Any time you can go to underworld. I don't remember if he' got a karma requirement off the top of my head.

Nope, no karma requirement. He costs 2000 caps, or 1000 if your barter skill is high enough. Alternatively you can carry out a little assassination.

What are the main cities, for quests? I have been to Megatron, Girder Shade, Little Lampshade (sort off), Big Town, Rivet City, and the Brotherhood of Steel Citadel. I have also been to Tenpenny Towers, but after killing Tenpenny, most of the guards and all the shop keepers, they aren't to happy with me.

That's weird... I killed him, nicked his stuff and threw his corpse over the ledge but the residents & guards all love me and haven't even noticed he's gone... And this was BEFORE I decided to kill all the ghouls because their leader was being a total ass.

I dunno, I go near and get shot at. I did admittedly kill all shop keepers, named NPCs and Tenpenny, and walk about in his robe when I go near there.

That might be in bad taste.

And I just had a pretty cool idea for some dlc or something - your character can become a ghoul!

Someone already beat you to it. I've seen a mod where you can choose ghoul as a race, and another where you can choose to play as a little kid.

*sigh*, I have the Xbox version. I would prefer an official version anyway. Mods just don't rub me the right way...

'Official versions' are mods :\. Just payed mods instead of free.

My problem with mods (at least for good games, and Fallout 3 is perfectly fine out of the box, imo) is like this - you're at a restaurant, and the chef lovingly prepares you a delicious meal. But then when it is served to you, he is appaled when you add your own ingredients and spices that you brought with you. It's like saying the game isn't good enough. It's kind of insulting to the devs, in a way.

Ah. I only killed TP. I don't intend to murder anyone who I can trade with Though tbh I'm loaded now.

I have a constant of 1000 caps, if I buy something expensive I replenish them quickly, but stop once I get to about 1000

You probably want to seek out Canterbury Commons (on the east side of DC), both for the named quest set in the town (The Superhero Gambit, which is hilarious) and for all the caravans that pass through it. You can even start bankrolling caravans, which makes them a lot more effective (and lucretive) when you meet up with them.

I like Toast
Some other people here also like Toast.

Now, what we have ON that toast is a personal preference.

Bethesda has given us some insanely yummy, warm buttery toast.

Modders are simply adding some Branston Pickle to it.

No offense to the people who gave us the Toast in the first place though. (The master gaming chefs at Bethesda)

In my opinion the way that Bethesda sets up an Editor for things (Morrowind, Obivion, and soon the GECK for Fallout 3) is in recognition/acceptance of this. Modders have no real time limit, no monetary issue with whether it'll cost too much to implement, and there are THOUSANDS of modders, compared to the smaller group of people Bethesda has.

No time limit
+ No money issues
+ An insanely larger group of people to bounce ideas around

= Greater customiseability, (Yes it's may/may not be a word, but it sounds so darn right)
+ The same great game, just more of what YOU want out of it. And more of what YOU want can't be a bad thing.

I can't wait for the GECK to come out because frankly, the Modding community for Fallout 3 has already done some awesome things WITHOUT that resource. And to paraphrase a song in a relatively cliché method..."Things can only get better."

I did a hell of a lot of exploring and rarely came back without a full inventory. I haven't played for a while but I definitely have over 40k.

 

[ThaBenMan]

Ok, you guys bring up some good points. Maybe I'm just bitter that I'm stuck with the Xbox version -_-

Nice, you got stuff in your house yet? Also, you know how to use power armor

Oh, like, yeah I completed the game a while back after I got to level 20. Now I've changed the level cap and kept on exploring. I don't wear power armor because when you get to a small gun skill of 100, armour really makes no difference as nothing ever reaches you. I just wear stuff that looks cool But I don't really play anymore what with Left 4 Dead and Red Alert 3.

I pretty much do that anyway... and is the cap 20, or can you keep going up through grinding?

The normal, unmodded cap is 20. But if you have the PC version I'm sure there's a mod that can raise it. And I imagine the DLC coming out will raise it as well.

Well, if you wanna play as a ghoul, why don't you trek it over to my Fallout RP in the RP and Forum Games Thread? Now 50% off!
