Fallout 3 Impressions Thread - Progress: Complete (Main Quest)

I don't get why people are giving verb shit for not using drugs or alcohol. I didn't use them either and I got through the game just fine.

It's up to you. Play however you want.

I will.

Well at least keep them on you, some quests will be like "heal x with this swab of alcohol (requires 1 bottle of beer)"

Fair enough.

Verb's gonna love Dukov

I'll start playing my drugless playthrough of straight-edge druglessness later on today. Druglessly. Without any drugs.

I don't think I drank or did drugs in FO3 or NV, never really felt the need to.

I only use buffout when I need to carry more loot back to a vendor to sell.  I just sell everything else.

Verb.

Just remember that you made Moriarty money by selling him those cigarrettes. Because he just sold them to someone else for a higher price.

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. You can't prove that. I know he smokes.

You are now imagining Moriarty with an entire box of cigarettes in his mouth as he desperately chain smokes the entire package without even opening it in his back bar office after you sold them to him.

Hokay, so after taking forever to figure out why Darnified UI wasn't working (a hud thing for more PC friendly look), and various other things, I now have my mods in working order and the game good to go. Took some screen shots from the scenic overlook.

I wish Fallout 3 would work on my Windows 10 :<

I never used them unless my life depended on it.

Tfw you get addicted to steady with the first 10 minutes of every play through

I GOT FALLOUT 3 WORKING ON WINDOWS 10

SUCCESS

Tfw you get addicted to steady with the first 10 minutes of every play through

It's Moriarty. He's that Irish bastard that maintains the stereotype by running a bar and promoting all manner of debauchery. (and also somehow survived the worse post-apocalyptic life in Ireland, and travelled all the way to the East Coast...)

I'll bet if he was a real character (rather than an NPC strictly following some scripts), he'd sell them off for twice as much to one of the dregs in his pub. You know the quest with him to find your father, did you pay him straight off for the info or not?

I know what he's like.

I just don't really give a fuck.

I'm never doing drugs, and I'm never selling them, either. I'm sick of talking about this.

It would be funny to see you play as a Bad Karma character, I've a feeling you'd squirm the whole way through it.

It's not even about the drugs thing, it's just purposely limiting your playstyle. Eh, carry on.

Anyone else find it hard to believe that he just leaves stocks of Med-X lying around and doesn't sell it?

I wouldn't say I'm doing that. The way I look at it is this--the game is all about choice. You can do whatever you want, as long as you're mindful of the consequences. And since the game is just chock-full of shit to do, it really allows each player have his or her own unique experience with the game, so that no two people are going to have the same playthrough--not even close.

I appreciate that the game gives me the choice not to use drugs, instead of making them a necessary component. The fact that they give you that choice, to me, makes me feel more enriched, not less. Because I'm given the opportunity to play as myself, rather than being told that I can't have fun unless I do x thing. To me, that's probably the best thing about the game.

Since the game allows you to express yourself so vividly, which I think is a very beautiful thing, it would be more limiting not to express myself, or to play the game in a way that I don't actually believe in.

Drugs have some of the best caps-to-weight ratio, but to be fair he's playing the game to see how it is rather than exploiting the game mechanics/attributes to make a fast cap.

Exploitative story spoiler

Same way you can repeat killing the Enclave garrisoned at Jefferson Memorial in the final quest for power armour/plasma weapons/MF cells and subsequent caps for selling them.

A fair point, can't argue with that.

...but why not drugs though? Chill, I'm only fucking with you.

This thread makes me want to play Fallout 3 tbh

Drugs aren't even a big deal in Fallout. I only used them in crunch time if I already died a few times against people, and even then just... meh.

I rarely rarely used them.

There's this homeless guy called Micky just outside Megaton who keeps asking me for water. This is the third time.

Does he exist solely to raise your karma, or what?...

You'd think the guy would just be able to walk into Megaton and get some water himself
