Got the gun they GAVE you, you can find atleast 3 more before you leave.
The drug lady has one, the school down the street from the drug lady is full of raiders that have guns.
I can't fucking walk 10 steps without falling face first into a pile of pistols.
I somehow left the vault without a pistol. I didn't kill the drug dealer lady. How in the hell am I supposed to kill guys with guns when my best weapon is a baseball bat?
I dont even know how it's possible to get out of the Vault without a pistol
I didn't know where things were going, so when Amata tried to give me a pistol, I told her she should keep it.
I got a pistol a few hours ago, about 20 minutes after I posted. Lured a raider out of the school, hit him with the bat and took his gun. Now, I have a bunch of guns that are all falling apart.
Why in the name of all things holy would you refuse a weapon in a game, especially considering that, yes, you were unsure of what was going on at the time?
The times when you get confused are the best times to start firing!
I played Fallout 3 maaaaaad when I got it, but I had a glitch that wouldn't let me pass through the place where
yo daddy
dies, so I was like fuck it.
Months later I borrowed the game from a friend (lost my disc) so I could play the DLC.
Turns out his disc let me pass through that unfortunate area, and after I played The Pitt I went back and finished everything.
The DLC really dragged me back into that game full force.
So I looked at a faq for Fallout3. Man, I should have taken repair instead of medicine. Stinking guns corroding or whatever constantly.
mods!
Unless you have a console version, then,
you're fucked!

repair is essential in that game
as is lockpicking
if you have enough lockpicking and sneak skill you can fix your gun and ammunition problem for your first eight or ten levels just by breaking into the Megaton gun storage
When everyone was playing Fallout 3, I found it really intriguing how people on SE were doing playthroughs with little back stories in their heads. I can't think of another game that had people doing that voluntarily.

I can't really enjoy a good F3 playthrough without a firm image of the character and the decisions they'd make in my mind
It makes it harder to succumb to the GOTTA GET KARMA system

My first time through I went to Paradise Falls and accidentally got all the prisoners killed, barely escaping myself.
After I got Fawkes, I came back for revenge. Let me tell you, I never get tired of smashing somebody so hard with the Super Sledge that their body literally explodes into chunks.

I did it with City of Heroes, and all the elder scrolls games, actually, now that I think about it. (Oblivigun lol)

And of course I walked out wearing Eulogy's suit and hat. I would have felt wrong if I didn't.

It's oddly satisfying! It's different in a game like Mass Effect, where it's a bit more linear in that you usually have option a) and b), and it's all along a set path.

I just started the fallout expansions yesterday. I'm enjoying good karma a lot more than evil because it opens up a lot more side quests rather than just "kill me for a key/document"
plus I can still lie to people for good karma, like the quest where you have to return the robot to his owner
also: which is the best expansion? I started with operation anchorage and it is dope

The best expansion is Broken Steel. Some people like Point Lookout as well but I kind of hated it.

that's pretty much required
You guys are making me want to boot F3 up and beat it for the tenth or eleventh time
do a The Great Satan run
where you kill everyone and steal everything
especially ghouls
I did that already
I'm tempted to try another manifestation of either a super good guy or, since that's boring, starting out a selfish vault dwelling weirdo and do good deeds slowly
my most memorable run was as a brain washed American good old boy who would listen to President Eden ALL THE TIME and would hunt down brotherhood guys, it was so fun

yeah, it's one of the reasons that I liked those games so much. It actually let you sandbox, because you could take different paths each step of the way. You didn't just choose evil/good/neutral at big defining moments, you were always making those choices.

Do a Wasteland Hippie run where you make a beeline for Oasis, join the tree people, and then spread the word to the slavering masses with your mole rat murder branch.

Man, I need to get a goddamned house so I can get my desktop up and running. I want to replay - i bought all the expansions for it and have so far only played through Operation: Anchorage (which got me the awesome armor that doesn't degrade). Meh.

How could you hate point lookout?
It had everything
It was ugly and the difficulty scaling was way off. I don't care how inbred these stupid fucking hillbillies are, they shouldn't be as hard to kill as an ultimate mutant bastard.

I think that I would really enjoy trading off most of my health if the bad guys did, too. Is there a realism mod, where one headshot is bad news bears?

I think one of the reasons I liked F3 so much was the setting. F3 was my first game in the fallout series, but I had heard about it a few years back, and I always wondered why they didn't start off in washington. seeing ground zero of the bombing of america seemed pretty mandatory to me.
that being said, new vegas looks to be really fun just because it wasn't really effected by the bombings, but at the same time it was.

my completionist urges just serve to make the game really intimidating

I found every place on the map before I got half way done with that game.
Just running around, shooting the shit out of everything with rail road spikes.
A man and his dog.
And his super mutant.
Also that whole game I was pretty much all about the Chinese assault rifle until I got the Terrible Shotgun
But I didn't find it compelling at all when I attempted a second playthrough
What I am saying here is I can't wait for New Vegas
