A question to Fallout 3 owners.

[Omikron009]

For me, my first file took 50 hours to complete the campaign, every sidequest, and the broken steel and point lookout DLC. I probably didn't explore as much as I should have. With 3 files, I've played for about 125 hours. It's my favourite game.

I have pretty much every thing worth get from the wasteland, have found all locations,finnished every quest and I'm still going strong. Its just that fun
also can't wait for new vagas.

 

[_Cake_]

I take my time ... I COULD blow through it +dlc in about a day. Although the real fun is just exploring. Sux to the main story do side quests. I have played through way too many times and on average I take about 100 hours for a full play through and around 150-200 for a lvl 30 character.

P.S. AND I'M STILL FINDING NEW STUFF! (Have you found the roach king yet? n_n I found him on like my 7th play)

I have a challenge for you sir. A scavenger hunt. No peeking at guides either.

1. The Dog Warrens
2. The ant colony that isn't Those!, The Superhuman Gambit, Shalebridge, or the Corvega factory. No Queen.
3. Ruzka the Dancing Bear
4. Tyrannosaur Skeleton next to a skeleton of a man with a shotgun
5. General Chase's overcoat
6. Lag-Bolt, Lug-Nut's brother
7. Teddy Bears tied to the train tracks, with a gnome taking pictures
8. A Mr. Handy that recites "There Will Come Soft Rains"
9. A sniper rifle and a chair sitting on top of a high cliff, with a beautiful view of the valley below...
10. Zhu-Rhong v418 Chinese pistol

None of these are marked on the map. Half of them are DLC. Don't go insane if you can't find 5, you may not be able to. None of them are random encounters, as that would just be evil.

EDIT: You did find Rockopolis, right?

I have put maybe 100+ hours into it. Played all the expansions and have nearly every achievement point out of the game.

2 is pretty hard, even after I found it once I had trouble finding it again, so kudos! (to quote Crazy Wolfgang) 7 isn't that hard if you're paying attention, and if you found 2 you won't have much trouble with 1. 4 is tough though. 3 should be obvious where to look if you pay attention to loading screens...
9 will take a good bit of wandering.
