    holy dicks when i shot a bullet in VATS the camera followed the fucking bullet to its destination

    that was insanely awesome
    I'm surprised at how much I enjoy VATS

    I thought I'd get tired of it pretty quickly but no

    i wear a hockey mask and sneak around killing people with spiked gloves it is the best of all possible worlds

    it's better to stuff yourself full of drugs and run around with a Deathclaw Gauntlet hacking people to bits and absorbing missiles with your face

    I have slain the Deathclaw

    So I HAVE BECOME THE DEATHCLAW
    unarmed is so fucking good i'm gonna try and pump it up even though i didn't tag it

    all tagging slills does in 3 is give you a 15 point boost right it doesn't bone you for using anything but the three you tagged like in 2

    the thing about vats is that it never seems like it's just running a canned animation

    it always feels like something awesome is happening

    I like turning people into a pile of ash in VATS.

    Should I wait until I have the four special slaves Grouse wants before I murder Paradise Falls?

    What. Where do you get said Deathclaw gauntlet

    crafted item

    you can find the schematic in the F.Scott Campground in the southwest of the map, it's right by the Dunwich building

    or you can find it in a random encounter with a wounded deathclaw and a dead wastelander

    or Bannon gives it to you for helping him with his scheme to blackmail that guy

    (I'm trying to get all three because the more of a schematic you have the better the item becomes)

    ok so

    I found this corpse in the ant tunnels with a revolver in his hand and a disc recording

    I followed the instructions, got the key, found the safe and what was the "package" that he killed himself over?

    motherfucking sexy lingerie

    I got jumped immediately after by a named raider trying to steal it

    this game is amazing

    okay guys

    will my character from F1 and F2 be viable? i really want to use the same archetype - small guns, speech, and steal with small frame and finesse. will i ever get any party members to use as mules? is small frame still in this one?

    i am installing this right now and am pretty stoked.

    in the same "level" where you find the safe, go all the way south on the map and I believe it will be on the left side too, you'll find a straight metal door leading to the room with the fire extinguisher where the key is hidden

    small guns and speech are essential choices for a first run through, I'd say

    I don't know if you mean sneak or lockpick by steal but either is good

    traits don't exist anymore, small frame is outright gone but finesse has become a perk

    you can't give things to party members, just stims to heal them

    steal is gone? gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. small frame is gone? double gay. i guess i will take barter instead because that way i can pump points into charisma/agility and be fine. the lockpicking minigame looks like something i don't want to deal with and i am unstealthy so i would screw up sneak.

    there's a tunnel under the water on the right side of the torn-up part

    hope you like mirelurks and tons of traps

    EDIT: Sneak handles stealing now too, I forgot to mention that

    F3 does a lot of merging of redundant skills

    First Aid and Doctor merge to become Medicine

    Sneak and Steal merge to become Sneak

    oh, cool. so if i take sneak i can pickpocket and shit and choose not to have to crouch and crack around all the time? i hate first person sneaking with a vengeance.

    well in order to pickpocket, you have to be sneaking

    but you move almost as fast as running and good god sneaking past super mutant brutes with chainguns is very useful

    sneak means you crouch down and move around all slow, which lets you do stuff like sneak attacks and pickpocketing

    but pickpocketing is its own skill
