I find it impossible to believe that someone is unhappy with the gore in the game.
It's fucking hilarious to lob a grenade into a room, listen to it go off, and watching someone's leg fly past you and splatter into the wall. Not to mention standing next to a car when it blows up, and watching your lifeless corpse spiral through the air, with every limb missing.
First time I clubbed someone so hard their head exploded it took me a full 5 minutes to stop laughing.

Yeah, when you first do something it's fun and interesting.
Get to level 20. Kill hundreds upon hundreds of guys. Watch as 300+ times your bullet tears a guy's head off or make it explode completely unrealistically in the same way over and over.
You know what you'll feel instead of the excitement you described feeling in those unique experiences?
You'll feel bored.
It's like sex. Sex is fun. Now imagine you have to have the same sex every time. Yawn.
Hey guys, so I bagged me an Xbox 360 elite today, along with Fallout 3.
And I was surprised by
Getting the fatman that early in the game, I'm at the GNR building ATM. Have I rushed into the main quest too much?
Also, this game is made of the stuff of gods, kings, and deus ex.
There is no "too fast". You honestly don't have to do any of the side things if you don't want to. One of the many beautiful things about this game. I just put the story off til I was getting tired of wandering the wastelands. I'm about 40hrs into it, and only like 5 or 6 chapters into the main story...

I still haven't reached GNR but I can't tear myself away from doing the side-quest!
So Rivet city is the place to trade for caps? Need to get there soon, I have thousands of caps worth of items sitting in my house and I barely have 1000 caps on hand.

If a mod comes out that lowers the rate of people's heads exploding like confetti or falling off like you shot saw blades at them - please put it in the OP.
What good would that be? The entire reason I run around with the combat shotgun and use VATS is for head explodey action.
Do people still explode when you land crits while unarmed? My next playthrough I want to try unarmed and go bloody mess.
Shotgun makes a little bit of sense. Heads exploding from a .32 or 10mm?
No.
Heads FALLING OFF for any reason?
No.
You don't realize how critical the ridiculously over the top deaths are to the core of fallout, do you?
There was much bloody death in FO2, but not every head shot led directly to dismemberment or an exploding headshot. I've grown a bit desensitized to the gore in 3.

I'm on my second play through, again with bloody mess, Probably seen people get blown to tiny bits ten thousand times.
First time I clubbed someone so hard their head exploded it took me a full 5 minutes to stop laughing.
You, sir, frighten me.
I'd just never seen a game do that before, and it was a huge surprise. The idea of beaning someone with a lead pipe and getting gibs out of it is so absurd, how could one not laugh?

That or knocking an arm off with a sledgehammer.
I can see how the gore could wear out its welcome...but it hasn't for me yet.

going in vats and having the camera pan following my bullet as it weaves its way through a whole bunch of shit a la wanted and then see the guys face a split second before his jaw and eye balls go flying along with the rest of his giblets is...is....well, it's just orgasmic.

The same thing happened to me. I was in a sewer and there were all these feral ghouls, and I don't like how fast they run. So I set up some mines, and then started shooting my hunting rifle into them. They all blew up except one who rushed me. So I kind of panicked and hit tab and selected my spiked knuckles and punched him once, and he just exploded. His whole body just went up like he swallowed dynamite. If I didn't know any better I could have sword there was a surprised expression on his face too.
I have the bloody mess trait, so that explains that, but the best is when I use a hunting rifle and get a critical headshot and the guy's arms and legs explode. It makes no sense, and i love it.
get into the Jefferson Monument? I have the tapes from Liam Neeson and I've talked to the doctor in Rivet City, yet the subquest boxes aren't ticking off.

it has yet to get old.
Clearly, this is an example of mileage engaging in something known as variance.
Depending on the fight, it's ok. It's annoying when you have to watch a slowmo body breakup off chained headshots against a group of people as their friends charge towards you...
however, the conclusion I've come to with the "OH GOD NO MORE SLO-MO" thing is that VATS attacks going off are real-time... such that the time it took to make those shots and animate, the guys would have been on top of you or fired on you already. Especially since you can VATS-kill someone and still get shot by them as your bullet flies, or get hit... or at least that's what I think.
not exactly losing sleep over it than I am contemplating why they even try sometimes.

