Wasteland Dancin'

This is the fallout 3 thread now. Truly, it has brought out the best and the worst in all of us.

The worst:
The Wasteland Chronicles: A Fallout 3 Fanfiction

First entry – August 17, 2177

I don’t know why I’m writing this, but so much has happened in the past nine hours that I feel I had to put things down in paper just so I can get a grip of it all. They say at certain points in your life, you come across some crossroads that alter your destiny. I think mine just took a total drop off a cliff. This is not a crossroad. Hell, I don’t think the road’s even there anymore. I don’t know. I feel like I had been thrust into a big gaping maw of some hideous monster and I don’t even know why I got there in the first place.


The best:
RobCo Certified - A three-tiered perk allowing the player to repair broken robots for use as henchmen. Each tier allows different types of robots to be repaired.

FourEyes Perk - A perk that awards +2 INT and +10 SCIENCE at the cost of -1 STR and CHA, as well as -4 PER and Myopic Blur effect while not wearing prescription lenses. Excellent in conjunction with RobCo Certified...

SagerFallout3 - A balancing mod that opens up the ability to slow down leveling, decrease player HP, increase damage done by weapons, etc. (Different options can be enabled or disabled in the Data Files portion of the Fallout launcher. I've found the option to slow down leveling useful, it was annoying to hit 20 before even finishing the GNR quest.)

Badass Super Mutants - Another balancing mod that increases the HP of super mutants as well as giving them more powerful weapons. (NB: don't use SagerFallout3 and Badass Super Mutants at the same time unless you want to do an insanely difficult run of the game.)

Cross-Repair Weapons - Allows repair of various weapons to use items other than just copies of the weapon itself, e.g. allows repair of the Chinese Assault Rifle using the Assault Rifle, the 10mm SMG using the 10mm pistol, etc.

Killable Children - Fuck you, Bryan Wilks.

Fellout Weather Overhaul - Makes the sunrises and sunsets much more beautiful (as you would expect given such a dirty atmosphere) and makes the nights really dark. Try fighting some Badass Super Mutants at night with this mod if you're looking for a challenge.

    As this is the fallout thread, i need some help. When do the vendors (if they actually do) get thier stock refilled. I'm running low on assault rifle ammo. I'm still at the start (ish) of the game and spend alot of time in megaton.

    Link added to OP, but the gist is this: "If you click on any brackets facing each other in the same line, such as (), {} or <>, you have a chance of either regaining all failed tries, or removing a dud password. You can also click brackets containing a few special characters, </+> and {,} for example."

    Every few days I think. Better bet is to just go kill someone to get ammo.

    So, I can't fucking wait for all the DLC. Also, how can they not do an expansion similar to shivering isles? I mean, fuck, I hardly pay for video games any more but whatever they put out for fallout 3 I will buy.

    A good time perhaps. There was a lot of atmosphere in there, and tons of creepy stuff.

    See, the whole thing was ruined for me. Becuase I knew the place would be creepy. So when I got there, it was all pretty meh.

    Now, being attacked by a fricking deathclaw and then turning around and facing a giant fucking scorpion, that's scary.

    I didn't even notice the statue or whatever that's supposed to be at the end of the Dunwhich building. Where was it? Not the bobble head, the creepy statue thing.

    It's a large black obelisk thing. The blood flashing onto my HUD and a couple of the doors opening as I was sneaking towards them made me jump.

    robothero: A thousand times, yes.

    I really loved this game. A couple of times a year (in those wishful thinking threads) I always ask for a remake/sequel to Wasteland, which was one of my favorite games growing up. This pretty much filled that void for me.
