The sniper rifle was the second weapon I got after the pistol :lol
Fried my 6 shots away and didn't use it again for 4 hours. I have another 4 shots now.
I also picked up the flamer, but didn't save. Wow that thing is crazy.
Also what the hell is up with fire ants
WHY WOULD THEY ACTUALLY BREATHE FIRE ON YOU

I have the feeling that I skipped over a lot of the main story.
the current main story mission was to pay this guy 100 caps to tell me info about my father; I decided to do side mission; randomly ended up at the Jefferson Memorial and suddenly I pick up tape of Pa Liam talking and a new quests should up about some other vault...dang

the first main objective when you get to megaton. It's the one where you have to talk that guy in the bar.

I'm wondering what the DRM is on Fallout 3 exactly.
I'm playing it on my PC but want to install it on my laptop as well. Most games give you multiple installs so this isn't a problem, Fallout 3 the same way? Also, if I do that will I be able to download my saved games via my Live Gamer Profile (doubtful I assume) or just have to copy them manually back and forth?

hmmm, you skipped about 2 steps. Im pretty sure you can still do the other quests (if you want to) but from a story standpoint you're only missing a little.
If you want to continue on the real path:
Go to three dogs hideout where he broadcasts GNR. Your quest book should show you but if not youll need to go to the north east and enter a subway tunnel to get to three dogs hideout. Once you talk to him he should put you back on the right path.

That's it?
What about the serial key you enter when you first sign into Windows Live from Fallout 3? I don't want to inadvertently disable my PC copy

Ok, thanks. It's not on my map, but do you know the closest location to it?

Is there anyway to turn off Mouse Smoothing?
It's seems to be defaulted on and it's pretty annoying. I never play any titles with it on (cept HL2) and really wish I could turn it off...
Also debating whether or not to play this with the 360 controller

that's the problem, I never paid him. I went to him again and he wouldn't let me pay him anymore.

ok, should be no problem.
Go through the back door of his bar, either pick the lock from outside or walk into the back room from the inside. Once there look inside the dresser near the computer, it'll have a password. Dont worry about remembering it just click on the computer and click on "visitors" then click your dads name. Shoult give you all the info you need, thats actualy how i did it in the first place.

thanks again. I'll try it out.
There is actually a guy up in a faraway building firing something at the cars. I thought it was mines too at first.Juice said:
I got lucky with him tho, went hidden and got close enough to open up VATS - then pulled off an incredibly lucky headshot. With the sneak attack bonus, it one shotted him dead, he was no more problem.
It's a good thing the game doesn't allow you to attack kids. I fast-traveled to the super duper mart, and he starts running at me really fast from far away. I initally thought he was a raider and kept trying to pull up VATS so I could kill him before I realized he was a kid.painey said:

Pick the dialog of "What do you have to sell?" or something like that. Then, it'll show your list of items, and the NPC's list of items, and how much money you both have. If you click an item in your list, it'll move it to his list and show you how much money will be exchanged with an arrow in the middle pointing to the person who will get money.
Grrr, fucking hell.
Just played for a half hour, did a bunch of selling and buying in Megaton...
Walk into the women's restroom and BOOM. Black screen with music still playing.
Had to end the process by alt-tabbing to my desktop.
Argh, did not quicksave.
I installed the ATI hotfix for FC2 and Clear Sky tonight, btw.
Fucking annoying.

I was just doing some random wandering across the overworld tonight, and I came across an old wrecked church. Naturally, I diverted course to explore.
When I get close to the church,
Radiant AI, or scripted event? Either way, it was awesome. The church wasn't even important enough to get a mapmarker, so it's neat to see all these little details.
EDIT: Oh yeah I remember another totally awesome moment, too. I entered a random grocery store. It was empty, but there were arrows painted on the floor and the walls. Following them, I came across a pressure plate on the floor. Activating it set off this crazy rube goldberg-esque scene: There were like ~40 boxes of food lines up, and they all fell over 1 by 1, like dominos. The final one landed on ANOTHER pressure plate, which turned on a concealed automated pitching machine. The machine started hurling baseballs at me, and I was dead by the time I even figured out what was going on :lol :lol
When I get close to the church,
suddenly a citizen rounds the corner from behind the building, COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I lol'd and was like "WTF" but then like 4 seconds later a raider came around the corner after him, wielding a flamer :lol :lol

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
The game is awesome so far. It is so rich on story detail, and it is technically amazing (PC in Ultra). Molyneux could learn a thing or two from the Bethesda guys. For all the impressive AI that the NPCs have in Fable 2, there is nothing like some good old scripted dialog that actually warms you up towards the story.
Also, any way to play this without the disk?
Play the game with everything on stock settings (remove the OC) and see if that makes a difference.chespace said:

Zzoram you are right. It autosaved when I came out of the room. 
Here's what it looks like on my PC. I'm too sleepy to keep playing and I hardly made any progress tonight. Still just putzing around Megaton and was just on my way to the market to look for food/medicine for the writer of the book.
