I don't have enough money to buy Fallout 3 right away, as much as I'd like to, so I'll end up renting it about 3 PM later today. I'll be sure to comment on my First Impressions with the game in this thread ASAP.
Just be aware that this game doesn't get fun until you start to invest in your character and the people around him.

Also, I'm building up an army, I have Dogmeat and Charon, and I'm saving up to buy some slaves, should be fun
You can buy slaves in the game? How does that work exactly? Is there a limit to how many you can own? And how is Jack Thompson not ranting nonstop about this?
He's disbarred, without court he is powerless. Yes you can buy slaves, Eulogy in Paradise Falls sells 3 kids, which, if you help escape you can't buy but he also has a female bodyguard for sale

I'm absolutely loving this game, and have joined the horde of players sporting a sniper rifle and explosives. Here's a q: if you've spent a solid few days playing this game and have finished it, whats the replay value like? I'm considering either powering through the main quest going for a quick finish and start the game again or doing each and every question and exploring every inch of the map but I'm worried I might not feel that inclined to play after that. Thoughts?
I don't know how much you can replay a game in a row, but I'm going to suggest doing what I do, since I have a bit of an addictive personality and will a play a game to death to quickly. So therefore I'll play it once or twice, depending on how long it is, what kind of game, etc. In a game with good/evil perspective I'll do an evil and then a good. After my one or two playthroughs I'll go and play something else; maybe some COD4, SR2, Gears, whatever. I'll pick up a different game and play through it a bit, and then maybe another. And then the next time I pick it up I will have forgotten it a bit and it will be a bit more fresh.

Paradise Falls is North of Megaton
Also, anyone know where the market in Old Oney is?
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_3_map

That town is dangerous, careful.
I've already killed every Deathclaw in town with the help of Dogmeat and my stalwart ghoul manservant Argyle...I mean Charon.
I'm just doing that quest where you have to find the Nuka-Cola Quantum and a report I have says that some was shipped to a market in Old Oney, but I can find a single grocer in that town, anyone know where one is?
Also, where'd you get them schematics RGP?

Yes but some have special requirements like having bad karma and such.

I did a small side-quest for Banon in Rivet City. You know, the black guy that runs the clothing shop.

Talk to him. How many companions can you have with you? Anyone?

I heard somewhere it was a maximum of 7+Dogmeat
And about Bannon, I got the quest, I poked around in Seagrave Holmes computer files, but when I returned to Bannon it wouldn't let me talk to him about it

How do you get into the White House? It's the last place in Washington DC for me to find, and I must map every single location in the area for Reilly's Rangers. It's not even about the bottlecaps anymore, I have to finish it.

And has anyone else found the satellite station where you can unleash a payload of missiles onto your position? It doesn't kill you, just looks freakin' awesome. I think it's east of Raven's Rock. And Dogmeat dies pretty damn easily in my game, always gets raped by a pack of Yao Guai.

But you can't have all at once seeing some are only for good and some only for bad.

It's on the road to the east of Old Olney, iirc. It's in a truck. Lot of Nuka Cola and Quantum.

Where is the tricycle factory? In the Nuka Cola Factory you can find a formula and a dead merc. He has a note on his body that tells you there is a buyer for at that factory.

Red Racer factory maybe? To the west of Arlington library I think.

Thanks, I found it on there. It's near the Nuka Cola Factory.

I'm pretty sure they'll add more trough mods and dlc's.
They'll add more... eventually? Why didn't they just add more before they released it?

Although the exploring value in Fallout 3 is way way better than in Oblivion,
Oblivion was a terrible game, so I should hope so.
Because that's the way they do now. Bethesda especially. Also, Oblivion wasn't that bad. Atleast to me. I suppose if I was a veteran of older games I'd feel different but I liked it. Brought me much enjoyment and happiness.

Well, I'm about 3+ hours into the game and I get the impression I've only scratched the surface. However, there's something I need help with.

Is it a good idea to nuke Megaton early on or no? I just want to ask now before I make a decision in-game I'll later regret.
