There are actually a lot of endings but you have to do a lot of exploring and questing to get them. Now, anyone else tried spawning Liberty Prime on top of Ten Penny tower? Best fun ever.
Not tried that but I have given myself his eye-laser. It runs on Microfusion Cells ;d Your character looks like they're holding an invisible pistol with the weapon drawn and the laser bursts out of your chest. No doubt in my mind that a modder will see this and add a Kame-hame-ha animation to it for kicks and giggles.

What command did you use to get his eye laser? That would be pure awesome.

I noticed something kind of weird - a lot of the main characters seem to be black: Lucas Simms, Three Dog, Red, I think the Vault 101 Overseer was too (I haven't met any Brotherhood of Steel guys or Enclave guys yet or anything, so I don't know about them). Forgive me if this is offensive or anything, I'm really not trying to be, but something about it made it seem as though the devs were really, really trying to not be perceived as racist in any way.

Or I might just be crazy.
I think you may just be unobservant. (The Overseer of 101 is not black, for instance.) There's a pretty fair mix if you actually travel around and meet the NPC's.

Sometimes, I like to create a black character identical in face and hairstyle to Three Dog. Then, in the dead of night, I enter GNR Studios completely naked.
I'd be impressed if you could get the face editor to produce anything like what you intended, given that it's the same bag of shit one as Oblivion.

I think the amount of characters a given skin tone/race has to do with what race/ skin tone your character is. I noticed a good number of black people too, and figured it was because my character is black.

The thing is, though, my character is white. But it makes me feel better to hear you say you noticed a lot of black people too.

I'm doing the quest "Those!" right now with all the fire ants. What a pain in the ass those are! It's fun sniping them with my hunting rifle though (well, when I don't miss and have to furiously backpedal to keep my ass from getting roasted).

One moment...fetching....fetching...
Type into your console "player.additem 00033FE2 1" without the quotation marks to recieve one shiny Liberty Laser (his eyebeam). Typing in "player.additem 0005932F 1" will, apparently, give you one of his big explosion bomb things he occasionally throws, though I haven't tested this so I don't know if it works/how it works/what it does just yet.

Edit: Oh, and his eyelaser can be a bit difficult to aim properly. It fires really fast though (Semi-auto) has a 255 cell clip and does a lot of damage. Generally I find it easiest to use in VATS. Also, it'll still fire from the same position if you're sneaking, so it's actually a bit above your head while in sneak/crouch mode, as far as I can tell.

There are two 'different' endings depending on whether you blew up Raven Rock or not; the only difference is that if you blew up Raven Rock and then didn't deploy the virus it says 'the wanderer refused', whereas if you did blow up Raven Rock it says 'the wanderer refused wholeheartedly'.
-Useful complainer

Ya...I can see 200 endings if an "ending" counts as a single word altered.

Does anyone else think Three Dog sounds like Frank Zappa?
Now I do. What we need to is to hear him talk about Droma Drosis.

I can have eye lasers on the PC version?

Hey, I think I've discovered a major glitch with the Big Trouble in Big Town quest and I need some help. I rescued Red from the jail-place, and then mezzed her and put on a slave collar, since she was one of the special targets Eulogy wanted. She promptly ran away, and the quest said I had to go to the place in Paradise Falls where they kept the slaves, but I can't find her anywhere and I don't know how to complete the quest.
You shouldn't enslave some one while you're trying to rescue them.

She probably died en route to Paradise Falls. Oops?

Then the quest would have said so. Did you collect your reward? You may not be able to see her until you do. Also,w hy the hell wouldn't you go and return her to Big Town first? I mean, seriously. Common sense man.

Indeed. You could've gotten both rewards. Now you have none because Red is probably scared and running away and then BOOM slave collar.

I have a sneaking suspicion that FO3 will be the next game Yahtzee reviews. I'm heartily looking forward to him exaggerating every minor flaw, contradicting himself 100 times over along the way. I also can't wait to see all the comments from the clueless sheep agreeing with him, although they personally haven't even played the game.

Possible upcoming Yahtzee criticisms:

- Too much action, not enough RPG.
- Too much like Oblivion.
- Subways look samey.
- Not as good as the old Fallouts. (Although I'm fairly confident that he's never played them, due to certain comments made by him in certain past reviews. I wish I could remember what they were, but I DO remember thinking he was a clueless dolt. He'll probably just read the Wikipedia article for the old Fallouts and see what jokes he can pull from that.)
- Made-up criticism just for the sake of humour.

Possible upcoming video comments:

- Har har, your best one yet!
- This one wasn't very good compared to last week's.
- This video is a return to form.
- *Insert quote from video.*
- *insert more quotes from video*
- The ads suck!
- Please review X.
- Why haven't you reviewed X?
- Marry me Yahtzee, so we can make babies that maintain an equal degree of unwarranted self importance and autofellatio.

I think I have this one sussed, fellas.

Woooo, nice sublimating the game for the purpose of empty Yahtzee-bashing! I swoon at your utter ballsy-ness.

Criminy. If you don't like the guy, just ignore him. And Get Over Yourself.

I find the guy entertaining, but I just find him to be a very ill-informed and poor game reviewer.

Also - Hehe, criminy.

I also have no idea what 'sublimating' means. I thought that was the process of ice turning to water vapour.

Is it bad, that I can basically not kill anything? I mean I escaped the vault, and got a mission in megatron , and now have to go through a subway. I'm level 2, and there are three zombies that keep tearing me apart...
