i was able to get all the goodies for the android thing. i talked to the droid and told him i'd kill the guy and his body guard, so he gave me his rifle...then i went to see him and told him the droid was alive to get the VATS upgrade...when the dialogue was over i killed him and his bodyguard and looted all their shit

win/win/win baby

eh, having a game is never THAT important that a few weeks/months will kill me

I just get them all through goozex so I don't actually have to pay any money

I'm on the short list for fable 2, saint's row 2, fallout 3, rock band 2, and unleashed

goalielax: this is exactly why i save every 5 minutes - haven't accomplished anything since then really so i'll go back and try out that scenario

just go give that dude outside Rivet City clean water to get karma back

where's the android mission?

11/5/2008 1:59:48 PM

Rivet City, in the lab.

11/5/2008 2:01:24 PM

yeah, i think i lost some karma when i told him where the android is, but like bous said, it's easy to get karma back...you can do the clean water, or you can give some scrap metal away for free to the dude at the plant in megaton. i steal/hack/pickpocket/lockpick just about everything i can and am still good karma because of the tricks you can use to up

the android is in rivet city, but i don't recall how it all started

11/5/2008 2:02:46 PM

I did not tell them were the Android was.

11/5/2008 2:04:28 PM

Picked up the Lincoln repeater. Dude, that thing makes my sniper rifle look like a bb gun.

11/5/2008 2:17:51 PM

Yeah, but you'll run out of .44 ammo very quickly.

11/5/2008 2:21:09 PM

Found a place that has a hidden sniper rifle that you can get right off the bat or anytime for extra ammo and repair fodder



That town above it is Megaton

"The planned downloadable content for Fallout 3 will be available rather quickly after the game launch and apparently it will amount to around 7 hours of gameplay. The PAX event also saw the Bethesda team show off more of the game – especially the beginning section – which was also open to be played by the public. Peter Hines, who often speaks on behalf of the development team, said, while talking to Shacknews, that "We want stuff that's going to be several hours. Not just like a one-off thing, but something like where you can download it and play it for X number of hours" while comparing the DLC that is planned to be released with the Knights of the Nine expansion that was delivered for Oblivion. It also seems that the DLC will be integrated seamlessly with the game experience, so you can go out and play it at any point during the course of the game. It seems that Bethesda has planned further DLC for Fallout 3 since the beginning stages of the game development. Even as the finishing touches are being added the team is creating new content, mainly because the developers are sure that the prospect of new stuff coming quickly will attract players to the game. The new content will be offered for the Xbox 360 and the PC versions of the game, while the PlayStation 3 from Sony is not set to receive any DLC."

They need to take some time to release the Construction Set. There are a ton of mods that I would love to see.

Like what? I want to see some UI changes, maybe to display more info.

11/5/2008 4:26:07 PM

will you guys stop playing so much and let me catchup

11/5/2008 4:27:07 PM

1: Melee VATS (I don't know why this isn't already in). Why shouldn't I be able to punch someone in the face, or knock their weapon out of their hand with a baseball bat?

2: Making skills and attributes "soft caps." So you can't normally increase them to more than 10 with any sort of levelling, but drugs and apparel bonuses would allow them to go higher than 10. I don't want to feel gimped when I roleplay a brute with 10 strength, since more than 8 str. is worthless after power armor.

3: New weapons, specifically the Vindicator minigun and Gauss Rifle, and more energy weapons. But I would love to see many other weapons scattered about the wastes.

4. Killable kids

5. Throwing knives

6. More powerful and less common Power Armor

you'll run across it in the museum of history when you're doing the head of state quest.

be sure to pick up everything else lincoln related while you're doing that quest as well, the dude will give you a lot of caps for it all.

This is one reason I wish my PC could run this game, is I feel I'm getting gipped on the free DLC/modding. I think the idea of free DLC would be a huge draw for a game, because that is so incredibly rare now it's sad

11/5/2008 4:40:57 PM

I have "regulators" coming after my ass at random times, for "all the evil I've been doing across the waisteland." haha

11/5/2008 5:33:43 PM

they come after you for being a dogooder as well...i have contract notes stating both

i'm disappointed by random encounters...i keep wanting to map somewhere and see the Dr. Who phone booth and other such shit (well, disappointed is a bit harsh for a game this good, but you get the point)

[Edited on November 5, 2008 at 5:38 PM. Reason : .]

