[Official] Fallout 3 - DLC for 360/PC released!


Recommended Posts

Ok I understand. I've played the game for around 36hrs but it's funny that there are a couple things I didn't get, but I felt the game had a bit of a learning curve because there isn't really any in game tutorial going on. I went into that game completely uneducated which I like doing because it makes the experience more genuine, but sometimes it takes longer to get it down. I didn't use AP for like 5 or 6 hours into the game, I don't ever recall them telling you about it at all.

I hear you. I felt the same way when I first played Oblivion. A friend of mine wanted to try the game which I thought would be great but it seems that the learning curve left him hit or miss in some areas of the game so far.

I thought it was too short! I did all of the side quests, and it still didn't last half as long as Oblivion. Maybe that is not a fair comparison, but since it is Oblivion with a Fallout 3 skin, comparisons are going to be made.

And the closed ending, where you can't go back and explore, really sucks. I'm one of those people who can't play a game again after I have beat it.

It's was a great game, don't get me wrong. I just wish the game had more to it. At least it proved that people will actually buy pc games instead of stealing them for a change.

How many hours have people logged before finishing it?

I'm about 42hrs into it myself right now, still got a lot of side quests to do. :)

Pretty much the same, maybe few hours more. And I'm half way through main quests, and have some side quests left as well.

Plenty of locations to visit still though :p

Oh cool, pretty much the same as me, I've completed around 15 quests I think, but there's still plenty more to do.

Question for anyone:

How do I get power armor training??

I'm lvl 12 right now.

You need to find the brotherhood of Steel home.

Finished the game at about 30 hours at level 17. Not sure how much longer it'll last, but I think I'll go back and do some more side quests and exploring.

Keep going with the main story quests

managed to get done everything i set out to do in the game, so now i declare it finished for me. overall a great time, a few design issues i'd like a word with Bethesda over, but no biggie ;)

Fawkes is one of the bestest NPC's ever, i love the guy, and he proved very effective. after we finished the last quest i decided to undertake, i escorted him to the museum where apparently he wants to study, took one more look at the Wash Mem, Capitol, Linc Mem etc, saved and that was it. Actually quite touching, but i may just be getting overly sentimental in my older years.

just set goals for yourself - otherwise there's too much to do in this one, and much of it is pretty repetitive or samey. you'll know when you had enough. for me the achievements are great mostly because they structure the game better and help you set those goals, so you can feel you got your fill of the game.

Yea to find the brotherhood of Steel, you need to complete one of the main quests. The one dealing with the radio station.

Hmm, I've already done that quest like 20hrs ago, where is the brotherhood of steel home/base?

the main quest should take you there its after the jefferson memorial quest. the waters of life i think its called.

Oh ok, I've been doing lots of side quests lately, I do have the waters of life, I'll complete that next. Where exactly do I get the training though, or does it just come up in the story?

Just keep going.

Eventually, while you're on some errands in the Jefferson Memorial, the Enclave will arrive. You will then have to lead some scientists to escape, and you'll take a tunnel that leads you directly to the BoS Citadel, where you can get training for Power Armor.

Well I got power armor training finally, I notice you run a bit slower with that kind of armor on, which makes sense. I picked up some Tesla Armor which has energy weapons +10, making my energy weapons skill at 95 now when I use mentats :D

Good thing I have a laboratory at my house, I get addicted to something like every time I play the game haha

One complaint I have with Fallout 3, I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I think your armor and weapons conditions go down way too fast. I take it there's no way to stop that other than not to get damaged? lol

My repair skill is only about 50 right now, I definitely got to upgrade that more next time I level.

I kind of forgot to add more points to repair, I think it's extremely important.

Same here, I think my repair is in the 40's too.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.
