You have a chem addition. If you do not take Psycho on a regular schedule, you will suffer. If you do, others will suffer.

You feel a burning desire to open another box of tragic cards.

Also, does anybody know why this game is apparently such a cult hit in Poland?

Virgin of the Wastes

Alternatively, it may be the gigolo picture, which my 14-year-old ass ALSO was in Fallout 2. But I remember that one having a mustache because I remember thinking "why does it have a mustache?"

I also remember the tragic cards. They were fricking awesome. Their full name was something like Tragic: The Saddening or something. And they all had sad things on them. You didn't get to look at them, though. But your guy could get addicted to opening booster packs.

Maybe....................

I think I'm going to have to give up at some point, my head is being seriously wrecked.

god I would love a MMORPG of this. I have so much fun having huge gunfights and doing lots of drugs.

also, make sure you get the fan-patch.

i can't remember if food does anything. check gamefaqs or SA or something.

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

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

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.

the Fallout PnP game is a-comin'

Check out their SEC filings for legalistic-related lolz

For those interested in playing the original Black Isle Fallout 3 tech demo.

wtf trailer can't see at work arrrgh

Have you tried any of the mirrors?

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

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"

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

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

More grey, less brown

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.

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

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.

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.

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

It's a fun place to visit. Definitely worth playing if you can get it on sale? I dunno I played a fuckton and then all of a sudden hit a wall and got bored with it - unfortunately after I sprung for the season pass. I keep telling myself I'm gonna dip back in but haven't yet..

i've been playing fallout 4 for a few months now and i'm starting to get tired of it and there's still a ton of the world i haven't even seen yet. it's funny how none of the new stuff is really mandatory so it ends up feeling exactly like fallout 3/new vegas unless you opt into that stuff. i've only done the structure/town building a couple of times when it was required for a mission and i almost never use power armor. i've got like five sets of power armor stashed around the map but i never really feel like i need to use it.

it seems pretty even in quality with 3 and new vegas to me, which still shades as a disappointment for a next-gen game. it doesn't even really look much better than those games, and it's just as glitchy. i've still gotten a lot of fun out of it though.

I enjoyed it while I played it but I accidentally stumbled into fighting for a different faction than the one I wanted to, and while I keep meaning to go back to it I just never do... Could never be bothered with the building stuff and I'm the same with power armour, like I'd store it for when I *needed* it but then just go ahead and not use it anyway

I enabled infinite ammo and it makes the game much more fun imo

Still haven't finished this shit tho

i think maybe it's ... too big? i play a lot of open-world games but i think after this i'll need to play something more linear to take a break

i was reading that critical essay up there and it mentions so many things i haven't even seen yet

I have yet to get this and I'm a little intimidated now!

Is there a PS4 version with all the DLC crap yet, or are they still chunking out DLC?

My approach on these, if the game allows it, is to take a linear path through to the end, and then run around doing other junk for fun, little clean-up quests. If the narrative branches a lot, then I'll play through a second time instead of doing things post-game, and not concentrate on getting to the end.

I just remember figuring out back in the Fallout 2 days that there was one gun store that had a fully-stocked basement, a single dude working there, and virtually no penalty for taking him out as soon as possible. Running around the wasteland and just blasting everyone after that was a joy.

I think that's the thing that was missing from Fallout 3. It really needed a trail of venomous candy just under the surface urging you to become a complete sociopath. The promise of reconciling with your father, who is a force for good in the world, is bullshit. It's a dog-eat-dogmeat world out there. Even if you help your people, they'll end up exiling you anyway.

i basically already said this but i think if you enjoyed fallout 3/new vegas and are ok with a game that doesn't really add much new to those games except a new story and slightly better graphics, getting fallout 4 is worth it. i think i paid like $20 for a used copy and i don't have any regrets.

I'm enjoying what little I've played, made a big mistake of looting loads and not saving - then dieing. Kinda stopped me from loading it up for a bit. I'll return, wiser.

The amount of mental memory these kids of games required is pretty great. It's almost like having a job

oh for heavens sake. I just spent 7 levels not realising i could activate the greyed out perks. So now my Strength is maxed out, but who cares.

flip side, I am enjoying it. Love the weapon crafting and half enjoying base building although don't see much point in it - at least gives me some reason to loot the shit out of anything though.

But yeah filling my fallout 3 thirst.

Flip again..

Some annoying glitch with mouse menu selection, why hasn't that been fixed?

Dialogue stuff is awful lol

Annoying dogmeat is annoying.

Not being able to update the radio playlists without disabling achievements is some bullshit imo

has anyone tried any of the dlc for 4?

Haven't. Supppsedly better than the main story, but that's it surprising.
