To the Shelter!

[Szar]

Is anyone else getting Fallout 3 today? If so, feel free to use this thread to discuss it, list pros/cons, etc.

That said, I'm getting it shortly, and I am ridiculously excited.

[Orion]

We have a Nappa?!

It's not out in Aussieland for another couple of days yet. That said, I think Fable II along with WoW will keep me entertained for a while.

[Belle Hibiki]

Oblivion! With guns!

[Sage]

I got it. On release day.

It's awesome. (Oh, man, I bet you're surprised by that answer, huh?)

I am sooooooo low on ammo, though. See, I thought -all- of the *OMFG SPOILERS BELOW*






















*SPOILER*Riot police in the vault were out to kill me. So I shot them all dead. Even Gomez and the Overseer. ...Whoops. So, yeah. 10mm pistol with no ammo, .38 special (I think) with no ammo, assault rifle with 20 rounds, and a bunch of clubbing weapons and a switchblade. I'm not in good shape.*SPOILER*








The gore is just spectacular. Saw a dude's head off, blow his head to smithereens, cut a leg off... it's just over-the-top absurdity. ...Which is what Fallout's always been about, so they captured it pretty well. Has anyone, uh... assisted Mister Burke? Does the outcome look as cool as it ought to?

[Alura]

Oh, man, a mole rat thing jumped on me and I hit SATS just as it hit me, so I ended up getting one of those AP-induced headshots, and I had a close-up view of the getting blasted in the race, right off of me.

[Szar]

I've helped Mister Burke, and oh my, the aftermath is remarkable.

And there's a locker in the Overseer's office that has, like, 100 10mm rounds in it if you're running low.

[Sage]

Well... it's a bit late for that, Nappa. But that's good to know.

I went straight for the elementary school upon emerging on the surface. That was where most of my ammo went away, for some reason. =(

[Szar]

You can go back into the vault, I think.

[Sage]

No worries. I have lots of bullets now. I also hate Landmine.

So very, very much.

[Kaden]

VATS is the sweetest thing ever. That's how I got through the school without using much ammo.

[Sage]

I whore VATS out for everything. Guns, melee, whatev. VATS.

My character is quite proficient with a baseball bat.

[Alura]

I just beat the story. I won't spoil it, but the ending has a really interesting decision.

I'm gonna go through it again and go through all of the side-quests this time. Going to try and have really good karma, since I was neutral last time

[Super Buu]

I'm tied between this and Dead Space. GRRRRNNNNNGGGHHH

[Belle Hibiki]

This game makes me want to put a bullet through my monitor. I did FINE in the Vault, but now that I'm out in the wasteland the fucking game crashes every five fucking minutes, and just now reset my entire system for no reason whatsoever. I'd blame it on overheating, except the system isn't even as warm as it gets in Warhammer mode, and Warhammer runs fine. In hot weather. With no fans.

Very, very fucking annoying when I just killed a dude that had a SNIPER RIFLE (zomg!) and some DR 15 armor right off the bat.

[Sage]

=\

Sorry to hear that.

...I have two sniper rifles. <.<

[Alura]

I play on the console. I'm an XBOX whore.

[Szar]

I have picked up, like, ten snipers. Then I repair them all into one Super sniper. That, plus V.A.T.S equals massive amounts of ownage.

[Sage]

Mmhmm.

I hate navigating the city, for the record. I get it. DC's run-down. BUT STOP BLOCKING MY PROGRESS AT EVERY FUCKING TURN. >=o

I also hate Dogmeat. YOU'RE USELESS, DOG, I'M TRYING TO SNEAK SO SHUT THE FUCK UP! He's locked up in my house now. Fucking dogs.

[Belle Hibiki]

Turned down my settings and game doesn't crash as often now. Still does SOMETIMES, but I can play like an hour +.

My character is a petite little red-headed woman that has an obsessive-compulsive disorder involving punching everything red in the face till they die.

As I related to Bra, I was pretty goddamn annoyed when Lyons told me I needed something "special" to join the Brotherhood of Steel.

Bitch, I just tore apart 10 supermutants with my fucking bare hands.

[Rem-13]

I'm making slow progress. I like to fuck around alot. It is great, this coming from a guy who disliked oblivion.
