    They half assed the NPC dialog for evil PCs. On the radio threedog calls my character a "reaver bitch", but in person he reacts normally. His dialog should have been, "Look, I don't want to work with someone like you, but fix the damn relay and I'll tell you what I know. Otherwise I have a lobby full of paladins who will turn you into gravy." Then there is
    "You blew up Megaton? Well, I'm very disappointed in you. Now go flip the breaker, sweetie."

    i thought maybe threedog would be a bit more worried about this supposed cannibal antichrist he's been railing on on his program giving him a personal visit to call him on his slander

    he wasn't, so i killed and ate him

    Once again, I managed to skip over part of the main quest when I wondered into
    Vault 112

    I did it earlier by skipping
    GNR and going to Rivet City first..

    How very annoying.

    I wouldn't have minded skipping GNR. So much confusing tunnel hopping for what? A boss fight and one dude who tells me to go to Rivet City? There's really not much story to miss there.

    No, the corpse stays there, Lyon's Pride just doesn't show up to help you. You can even do Three Dog's quest for a different reward.

    Arkansas, the sniper in Mine Town died from... mysterious complications... early in my playthrough, and when I got the Strictly Business mission, I just had to collect the other three.

    You're fine. The quest adjusts itself to take into account who's still alive. If you killed Susan Lancaster, she won't be on the list of targets you need to enslave.

    EDIT: Beaten. Twice!

    It's edgy and gritty, and that's all I really need from a Fallout game, though.

    Give me the option to say 'Fuck you asshole, enjoy this bullet to the brain!' and I'm having a good time, haha.

    Edit:

    On a side note, what REALLY impressed me with fallout was how the different dialogue choices really do make a difference in how the NPC reacts/responds.

    What I mean is, if you play a game like Mass Effect, they do these little tricks where you'll realize that, despite having 5 different things to say in a dialogue prompt, the NPC will react the same way regardless...i.e. their response 'fits' your choice regardless of what you say'...Or they'll give you three ways to basically say the exact same thing. Not a big deal, but I noticed it in almost every NPC conversation. They did it all through KOTOR too.

    My impression was exactly the opposite. In FO3 what I said rarely freaking mattered except for that one critical dialogue choice which sent the quest in direction A or B. Mass effect at least came off a lot more natural, especially the dialogue options with your crew members and certain important npcs (like the Admiral). And renegade Shepard actually has badass action-movie cliche lines, btw.

    What I meant was moreso the fact that they let you say a bunch of different stuff in Mass Effect, but how the NPC responds is typically the same regardless...whereas, in FO3, saying something dick will usually illicit a unique response in direct reference to your dick comment.

    In Mass Effect it's often:

    ex: *oh man collapsing cavern!*

    Your choice:
    LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!
    How can we open that locked door over yonder?!
    What does that giant laser do?!

    NPC Answer regardless: Quick, that giant laser over there! If we can turn it on, it might shoot a hole through that door so we can make our escape!

    I'm just saying FO3 tends to have more unique lines of dialogue based on what you say, rather than having a '1 line fits all' response from the NPC.

    Both games do it, but it I just happen to notice it all the time in ME.

    The boss fight for GNR was fucking awesome though. I mean, it was my first time seeing 'one,' and I literally thought there were explosions or an earthquake or something going on before I saw him...then I turn around and see it, shopping cart armor and all, and I was like...damn dude.

    I didn't even know about that enemy type til' I saw it, so that was a nice surprise.

    Different strokes for different folks I guess.

    The remedy is to either not be able to blow up Megaton, or not be able to go into places like Rivet City if you do...the way I see it, Bethesda let us do and see everything despite the continuity errors.

    Besides, assuming you do blowup Megaton, you're an evil son of a bitch, and towns like Paradise Falls react totally different to you because of this, so that's cool at least.

    So I'm not really that far, but how the fuck does anyone even know you did it? All you did was place some stuff on the bomb, and that was probably done sneakily (or else someone would have taken them off). Even if someone did randomly see you doing that part, they're blown to smithereens. And when you push the button it's not like you're in a crowd of people. It's you and two others. One doesn't ever leave, and the other really doesn't seem the talkative type. So how does anyone know?
