Fallout 3 - Hidden gems and random discoveries

Has she got any good loot?, I'm a pacifist so I try not to kill in games....

Yeah I'm a pussy.

Me too

I'm currently playing as a superhero, complete with the antagonizer's suit (renamed myself "Ambush Ant")

I go around beating the shit out of evil doers with my bare hands (though I sometimes use the shock baton)

That's fucking brilliant... did you kill her or be all nice and get her to give it to you?

Did you max everything to 80 find bobble heads and books
And.. use the perk to get everything to 9 an then find bobbleheads by any chance?

If so.. your cool, just like me!

I used the scrap metal glich to do it first.. just to sort out exaclty how i wanted my dude that still took a few hours though..

No, in fact you've got one up on me because I only have 4 SPECIALs maxed, but all skills at 100.

I basically just went and got every skill book I knew of first, then Bobbleheads, then graduallly maxed everything out by levelling.

It took like 40 hours, and then I was able to start the game for real, hah!

It's kinda stupid how fast you level up in F3 though.

Especially easy when you stick it on very easy and change it to very hard once your just about to kill a behemoth/ deathclaw. Easy Exp!

Tis abit sad how people like me and you spend up to 40 hours preparing to play a game.. But with me it just has to be done.. i don't know why..

I even was the same in pokemon when i was like 10, i just had to reach to max levels early in the game.. so the rest is somehow more enjoyable.. but it never is..

It must be some form on Leveling up in games OCD

The jumpsuit from Vault 77, found in Paradise Falls.

Sadly, no hand puppet came with it.

Wasn't there some story behind that too? A holotape the Slavers had made about the Vault dweller who killed a bunch of them?

The motel in Point Lookout one of the rooms has two skeletons one with a shotgun and a breifcase full of money with money strewn all over the room.

The motel was awesome. The No Country for Old Men room, the room that was the last kill of the Pint Sized Slasher. Nastiness.

Wait... so the slasher was one of the corpses? No, couldn't be... could it?

I think it's definately something a lot of gamers have, that compulsive completionist thing.

I was the same in Oblivion for a while but it got too annoying and boring grinding every single minor skill so as not to become utterly gimped.

Ugh... yeah.

Making a 'Damage Health 1pt on Self' spell and spamming it hundreds of times in order to have any kind of fighting chance against two trolls at once.

Oblivion is one of my all time favorites, but let's face it... the combat and levelling were utterly fucked.

Very, Very true..
Still, loved the game.. my favourite of all time (And no i havn't played morrowind)
Dark brotherhood assasinations with a bow and arrow, no enchantments on arrows.. i like to see where i hit the person

However im sure you were some sort of good guy blade?

 

[TheColdHeart]

I once found a bath in a shack somewhere out in the wasteland and inside it is a skeleton holding a toaster. That was a bit weird.

Also the rooms where people have commited suicide like somewhere there is a dead guy who killed himself by standing infront of a baseball launcher and on the wall is a bloodstain at head height.

Haha, yep...

I did do the Dark Brotherhood questline once, but it was too upsetting during a certain plot twist which I'm sure you know.

So now I stick to being Mr Goody two shoes (I do steal an awful lot of stuff though)

I've noticed Oblivion is most fun with the difficulty slider about 5 or 6 points to the left. It makes the battles less of a grind but still a challenge (if you can call it that, more like an endurance test)

Wasn't that in the Pitt somewhere? That was funnny.

As was the drainage chamber with the explosives expert who was after blowing himself up while making a bomb.

You sir have no idea how to enjoy a game.. The Dark Brotherhood questline felt so rewarding and badass.

I'm just sick of playing the Mr Goody in real life..

Sneak attack arrow to the back of the head for me, because like you said the combat it too repetative.. block, swing repeat untill dude is dead..

A nice arrow to the skull from hunderds of meters away =

 

[OceanRunner]

Special mention should go to the crazy guy in the alley with the mini-nukes.

 

[HerrBobo]

My battle with Commander Jabsco in fort Bannister, man that was epic. Last about 15 mins, switching between him chacing me and me chacing him.

 

[Nannernade]

I found this randomly exploring, it can help people out a lot when they first start out, when you are going to Megaton, do not go inside, but go past it all the way around to the other side in the back are a group of rocks, one of them you can search and inside is a note and a Sniper Rifle. =)

Also in Megaton if you go inside the sheriff's house go up to the top floor if you look closely there is a trap door on the ceiling you can access it and get up really high ontop of his house. I think it's a ship or something ontop of his house.

 

[Crazycat690]

Well, there's alot of interesting places in Fallout yes, but a funny thing happened once near a freeway. I was under attack by alot of raiders, so I hid in one of them bomb shelters. When I opened the door I heard an explosion and bodies flew past the shelter. Not that special but it looked very funny^^

All well and good out in the open, but in a dingy cave with three trolls all staggering you at once that won't cut it.

And I am perfectly capable of enjoying a game, thank you very much!

Haha, I honestly do feel too guilty playing the evil dude. It just doesn't grab me the way being good does. It feels empty to me!

Every so often I'll be a total Jerk though. Dragon Age is super fun to be a complete dick in.

And while you're there don't forget to pick up the Strength Bobblehead.

Man he's annoying... I sniped him and shut him up.

 

[JackalSick6Sick]

I found a crazy ghoul who collected plugers they were everywhere wish i knew where the place was i really should pay more attention to these things

if you wanna know where it is just search plunger room of death, and the ghoul isn't the guy that set up the plungers, you'll see his skeleton on the floor..

after he'd gone mad on Jet he used the plungers to get to the ceiling where he fell to his death.

I've never been interested in Dragon Age.. story looks all well and good
Tis just the combat that puts me off of the whole game though..

And that is where my 100% chameleon armour comes in! No.. i joke, i have it there for emergancys but have stopped using it due to its amazing overpowerdness.

I must admit, sometimes i do start to feel guilty.. it makes me sad..
But what makes me happy is exploding heads.. expecialy un-expecting nice ones

I like you, maybe one day when the world is in fallout.. we will meet, and the most epic duel of good vs bad will take place

Both with an Ol'painless of course
