Jesus Christ. It's not that hard a game to play! If you want to heal without losing 'perception' (which btw stimpaks dont cause you to do), just travel a few squares on the map and you'll be fully healed. Plus both Fallout games have a marvelous new invention called a 'quicksave'. So if you do mess up on basic things like walking- into-a-load-of-rad-scorpions-armed-only-with-a-spear you can go back a few minutes and avoid them.

the patch is several years of fans fixing the various bugs

Darramouss to you i say :p

That is all. Good tip on the square though. Will try that cheers.

Have you looked at the manual Kv_nol? I believe Fallout 2 includes it on the CD (er, image).

a.b. (alanbanana), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 09:57 (twenty years ago)

Would you believe I haven't? I will have a look at the erm... CD at home and see if it's there.

I've been playing Fallout 2 lately, as a good char. Got addicted to radaway. :(

Think I'll have to make another, right after I finish, as an evil guy, so many fun opportunities missed. Car is best filled with the microfusion ammo for weapons like the plasma rifle. Believe you can also use the laser/plasma pistol ammo on it, but the ratio is poor enough that it isn't worth it. Arcanum is definitely worth playing too, if you can find a copy of it.

here ya go, Arcanum, fifteen bucks

great game, a few annoying bugs

kingfish du lac (kingfish 2.0), Thursday, 29 June 2006 05:13 (twenty years ago)

I can only hope Fallout 3 maintains the same high standards as 2, when it comes to drugs, violence, language, and prostitution. Curious to know what direction they'll take the story in now as well.

ALLAH FROG (Mingus Dew), Thursday, 29 June 2006 06:49 (twenty years ago)

oh, deathclaws.

And make sure you get the patch that lets you shoot children. Hehe.

Darramouss ftw! (Darramouss ftw), Friday, 30 June 2006 13:24 (twenty years ago)

Wait, i've had no problem shooting children

Machibuse '80 (ex machina), Friday, 30 June 2006 14:08 (twenty years ago)

The patch doesn't let you shoot children, it just puts them in the game.
Then you can shoot them.

If you don't want to pick up the childkiller perk, you can also empty your inventory of everything except primed dynamite, then let them pick your pocket. 30 seconds later, and there's child guts on the walls.

This thread inspired me to track down an old copy of fallout and it came in the mail today. Huzzah.

some of the concept art has made it out, showing a Washington DC in ruins

wtf trailer can't see at work arrrgh

TOMBOT, Tuesday, 5 June 2007 16:33 (nineteen years ago)

Have you tried any of the mirrors?

kingfish, Tuesday, 5 June 2007 17:22 (nineteen years ago)

i can't see at work either but that's because i don't so much have a cublicle as an open office space where coworkers walk past my desk CONSTANTLY. UGH. it would not look like work. not like ilx :D

Will M., Tuesday, 5 June 2007 17:32 (nineteen years ago)

Okay, got it to work.

Fade-in: a close-up of a vacuum tube radio, tube comes to life and innocent postwar american pop tune plays(think the opening songs to FO1 & 2). Camera slowly zooms back and dollys out to show that we're in a ruined city bus, dolly out again to show a destroyed eastern american city. Grey and grey-black and blue-grey are the only colors. We zoom out again to show a dude in FO1-era power armor on the left hand of the screen, packing an automatic. Dude turns and looks at the camera, then slow fade-out.

Ron Perlman does the classic line, then "FALLOUT. 3" appears before dissolving into "FALL 2008"

kingfish, Tuesday, 5 June 2007 17:52 (nineteen years ago)

Radio is a Radiation King. Bus adverts are a "ENLIST today!" and one for the local Vaul-Tec vault, featuring Pipboy.

kingfish, Tuesday, 5 June 2007 17:53 (nineteen years ago)

please do not let it look like oblivion is all I'm asking

TOMBOT, Tuesday, 5 June 2007 18:00 (nineteen years ago)

More grey, less brown

kingfish, Tuesday, 5 June 2007 18:06 (nineteen years ago)

On June 5, 2007, Bethesda released the Fallout 3 Teaser trailer. The press kit released with the trailer indicates that Ron Perlman is on-board with the project, and cites a release date of Fall 2008. The trailer also features the Ink Spots song "I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire", which the previous Fallout developer Black Isle Studios originally intended to license for use in the first Fallout game. The trailer, which was completely done with in-engine assets, featured a closing voice over by Ron Perlman.

kingfish, Wednesday, 6 June 2007 06:41 (nineteen years ago)

And this has been confirmed for PC, 360, and PS3

kingfish, Thursday, 7 June 2007 18:52 (nineteen years ago)

well fuck them then

Latest ish of Game Informer has several pages on the game, actually showing gameplay.

