    In fallout 3 can you be like Vash Stampede and accidently cause destruction wherever you go?

    Not by accident. I mean I guess you could get in a gun fight and blow up a bunch of nuclear-powered cars by accident, but they're usually outside of population centers.

    Can you shoot to not kill, just incapicitate? Or get the guys to kill themselves in hilarious ways?

    Well you can cripple them by shooting their limbs but it's not always a sure thing and you might end up killing them in the process. There's nothing you can do to get them to kill themselves. Well...one time a Raider somehow fell into the river. She would have died of radiation sickness in a few hours if I had left her there.

    Nuclear-powered cars? That sounds pretty cool.

    Also, is it just me, or do I remember seeing a game-play video where the main character was riding a horse or some other four-legged creature?

    Yeah the cars are nuclear powered and they will go up in a huge cloud, probably two stories high, if you shoot at one long enough. The explosion will force debris at you and you can get hurt even if you're not in the range of the blast.

    I don't remember there being any mounts.

    I don't know yet. Your karma will determine how certain groups will look at you, but I don't know how it affects the end-game. I haven't gotten that far.

    Remind them that there are more than two options. :P

    I think she wants it to be a real vote.

    Remind her that there is a high chance McCain will die soon, which could leave Palin as president, which would be a gigantic step backwards for woman's rights, if she votes McCain.

    edit: I mean, yay, a woman as president. But her ideas are fucking nuts.

    If not for this, she would not even consider voting for McCain.

    As in, she wants Palin to be President. I think she may be a self-hating misogynist.

    To be honest I'm not sure if it's worth the ammunition. For all the ammunition you use you could headshot a few enemy targets instead. I've never tried it myself before. Usually the enemy will be the one who is setting cars off. It makes combat pretty nerve-wracking when there are tiny nuclear explosions going off all around you because someone can't aim.

    The city is full of them. They're just burnt-out hulks, but all of them are nuclear-powered. Basically vehicles that were abandoned where they sat when the nukes came down. They're less common in the Wastes.

    Seriously, people underestimate palin's crazy. If you want to talk about crazy churches, how about when she had witches cast out of her? Also, I believe there's film of her nodding in agreement while the pastor was talking about the 'end times being around the corner'

    do you really want a potential president that believes that jesus is going to fly down among the fire and brimstone and deliver the good to heaven? This would be our commander and chief should mccain kick the bucket.

    Voting for a third party is throwing away your vote.

    If you actually wanted a third party person to win you ought to have been campaigning and promoting the crap out of them far earlier in the election cycle, not that that would have made a difference...but at this stage it's definitely a worthless gesture.
