CrookedLink 0 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 RPGs are not my type of game at all but all this Fallout 3 talk finally convinced me to buy it. Plus I'm a big fan of post apocalyptic stuff (movies, books etc.)Found it on Craig's List for $40 so I'll dive into it after football today. Link to post Share on other sites
Governator 54 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Fallout 3 update:I'm currently level 12 and my karma recently came pretty low. I'm now classified as Evil for the first time in the game. At this point I have yet to have a single person follow me in combat lol (Except the dog). I think if I head over to megaton than I can probably get Jericho to follow me now.I'm currently at the "murders pass" within the little lamplight caves to get in to vault 87. I've read there is a terminal I can hack to skip it, so I think I'll try to find that instead. Murders Pass sounds a bit... viscious lol.Also in order to get in to little lamplight, I rescued the kids at Paradise Falls and everyone there now tries to kill me. After a few days will they forgive me again? I want to send some more slaves to that guy at the front gate, I didn't kill him on my way out. He gives you ton of caps for them.

Governator 54 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I'm level 13 and just did the Declaration of Independance Quest and Big Town. I've had Jericho following me for those 2, it's awesome he's so good and it's so nice to be able to now pick up every enemy weapon I come across. I made about 1500 caps off that last quest thanks to Jericho.Vault 87 is next up. Link to post Share on other sites

I also dont have enough to repair the wires. what can i do? do i have no choice but to level up on some side quests? Or do i just have to mow all of these fools down? Im almost level 10, am i a little ahead of myself here? Link to post Share on other sites

Im almost level 10, am i a little ahead of myself here?hmm I'm not too sure as I hacked the computer. I actually wasn't high enough to hack it myself, but I have a lab coat that when I put on ups my science skills by 10 pts. That allows me to hack any average computer. From what I gathered, the only two options were hack the computer or repair the wires. I would suggest work on the side quests and level up. BTW repair skills are awesome. I'm this far in the game and just figured out repairing guns on my own now lol. How I didn't know this earlier is beyond me, but if you have 2 guns that are the same click on one and hold R, then you can repair the gun. I also just figured that holding down the pip-boy button (tab on a pc) turns on a flash light lol. If I knew all this stuff earlier would really have helped lol. Link to post Share on other sites

Plus I'm a big fan of post apocalyptic stuff (movies, books etc.)Found it on Craig's List for $40 so I'll dive into it after football today.Fallout 3 isn't a traditional RPG. It's an action RPG in the same vein as Mass Effect and Oblivion called a WRPG (Western RPG). The RPG's that most people are familiar with are the turn based games called JRPG's (Japanese RPG's) which cover your Final Fantasy's, Dragon Quest/Warrior's, etc. While both types share some similarities they are significantly different.

I find it similar to a game called Dust: A Tale of the Wired West (A great game from the mid 90s). Your decisions control the outcome of the game as well. Link to post Share on other sites

FARGOpokerND 22 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I am halfway through level 13. In the main quest I just found daddy in the vault and am not on my way to start working on the water project. I thought the virtual reality level was kind of fun, actually. I JUST figured out how to repair guns as well. I couldn't figure out why I had a 69 repair skill and couldn't fix anything, didn't realize I needed to hold a 2nd gun of same kind. My lockpick just hit 100, since I am a thieving whore, I figured I should do that.My gun cabinet at my house probably has 500+ guns in it right now.I also just unlocked an achievement for killing 300 creatures, woohoo!

I'm level 13 as well. I totally agree, the virtual reality was really cool. You must've been just dumping everything in to lockpicking no? If I were to do it over, I'd probably focus on science, lockpicking and medicine.I'm also excited that they are releasing 3 new expansion packs soon spread out over the next few months. One of them lets you explore Pittsberg and they also increase your max level from 20 to 30. Link to post Share on other sites
profxavier9 0 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 House?!?! wtf i dont have a house. I guess im just a homeless drifter. Is it lucas simms house im supposed to have? cause he's dead burke killed him. I guess i should look into this because ive been stowing items on dead bodies loool.Im a big noob to rpg's in general as you can see. This is the first rpg since zelda 64 that i really wanted to get to the end of. Good to hear about the DLC.Seems like the only thing this game is missing is some type of online feature.edit- tip: for lockpickers if you have attempted twice at a lock just back out and and retry again and you will get a fresh bobby pin. essentially you'll only need 1 the whole game.
