175 hours damn. I'm at about 70 right now and I don't know how much longer I'll stick with it.
And I'm pretty sure Zeta is going to be the last DLC. I know I've read that somewhere, just cant remember exactly where.

They've already said that they'll release the followup DLC to Broken Steel at appropriate intervals on the PSN. Makes sense to give people the chance to buy and digest a single piece of DLC before releasing the next.neoism said:
I'd love to have had it all at the same time as the other platforms but at least we're getting it all, which hasn't been the case with all deals like this. I'm waiting for the GOTY edition anyway (Hoping they do a new guide for it as well).
Are either Anchorage or the Pitt worth downloading? I started playing again recently, and played through Point Lookout and playing through Broken Steel and they're pretty good so far, so are the other two up to the same standard. Or should I just wait until Zeta and see how that is. Not sure if I would actually buy any of these though, got like 4k MS points from the Coke deal a few months back :lol

I liked Anchorage. The environment is so different to the main game, it felt like being on holiday. The Pitt is definitely better though.

Decided to go back to Point Lookout to get more XP and the Bog Walker achievement and ran into the Blackhall Manor quest. Wow that was pretty fucking intense! Even with a stat of 100 in small guns :lol . So I decide I give the guy the book and
I'm playing good right? So he goes down into his fucking cellar, he has a dead swampfolk dude lying there, and he's doing some voodoo shit on this guy. I talk to him and say some shit about wtf are you doing. He says get out, I just couldn't let that guy sit there. Fucking blew his brains out, no negative karma. Sweet. Fucking freaks!

Just finished Point Lookout. Started at level 4 (lol) and left at level 12. Easily the best DLC I've ever played. It felt like its own goddamned game.
EDIT: Major facelift applied to OP.

After Zeta, I think Beth is done. At least for a long time. They've got Elder Scrolls V in development, not to mention other projects. All DLC combined, there's close to 30 hours - minimum - of gameplay for ~$40. I can't wait for whoever's holding out for the GOTY edition. They're going to be literally bombarded with shit to do.

That is going to be one to keep an eye on. From the sounds of it Obsidian was eager to do it, meaning they're going to pack this fucking thing with all they've got. 2010...

Same. I don't agree with having to buy Microsoft points for a PC game anyway, you console gamers put up with it but I certainly am not.RichardAM said:Ha, i've stopped buying the DLC for this very reason- just going to get the "proper version" once it's out.
If I have 100 points left over or whatever after a purchase. I have no assurance there will be a future purchase on the service that I want.
Getting constant crashes/freezing now, had a few when playing the Point Lookout stuff, but nothing too serious. In the underground section of a Broken Steel mission and it's just constantly freezing, tried turning off pretty much every mod, removed the OC on my GPU and CPU to check if it was that, and I disabled HDR and bloom and still no solution. It's a complete pain, and I imagine the people on my friends list hate me for signing in and out every 30 seconds.
I tried downloading the Unofficial Fallout 3 patch and that hasn't solved it either. Think I'll reinstall the game later and see if that solves anything.

A clean install always helps. I've done it twice with this so far. It was weird because I played Point Lookout without a hitch, then I crash three times within hour back in the wasteland.
Sorry if it's a stupid question but is there even a point to not hit the head or Torso every time in V.A.T.S mode unless the & is absurdly low. I tried shooting a soldier in the arm thinking he would not be able to use it but after dropping his gun he just picked up another one and continued shooting as if nothing happened. The fact that the dmg output is so low makes it seem useless.

I usually just go for head shots. No need to bother with crippling body parts for the most part.

Going to have to check this out. I didn't make anything my first play through. This time I'm trying to do all the stuff I missed the first time, including using all the schematics.
I find the dart gun, shishkebab and nuka cola grenades are the best. the railway rifle is pretty neat too.ILOVEASIANS said:
the shishkebab does a ton of damage especially if you get the pyro perk
the dart gun you only need one of since it will cripple regardless of its condition.

K. I just recently picked up the shishkebab schematic, haven't had a chance to make one yet. I'll be sure to check it out tonight.

