Fallout 3 Help

[Siuki]

correction there is 1 piece of knowledge i have not experienced in fallout and i almost have the answer. yao guai meat gives you a stat bonus (damage increase) so im pretty sure you can get addicted to it and i do not know for sure if you can or the effects of the withdrawal if possible so give it some time im stockpiling yao guai meat for my test (too bad all the yao guai in the yao guai tunnels are dead and dissapeared cuz i only have like 15 yao guai meat at the moment)

What are the yao guais?

Bears. Radioactive mutated bears. My advice is carry a combat shotgun for them.

They tend to start appearing around lvl 8 mostly through the south western half of the wasteland.

WTF is it with Fallout 3 and making already terrifying things even more terrifying? Giant Ants, Giant Scorpions, Mutated Bears, what's next? Octosharks and gigantic spiders with bat wings?

No. Mutated Crabs and genetically engineered chameleons.

Goddam* it. If you are joking, that sounds highly plausible for Fallout 3.

If you want to potentially have an easier game, max out your charisma and speech so you can skip quests or end them easier (and even get more stuff outta deals).
And be good so you can have a guy name Fawkes, who's a HUGE help.

Playing with Fawkes feels like playing with cheats on.

No, I'm dead serious. The Mirelurks are mutated crabs, and the Deathclaws are genetically engineered chameleons. Just be glad those damn golden geckos aren't in the game.

I myself wasn't playing for the gameplay....

The Mirelurks are a pain in the ass the headshot.(Their "hole" probably just a hard.)

That's why you avoid them or go melee.
might i suggest a bat?

yeah, hope you didn't

 

[Starke]

plasma?

Yes. Plasma. As in superheated gas. As in melt their face off.

 

[Siuki]

yeah, hope you didn't

If I still have it, first thing I'm doing is busting a raiders kneecaps. Not kidding.

 

[TraitortoHeaven]

plasma?

Yes. Plasma. As in superheated gas. As in melt their face off.

No, I mean, I never once used a plasma gun.
bullets all the way bro!

yeah, hope you didn't

I prefer to smack their face off with VATS, but to each their own

 

[brainslurper]

first- nuke megaton
second by a servant at paradise falls
and then you can pretty much take down anything you want. you dont have to nuke megaton, but try to get 1000 caps for the slave

I'm having trouble in the game and I'm wondering if I'm doing anything wrong. I've typed in my basic character sheet as an aid to the experienced Fallout 3 players of the Escapist in hopes of critiquing my current build and seeing if they have and tips or recommendations for me.

The problem isn't your character, your just doing a somewhat hard quest. You're not really suposed to go to DC (the south east) untill you level up more. Try things like Power of the Atom, Wastland Survival Guide, and Blood Ties

Of course I'll aim for headshots later, I just wanted to feel like a member of the mafia once, or should I use the plank with nail hammered into it?

 

[brainslurper]

i like personally to sneak behind them with chinese stealth armor and then shove some ginantic katana tazer thing inside their rectum until every known part of their body falls off.

no mafia would ever use that.
use the bat.

AND DONT NUKE MEGATON! save it and get a free house

 

[Indignation837]

Funny this thread should be here now, I'm at right about that point myself on my first time through. The game's tough at first, no doubt about that, but I actually restarted and found that putting lots of points into intelligence so you get more ability points per level helps.

The guy who tells you to do it's more slippery and dangerous than a live sea snake in a barrel of oil.
