Fallout 3 (video game)

[Andy]

You can fast travel, using your map, if you don't feel like walking. Andy, don't jump right into it. That's the beauty of this game. You don't HAVE to follow the story line. Talk to other people, do other side-quests. Level up a bunch. I didn't go to GNR Radio until I was like a level 10 and by that point Super Mutants are actually really FUN to fight. Since Hells says there's nothing to do once you're done the story, I think I'm going to hurry up and finish it so I can trade it in while it's still worth a decent amount of money (and get Left 4 Dead). I Actually really enjoy RPG's when their done right, i absolutly love mass effect and still play it now, same with fable 2, im really enjoyin that an getting into it. But sorry guys i just cant get into fallout..

But sorry guys i just cant get into fallout.. That's funny... I'm finding Mass Effect a real chore! Go here, do that... Go there, shoot them... What are you not enjoying about Fallout 3?

I was annoyed with how short the main story line was, could have stretched it out about twice as long with the number of areas. Altough completed I'm gonna go back to an earlier save as one of the perks I saw for level 18 (I think) was explorer, which unlocks all the areas on the map. Therefore I will still have hours of fun checking out the areas I missed. Oh, and those of you who have not used their V.A.T.S yet are missing out! when you have an enemy in sight press 'v' and like in the old Fallout games you can pick what areas to shoot with a percentage of how successful you will be hitting it. I said it before and I say it again, Head Asplode FTW!! The more you know: Dogmeat and the Fallout games were influenced by the film 'A Boy and his Dog' which can be watched here. I watched a bit of it and it is certainly weird, just the kind of weird I bet most of us like.

[lewis]

Not bein funny but if you're finding fallout amazingly hard you're either not using V.A.T.S or you are genuinely **** at games. The games far from immensely hard, albeit if you're new to the series it might seem a bit daunting cause of the scale but its far from a hard game.

It sucks when there's a type of game that you love, in this case oblivion for me, and you would like to have the experience again but they just won't make another one. Fallout 3 is very similar to oblivion and that's probably the only reason i'll play it. By the reviews on this board it sounds like a rent to me.

[LoSTBoY]

How long did it take you to complete it? Not too sure, I think I may have skipped a bit of it. When you get the quest to go to the radio station I didn't bother and began to wander. I ended up in Rivet City and picked up the main quest line for there, which closed the radio station quest. From there I'd say it was about 3-5 hours worth, depending on the speed you do it in.

That's the most rediculous thing I've ever heard of. All quests should remain active until you finish them. That's not open ended play at all. You're being forced into a linear progression.

I think you misunderstood him. It IS completely open-ended. In fact, there are multiple ways you can finish quests, and that's why his quest happened to end when he went and did some things at a different location than he was supposed to be at.

[EvilNed]

Bull****. Nobodys forced anyone on me YET. This game is totally non-linear. So far, I dare say it's the best damn RPG I've had the pleasure of playing since... Well... I can't even remember!

[LoSTBoY]

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of. All quests should remain active until you finish them. That's not open ended play at all. You're being forced into a linear progression. The previous quest was to get information on your Dad, the one I picked up gave me a quest for the location of said Dad so the previous quest was immaterial and therefore not required. I still got the XP/Achievement from it though.

[Cody]

I'm getting this game instead of Dead Space. Oblivions main quest was shooooort. Although Oblivion was awesome, I'm excited to play a modern (kinda futurestic time set) RPG. Final Fantasy 3/6 and Chrono Trigger are the best damn RPGs ever made though. Yeah I said it.

received a gift card to best buy with all kinds of moolah on it, so i picked up south park season 11 and fallout 3. they should both be here on the 24th, so i'll be delving into an apocalyptic funland in a couple of days.

Good stuff, Sir. I wanna get my mits into Fallout 3 sometime soon, but I'll be planning on doing so on the PC - however that's not gonna be here now until the beginning of January. In the meantime though, I've got my fingies crossed for Gears of War 2.

[LoSTBoY]

dude im quite serious, one gameplay vid showed them putting a live grenade in a drunk hobos pocket and they then stood back as she patted herself down for it till she exploded in a cloud of "matter" I unlocked that achievement, I planted a frag mine on the old Granny near the docks. I would normally play the good guy but its so damn funny.
