Of Deathclaws & Radscorpions: A Fallout Thread

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

Trailer apparently comes out today. Liam Neesom is doing the voice of the player's father.

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

my way or the highway

this is different from IRL how, lol

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.

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

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

lol paying fr windowz

lol capitalism

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.

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.

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.

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.
