Fallout 3 Reviews

I'm in agreement as well. The game runs extremely well on my PC, I did turn AA down from 4 to 2xx on my 1680x1050 resolution.

I had all intentions to sit down and do some iRacing last night, but I sat down and ended up putting in a couple hours of Fallout. Although I would like to trade in my personal robot butler for DOG from Half-Life...

Anyone teamed up with a human or 'dog meat' yet? I'm only approaching level 7 now - so I was curious when that might happen.

Nice job on your review, Squidly.

One item from your review Squid - you mentioned you wanted a pip-boy. According to the folks in the game store, there's some kind of Ultimate pack, which includes a pip-boy wrist thing that actually functions. I'm guessing it's little more than a glorified watch, but something for you to check out.

Yep - it's in the Survival Edition - but it's only a digital clock.

LOL I could use that for the Squid-cave.

I'm level 14, and in no hurry to do the main quest line (although I did move it along accidentally when I stumbled into the area where my Dad was hiding. To it's credit, the game recognized what had happened and moved the quest along correctly.)

I started on "Normal" difficulty, and around level 6 moved it to Very Hard. It's the correct way to play, I think.

I met up with Dog Meat the other night. I am level 6. Found him in the scrapyard north of the Bethesda Ruins. I went there to investigate a note I found that was to Billy from his brother concerning something he hid there. Not sure where I found the note...I think I have had it a while. It wasn't even a real quest. Anyhow, I went to the scrapyard and 2 guys were guarding the south gate. I took them out and went inside. After wandering a bit, I came across Dog Meat and we teamed up. Haven't seen him in action yet, but it is nice to have the company.

Also, I haven't been following the Dad storyline yet. I was planning to do it when I happened to be in the neighborhood I guess...no real plans for a special trip to the radio station.

Dogmeat is good and bad. He's good because he does keep you company and will engage enemies first effectively tying them up while you get your shots in. He's bad because you start obsessing about keeping him alive. Also, when you are trying to sneak he will run up and engage enemies blowing your cover so you spend a great deal of time telling him to stay where he is and not move.

Is there a BobbleHead location guide anywhere? I have a house now. It has a stand to put my Bobble heads on, but it has waaaaay more slots than I have bobble heads.

Man, I've been playing this game a quite a bit and feel like I'm maybe only half way through. I only now found Rivet city.

Do you need caps for much in this game other than repairs? i've been burning a lot of time running back and forth to town every time I hit my weight limitation. So lately I've been just leaving non-essential goodies where they lay.

And thanks for the cheat, I walked right past where that junkyard is a long time ago when I went to the Minefield, so never found him. I went back, and immediately upon getting him, I typed that in. Should help maintain a high enjoyment level in the game I think.

Did anyone complete that Technology Museum quest? Apparently I goofed it up before I even knew what it was, and now can't complete it. Looks like there's a nice rifle upgrade if you do complete it. I wonder if there's a cheat that lets you reset that.
