framheim Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 i'm finding it quite hard to get into this. the combat is very hard to get to grips with and i just seem to be wasting a shitload of ammo. anyone got any tips? i don't think i died this much in oblivion.

Ian_Brown Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 I downloaded this a while ago but keep putting off playing it. I'm far too addicted to fifa, I play it hours a day online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Just wondering if anyone has been able to get into Vault 87.I get near it and the rads jump to 676 per second and I'm toast.I have tried Radiation suits and Advanced Radiation suits but I still end up fried.Also I can't find a couple of missions. The only 1 I remember at the moment is "You have to shoot them in the head!" Anyone know where it starts and who I should talk to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Stu Posted December 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 I feel like I've gotten a bit bored and directionless with my playing now. I suppose that's the drawback of open-ended games. I find I forget where I'm at in sidequests and picking them up again can be a bit confusing.But Deathclaws are shit-your-pants scary and figuring out how to kill them without serious amounts of explosives or mininukes may keep me going!

Alkaline Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 I'm all over this bitch like a sweat rash on a pedo in a school yard. I managed to get it for 20 in Gamestation on Saturday. Bang goes my social life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon Of The Fall Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 the combat took a bit of getting used to. but a few hours in it becomes seamless. i only played fable 2 for a few hours last month because my disc drive has had fallout inside ever since. you get a warm feeling inside when you mange to remove a head, both arms and both legs with a decent magnum shot using VATS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know where it starts and who I should talk to?i think vault 87 is the one where you have to enter via some caves in Little Lamplight (its in the main questline)and for "you gotta shoot them in the head" go to underworld, and speak to a goul called Mister Crowley (up the stairs to the right) he'll give you the mission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been talking to Mr Crowley at night and you have to talk to him during the day to get the mission to start.My only problem now is that I don't know how to get the Brotherhood to teach me to wear Power Armour.

I had been talking to Mr Crowley at night and you have to talk to him during the day to get the mission to start.My only problem now is that I don't know how to get the Brotherhood to teach me to wear Power Armour.again, this is in the main questline. you will be sent to the main headqauters of the brotherhood and you can ask the leader if you can be trained. then you find the the guy who does it (in the main courtyard) and you will be able to equip all types of power armour.use gamefaqs.com if you get stuck again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I finished this with good karma on new years eve.I was a bit gutted cos I could have done alot more side quests.Going to play it again being a complete cunt to everyone.

Chris Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I finished this with good karma on new years eve.I was a bit gutted cos I could have done alot more side quests.Going to play it again being a complete cunt to everyone.I'm trying really hard to be bad but there's still something inside me that keeps making me do the right thing. Though I did purposely destroy someone's robot after I offered to repair it then shot him in the head for complaining. Turns out he lied about not having any caps, so it was totally worth the bad karma.Did anyone blow up Megaton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran_imray Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Did anyone blow up Megaton?Yeah, the nuclear explosion is fucking awesome to watch, I killed Burke and Tenpenny after to vaguely regain some karma (and to get Tenpenny's sniper). I seem to keep doing what I think is the morally right thing then losing karma for it, does this mean I'm really a bastard at heart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Yeah, the nuclear explosion is fucking awesome to watch, I killed Burke and Tenpenny after to vaguely regain some karma (and to get Tenpenny's sniper).Might start a new game after I'm finished just to set off the bomb. I only bought this at the weekend, up to level 6 and so far my least favourite mission is by far the fucking fire ants in Grayditch. I had enough ammo, stimpacks and explosives to take over a small country, but getting through those fire ants almost wiped me out.By the end of it I was just throwing mines at them then getting their attention so they walked over them, seemed a much easier solution and certainly saved what meager ammo I had left.

Teabags Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 There's so much I haven't done that I really do need to play it again. I haven't even been to big town or underworld.I think I'm gonna do every quest I can before moving onto the main stroy quests. Should take me a while. Though I might not get offered as many quests when I'm being a complete bastard to all and sundry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 The subway system is really starting to annoy me. Trying to get to the vault tec headquarters from the galaxy news radio building is a nightmare! They're right beside each other on the map but I spent an hour last night fighting through subway lines and still didn't get there.Thankfully I'm now at a sufficient level that the zombies in the subway don't pose any threat to me at all. The scrounger and commando perks appear to be paying dividends for me as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