I just got and finished the quest
As for normal being too easy, maybe I am playing it wrong, but the first few levels were harsh. Running out of ammo, running back to megaton to sleep in the bed all the time, and this is while trying to get headshots I'm 12 now, but there is still some stuff that can give me a run for my money.
where you go back to vault 101. I talked to the overseer and convinced him to open the damn thing, and then Amata kicks me out lol. I can't believe it. Talk about being betrayed. Do I ever see any of them again or do they stay down there the rest of the game getting ready?

So, one thing in the game that always weirded me out a bit...
out of all the vaults you uncover, why is 101 the only one which still has a semi-thriving human population? Why have all the other vaults either home to crazed mutants, or the people have killed each other off? It would have been cool seeing another vault with survivors in it

Gonna re-up. I played one character all the way through during the holidays last year PS3 version.
I'm going to buy the 360 version tonight, I think.
Not looking through this entire thread what is considered a challenging but useful build.
My PS3 character had small guns, sneak, lockpick, repair and whatever went over went into energy weapons. That character was a breeze...I don't want that again.

Because voice actors are expensive and something like Vault City would harsh their "VISION" for the Capital Wasteland. They did mention a control vault (similar to Vault 8/Vault City) in the game though so maybe we'll see it in Fallout 4. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vault_76djtiesto said:

Today I learned a lesson in facing some of the tougher enemies in the game for the first time.
So I was trying to travel to the RobCo. area to find some more Mole Rats for the optional quest for the Wasteland Survival Guide. I spend 20 minutes exploring and killing scads of RoboBrains until I finally hit the VAPL-84 Power Station. I see a truck and see what I thought was a Mole Rat.... unfortunately I met my first Yao Guai. I had heard stories about them and promptly greeted it with a missile to the face. I stared in amazement as it shook it off and kept coming, but at least it was was crippled. 2 shotgun blasts and Dogmeat's help finally put it down. I headed immediately to the facility (met Tinker Joe but his stupid robot didn't like me, WTF?), killed Rats with the Repellent Stick and Fast-Traveled to Megaton to unload. So I Fast-Travel back after updating the quest ... WHY WAS THERE A FRIGGIN' DEATHCLAW 20 FEET AWAY?
Of course, it seemed to notice me before I could shoot it. There was a gated area next to me, but I was afraid I wouldn't close the gates in time. I quickly backed away and shot a missile at it and it just seemed pissed hardly slowed down. Shot a second after the 5-second reload out of V.A.T.S but it only glanced it. Laser Rifle'd it twice and it still was coming... then Dogmeat wanted to be a hero and rushed it. I panicked and switched to a Combat Shotgun and pelted it 6 times out of V.A.T.S to finally off it before Dogmeat died. Good Lord those suckers are huge.
But the capper was Anchorage Memorial. Went there
and found the place was effing HUGE underground. I spent like an hour minutes killing Mirelurks (goddamn Mirelurk Hunter), searching for swag and raiding bodies. I learn the semi-hilarious story of the place and get to an Office area with a huge hole in the ground. I tell Dogmeat to stay and kill a few Mirelurks. I venture deeper into the underground pool and suddenly see a large enemy with outstretched arms. I'm like "WTF an underground Deathclaw? What is it?".
Mirelurk King. Walking upright. Humanoid. Pissed off.
Now I'm guessing it was the newness combined with the fact I don't like underground areas, but for some reason I completely flip out. I didn't even bother with missiles, I go for my newly-created Nuka Grenade. I toss the sucker and the resulting explosion was something out of Die Hard it was so beautiful ... yet he was still alive. He shot some blue thing at me (which did nothing) and I responded by sending Dogmeat and four more shotgun blasts. Upon it exploding into pieces I finished my descent into insanity and shouted, "What? WHAT HAPPENED???? Don't start nothing you can't finish!!! Trying to roll up on me with your arms all outstretched like you're gonna raise the roof, and now look at you! You all in pieces!! You the King of SHIT!!!"
... needless to say I soon turned the game off and will not touch it until Saturday night at the earliest. I need to play some BioShock or a nice, normal JRPG about kids shooting themselves in the head... Good Lord.
