    Centaurs in F3 are nothing compared to centaurs from F1/2.

    Operation Anchorage is very linear so far, but it is still pretty fun.

    Okay, so I just got this, been playing obsessively. I'm trying to get to the National Archives to get the Dec of Independence, but I can't get there. So much damn rubble. I'm just by that broken monument, the tall spire and I'm heading towards the NA - is that the correct way?

    Oh, also:
    On Rivet City, some kind called CJ went missing because I told another kid to tun away from his drunk mother, and now everyone's gone mad looking for them. There's no quest though - do I just find their bodies somewhere?

    "that broken monument, the tall spire"

    you mean the Washington Monument?

    the game should show you what metro stations to take on a quest like that

    Look, I came out of that Museum carrying 3 Dog's stupid dish, head for the giant dick monument, running low on ammo, and suddenly 5 Super Mutants with mini-guns and massive hard-ons come rumbling around the corner. It was not a pleasent time.

    I don't mind moira

    but I think after hearing so much of three dog's inane chatter my brain just couldn't take any more

    also I hate how he reports on you if you're a bad character

    "megaton blew up! also, this person was seen hanging around tenpenny tower. THEY ARE PROBABLY RESPONSIBLE."

    I mean, I did do it, but that reasoning is just unacceptable

    I don't really have a problem with Three Dog or Moira either. Moira's voice is annoying, but I don't see why everyone hates her. Three Dog is annoying, but he is a DJ. "Annoying" is a requirement for DJs.

    I really didn't have too much trouble crossing the Mall. Dogmeat has a ton of health, and charges Super Mutants. I shoot them while he bites them. Works out pretty well.

    I disliked Moira because it took me awhile to finally get to the Minefield quest, since I had other things going on. As a result, every time I wanted to sell off my scavenged goods I had to hear "SO HOW ARE THOSE HOT LITTLE POTATOES???" in her annoying voice.

    I've kinda let her grow on me since then (especially since my evil character ghoulified her).

    3-Dog was cool until I started my evil character and now I wanna tear his lungs out for talking shit about me on the radio.

    Yeah, 3 Dog is a punk bitch. Moira I'm ok with. She's very Pollyanna-ish, but I found that a little refreshing for the Fallout world.

    3 Dog died tragically and violently when he told everyone in the capital wasteland, for the tenth time, that the person who defused megaton's bomb, saved the Big Towners, and freed the slaves at Paradise Falls was the scourge of humanity and not to be trusted

    fuck YOU, guy

    Now I'm playing Fallout 3 again.

    I never played any of the expansions after I beat the game the first time. Mostly because my X Box took a shit after I beat it the first time and I had to do the whole RROD thing and then never touched the game after that.

    Now I'm beelining it to the point where I can get in the Citadel so I can do Operation Anchorage.

    One of the main features of Anchorage is that it lets you get power armor training without needing the Citadel.

    I didn't really have that problem

    The Super Mutants are really on the Mall proper, so if you stay around the perimeter you can avoid them completely

    That is actually a good idea, if you are playing a genius type character.

    edit: I'm trying to guess what the other icons mean. 2nd on the right might be 'Heal' and 4th on the right might initiate a conversation. And I guess 3rd on the left is "stay behind me/follow me". But is 4th on the left "give me a hug"? And what's with the flowers.

    Going counter-clockwise, my guesses are:

    Fight
    Inventory
    Stand back
    Come to me
    Lets talk
    Go away/walk off
    Use chem
    Gift - I wonder if that means give them a gift, or they might have a special ability to gift to you, like "here's that bowl of noodles I was cooking up, give me 2 more days for another bowl"

    That companion wheel is pretty nifty, but that seems to be on the console. Also, showing me their WG? I love you, Obsidian.

    Also, I was referring to generic friendly NPC. The guys in Big Town for example. I was trying to make Ben Canning into a terminator, but the game told me I was a dick and I should stop.


    Woo, look at that. I hope that is faster to use than the list type thing in 3.
    The companion command wheel looks awesome. I only have Dogmeat so far, but have to go through a list is a pain. It would be nice if you didn't have to be within touching distance to issue commands. I should be able to yell "come here, Dogmeat! Here, boy! Come on!" or something, and Dogmeat should come if he is within a certain radius.


    Also, Op. Anchorage feels like a completely different game. I did a little bit of it yesterday, I am at the base right now, I haven't done any of the three missions yet. Taking a little break from FO.

    in F3 you take take 10 intel for the point bonuses per level, not for the interaction options you get for being smart.

    I just beat Operation Anchorage and despite being really linear it was pretty fun. it felt like they were trying to make it into a really straight forward shooter instead of an RPG. It was pretty neat but it felt really really easy with all the health canisters/ammo canisters everywhere.

    I'm doing The Pitt now and man-oh-man I am absolutely loving it. Right now I'm
    in The Steelyard collecting ingots

    And I am scrounging for stimpacks and water. This is exactly the game I want to be playing.

    I wouldn't go 9 int, but assuming you have Broken Steel, which you should, it is kinda stupid to not have some extra points in it. When characters hit 30 they all become equal in the main stats anyways, but the character with a higher starting int will be much better off. And there's plenty of game left after 30.

    I'd also put some points in strength. Being able to carry extra weight on every trip would definitely add up. End and Cha also have some nice perks tied to them.
