Fallout 3

[angrymissy]

Well wait a day...I have DL it today. It keeps locking up on me at one spot. I am fucking pissed right now. Have tried it like three times. Wait the day or so. I should have of known better.

WHY THE FUCK DO THEY RELEASE THESE ADDITIONS KNOWING THEY HAVE BUGS!?!?!?!?!?!?

That's what happened to me w/ the Pitt. Would freeze my entire 360 when I tried to advance to the Steelmill. It's fucking BS that they'd release a glitched product twice. Don't they test this shit?

Exactly...you figured they would test it. I love the game too, but this is too much. When I DL'd it, all of a sudden the VATS was sluggish as was jumping from places on the map.

Heads up to everyone. Wait at least one more day before DL it

[Chimee]

It's one of the good things that came from me fucking up my saved game. Now I'm going to wait till all content is out and working before I start the game again.

[Doogie]

Ok...since I loaded the download I know what the problem was. This DL is a huge one and it takes time to actually get acquainted to your game, especially a saved one. So when you DL it, start a saved game. Wander around for a bit, but try not to enter too many places. You will soon see a message "Broken Steel has been added. Levels now go up to level 30." Once that happens then you are good to go. Played for a while and had no problems since I wrote earlier.

For Xbox or PC?

[STC-Dub]

Downloaded, thanks for the hint about not entering buildings.

Everything this company releases is a non-functioning piece of shit. I don't know why people keep buying shit from Bethesda. I bought Fallout 3 and however good it was when I finally got it working wasn't worth the 3 weeks of working on my computer to try and get it working. It wasn't much better on the consoles.

I keep buying the stuff because its pretty good and solidly entertaining once it works, I consider myself fairly lucky I never had any problems with the original FO3 and only minor stuff with the first 2 DLC's. Broken Steel is a whole other story though.

For Xbox or PC?

XBox 360...I am enjoying the add-on now. Although the Super Mutant Overlords are a bitch to kill. They also now have a new perk where if Dogmeat dies he spawns a new pup and he will follow you around.

[STC-Dub]

I made it through the whole game without running across Dogmeat.

[Doogie]

I made it through the whole game without running across Dogmeat.

You find him in the scrapyard, around the backside of it. When you arrive early enough you find him fighting two very weak raiders and he kills them. You then go up and talk to him, and he joins ya. You can even find him much later in the game and is pretty helpful in letting you know baddies are nearby.

Also need to watch out for the Albino Radscorpions, they are a bitch to kill as well.

[STC-Dub]

Thanks, I found out where he was after I finished. I guess I could get my closest saved game to the end of the game and finish again.

He is really helpful if you want to find the Firelance

[Chimee]

I just stumbled across the Feral Ghoul Reaver and it killed me in about 3 hits and my full strength Terrible Shotgun did barely any damage to it. And it was just as I was feeling good about myself wandering around killing regular Ghouls with one hit.

[Mikemantis]

Man Fallout 3 is awesome. Never played the other ones but this is a great installment for Bethesda. It is not the best FPS (First Person Shooter) per say but the story and gameplay is amazing. It is a giant world and you can do anything, and be any kind of person you choose. the V.A.T.S. technique is a nice touch to compensate for the okay Controls of the FPS. This game will have you playing for hours and the replay value is very high. Cause it is always different when you replay parts. If you have the money and enjoy rps's i say go for it

[Mullenax]

You can. It's worth it. Dogmeat's the best.
I put off finding him until I thought I was leveled up enough to keep from him from getting killed, but the next time I play through I'll get him earlier.

Aim for the head. 3 shots.

Sure the have had problems... but there are few companies (and even fewer games) that do it better... I have Fallout 3 and all the DLC... I've never had a problem with any of it... to be fair I waited a week for them to correct glitches that couldn't or wouldn't be revealed in in-house testing.

So is it the extra week of waiting that you are angry about? 'Cause you come across as really angry...

[angrymissy]

A new DLC came out yesterday, Point Lookout. I had no idea there were more DLC's coming, I thought Broken Steel was the final, but there is apparently one more after PL as well (an alien invasion one!).

I played through the entire questline last night and it was really fun. My favorite DLC so far.

Didn't run into issues with this DLC being glitched or anything, thank god. I did have a load screen freeze once, and a few instances of lag, but that was it.

[STC-Dub]

Yeah, there was not much hype. I just heard about it last week and saw it was available yesterday. As soon as I get paid I will get it.

[CountryBob]

Is any of the DLC's available for the PS3?
Or have I picked the wrong system to play a game on again?

They are going to release a few DLC packs this summer...I think either Anchorage or Pitt are rumored to be due on PSN this month.

[Chimee]

I've downloaded Point Lookout and I'm going to dedicate my weekend to play through it.

