Fallout 3 Megathread! Only post here for any reason! - Games

[QUOTE=Fadeaway]By character skill, I mean the level for it. Seeing as you can't attempt stronger locks without a good lockpicking skill, the odds are that you won't be able to access some terminals without a decent Science skill. [b]Edit:[/b] But essentially, it's just a guessing game. I suppose your skill and the difficulty of the terminal determines things like how many guesses you get or how many words you have to pick from.[/QUOTE] I might be wrong, but my opinion right now is that the system needs a LOT of work.

[QUOTE=Fanboydude]"Durr how do I turn on this computer :downs:"[/QUOTE] Your lack of understanding of the Fallout world astounds me. Computers are a significant way in which technology was affected by the divergence from our timeline: they aren't household appliances like we use, they're almost exclusively in high-tech facilities and for specific things. Naturally, they also require a significant understanding of how they work, something which isn't commonplace. As someone who wasn't even trained for that specific console, reaching a point where one can attempt to access the system's functions themselves would be difficult, especially for someone who isn't educated enough to know how computers work, let alone deciphering the techno-babble and jargon which gets pumped out. The short of the long: a stupid character would lack the ability to bypass any security measures before the password itself or simply be unable to understand most of what they're seeing. [B]EDIT[/B]: [QUOTE=Achilles123]I might be wrong, but my opinion right now is that the system needs a LOT of work.[/QUOTE] It's marginally more user friendly than Fallout and Fallout 2's methods. Most of what was in there was unintelligible and badly laid out. I still think there's got to be a better way than this.

[QUOTE=Fadeaway]Your lack of understanding of the Fallout world astounds me. Computers are a significant way in which blaa blaa blaa[/QUOTE] I can't... I can't quite make a reply to this. It was a joke.

[QUOTE=Fanboydude]I can't... I can't quite make a reply to this. It was a joke.[/QUOTE] Hilarious. Moving swiftly on, Bethesda really need to release more media in different places. They could also do us a favour and demonstrate a settlement other than Megaton and Tenpenny Towers. The way Todd talks about them, it's as if they're the only safe settlements in the game.

I wonder if we get to see a robot at every city entrance we find. :v: Does anyone know what is going on The White House? The President is still there?

[QUOTE=Gmodpanda]I wonder if we get to see a robot at every city entrance we find. :v: Does anyone know what is going on The White House?

Those two seem very likely considering its importance before the war and its symbolic significance to the Enclave.

[b] H O L Y S H I T [/b] This exceeded my expectations by tenfold Seriously This looks so fucking epic. It's what STALKER wishes it could be.

[QUOTE=XcoliahX] This exceeded my expectations by tenfold Seriously This looks so fucking epic. It's what STALKER wishes it could be.[/QUOTE] It's things like this which make me lose faith in Fallout 3. First, it's not even out yet and we've barely been shown much of it outside of combat. Second, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a shooter with RPG elements and to be fair, it [B]does[/B] imagine itself to be Ukraine's answer to Falllout: the old ones by Black Isle and Interplay, not this one.

I never played S.T.A.L.K.E.R. because my PC can't run it without lag(EXTREME lag.). But yeah, i think Fallout 3 looks like S.T.A.L.K.E.R., i still want that danm suit. :v: I think there should be a option that we talk with the sheriff about Burke and then go around the town hunting him with sheriff eventually going inside Tennpenny Tower, and killing Burke into a epic way after that we steal a car and jump from the roof of Tenpenny Tower and we blow it up... I think i have been watching too many action movies. :v:

I head the SIN Episodes pistol sound in the third gameplay vid. And Bethesda re-used the oblivion voice actors, the Redguard, Imperial, and Sheogorath.

WAIT, in Fallout 3, there are no vehicles we can drive, not even a little mutant pony or something? :<

[QUOTE=Gmodpanda]WAIT, in Fallout 3, there are no vehicles we can drive, not even a little mutant pony or something? :<[/QUOTE] Mutant horses?

No, i said mutant PONIES. :v: I still want that cool suit and a giant tank. :v:

I haven't played the previous Fallout games, but I'm sure FO3 will kick ass.

I think i am going to buy Fallout 1 and 2. I am just interested in Fallout 3 cause i like Post-Apocaliptic settings and i can't find any good game like that Come on,time,go faster damnit. :excited:

[QUOTE=Fadeaway]Hilarious.[/QUOTE] When there are quotes and :downs: on the message, 90% of the time it's a joke.

I really can NOT wait for this to come out. This few months is chuck-full with great games like Fracture, Brothers in Arms, Far Cry 2, This, Fable 2. :D :D :D

the VATS Thing is fun on the site :D [url]http://www.prepareforthefuture.com/#/3/[/url]

Any news if we can enter Tenpenny Tower without blowing up Megaton?

I really want to be able to kill essentials. Really really really badly.

[QUOTE=Gmodpanda]Any news if we can enter Tenpenny Tower without blowing up Megaton?[/QUOTE] You can arm the bomb and just not set it off obviously.

What I really hate is that all the people that annoy you the most, probably you won't be able to kill.

Can we blow up Eye-Bots? :v:

The thing i don't like about fallout 3 is the way the enemies die, with all the gore and arms flyin. kinda looks like a gmod gore mode. but i still want this game.

[QUOTE=shadow_oap]The thing i don't like about fallout 3 is the way the enemies die, with all the gore and arms flyin. kinda looks like a gmod gore mode. but i still want this game.[/QUOTE] I hope they keep Mr.Handy :(

[QUOTE=Achilles123]I hope they keep Mr.Handy :([/QUOTE] Who is Mr.Handy? :3:

[QUOTE=Gmodpanda]Who is Mr.Handy? :3:[/QUOTE] Mr.Handy walks the dog. HE'S SO HANDY! :( The game wouldn't be the same without him.

"Bloody Mess" perk. Jesus fucking Christ, that's all I read people bitching about on the Bethsoft forums. Fucking shit hell. [b]Edit:[/b] [QUOTE=PhantomEast]I really want to be able to kill essentials. Really really really badly.[/QUOTE] There are barely any essentials in the game. There are, at least, 200 or less (I think) characters in the game.

[QUOTE=Fanboydude]"Durr how do I turn on this computer :downs:"[/QUOTE] "They're [i]in[/i] the computer" "Of course..." *Smashes computer* "Hey, where are the files...?"

[QUOTE=Gmodpanda]Any news if we can enter Tenpenny Tower without blowing up Megaton?[/QUOTE] Sure, for the right price.
