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

They apparently looked to Destiny for inspiration for their gunplay, which is the one thing about Destiny I would actually say they nailed, plus they actually had the lead gameplay guy from Bungie helping them

But yeah, NV is pretty neato

can anyone else decipher just what the hell aria meant back there lol

Wow really? That's good news then. Yeah not a fan of Destiny in a lot of regards, but gunplay is one of the top examples of it doing very well.

Urgh the gunplay in New Vegas is what's stopping me from playing it. It's such a chore.

It's all in the pudding

It's better on PC since you don't have to rely on VATS. Just get Project Nevada mod and it's even better.

I just noticed--the intel Moira wanted on Rivet City's history is available elsewhere, apparently. An "(Optional)" sidequest appeared, and it says I can ask other people about the city, too. Great--I thought I was done with that one.

I haven't skipped out on any of the optional ones yet, so I may as well do them all.

My game is really beginning to shit the bed. I got killed, and when I came back, every time I pressed a button, there would be a massive input delay. Like... a full minute. So I'm sitting there pressing buttons, wondering what the fuck is going on, and a minute later, it finally starts doing what I told it to do sixty seconds ago... all at once.

Not sure if it's the game or the port or whatever, but goddamn, I hope that's not gonna be a recurring theme.

Never heard of that problem before, weird

Yeah, Bethesda games are buuuugggggyyyyyy

Doesn't excuse it, but they usually are often full of bugs

Probably an issue with the PS3 version. Bethesda games are normally buggy on Xbox and PC, but they're almost down right broken in some places on PS.

Also, I think you get cooler stuff when you finish if you do all the optional tasks

Galaxy News Radio is now blazing all over the US. Apparently Three Dog (somehow) heard that I already learned about my dad from Dr. Li, so he gave me the map marker for a weapons cache instead. Cool. I'm sure he would've given me that anyway, but I appreciate that the game is self-aware of the number of paths you can forge for yourself.

Actually I'm pretty sure he doesn't give you the location of the cache if you don't know where your dad is

That's really cool if that's true.

He doesn't.

OT- The developers knew full well you can simply skip to the location which you find your father (best quest 2008). They kept it in so people can simply find him by exploring or whatever. They could easily seal access to that location,but they chose not to.

I like that. Means I can skip half the main quest straight outta the vault.

Yeah, you could technically skip like half the main quests if you already know where to look

but theres no fun in that unless youre just trying to skip to the dlc or something

I saw a twenty minute speedrun of the MQ where the guy walked to (Dad Location) then to the Citadel and glitched into the Citadel to start the endgame.

It was amazing.

I need some shells.

Most difficult ammunition to find, I swear.

Well, I was searching for a guy called Pinkerton to see what he knows about that missing android, but I met some woman called Victoria Watts who confronted me about the whole situation. Basically establishing the ethical implications of turning the android in to Zimmer, despite the fact that he is, for all intents and purposes, a sentient being.

I've been waiting for this. I'm gonna tell Zimmer that the android is dead.


First time I had to lie in this game, but at least it was for a good cause.

Leveled up twice, because I gave myself the Here and Now perk. Invested a ton in small guns, energy weapons, and speech, and got Strong Back as well, so I can loot more stuff.

Next, I think I'll try to find the Declaration of Independence. Shouldn't be too hard.

Aren't you at all curious who the android is?

Well, he's not gone forever, is he? Though, he'll probably be a lot more difficult to find now.

You can't find him if you don't find all of the clues to him. He's still there, but you'll never get the dialogue confirming who he is.

Spoiler

Harkness. He went to Pinkerton for his surgeries; you seriously only needed to talk to like two people to get an awesome plasma rifle and get the good karma ending.

Because that's a different good karma ending, albeit less rewarding. It's mainly there as a way to forfeit the quest without failing out if you can't solve it.

Stupid. I'd go back, but whatever, fuck it. It's done.

That really shouldn't even be an option, if you can just tell him to run along anyway.