Guys, if you're low on ammo, or grenades, or stimpacks, there's a hilariously easy way to get more, a ton more.
Ok, Northeast of Minfield, and north of a toxic waste dump, I forget what it's called, there's a crashed alien ship. You should know it's close when you get a radio signal called Recon Craft Theta. At the front of the ship there's a cockpit, and next to it there's a dead alien. Next to the dead alien is an alien laser pistol and about 12 packs of alien power cells. Pick those up and go to to Fort Independence, which is next to Fairfax ruins. Inside of Fort Independence there's a outcast BoS member called Protector Casadin. If this is your first time speaking to him he'll talk to you about how he wants technology. Turn the alien stuff in to him, the alien blaster itself is worth 486 5.56 rounds, the power cells are worth 256 5.56s I think, or if you want to, 11 grenades or 11 stimpacks.
I notice during up close head-splosions that the eye gibs actually come out of the sockets on the head. It's like that ghoul is saying
"OH MY, MY HEAD APPEARS TO BE EXPLODING AND I AM QUITE UPSET BY THIS!"
nice little attention to detail instead of having the head just explode from a central point.

you can resolve that quest peacefully and with no bad karma (which you get for letting ghouls in) By talking to tenpenny after talking to the ghouls and then talking to the residents.
For those of you that have finished the main quest, I think:
it should be in the OP or something that you can't keep playing once it's over like you could in morrowind and oblivion. I rushed through the main quest for that reason, thinking I could keep playing, which kind of sucks once it's over (though it does give me an excuse to reroll with a new build)

oh, awesome. I had heard about other people doing it and it sounded like the only option was everyone ending up dead.
You're supposed to be able to get through by taking this elevator to the bottom, but after scouring the place, I can't find any key or passwords...
So I took to the long path, figuring that with my trust sidekick I'd just mow down some mutants and call it a day... But I was fucking wrong as hell. This place is nearly impossible and I have no clue how I'm going to get out alive.

Yes please! I mean, that could be all this game was about, and I would still love it.
By the way, have you tried shooting the legs or arms? Nothing is better than seeing a leg rip off in slow-mo, blood shooting everywhere, as the bad guy falls in a bloody heap. Or bloddy mess, if you will.
I want someone to do the following:
1. Find a Yao Guai
2. Use the developer console to turn said Yao Guai friendly
3. Have Yao Guai follow the user around
4. Do funny shit with this bit of genius

well you're fat, kita. how sneaky can a fat person be? santa doesn't count.
so, will there ever be a time where I can slowly sneak in front of someone if I'm doing it the correct way?
No, this isn't Oblivion.
You actually have to sneak, which is only OK, cause damn, it's hard to see how some people are facing. Some sorta UI warning "Hey, this jackarse can almost see you" would rock.
Just bring up VATS and you'll get a zoomed-in image, and you can see which way they're facing.

Truly, a man who gets tired of seeing helpless, screaming civilians slam into walls and crumple in broken and bloody heaps of pulsating flesh has no soul.
Speaking of which, does anyone else love using the Mesmertron in combat? It's awesome watching a bunch of people in 50s clothing blast each other into bloody chunks all over a hotel lobby or a town square after firing that baby off a few times.
Oh so much fun, the Mesmertron. Doesn't exactly work as advertised most of the time, but I take what I can get.

Is every location worth exploring?
I found a run down house with some guy and a couple of chicks. Seems kinda pointless.
Found a few museums, but don't remember which ones specifically. Maybe the Jefferson Museum?
But that leads me to a Fort Constantine question...

I tend to go with explosive weapons, or setting frag mines.
Lincoln's repeater works well too, as it does on EVERYTHING.
It's my favorite weapon. The thing devours the souls of everything I come across.
They probably should've named named it the John Wilkes Booth repeater.
Did I use the word emancipate right?
