Any way to get
Fawkes back in my group?

Yeah, I ran into her. :lol Sort of off-topic but I'd love to see Bethesda attempt an oblivion-like game on a smaller scale, but set it in modern time. Basically simulate a city, give the player the ability to join a range of groups (various gangs, or cops) for missions and so on.

Actually its
The Chinese Invasion simulation. Braun set it up as the fail safe, apparently everyone except for you and dad were trapped in there forever or for at least about 200 years and they couldn't leave the simulation. By activating the chinese invasion you finally give the people release from Braun's torture and you get an exit out of the simulation for you and your dad while leaving Braun trapped in there alone forever. You get good karma points for picking the most humane solution

Is that what was inside the abandoned house?Lostconfused said:
I'm going to have to do that on my next play through.
I am not 100% sure this works all the time, however, I was trying to get to the National Archives today for a mission. The thing is, the quest didn't put a directional marker over it - so I added my own overtop the location on the map so I would know I was headed in the right direction.painey said:
When I did that tho, the dotted line went AWAY from the National Archive to a point outside of Rivet City. And from that location, the dotted line went to the National Archive.
So I investigate and the first point it was leading me to, was a metro station - and I was able to take that right to the National Archives.
So my advice is to add your own map marker over top the location and see if there is some secret way to get there.

Yeah, I was wondering about that and asked many pages ago, but no one responded. I was wondering if you had a high enough agility if you could jump up on the ledge. I tried and tried and got close only once, but it seemed there was an invisible wall there.disappeared said:
The PC in the upstairs of the school was talking about them tunneling to the Megaton armory, so I wanted to get in on that loot, but if they were all dead I guess they didn't make it.
Koomaster said:
There are a lot of invisible walls in the game which is another thing that puts me off. There is one area that I can't enter because it has a chain linked fence surrounding it and my lock picking level isn't high enough to open it. There is a way to get up to the top of the fence by jumping on some rocks but you can't make it over anyway possible.
It is kind of demoralizing when here you are, with kickass power armors, elite Plasma gear, shooting the crap out of monsters, and you have help from a follower who is using a Gatling Laser to assist with the damage count...
and out of the blue a guy in trench coat decides to show everyone what is meant by 1 hit-1 kill with a freaking pea-shooter. =x
I won't feel so incompetent if Beth dresses him up with a sniper rifle of some sort. >_>

Wat? That's pretty much my favorite perk, I love the random moments he shows up; for example *ending spoiler ahead*sennin said:
when I went all VATS on the Enclave captain or whatever at the final showdown in the Purity chamber, my mysterious friend shows up and blows him away--best ending evar! :lol

I'll often catch myself just wandering the wasteland and watching the sun set.
It is my favorite perk as well, I just feel like a fool when multiple VATS assisted targeting does jack shit to a mob's hp, and he gets the job done in 3 seconds tops while we are still playing the protracted monkey game of cover, movement and fire. >_> What combat school did he graduate from? I want to sign up.
A magnum shouldn't be a match for a mini-gun. Gatling guns are supposed to provide suppressing fire using the threat of sweeping arcs of death, and it loses to a revolver in FO3. Beth was definitely going for style here, but I would appreciate it if my ego is better managed in the process.

belvedere said:What .ini are you using?
I have all of my settings maxed out and still see some questionable textures.
Those you posted look snazzy.
Chiggs' ini. He tweaked it using Oblivion .ini settings, since it's the same engine and many of the commands are identical.
Chiggs said:
I changed uGrids from 9 to 7 since it was too much of a hamper on my FPS outside, but everything else I left the same.

Could anybody tell me how to get to
I'm having a helluva time combing all the freakin' tunnels.. Thanks in advance friends.
Reily's Rangers Compound?
Completed the Stealing Independence quest tonight.
:lol :lol :lol @ running into
at the end. I opted to
WARNING: If you have both in your possession when you return to rivet city to complete the quest, you will LOSE both. I wanted to put the real one in my house, and only turn in the fake one
Just for the lulz having it in my desk would bring me. But alas... unless you drop it off in your house ahead of time, that won't work.
Does anyone know what the deal is with the room off to the side of Button's room? With all the empty Protectron pods? I found a replacement robot and tried to load Thomas Jefferson's memory into it, but when I opened the pod all he did was blair music
Also, I saw a screenshot earlier of someone character wearing a powered wig - where does it come from?

You actually get it in Button's office, it's back on his desk I believe...

