Anyone heard a guy shouting crazy phrases over a tannoy near the Rangers compound? Any ideas as to who or what that is?

he's a wastelander who has rigged an entire alley with mines, you have to kill him, then avoid the mines to get through. Or, you can convince the other wastelander cowering in the corner to blow himself up.

 

[Spartan Bannana]

Guys! Is the dialog in this game anything like in the first one. Just curious 'cause I'm thinking of getting this game for Christmas.

It follows the same Tongue-in-Cheek style if that's what you're asking

Almost forgot, I was playing a hand to hand character, and I was fighting a mirelurk. I went up a hill, then went into VATS and out of sheer dumb, hilarious luck, my kick sailed into it's crotch. I laughed a lot after that.

I recall killing a feral dog with my character that has bloody mess, and it not only stayed intact, but died sitting, as if I had tamed it with my flaming blade of 1% CND.

Is there any way to stop the talon company mercs appering if you dissarmed the bomb in megaton, i olny just managed to survive a five man spawn. i figured that i could kill Burke and that would stop it but i can't find the bastard anywhere. even looked in tennpeny towers only to find tenpenny on the top floor, but no Burke.

I killed Burke, and they still came after me, but hunting rifles just rock in these situations.

I need help in a decision. Recently one of my friends came round and we went on a Fallout 3 marathon, doing quests and killing stuff. In all this, we saved once halfway through and never bothered to do so again. When I was seeing what the ripper could do, I *accidentally* shanked Moira while running around in 3rd person mode, at which point all of megaton ran after me. I killed them all with my alien blaster, but now I"m in a bind, as I've been playing a goody-two-shoes character, and this would be a rather sudden shift... What should I do? (Note, having the MIRV isn't good in terms of resisting temptations either >.>)

Wait a sec, couldn't you just load the autosave from when you walked into Craterside Supply? Or did you delete it or something?

And also, to fish food carl, have you tried going into third-person and then back again? That might fix your graphical glitch.

Yee, now there's the funny part.

I stupidly ran outside after the aforementioned shanking, with the whole city already pissed off at me, causing another auto save. =P

Well, I think you're up that famous creek without a paddle. Just do some quests elsewhere that will get you good karma.

 

[go_raiden]

Actually if you've already killed the citizens of Megatown, this might be a good time to go the whole 9 yards and blow up the town with the nuke that's sitting in the middle of it. The great perk you get is

Spoiler

your very own penthouse suite at Tenpenny Towers for doing this dirty deed!

 

[Alex_P]

Nope, the Talon guys just keep coming after you. At first I thought it would end when I waxed Tenpenny, so I lazily wandered up to his penthouse and blew off his head with a shotgun. Nope. I think it's just as long as you have good karma.

On the bright side, they're fun to fight and you can use their loot to repair Riley's Ranger armor.

I think i found where talon company are based, its on capital hill. though i just saw them at the gate at the bottom i didn't go for a closer look but there was a robobrian their aswell if i took them out there would they still spawn out on the map. i'll be raiding them tonite when i get home.

Edit: scratch that about capitol hill, did some serching and it turns out they are based Fort bannisster and their camp west of grayditch

Has anyone else become a "Pirate of the Wastes"?

I disarmed the bomb but then I decided I wanted to have a change of heart.
The discovery that I couldn't set it off anymore made me get mad...

If you have an explosives skill of one hundred it would make sense to let you do that, after all, they did say that it would take an expert to set it off while disarmed. But sadly, no.

 

[GloatingSwine]

I've wiped out a town on both games so far. Paradise Falls with my Good character, and The Republic of Dave with my neutral one. (Also nearly did Tenpenny Tower, but in the end just killed some guards and one unlucky spod who ran in front of Eugene).

 

[Gdup]

Fallout 3 looks brilliant and I'm hoping to get it at Christmas. Can't wait.

I got fallout 3 for xbox 360, although I don't have my xbox with me. My friend has it on his laptop and we play it non-stop! I have an orgasm every time I shoot a grenade in an enemy's hand <3!

I love doing that. Or shooting it as it goes past another enemy. Nothing better in any game than that

Eh, I decided that being a neutral/evil character was far more profitable, thus... =P Thanks for the help though. =D

I found this shotgun called Lincoln's Repeater in the Museum of American History. It has become my favorite weapon in the entire game (even surpassing the Shishkebab) and I have lovingly dubbed it "Annabelle" in homage to my favorite Half Life character.

I think it's actually a rifle. Try it out at long range.
