They said they are and that it will be substantial. But for Fallout 4, I want to see a different part of the country. We've seen California twice, now the DC wasteland, change it up again. Do Chicago. Or somewhere in Texas. Or Alaska, since it's important in Fallout cannon.beelzebozo said:

the fact that it's not only coming, but that it will be something big, makes me squeal in glee like a little girl.

Very good.
I can't imagine playing with a controller with that game. Navigating in the pip boy without a mouse should be tiresome.

I think it needs to be said again and again. The dialogue in this game is so damn perfect and funny.
I'm kinda at a loss what to do in the Lamplight Caverns.
. Anyone figured it out? I'm afraid
.
So the kids say there's a Vault in there. Only door I can find that could lead to it says its a door to a reactor. You need a key for it though and I can't find out how to get it.
I already soured the relationship with the sheriff kid a little

yeah, but dusters are awesome.Chiggs said:Not very nice, Talon Company. :lol
Yes, that's right. Groups of hitmen are now ambushing me because I'm such a nice guy, and now peasants are buying me presents in Megaton.

Where's 'F' in the Xbox 360 controller?
Does the Messsenger Pad works?
Heh I should've asked.
Is there a 3rd person view button? Try holding it and see what happens when you rotate the right joystick.

Ditto. Met them in a destroyed house once and another when I fast traveled to a location. Their armor is fairly good to use early on in the game.

wish there was a way to lock the frame rate....

Great controls. Also I forgot that the melee system is basically the same as Oblivion's. The combat system feels so much better with the really clear shots, thick thuds, and nasty slices. Feels like you are really doing damage.
Oh, dont think there are any real permanent storage spots. Just try to put stuff in a desolate area I guess.

6 hours in and I'm currently working on the
quests. They definitely seem to be worth it for the rewards.
Can't say enough good things about this game. I hated Oblivion, sadly, but this game has me draining away the hours without thinking about it.
Freaking awesome as hell.

Not sure how useful these auto-regenerating limbs mutation is, but it sounds good. Haven't left my limbs alone long enough to see how quickly they regen.

Put this observer in the Mirelurks nest...why can't I kill them Moira?! WHY?!
It seems like most of you guys have gone down the quest route. Anyone else here just running around and doing quests intermittently? First thing I did was run out into the world and kill, kill, kill. I've slowly progressed through some quests but always end up falling off the course and exploring the area more. My character is at level 5 right now but I've got some quality gear that is level 22 and up. Pretty bad ass stuff but I can't even use most of it yet. :lol The Fat Man has saved me so many times I can't count.
Holy shit, I discovered two families of incestuous cannibals :lol; I broke into their basement only to find bodies all cut up ready to eat. When I came out of the house, the two couples confronted me and I had quite choices to make
:lol I ended up repaining the place up with their blood. Their kids ended up being adopted by their grandpa who lived across the street.
edit: choice 3 gave me the option of getting free human meat pie from one of the ladies :lol :lol
- Tell them they are sick fuck and kill them all in a flurry of gunfire
- Pretend that cannibalism is totally okay and fine with me and can I go now?
- Tell them I like human flesh too and I'd like to join them for a snack

I did that to start with, then at level 6, I decided I want to see what DC was like. Now, I think I'm going to do some more exploration and see what I can find. I'm particularly interested in the north west quadrant of the map, but I don't know why.Core407 said:

Yeah I'm still on Following in His Footsteps and I probably won't get around to it until much, much later.
Exploring is so damn addicting.

I was in a situation like that once. I was crippled and badly out numbered (with low ammo), so I went along with it. I think it's for the best, since it doesn't seem like something they can easily control.
Y2Kev said:
Wow, I've probably put that in that many hours if not more, and I have about a 1/4th of the map covered. With that said did you leave it on hard or medium? Anyhow, I've done a few side quests so far as well which have taken up a good bit of time. I don't know if it is because I left on hard or what, but ammo had just been tough to keep up with even with the perk. All in all this game has been great and a time eater.

