-dead Deathclaw in the greatness of VATS and looted the bodies.

Nothin like Jet in combination with Psycho, and MedX just in case. :heart: I got into a habit of making my character drink all the beer/vodka/wine/whiskey/moonshine in my inventory whenever a fight went down. Such a cool game. A junkie alcoholic, exactly who I'd be in the wasteland.

 

[Lucien]

In Operation: Anchorage, I know it's a simulation and you lose all your items at the end, but do you still gain experience?

I've never even considered used all the drugs and alcohol you find, i've just been picking them up to sell for caps. I think I may experiment a bit, it sounds interesting lol. The only thing i've used so far were the mentats to disarm the Megaton nuke.