[JustJon]

The Point Lookout card on the 360 says "available on the 360 first"

[booster11373]

Done most of Point Lookout, I would say this the best of the F3 DLC'S

[BinaryTaoist]

soooooo.... apparently we are going to get ANOTHER Fallout 3 DLC called 'Mothership Zeta' due out in July.

Neat!

[Doogie]

Those hillbilly fucks that look like Sloth from "Goonies" are tough to kill...I find the alien blaster to be a nice weapon against them.

[STC-Dub]

Dammit, where is my pay check. I really want to get this but do not have the money right now.

[Chigworthy]

So the wife is out of town and I decided to start playing again. I stopped right before beating the original storyline; I'm supposed to meet Dad at project purity. I am at level 20.

1. Should I get a DLC now so that I can gain exp?
2. Are the DLC's standalone or sequential?
3. Which one is the best?

Hmmm, I would say go with Operation Anchorage, Broken Steel, and Point Lookout.

The Pitt is so-so, but it is not an essential part to the experience. I say OA because you get the Gauze Rifle which fucking owns. Broken Steel cause it allows you to go to Level 30 (So DL this one first.) and then Point Lookout which is a WHOLE new area to explore and is a must download.

I would say the Pitt is optional and if you really feel like adding it on, you only get a few radiation upgrades. But asides from that it is nothing special. I personally like AG-23's Plasma Rifle...which is better than any weapon you will get from the pitt.

[Chigworthy]

Anchorage it is. I always wanted to go to Alaska anyway.

[ecobag2]

just played fallout 2 for real in Reno last night ... it was almost perfect - I was all a traveller and shit - there was bums and ennui.

With N. Korea heating up - ... well let's hope not but let me know if anyone wants to get down in the burned out gangster run town soon.

[Chigworthy]

How do I get to Anchorage? I try and be the good guy and don't poison the well, and the game just ends after you activate Project Purity. What am I missing? The Anchorage DLC is shown on my in-game Downloads section, but selecting it does nothing. I like Ron Perlman, but I don't want to listen to that ending monologue again. What do I do?

[STC-Dub]

Don't do project purity. Leave the monument, you will pick up a radio signal -- if I remember right -- that will lead you to the place where you enter the Anchorage scenario.

You have to download Broken Steel, it's the only way continue after the ending of the game. After that, all the other downloads appear within the game (Anchorage being a mission to find a distress signal).

Or don't finish the story... I forget, some people save before doing things.

[Chigworthy]

Thanks, I got it now. I am officially re-addicted to Fallout3.

[angrymissy]

That Mothership Zeta DLC really ate a dick. Not worth the 800 points.

agreed really stunk

[Chimee]

I guess I'll just wait and get Shadow Complex instead.

[booster11373]

I guess I'll just wait and get Shadow Complex instead.

what is that? Mothership Zeta is supposed to be the last DLC for Fallout 3

[Chigworthy]

Is Zeta really small or what? What makes it eat said dick?

[Chimee]

what is that? Mothership Zeta is supposed to be the last DLC for Fallout 3

It's an Xbox Live Arcade game that has nothing to do with Fallout. Kinda like the sidescrolling Castlevania and Metroid games.

[booster11373]

Completely linear story and limited exploration, sucky items

[STC-Dub]

Crap, I was looking forward to Zeta.

[JustJon]

Of the DLCs I played, The Pitt was my favorite. That spinning axe thing is the most bad ass weapon.

[CountryBob]

When the fuck are they gonna release any DLC's for the PS3? I am considering buying the XBOX version and replaying the game to get the DLC's. I am tired of waiting!

[JustJon]

This month or next month. They'll be selling a disc with all five DLCs on it. Game of the Year edition will also come out with the full game and all DLCs for both systems.

[CountryBob]

That's good news - interesting that it will be disc based instead on downloadable.

Mothership Zeta is the worst piece of shit I've ever installed on my computer.

I WANT OFF THIS SHIP! GIVE ME MY GAME BACK!

[booster11373]

I WANT OFF THIS SHIP! GIVE ME MY GAME BACK!

I was the weakest of the DLC's I dont do it when I go back and replay FO3 although you should do it at least once, that repair gel is kind of worth it

New Vegas comes out in a couple of weeks cant wait for that!!!!!!!

[StanUpshaw]

It took me like 5 hours to finish the fucking thing. I swear it was like I downloaded a virus that turns whatever game you're playing into the worst FPS ever made.

[StanUpshaw]

Are there any other places like Gold Ribbon Grocers that I can look forward to finding?

Are you playing FO3 on Xbox or PC?

If PC join this site http://www.fallout3nexus.com/ and download the DC Interiors project. It opens up dozens and dozens of locations that appear boarded up in the regular game the mods adds hours of exploration time

[Goatweed]

I was going to buy this game for the PS3 but I read that it's very buggy, and that it's buggy for the PC as well. Have there been patches and/or updates (console) that addressed this? I saw the trailer for New Vegas and it looks nice, but I'd like to play this as a primer.