Find scans here

You start at birth in Vault 101, and they kept the SPECIAL system.

And they will have a dog in the game.

kingfish, Monday, 18 June 2007 10:16 (nineteen years ago)

Also, Tombot, you should get a kick out of the setting: a wasted Washington DC.

At some point, your guy has to use abandoned Metro lines to get around.

kingfish, Monday, 18 June 2007 15:53 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not spending $400+ for a platform to play it on though

this is different from IRL how, lol

El Tomboto, Thursday, 21 June 2007 19:00 (nineteen years ago)

thing runs on PC, you shouldn't have to buy a new console. if you can run Oblivion, you should be able to run this(i hope i hope).

and the number of supermutants on the current metro lines isn't quite as noticeable as in the game.

kingfish, Thursday, 21 June 2007 21:07 (nineteen years ago)

I guess I could go find a copy of xp and dual-boot or whatever

El Tomboto, Thursday, 21 June 2007 21:10 (nineteen years ago)

XPpro damn well better be cheaper now that shitty vista is out. my win2k doesn't like the new games coming out.

kingfish, Thursday, 21 June 2007 21:13 (nineteen years ago)

lol paying fr windowz

Will M., Thursday, 21 June 2007 21:54 (nineteen years ago)

fuck the non-auth shit. i don't want to put up with that annoyance anymore, after having already borrowed my dad's neighbor's copy, which went bad on me.

four weeks pass...

vid of the aborted Van Buren/Fallout 3 project, before Interplay cut the funds and decided to make that stupid console game. Really. They had a choice between FO3 and F:BOS, and they went with the one that sold less than like 25K.

Also, NMA-Fallout has some new screengrabs and interviews w/ Bethesda from E3.

kingfish, Thursday, 19 July 2007 04:13 (eighteen years ago)

I can't stand to watch that Van Buren video. It makes me sad for what could have been. Like Silent Storm only /good./

BTW, you know there are ways around the non-auth, right?

piecing together the bits & threads of what is known about the next game so far, which still has a year plus before release. Apparently we'll get a demo, tho.

Emil: "We went back and forth with the impact of dialogue on the character, and ultimately decided we didn't want to penalize or reward the player for carrying on a conversation."

So this is a Fallout game how :(

Are you not afraid that introducing a father figure limits the freedom to imagine your avatar and imposes motivation on the player that may not be in keeping with the avatar he imagines?

ah hell, somebody let the NMA-fallout guys start asking questions

kingfish, Monday, 17 September 2007 07:03 (eighteen years ago)

If it weren't phrased so assholishly I'd almost agree... I don't feel good about Fallout 3 anymore. I TRIED SO HARD TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT THOUGH

Turns out that you will have a dog companion. Dorks on the Fable 2 boards are calling foul.

Good. One of hte things I really liked about Oblivion was the addition you could have to get a pet. Stomping thru dungeon with a dog made things better.

kingfish, Friday, 4 April 2008 07:21 (eighteen years ago)

Someone should tell Fable 2 fans bout a little game called Fallout 1 that came out in, like, 1979. With a dog companion.

Enjoying the series, I mean it's not setting my world on fire (ha) but still entertaining to me as a fallout fan.

Ste, Sunday, 28 April 2024 10:13 (two years ago)

I was worried with how stacked with REFERENCES the first episode was, but it soon goes its own way.
I was surprised by how much of the show came from the very first game.

adam t. (abanana), Friday, 10 May 2024 01:56 (two years ago)

Yeah, I enjoyed the series. I did think they had too many mystery plot arcs to reveal in the finale, but overall the series was worthwhile.

I’m curious how they’ll integrate the characteristic fauna of the universe. We had a radbear and a radroach and a radaxotl? But no death laws or supermutants yet
