So, yesterday I was wandering the wasteland when I came to a burnt out house with a scavenger and his dog living in it. I looked around for anything worthwhile to steal when the scavenger jumped up and started to attack an incoming mole rat.
His dog joined in and went in head first to chomp on the mole rat. This twat has a SMG and proceeded to not only shoot the mole rat but his dog as well
It was like a fallout flashback. I stood there in shock for a moment as the scavenger just walked back to his house, sat down and lit a cigarette.
OH NO YOU DIDN'T.
No one kills their own dog on my watch motherfucker. So I hide and critical sneak attack his head with my sledgehammer.
erm, this thread fills up rather fast, but in response to someone answering to my silenced 10mm post:
rivetcity is further away than grayditch, there are also a lot of mutants and raiders on the way. I think owning ants is easier than the former two ;p

So yeah, I hit this part of the main storyline:
going into the virtual world to get your Dad.
I have to say that section left me pissed off. Up until then, I'd been enjoying being able to handle situation in multiple ways that could be figured out with common sense and/or creativity. Then I run into this piece of shit portion of the game where they basically force you into actions that you simply do not want to do. Do the first part of it wrong and you have to do a series of actions completely opposite of what your character would actually do.
Make the kid cry? Um, how about no? Too bad, the devs decided you have to make the kid cry instead of being able to do something common sense like attack the guy controlling things or figure another way out of the system.
Total bullshit and a big waste of time. I was enjoying the game up until that point; that one section made me seriously consider getting rid of the game entirely. Why the hell do devs do all this work and then make horrible sections like that? Would coding a route that bypassed the controlling guy entirely really have been that hard?
Probably wouldn't bother me so much if it was part of a sidequest, but making it part of the main storyline indicates some serious mental deficiency at Bethesda.

I loved this bit, when I realised what was about to happen I was like "No.... you DIDN'T!? FOR ME? OH GOD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH".
Also, you obviously fail at trying to find alternative solutions to your problems, as there is one that I found in any case. It's not the game's fault you aren't any good at it.

You didn't look hard enough.
to add a bit more to that, there is a way to completely bypass the entire thing and just exit without doing anything braun wants you to do, reload yourself a save and check out the empty house and talk to the people some more

Damn it, lost several save slots due to my mister Handy getting lodged in the door to my bedroom in megaton. I couldn't access the filing cabinet next to my desk or the bed.. That filing cabinet was where I stashed quest items.........

tried attacking him? he might get unstuck when he comes to kill you, than just leave the house and wait a bit and he'll be non-hostile again

What does that do? Also I just bought the Vault Theme and I thought each theme came with on skill book. I don't see ANY new skill books in my home. One more thing, I just walked into Megaton before going to my home and some chick walked up to me and said, "Thank you for all you've done for us, I wish to repay you. Here, it's not much, but it's all we can give." I don't know what the fuck she gave me. What is it?

he shouldn't be hurt at allm or will heal,
and the chick will give you things ocassionally, a bit of ammo, some bottle caps, some food, not much. but than again those people don't have much to spare

Its a random minor item like stimpak or 10 bullets. Every so often, if you're good, people in Megaton will come up and give you some small gift.
If you're evil, people in Paradise Falls do the same thing.
Speaking of which, what a bloody odd mini quest that was.
Raider: Hey you! I'm only going to ask this once. Give me the naughty nightwear!
Me: [Speech] Nah, this is mine.
Raider: Huh? Oh, ok. My mistake.
Yeah and I've never seen Lug-Nut again. I even followed him to try and figure out where he came from but he disappeared into a door and I lost him.
You mean he doesn't attack? I took his head off before he could do anything.
Nope. I just said, No, and then he wondered around hte subway tunnels telling me to go away.
As soon as I beat it on my good play through, I restarted on my evil playthrough. HOLY CRAP is it easier when you don't care about Karma. I am rolling in caps. I totally looted hte piss out of Megaton before......well, you know! But I now have a fancy sheriff hat and duster!
And I am going Lasers this time, and lo and behold on my way to Tenpenny i found a group of Brotherhood outcasts that collect such things. They were WAY out of my league, but with some well placed mines and lock picking I looted hte hell out of their base too. Tee hee!
I've not seen any mention yet of the fact that the armored vaultsuit is exactly what the Vaultdweller in F1 was shown as wearing in the exile FMV where he's walking through the desert.
I realized this before, but the aforementioned quote is what reminded me to post it.

Depending on your AP, you can que up alot of shots.
On my last game, with the actionboy perk I could do 6 or 7 laserrifle shots before i ran out of AP in vats.
Yeah but how? I go into VATSm, hold RT and then select a body part and click A. Then I make the one shot and then I have to re-enter.
I'm rather embarresed that I do not know how to do this and it's one of the fundamental game mechanics.
edit:
RE guy complaining about the quite brilliant Tranquility Lane:
If you attack the evil bitch girl/man he blows you up because he's basically lord and master of the place. Admin privelages and all that. However if you explored even a little bit you'd have met a women who is aware of what's going on and she tells you there is a failsafe system in the abandones house. In the first room in this house there are five objects you can activate (gnome, radio, pitcher, concrete block and cola bottle) each of which plays a note. You then play the tune that plays in the area (doctor and birds whistle it). I didn't know this but whenever I chose one of the objects in the wrong order it made a 'WRONG ANSWER' buzzing sound. Trial and error got me out.
I personally loved the section because the moment I ended up in that hell I went straight to my Pip-Boy to check what the hell was going on and there was this watch. I felt all kinds of vunerable.

well i thought it was pretty obvious an homage to the end fmv of fo1, right back when we got the glance of it in the trailers and such.
Oh and I will say I felt attached to my in-game mom and dad. Its why the end shot was touching to me. STill doesn't mean I don't think he was an idiot for what he did.
I think its the opening 19 years or so that does it.
Can I just say that it would be nice if you'd spoiler stuff like this? It may not be explicit in terms of what you're saying but just because it's out of context doesn't mean I don't know what you're talking about.

After you press A, instead of then clicking RT to fire, choose another body part and click a again. You'll see the list queue up on the lower right above your AP bar. Then when you click RT, the whole list will fire off.

so how is this place still in existence when upon reaching a certain age they're kicked out of town? ie. no pro-creating. The only thing that I can think of is orphans somehow hear of this place and make a trek for it. Or the "out casted" have children and then in turn send them there?

christ I sound like a NMA'er
No, You don't sound like an NMA'er, You didnt compare Bethesda to Hitler, or cry about bottlecaps being currency/the game not being isometric.

how so you ask?
The sex mods are out, Saw a retextured sexy sleepware on the mod site just now.
I am disturbed that they are finally here, but shocked that it took as long as it did.
And so it begins
Or the pre-war pink dress?
They modded it with nipples
Me: [Speech] Nah, this is mine.
Raider: Huh? Oh, ok. My mistake.
Yeah and I've never seen Lug-Nut again. I even followed him to try and figure out where he came from but he disappeared into a door and I lost him.
long as it did? that mod as been out for ages. like 4 days after release.
edit: just checked and its new one, there was an older one released ages ago with fully exposed.. yeah.
Nope. I just said, No, and then he wondered around hte subway tunnels telling me to go away.
