I finished the game a couple of days ago, and I agree about the ending - what a frickin' disappointment. Otherwise the game was absolutely magnificent - GOTY easily - but the ending came way too suddenly.
I'm going to start a second play-through sometime soon, and be as evil as I can be.

Knowing what I was doing my second time through, my second character is WAY stronger then my first character. When the DLC comes out, I don't think I can go back to my first character.

I'm tempted to play through once again. Next time I'll be staying far away from the XP booster perks.

ammo is still a bitch to come by and I'm hanging on ever bullet I got
am I doing something wrong?
and I'm at the point in the game where I just talked to Dr. Li about dads location
am I doing something wrong?

What weapons are you using? Try and use as many as you can so that you can be more flexiable. Also don't waste ammo on low level loser enemies if you can just use a melee weapon to beat them up. There are certian perks and items that will stop different types of enemies attacking you which will also save you ammo.
Just got the
lincon repeater which is awesome! However that lincon quest has bugged on me I did all the things and cleared the statue of slavers but the anti slavery group hasn't arrived I read online that this quest is a bit buggy which is really annoying. Also did anyone else find the vault with the white noise to make super humans thing really sick! I felt so sorry for the people in there being driven insane. The vault with the gary clones on the other hand was hillarious "Gary" "Gary" hahaha.
Hah...ammo.
I have so much goddamned ammo it isn't even funny. 3000 rounds for the assault rifle, 2000 rounds for the 10mm guns, 500 shotgun shells, 400 .32 rounds, 350 .44 rounds, 75 missles, 22 mini nukes.
I'm running out of shit to kill. No more missions, level cap'd at 20....=(
Anyone have some neat ideas on what I can do?

Finally got around to beating the game. I have a feeling I would have been a lot more disappointed if you guys hadn't hammered that point so much. The final moments of the ending were extremely weak, but I actually did feel the lead up to it was cool. I probably wouldn't want to play that section again, but...

Well I have the 360 version so no mods. Can't wait for the DLC, though. Especially the Alaska one
Anyway, killing everyone sounds fun, but after that there really won't be anything left to do. Plus Harken is invincible even after doing the quest he's involved with.

Yeah, I think that's the problem.Huggy said:
I know it's supposed to encourage multiple playthroughs with different characters, but why should I start a completely new game when I still have half the map and even more quests to explore when my first character hit 20?
Along with the ending probably this game's biggest fault.
Yep, the level cap of 20 would be fine if you just levelled up slower. It felt like I leveled up faster and faster the closer I got to 20, which is the exact opposite of what it should be like.
My internet connection is broken right now (posting from another computer), which makes me unable to connect to GFW, which for some reason makes me unable to load my saved games, so while I try to fix my connection I'm going to take a break from the game and hope that a "real" level cap mod comes out soon. I just have way too much shit left to do to be stuck at 20.

I felt the same way, but as I posted above, the perk is your second character will likely be MUCH stronger then your first. I actually recommend playing good the first time through, so you'll be moderately strong (which fits the story pretty well) while being evil and super strong the second time.
My bigger gripe is with the party NPCs; each one (I've had) has some sort of issue (except Star Paladin Cross, who just sucks). Dogmeat dies so easily and has trouble following you; Fawkes blocks doors; Charon vanished on me for some reason and died (I almost wonder if it wasn't a bug and he bailed on me); and Clover disappears sometimes or falls really far behind, like Dogmeat.

You should have a MyGames>Fallout 3>[Username] folder where your saves are stored. Just copy your save from the [Username] folder up a directory into the Fallout 3 folder. It'll show up in the menu then when you're not signed in to Live.
You also don't need an internet connection to be 'signed in' to GfW Live; I disconnect my laptop from the network before booting up Vista and it signs me in to GfW Live every time I start Fallout 3 without fail.

I tried to love Oblivion, just rented Fallout 3 tonight (Left4Dead, Legendary, ..even Wii Music was all rented out at Blockbuster.. had to find something to get the nasty taste of Gears 2 out my mouth), damn I'm glad I decided to give this game a try. I don't remember the last non-pick-up-and-play-multiplayer game I have played. I am soooooo glad I didn't let the Oblivion connection get to me, so far really enjoying this game (being good/following the quest). I already can't wait for my second playthrough with so many little choices affecting everything.

No, the perk is not available at level 20.
Oxymoron said:
I noticed those things roam more as you level up. But individual baddies do not level up with you. If anything, as you level up the roam paths of the high level baddies open up so encounters are more prevalent.
On my first playthrough, one of the first places I went was the grocery store near megaton where there are about a half dozen raiders. It was quite tough, as I only had a crappy gun. Then on my second playthrough I went to the same place when I was level 14 and I cleared it out in 1 minute with a combat shotgun.
czartim said:
Thats something I notice as well, they dont really react differently to any armor in my experience. Raiders shoot at me even with raider armor and so forth. This is something that would make it far more immersive and far more important in choices of armor and what to carry as spare suits.

Just beat the game. Thanks for the warning about the ending: shit is weak and slightly maddening.
But everything leading up to it - yowza
I had 90% RAD resistance and used Radaway to no end. You'd hope it would recognize this, and shift the ending. Or, y'know, Fawkes could've simply done it. Meh. Overview was weak.

i didn't think the ending was bad at all. i can't remember the last time a game had an ending that blew me away anyway; at least fallout 3 had a sequence leading up to the finale that was completely absurd and hilarious. i've already mentioned it once, but "DEMOCRACY IS NOT NEGOTIABLE" had me cracking up.
the only change i would have made to what happened in those last ten minutes is to have more build-up to that sequence. once you trigger that final leg of the story mode, it's maybe ten minutes until the credits roll, which does seem a little rushed.
but fallout 3 was about the journey for me, not the destination. the first game in aaaaaaages that held my attention for 60+ hours.

Just got the game for 360. I escaped the vault and now am on the surface. I'm a little overwhelmed by everything. Unlike Oblivion, where the first town is right next to the cave exit, I'm staring at a vaste wasteland.
I hiked around a bit and encountered some bandits on a bridge. I plowed through them and was rewarded with a flamethrower. Then I went to Springvale, toured the school (creepy) and met a former prositute who, unfortunately, no longer offers her services.
Really liking it so far.

Yep, you can't keep going after the main story, but
the cutoff point is barely seconds before the very end. You may as well finish it up now and make sure you have the autosave turned on; another half hour of pure main story and you'll have it done, if that.