I finished it a few seconds ago and yeah, that was pretty terrible. Didn't show anything of what happened to the towns either. I liked theZyzyxxz said:

Overall the thing that they really got right with this game was the atmosphere, most of the things they threw into the story had already been done and done better in the previous games IMO. Bethesda still has a long way to go in the writing department.
And yeah, Big Guns evil next.
INDIGO_CYCLOPS said:
I thought so. That's actually WHY I killed him - I figured I could loot it off him. Ehhh... lord knows I wanna run around pwning mutants and raiders in a powdered wig, but I don't know that I wanna go all the way back there to get it.

Yeah definitely, I'd just wanted to know what would become of the Oasis
I love the fact they put Harold in but I gotta wonder how the hell he get across the states
Speaking of Vault 101
I thought it was kinda cool they ended that quests similar to the first game, do you always get kicked out no matter how good/righteous you are? I killed Amata's father so yeah. Also can you kill Amata in the beginning of the game? If so how does that affect the quest later on

You didnt need to kill him, once you make him do the fake one you can just walk back there and take it. I tried to upload a personality into that robot as well.. mine just walked around and did nothing?

I swear, despite several complaints I have, I've got freakin' blue balls for this game. I can only play it for about an hour and a half a day at my friend's house when he has class. If I wasn't so squeezed for cash I would buy a 360 or upgrade my PC just for this game. It could have been a lot better, I think, but what's there is awesomeawesome.
I've finished Fallout 3 but I'm not sure how many endings there are. The one I saw certainly had room for improvement, and it is better than Oblivion's main quest, although frankly that's not saying much. Like everyone else I finished at the 20 hour mark, and I've probably only seen a quarter of the world.
Every skill is at base except for (Lv 13 Wastelander):
Speech 50
Sneak 50
Small Guns 75
Science 64
Repair 82
Medicine 60
Energy Weapons 70
Lockpick 43
Perks: Toughness rank 1, Thief, Survival Guru (Moira Brown's quest), Strong Back, Sniper,
Scrounger, Rad Regeneration (Moira Brown's quest), Power Armor Training (main quest), Mysterious Stranger, Gun Nut rank 2, Educated, Daddy's Girl, Comprehension, Commando, Ant Sight (Those! quest)
SPECIAL: Str 6, Per 6, End 5, Cha, 5, Int 7, Agi 7, Luck 7
For what this might be worth, I have several regrets with my character build. The biggest has to be 50 points in Sneak, when I should have put that into Lockpick. Sneak was pretty useful in the Super Duper Mart, where there's more cover and isolated enemies, but from midgame onwards almost every hostile encounter is a confrontation against at least 3 enemies. In certain areas that are war zones, you have 2 groups of 3v3, and all you can do is pray they don't turn on you skewering the odds into a 6v2 . That's the reason why I regretted taking Sneak. Oh sure, the first shot is a critical, but his buddies will be alerted and that's when I'll assert that even Toughness is more useful.
The reason why I took on perks that grant skill points is so I can allocate the 20 points from each level elsewhere, thus ensuring a more balanced character. I suspect that a jack-of-all-trades is highly possible if one knows the location of all 323(4?) books + Comprehension. If I were to start a new character, I definitely would like to check out Black Widow and Child at Heart.
The point I want to make is to encourage those who thought that they might have made a bad build and want to restart into looking forward - level 8 when Scrounger avails itself is the turning point. Don't get caught in the loop of character building for > 5 hours replaying Megaton over and over with little progress made worrying about the little details - details that can be rectified. With the sheer number of skill books around and resources in abundance, I'm prone to argue that there is truly no "wrong" build for Fallout 3. See, even a half-baked build like mine can get through the game just fine, so I'm pretty sure anyone else who is convinced they made some errors with their statistical choices can manage FO 3 with little trouble.
As for my gear, I have nothing special. I was using Chinese AR all the way until its condition started to degrade badly and I've yet to locate another for its spare parts and my armors are all looted off the bad guys. I've not even seen a Fatman or unique gear until now.

So I'm doing the Head of State sidequest and I'm at the end where I'm supposed to meet the dude at Lincoln Memorial only he isnt there and the pointer is telling me to go to the mall northwest metro entrance....
I think my shit messed up, or does anyone know what I do?

Same thing happened to me. I went to Megaton, worked on some other quests and checked back later. They showed up eventually. At the Northwest Metro spot.
EDIT: I did go down to the other end of the mall and kill all the Supermutants down there to make sure that wasn't a problem.
cleaned out all the slavers at the memorial earlier
