Fallout 3 [PC/360/PS3]

[Jonno394]

Yeah, the fallout games are one of the only things that make me wish I had a gaming rig.

I'm positive you have the nude and rape mods installed sweey.

 

[Sweey]

I didn't even know there was a rape mod until now :laugh:

 

[Dragonfly]

Funny this should be bumped. I've decided to go back to this after not really giving it a real chance. Last time, I only got as far to the underground station, where you have the guys with burnt faces. I'll be starting from the beggining, again.

I re-played this about a month ago, for about the 4th time. One of my favourite games from this gen.

Can't be arsed doing any quests at the moment, slowly working my way across the South of the map. Did something in Tenpenny Tower with a love letter I didn't do in my first play through and ended up following a TT resident around in the wasteland for a bit after feeling guilty.

She was pretty handy with a pistol so I decided she would be safe. About half an hour later I came a weakened rad-scorpion and put it out of it's misery, a minute later I came across another scorpion carcass and then a few metres away lay the womans lifeless corpse. Turns out she had been set upon by two rad scoprions and took one of them with her.

I was sad, but got over it quicly and I stripped, looted her and left her to the wasteland.

Forgot just how confusing navigating the 10 DC zones via the underground network is. Fortunately for me the map that came with the Fallout 3 guide I got years back is proving very helpful. Currently trying to get one location in each of the 10 main DC zones so I can be rid of that cunt system and just fast travel around the capital.

Explored the Dunwich building, still as awesome second time round, read that the Point lookout DLC has a connection to it, can't wait.

[MENTION=76586]BarnDoor[/MENTION] what sort of shit you been doing?

 

[Jonno394]

Forgot how atmospheric Arlington Cemetery feels walking around, The Mama Dolce Food building found there is an awesome little diversion.

Have you done the alien dlc yet (I forget what it's called)? Not the best dlc, but you can get some pretty nifty equipment/weapons.

Mothership Zeta. I enjoyed Point Lookout quite a bit.

Mothership Zeta. I enjoyed Point Lookout quite a bit.

I enjoyed them all to be fair. All of them have their benefits:

-Op. Anchorage is great for the Gauss rifle and the stealth suit.
-Point Lookout is great for the Backwater/Lever-action rifle.
-The Pitt has the infiltrator and Perforator.
-Broken Steel has a handy Tri Beam laser rifle.
-Mothership Zeta has some decent alien weaponry, as well as alien epoxy, which allows you to mend your weapons.

Nah. accidentally stumbled across the anchorage dlc (did it on 360 when i first had it) but decided to leave instill later as i remembered how overpowered the gauss rifle and stealth suit were.

Im level 13 already and have only completed following in his foot steps and two side missions so far (those and power of the atom)...

Funny encounter, i was walking towards the town that's under attack by ants and Im low on health. i see three blue dots and one red on my radar, i Enter vats and see three outcasts and an enclave soldier, i think to myself "overkill" i then exit Vats and am blind sided by two death claws and i shit myself. the outcasts weren't fighting the enclave, they were all aiming at the death claws. fortunately our combined gun power took them down before i could get struck and we then proceeded to rape the lone enclave soldier.

 

[Sweey]

Graphic stuff Jonno.

 

[Lörd TH]

I regret buying Broken Steel, got halfway through and never completed it.


I think my favourite area of the game is the Forrest and the top of the map, so different to the wasteland.

Here are some Fallout Factoids to supply you fact hungry fans, i give credit to Andrew Reiner who looked these up!

In the world of Fallout, the bombs fell on October 23rd. Bethesda tried to coincide the release of Fallout 3 to that.

The original inspiration for VATS was Burnout’s crash mode replays.

The sound that plays when you enter VATS is the combat turn sound from Fallout 1.

Fallout 3 started in 2004 and was announced before Oblivion was even announced.

A team of over 80 people worked on Fallout 3 covering three platforms - Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

The dog in Fallout 3, Dogmeat, also appeared in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Artist Grant Struthers prototyped the VATS camera system by filming his Incredibles action figures fighting.

The very first piece of Fallout 3 art was created by Lead Artist Istvan Pely in 2004. It was the power armor image that became the game’s cover.

Bethesda’s first true-3D shooter was Terminator: Future Shock in 1995, which was also set in a large post-apocalyptic city. Todd Howard is often credited with creating the first “mouse look” interface for it.

Bethesda’s first game was Gridiron! In 1986.

Bethesda Softworks was actually only in Bethesda, Maryland, for a short time. Their offices are in Rockville, Maryland.

Actress Courtney Cox worked at Bethesda briefly in the 1980s.

The bell that sounds after shooting the Fat Man Nuclear Catapult is the lunchroom bell at the Bethesda offices.

The Fat Man is based on an actual nuke launcher, the M-388 Davy Crockett Tactical Nuclear Recoilless Rifle which was made in the 1950s.

The cars in Fallout 3 are based on the Ford Nucleon, a concept car built to run on a nuclear generator in the 1950s.

The downtown DC area in Fallout 3 was twice the size at one point and the team decided it was too large and confusing and cut half the space out. Though the wasteland area was half the size, and the team felt it was too small, so the wasteland doubled.

The voice of the one-year-old baby you play who says “Da Da” is Jake Howard on his 1st birthday, son of game director Todd Howard.

The voice of Timmy Neusbaum, who you have to make cry in Tranquility Lane, is the voice of Cullen Pagliarulo, son of lead designer Emil Pagliarulo.

The voice of young Paul Hannon, at your 10th birthday party, is Luke Lafferty, son of producer Craig Lafferty.

The voice of Mr. Handy and Harold is that of Stephen Russell, who also plays Garrett in the Thief series of games
.
Production director Ashley Cheng provides the voice for the Chinese commandos.

At one point, Fallout 3 featured a surgery minigame, where you had to cauterize your own wounds while watching your character scream in pain. The team felt it slowed down the game’s pace to just heal your limbs.

In the original design, you actually drove Liberty Prime and did battle with a working and floating Rivet City.
If you sneak up and activate a Brahmin, your character will tip it over.

In the Hubris Comics’ building is a terminal that has an actual working text adventure in it called “The Reign of Grelok.”

Check that last one for me?

Check that last one for me?

Yeah its true. It is only like 5 minutes long with 5 locations and about the same amount of characters but it was something I never found in my first play through and i stumbled across it a few days back.

Liberty prime vs Rivet City makes no sense but couldve been hillarious!!!