Totally what I'm doing, just exploring and doing quests that come along. Kinda like a roving mercenary. I haven't touched the main quest since leaving the vault, and at this point (25 hours in) it'll probably be 100 hours or more before I start it.
There's whole sections of my map that I've not unlocked a single location in. The northeast quadrant seems especially devoid of locations, on my map I mean. I think I'll head up there as soon as I return a violin to an old lady.

Interesting dialogue option I never noticed, apparently with a high enough speech (mines just over 60) you can convince Moira to
I ended up reloading a previous save after I did it though because

On another note, does giving purified water to that bum outside Megaton ever amount to anything, or is it just a permanent source of Karma enhancement? Actually, what do you get if you ask him in something in exchange? I always give him a water or two for free because I assumed it was going to lead to something better.
cancel production of her book, if she agrees you'll get 200XP for completing her quest line, a rather large discount on repairs, and a new perk that causes you to get crit by enemies only half as often, plus a Karma downer.
I liked doing her quests and the awards associated with them

Did you try using the local map? Same thing happened with Oblivion, entrances on the compass would be a bit away from the actual entrance.

Yeah, I had trouble with it, too. It's a huge poster on a wall on the second floor, I believe. If you have trouble seeing it, turn on the PipBoy's light.Danne-Danger said:

I went there and immediately knew something was wrong. I expected to find these kinds of people, but they all said EXACTLY the same thing, and "strange meat" indeed.
I killed all those bastards and knew what I was going to find in the basement. The fridge just affirmed my suspicious.
I think if I had the child perk I could of said something to the kid though.
*I also feel that the game is just too easy. I've played on Very Hard the entire time and don't run into anything difficult. At level 10 I'm still in the general areas with 3000 caps and 400 ammo for all my weapons which I have 2 of in perfect condition. Oh and 120 stimpacks.
I haven't run into the BoS or the Enclave yet though.
I still need to travel to GNR. :lol

Open up the CD and find the FalloutLauncher. Make that your shortcut.
edit: kewl
Quagm1r3 said:
You have to use the launcher to edit many of the graphics options, including resolution.
By the way, has anyone found a fix for the framerate going from very high to randomly dropping to unplayable numbers? For example I'll have a very good framerate when I load the game, but then if I turn around 180 degrees it becomes unplayable until I turn around again. Using very, very low settings seems to fix this but I don't want to use very, very low settings. I'm pretty sure I had Oblivion looking better than this when I played it with my x800

There is a slaver in paradise falls who keeps giving you UNLIMITED ITEMS ranging from meds to ammo to caps, no guns. If you have the patience to keep initiating a convo then you could easily stock up on enough shit to sell. He hands out a really good amount of stimpacks too but it's totally random. I made a good 500 caps in item value in 10 minutes due to getting a ton of stimpacks in a row. This is the closest thing to an easy cap cheat that I have found in the game so far.
The only catch is that I think you need to be at least Very Evil in karma status for this to work. I had talked to him when I was just Evil but it wasn't untill I killed 3 travelling salesman and robbed the fuck out of them and thier guards that I became Very Evil and he started giving me stuff.

At my 26th hour of playtime I finally got to Rivet City..... I think I've already surpassed my Mass Effect playtime, and from what I can gather, I'm still at an early stage in the main quest.

Played this for the first time today (PC) and I gotta say I was pretty damn impressed. I never really cared for Oblivion and it's cliche fantasy world and never played Fallout 1 or 2. The world seems pretty big and each encounter with an enemy seem to be quite thrilling. VAST brings such a different POW to the regular first person shooting and I have to admit that it works pretty well.
Graphics are sweet, sound got some kick behind it and controls simply work. Only minor detail that bothered me was the look of 3rd person mode as the character seems to be floating around but I got used to it pretty quick.
