    Oh god I just got this game.

    It is a good game.

    Not very far yet.

    But it is a good game.

    Also, I have a lunchbox now.

    I didn't get offered any work there, weird. Maybe I'll go back and see what there is to see.

    You get the schematic after peacefully finishing the Blood Ties quest. Make sure you don't piss them off, or he probably won't give it to you.

    Do the quests. Then get him pissed off. Pillage and plunder. Pillage and Plunder.

    Guys, when you are outside, do you get something similar to this (referring to the lighting):

    It might be easier to see in high quality mode. By the way, this was on the pc version.

    God I love this game. Bought it expecting to be decent but didn't expect it to be this great. It wrenched my attention away from FarCry 2 and a bunch of other games I'd been playing.

    Or for a semi-less profitable but constant route...
    Talk to Vance about striking a deal in which Arefu will donate blood packs in return for the Family not attacking the town. Once you get Evan to agree and talk back to Vance, you can give him your blood packs for 10 caps.

    Not the greatest option, but it's still there...

    I GOT THE FIRE SWORD.

    I'm about to make another one so I can repair the first one.

    It's frickin' sweet.

    Also, Fire Ants:
    I did not take the name literally and I got too close. I did not expect them to belch flames out at me at all. The ordinary Fire Ants are pushovers. Two shots to the head with the pistol is all it takes for me. The bigger ants can withstand fucking frag grenades and it just pisses them off!


    I am turning my character into a devestatingly accurate shooter. I just got the Gunslinger perk. If I can't kill it with a pistol I can persuade them to do what I want, with my ever-higher Speech skill. I need to increase my Repair skill, though.

    I actually was a bit saddened to see Fallout 3 come with the most binary good/evil choices of any of the series that I can remember. I could just be looking at the past with rose-colored glasses, of course, but if the choice is to basically be a slave-driving murdering douchebag who blows up whole settlements for a measley amount of bottle caps or the descendant of Jesus Christ himself just for helping a couple people out here and there, I think I can tell where most people will end up on that spectrum.

    I vote for slave-driving murdering douchebag myself.

    Edit: and fuck fire ants - fuck them with a large rusty convenient piece of re-bar in every orifice.

    Do what I do after being nice.

    Steal.

    Also, fuck that fucking Ranger hotel forever.

    So I'm about a third of a bar away from hitting level 13, and despite stealing here and there I'm 'Very Good', under which it says 'Paladin'. Having amassed all this goodness, I felt it was high time to visit the rat-bastards who tried to get me to blow up Megaton, and with my faithful pooch at my side, I head off towards Tenpenny Tower, prepared to knock some evildoer's heads.
    So I show up there and pay the doorman 100 caps to let me in. I speak to a few of the residents - how these people survived the wasteland long enough to get to Tenpenny Tower is beyond me - and decide that yes, my earlier judgement was right. The world would be better off without these "people". Dogmeat's very helpful with sniffing out stragglers as I stalk from room to room, executing the residents.

    And having done this great service to the DC area, my Karma drops to 'evil'! Now Three Dog is calling me the boogeyman on his show. So much for playing a good character - I'm loading an earlier save >.<

    Strangely, when I went upstairs and killed Tenpenny I got good karma but when I let in
    All the ghouls I got bad karma.

    Whaaaaat.

    How big are the nukes? Where's the tower!

    Also, forgot to say, I am being purely good. Right now I am "Very Good" and I have the Dignitary title. Earlier a villager from Megaton gave me some ammo to thank me for all I've done. I am a badass.

    They are smaller than the megaton nuke, I think, but there's like eight of them, and they fall down in a circle around the tower.

    Hell, they might not even be nukes, but the codes say "ICBM" on them.

    The tower is a big solo tower in the northwest corner of the map (there are a few other tower clusters but the codes are in the big one)

    The Ranger armor is awesome. Not only does it looks cool, but it also has 39 damage resistance at full repair. Too bad I did the quest so late in the game, but I can't imagine trying to do it at a low level.

    You can buy the schematic for the dart gun from Tenpenny tower. It's a fun thing since it applies a DoT and immediately does damage to the legs to cripple anything I've used it on, but having to got through the reload animation after you fire it gets annoying since it only can fire once before reloading.

    I'm not certain, to tell the truth. In the old fallout games you could. I just assumed you could in this one based on the number of whores I've encountered so far, and I haven't even been playing that long.

    No, I don't actually own this game... I was just commenting after having seen the question so many times in the Fable 2 thread.

    I honestly resolved not to buy this game due to fuck Bethesda and their inability to do 3rd person games, though after skimming through the last thread and reading this one, I admit that my willpower has been fast fading, particularly as I've beaten Fable 2 and am looking at a long couple weeks until Wrath of the Lich King drops.

    EDIT: Also, I'm so sorry for opening the 'banging' can of worms.
    Ok not really

    The problem is that they made subways the only way to get around in D.C. What they should of done is made them shortcuts. For example, you can go above ground and fight your way through dozens of enemies to get to the mall, or you can go through the subway where there's less enemies.

    I hate doing any quests in d.c just because that means trying to find my way through the subways. I just end up getting lost, using up 90% of my ammo and being half-dead, than coming out at some random subway station 1/4 of the map away from where I want to be and have to fast-travel to restock and try all over again ugh

    I dunno, I can't imagine some places or characters living anywhere else. Besides, the dingy, claustophobic underground makes the vast, epic overworld so much more impressive.

    This place is god damn deathclaw central. Even with Psycho it takes 3 head shots from the sniper rifle to down these bastards. Also I haven't seen a single building I can enter, the only place is the sewer and I haven't found any Quantum. Am I missing something or is there really nothing here but death and rubble?
