I just cannot stand to use it, I am sure I am in the minority here. The fact that 2/3 of the screen is used to show the side pictures instead of showing information makes it very un-user friendly and a pain in my ass to manage information.
That is my only major gripe about the game
Pretty funny blowing Tenpennys head off and walking around his tower in his suit and no one seems to notice:lol
Loving how you can approach quests, and interacting with people in some many ways, just killing people and taking a key they might be holding is much more fun than killing some Radroaches. I can see me missing out on so many quests this way.

Regarding a quest of sorts in the Megaton and a possible bug:
I fixed all 3 of the water leaks, went back to the purification center, and WTF? Walter is gone. So I figure he's roaming around town. I have spent over 45 minutes looking for this fucker and he is NOWHERE to be found. Every other NPC I've met I keep seeing, but Walter is glitched or something. I've tried re-entering town numerous times hoping for a reset or something but he never is in his shop, or around it, or ANYWHERE in Megaton. Anyone have any advice?

Yea, it's fine. The PC version is definitely the version to get if you've got a fairly modern rig, but there's nothing wrong with either of the other versions.

I tried doing it for a day of in-game time inside the plant, and then for two in-game days outside and he still hasn't showed up. It's really starting to piss me off. I even went and did the entire Blood Ties quest line after having this problem thinking that by the time I finished it and returned to Megaton that he'd have returned, but he's still missing.

How can you have a Fallout game without vault boy slides? altho i wish the text was smaller for the pc version, its still got that console fontitis of being VERY LARGE TEXT SIZE when i would prefer it look smaller
Zzoram said:
well to be fair the original games had the items as a smal sprite and then just info in text boxes about them. I like Vault Boy tho, I thought the UI and fonts and everything in oblivion was hideos.
OK, the PC version has this annoying thing going on that others have noted on the official forums. Basically, the game skips. According to FRAPS I'm getting a rock solid 60 fps yet, regardless of settings, there is a constant (slight) hitching that occurs at all times (especially obvious during camera panning or movement of any type). It just looks and feels sloppy.
Now, it certainly doesn't RUIN the game, but it does drag down the experience a bit. Nobody seems to have any idea what is causing it, though.
I have a feeling this problem isn't going to be addressed.

What's everyone recommending for SPECIAL? I'm about to step outside but don't want to commit without some GAFfirmation.
SPECIAL
Strength 6
Perception 6
Endurance 6
Charisma 5
Intelligence 7
Agility 6
Luck 4
Skills
Science
Small arms
Speech
I just want to be able to shoot & hack things and still have decent dialog options. Ideas?

Anyone have any advice for a good starting build?
I'm on 6s and 5s, but that feels too balanced. I'm also considering Small Guns, Melee and Science... but I'm not sure.

Game is so, so good on PC.
I was really expecting this game to be an oblivion mod and seeing as I hated Oblivion that was the last thing I wanted.
Glad to see I was wrong, the setting, guns/vat system, story, a non wonky ass sleep to level system and much more make this game incredible.
Finishing up some work for tomorrow then back I go.

Personally I went STR, INT, LCK and Charisma while making my agility pitifully low. Here's a 1up blog in which the reviewers discuss which stats they found helpful:

OK, my evil side took over. Right away I was given a quest in megaton and then I met a fellow who gave me an interesting proposition...
basically I nuked the shit out of megaton...but now I am reading all these quests. have I messed up huge? it was so awesome to see it blow....
Oh no, it's not related to loading. If I stand in any room and slowly pan the camera it constantly "skips". It's difficult to explain, but it's really nothing like HDD stuttering or anything like that. It's just this constant little hitch in the framerate that occurs 100% of the time. Even when the intro logos (which are realtime) pan over the screen you see this same issue. It drives me nuts.ZombieSupaStar said:
Fortunately, with so many other games to play right now, I don't mind waiting a bit to see if they fix it. I really like what I've played thus far, though, and can't wait to continue.

What is the best route to
Whatever way I try to go I just run into rubble you can't climb over and other locations I'm not exactly looking for (
).
The quick travel is a life saver, I wouldn't be able to stand manually hiking it back to places I had already been.

It's sad that I can't remember the exact details for some reason but I was talking to someone in the town about how the bomb would be dangerous. I believe it was the main sheriff guy you meet when you first get into town. What else you do beyond that, I don't know.
Thanks for the tip, going to try that.

The difficulty curve in this game is insane or maybe it just doesn't exist. Three hours into the game i am at lvl 4 and fighting super mutants and trying not to die every 30 seconds. I guess thats because i am trying to do the main quest line but thats only because i tried doing some side quests and those were too hard because i was dying in seconds as well or just running out of ammo.

Definitely ain't getting Fallout 3 for now, got hit with a $100 parking ticket today. Awesome. Have to pay that, save money for Gears 2 and the normal costs of food and gas. And no Fallout 3. Maybe down the road.

This game just ruined Oblivion for me. I wanted to play evil, but I can't since the characters don't all have the same voice or say the same thing! They feel like people dammit! You really have to roleplay since you can't max out all the skills so you have to make a specialized character and go with it. And also, I love how you can't do everything unlike Oblivion where every quest was open. I hated in Oblivion how you couldn't change the outcome of the quests like in the Dark Brotherhood. You couldn't warn anyone of the purification and had to kill them all. In Fallout 3, you have the choice dammit!
So fucking amazing, there are no words.

I guess I wasnt the only one who had this glitch- I saw it pop up in multiple forums, the solution, weird enough as it is, if you fight butch, beat him unconscious and then when you sit down the test works.....
god, this game better be good, I had a game stopping glitch in the first 10 mins....
