I let Ian stay with the family since he's more accepted around them. Him going by himself would just repeat it.
Have you done everything there is to be done in this game?
I have. The way I ended it was retiring to my home in Megaton, getting on it, and then saving.

It was basically my way of saying the Lone Wanderer has "earned a rest".
that's how i'd like to end it, too
Just go to Old Olney for one final great battle with your weakest armor and strongest melee weapon.
You're so OP by level 15 in that game anyway, so you'd somehow probably still win.
Not if he switches the game to hard.

The difficulties in Fallout suck though. It's literally just how much more of a bullet sponge the enemy becomes. No less loot drops, no higher prone condition wearing or less critical hits. Just... bullet sponge.

Last time I played Fallout 3 it ended really depressingly, because I got stuck in Vault 106 forever because there's no console to open the door from the inside, and my saves from outside the vault corrupted.

So I just took a room for myself and set up my gear in it, sat down in a chair and saved and quit forever lol.

That's basically the first time I played Dead Money lol

What do you expect when you put a file on a computer labelled DO NOT OPEN? For me to not open the file?

Uhh... That's kinda messed up. Why would they intentionally have a game-breaker like that?...

Probably something they simply missed. I don't think the save file corruption was intentional, obviously.

Like the cannon room in Twilight Princess.

<.<
There are a few locations that you can uh... get trapped in <.<

It's just a side effect of the game having such a large amount of content/locations that occasionally bugs get overlooked. Thankfully they aren't common but the best thing anyone can do when playing a title like Fallout is to save often and stagger your saves.

Unfortunately save corruption can happen sometimes for some reason, but that's basically just divine intervention in terms of how it occurs/unable to prevent.

All right. I'm gonna try and get as much done possible today before the GOP debates start.



How hard would it be to do a vegan-only playthrough of this?...

Water & Stimpaks being pretty much the only things you could consume.
No armor, either--if it's made out of some animal hide.

I won't try--I've justified it mentally by saying, well, society's SO fucked anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.

Can't take Jet, for one.

It's taken from Brahmin dung... technically an animal product?

In FNV it's possible, I think. Caesar's Legion has a strict "no-chems" policy, so most of their stuff is derived from plants... so it's easy to maintain a serial-killer vegan gamestyle.

There's always perks for that though.

Plus, you'll love your friends, Med-ex and Pyscho for when you need to tank damage for Deathclaws.

You don't need em anyway. Get yourself some good power armor, some good weapons, lots of stimpaks, and Deathclaws are just gonna be....not so bad.


Pack extra underwear anyway.

Essentially.

Unless you have the Winterized T-51b Power Armor and a Gauss Rifle.

Or the most useless weapon EXCEPT for one thing...

No, verb. That's cheating!
The dartgun. You can kill deathclaws with a Chinese pistol if you so wish after a shot with that.
