    So, I just read in an article that the companions have a tendency to pick stuff up, which sometimes leads to them not being able to back up offers to lighten your load. Fortunately they appear to also do this with ammo.

    Check your companions regularly, for they are practicing kleptomancers, just like you, but they don't like to talk about it.

    I really hope that a mod comes to console that lets me scrap anywhere, and puts everything into a universal scrap inventory.

    Only then can Operation Have A Nice Tidy Up truly begin.

    I dunno, I've always thought that the armored vault suit look was cool, but it's just so BLUE, that it might be time for a change, yeah.

    Fallout Nexus has some colour replacements for the vault suits (and pipboy).

    No idea if they're any good outside of screenshots, though.

    Oh I've tried that and every other outlandish thing, the radio operator isn't assignable like a regular settler and no one else can be assigned to it. He blathers the "we need to power up the transmitter" dialogue so I guess his scripting got knocked around when his little sit down animation was interrupted by being attacked

    Once I thought I had a brilliant idea in killing him so he'd get replaced but naturally he's an unkillable NPC and I'd screwed around so much before trying that I'd accrued a bunch of settlers who immediately gunned me down for assaulting the wastelands most useless dick

    Have you set it up properly ? I was stuck on that until I realised you have to connect it all together with wire, as I hadn't done and electrical stuff in my settlements.

    I'm playing Fallout 3 right now, folks and let me tell you what, this Three Dog sure is a character!

    You can actually kill him, apparently, and someone else takes over.

    I never did it, as I turned the radio off after a while, so he never got that annoying for me.

    After some missions, he calls you an asshole no matter how you manage to resolve them.

    Glowing sea
    for some deep, visceral reason going off the edge of the map and continuing into the glowing sea to find Virgil was terrifying to me. like, I don't know how to describe it. Here's this map. You've been playing video games your entire life. You will hit an invisible wall and the game will tell you to turn around. Except, no. you crest a hill and there's the children of the atom and you talk to them and they say keep going further south and oh my god I've already fought a deathclaw and four radscorpions and nine ghouls all at once and I'm completely out of regular bullets for every gun I own and am down to my last twelve emergency missiles and some frag mines and I have to keep going? Past the edge of the world? fuck that, fuck this game, fuck your spooky radiation storms, fuck this whole slow, ponderous journey I've been walking in my power armor through, fuck my son, fuck these robots, fuck everything I'm going to go live in a baseball field and gay marry Lois lane, peace out bitches

    I feel like I did the right thing when I just booked it as fast I could through there, wearing my power armour, gulping down rad-x and hoping all the Monster Sempais never notice me.

    I should probably fast travel back to see the children of the atom, just to explore the camp a little, because I did not linger on the first trip.

    I've only just begun and already I can see myself spending far too much time playing this.
    Also what the crap Bethesda I spent a good 30 minutes crafting myself a nice pretty wife and then you go and fucking kill her in the opening???

    Ahahahaha the Boston Bugle building
    One of the articles in a terminal describes how Boston is poised to win it's first World Series in over 150 years, and that it could only be stopped by an act of God or some terrible calamity of man.

    It was written the day before the bombs fell.

    That's a good point! Speculation:
    Maybe the Institute can replicate your spouse later on using the model you craft in the beginning?

    I tried to make my character look like Mel Gibson era Max, because not only do I get my Mad Max homage, but I can also have him scream GIVE ME BACK MY SON and have my Ransom homage.

    Maybe it's just me but the dog seems incredibly ineffective compared to Piper

    He was constantly getting hurt because he was literally running straight into the middle of big groups of enemies, but Piper takes cover and takes potshots from a distance

    Plus she's in general radder as a companion

    There is nothing cooler than Piper and I crouching through an abandoned building, just taking fools out

    She's already my favorite Bethesda companion, not that there were a ton of awesome ones

    As far as I'm concerned, it basically goes

    Fawkes was great

    I don't remember anything about Boone as a character but he was death incarnate in gameplay

    and Lydia existed

    Tracking down Kellogg was really cool, as was the thing after you leave at the end.

    It feels like they've really focused on improving the main story this time round, and the voiced character helps with that

    Apparently the same guy voices Codsworth and Nick Valentine

    So that guy's got some range

    He was also Garrett in the Thief games

    Curie is great, because after blowing up a whole bunch of raiders, she says, "I believe we are supposed to file a police report now. And we must gather all these pieces as evidence."

    But really, all these companions are so much better then anything Bethesda has done before.

    I wish he'd done a different voice for Nick then, because it's the same one half the characters in Skyrim have and it's real distracting

    on the one hand, yeah?

    but on the other hand, that sort of voice works really well for a hardboiled robot noir detective