11/5/2008 5:38:06 PM

^ yea the random encounters in the other game were priceless... holy hand grenade.. nuka cola truck with like 10,000+ caps... alien ship.. sigh. ha. (don't get me wrong i'm loving this game too)

11/5/2008 6:05:56 PM

Heh, I accidentally triggered the Reilly's Rangers quest, where you rescue these dudes on a building and then their boss gives you money for every map point you find. 800 unexpected caps (and I haven't even explored very much), and their medic heals you for no cost.

11/6/2008 12:15:33 AM

Also, that combat armor they offer might be the best armor in the game.

Almost as good protection as Power Armor, doesn't hurt your agility, and gives extra Action Points.

11/6/2008 1:02:17 AM

Lincoln's Repeating Rifle is the shit. combine that with sneak attacks and it's one-shotting most super mutants in the head

11/6/2008 2:59:18 AM

I was getting good karma throughout my game, but then I massacred everyone in Tenpenny Tower. Now I think I've maxed out bad karma. Oops.

The loot was worth it.

11/6/2008 9:28:26 AM

^^^Yeah, I picked one off a dead ranger during the escape from the roof, it's fantastic. You can repair it pretty easily from all the Talon mercs you run into.

Where do you get the repeating rifle?

11/6/2008 9:41:44 AM

what is full armor rating on that ranger combat gear? right now I maxed mine out at 28. I love it.

11/6/2008 9:44:29 AM

has anyone killed anybody that has given you good karma?

11/6/2008 10:47:57 AM

Yeah Tenpenny gives you good karma when you kill him, plus a sniper rifle and a snazzy red movie theater usher suit

and Burke does too, I think

11/6/2008 10:51:08 AM

i really wanted to kill these guys in "The Family" who i thought were evil last nite but I killed one and lost karma - i can't wait to play through again and be evil

"If at the end of a VATS attack, your opponent has less than 150 points of health, there is a 10% chance the Mysterious stranger will show up and finish him off. This perk is most useful if your game is set to a higher difficulty level."

Can't wait for my next playthrough on Hard. He probably was show up at least twice as often.

i talked to the old guy and he said they were evil. i didn't lose karma killing them if i recall correctly.

there's a points book to steal (lose karma) after you get one of the family's keys.

There's a Booblehead in the house of the old man on that bridge that said that they were evil.

11/6/2008 11:56:31 AM

I still dont know how to use the bobblehead that I have... its on my item list but when I click on it it doesnt do anything.... help?

11/6/2008 1:19:07 PM

once you have it it automatically increases your stats

11/6/2008 1:22:03 PM

The house you get in Megaton has a bobblehead collector's stand.

V it's permanent

[Edited on November 6, 2008 at 1:26 PM. Reason : ]

11/6/2008 1:23:44 PM

^^ does it stay on your item list? if I drop it does the increase go away?

11/6/2008 1:25:53 PM

i doesn't stay in your item list. i seriously doubt the stats go away

11/6/2008 1:27:02 PM

the problem with these kinds of games for me is that i usually like to do both good and evil things and end up being neutral the entire game :'(

I'm walls1441 and i approved this message.

11/6/2008 1:31:22 PM

that's why you've got to really TRY to be as evil as possible.

SHOOT FIRST. ASK QUESTIONS LATER. (and if it's a kid just keep shooting)

11/6/2008 1:37:29 PM

yeah i start out doing that but then i realize i have no idea what the plot of the game is, so i start asking questions and wind up neutral again

^ i think you just 'use' the bobblehead stand in your house

[Edited on November 6, 2008 at 1:42 PM. Reason : .]

11/6/2008 1:42:31 PM

The Bobblehead benefits are instantaneously effective upon adding it to your inventory. After you collect the Bobblehead, the pop-up tells you that. The collector's stand at the crib in Megaton is just for show.

11/6/2008 1:48:04 PM

Can you ever get a house thats right near where you fast travel to ?

I hate having to buzz the gate in tenpenny tower and take up the elevator to my room

I just wanna fast travel to my place, drop my loot off, sleep, then peace

11/6/2008 2:14:11 PM

the house in megaton takes like 5 seconsd to get to from the gates

oh.... yeah. nm.

11/6/2008 2:19:49 PM

that's what you get for being an evil fuck

11/6/2008 2:30:21 PM

At least I get a baller view
