    Finally beat the game... and yeah, the ending does suck. Like, "I'm not interested in seeing other endings or beating it ever again" sucks. The sequence leading up to it is pretty good though. No Mass Effect but pretty good.

    Great, now I want to play Mass Effect again.

    And yes, it does seem silly that
    I couldn't just send Fawkes in, who's immune.

    Anybody know the website that teaches me how to fool around with Console settings? I have a hankering to summon deathclaws in the middle of Megaton.

    should be a thread title soon

    or maybe not, since it is the ending

    Maybe not, but I don't think it's a good thread title either way. It lacks punch, zest, verve, and getting catchy songs stuck in the reader's head.

    I just crashed again, on the 360, entering DC and walking down the east side of the river... anyone else have crashes on the 360? I think this crash brings it up to like 6 total so far.

    You are wise, but the siren song of Fallout beckons. Imagine wandering through a burned-out wasteland, when lo! a monstrous monster appears from over the horizon. It's gigantic, eight feet tall, and moves like a cheetah on speed. What do you do?

    You pull out your shoulder-mounted nuclear catapault and shoot him in the face with a nuke.

    I think that speaks for itself.

    Correction
    If you go energy weapons and tear up Fort Independence, you can nab a plasma riffle pretty early in the game. I think it's behind and average locked door though.

    There are a couple laser pistols and I don't think there's anything stopping you from getting the unique plasma rifle basically immediately. You should be able to get a unique laser rifle early too, if you take the right perk.

    I got into the first hour or so of this earlier tonight.

    Out of curiosity, what is the most fun route to go? I was going to be evil as fuck-all, but I'm the kind of guy that can't bring myself to be all mean, even to a computer, so I eventually started being all nice to everybody. However, when I was given the option from that Mob dude in Megaton to:
    blow up the undetonated nuke and kill everyone, I can say that I kind want to do it. Because nuclear explosions are extra super cool.

    Also I don't have enough demolition skill to shut the thing down...

    I got a pretty bizarre bug. I was fighting some raiders, switched to VATS, and the game started going real slow. I am now stuck in VATS, unable to cancel out of it or queue up any attacks.

    Turn down AA or AF. It's a known bug.

    You should be able to pop some Mentats to boost your skill high enough to disarm it, if you decide to go that route. Either that or go and gain a level and put enough points in Explosives so it's at 25, that's all you need.

    Not to mention
    It's good to have at least 25 in explosives so you can disarm mines and other assorted traps.

    Really? They suck because they require more ammo than I'd like to use, but if you just shoot them in the face and backpeddle for a bit they aren't much trouble.

    Mirelurks tend to be in claustrophobic locations, though.

    That's the trouble, really. If you only fought them out in the open they would be easy: aim for the face and kill 'em in 2 hits. But in those little corridors it's hard to snipe them because they're usually facing away when you sneak up on them, and when they're right in your face VATS doesn't work so well.

    VATS in general doesn't seem to work so well on Mirelurks.

    Yeah it does, you just have to hit it when you can actually see their face.

    There's few things manlier than clubbing a giant radiated bear monster to death with a sledge.

    Maybe beat them to death with your bare hands, but alas, I am not an unarmed character.
