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

[+Mystic MVC]

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. :)

[Samfau2]

think im on about 23 hours, haven't even explored the northern half of the map so a lot still to do.

Honestly, this is the best game i have played for a while. Well, since oblivion :laugh: and it looks stunning maxed out on ultra high

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

[Matrix XII]

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

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

[neoadorable]

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.

Haven't been able to play in over a week. I really want to finish it but I feel like if I do, I will be leaving so much undone. I know there aren't as many side quests as Oblivion, I just keep expecting there to be more left to do.

[neoadorable]

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.

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.

[Matrix XII]

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.

[Matrix XII]

Excellent, thank you so much for your help!

I'm very close to that right now.

[Matrix XII]

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

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

Yea I have been running around with old Eclave Power Metal, I need to find some new stuff. I also need to finish this game, and a few other games as well.

[Matrix XII]

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

[+longgonebn Subscriber²]

Yea basically everything I have and used is like a quarter full of health, damaged most of it. And you can't repair 100%, stupid.

most of mine are repaired to 100%, you just have to boost your skill.

[Matrix XII]

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.

I found them just wondering around lol.

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