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

[QUOTE=Novangel]And also, HOW DOES THE BOS DEFEND THE PENTAGON WITHOUT CARS D:[/QUOTE]They probably have stationary APCs at the gates. If they don't, they have power armour and enough firepower to keep you out without vehicles. So stay the fuck back.

[QUOTE=NotYou3]I hope they don't have drivable cars. Oblivion's horses were one of the things (coupled with fast travel) that made the map seem a lot smaller.[/QUOTE] Beth. confirmed that there won't be any. They said it would be too much of a case of people racing to get the car (even though the same thing could be said for power armour). It seems to me like they took a look at Fallout 3 and realised that a car would be impractical in most places.

Bah, not having a car gives it a more "weary traveller" feel.

oh goody :4chan:

I'm going to tag science,small guns and repair. I'll be a nerd

[QUOTE=ryno5660]Bah, not having a car gives it a more "weary traveller" feel.[/QUOTE] but it would be fun

[QUOTE=PhantomNorth]but it would be fun[/QUOTE] Balance issues. Why waste time, health and ammo on that Bloatfly when you can just crash straight into it?

[QUOTE=Fadeaway]Balance issues. Why waste time, health and ammo on that Bloatfly when you can just crash straight into it?[/QUOTE] what if it was like an old beat up motorbike and if you run into something you'll get thrown off it and lose health then later on there are perks to help that

:v: Gametap has a fallout section now! fallout 1 is free, but the rest are premium.

[QUOTE=PhantomNorth]what if it was like an old beat up motorbike and if you run into something you'll get thrown off it and lose health then later on there are perks to help that[/QUOTE] Now a motorbike is entirely a different story. That I'd definitely like to see.

[QUOTE=Fadeaway]Now a motorbike is entirely a different story. That I'd definitely like to see.[/QUOTE] as would i

I'm going to be a super evil, up front and in your face combatant.

[QUOTE=Fadeaway]True. No field tests, no practical uses in combat until the war reached Alaska. Plus with it providing so much in terms of nuclear power, the world's governments didn't have any choice but to promote it as safe and efficient, while making the idea of the dangers or nuclear weapons a distant one.[/QUOTE] You must remember. The fallout timeline is the same as ours up to about 1950. So WW11 did happen, Nagasaki and Hiroshima were bombed with nuclear and hydrogen Bomb. PLUS, if you watch the video where that guy was promoting the Polaski Preservation Chambers, during the demo video, the guy goes in and there is a light that flashes saying "wait for radiation to clear" Also i do want a car, i don't think they'll do it. But then again, Bethesda did put horses in Oblivion. And i'd rather a car like in fallout 2, where you can store things in the trunk. Hey! maybe you can "fix" cars like how you can obtain blueprints and make guns.

Still, Chernobyl definitely didn't happen. Therefore, it's still to fair that the risks of nuclear power and radiation were very much underplayed.

I'm so hyped for this game that I decided to download Fallout1, it's a blast. The only thing I don't like about Fallout3 is the VATS, who wants to watch a slow-motion scene every single time you fire a weapon?! It's stupid, and most people (including me) will find it piss annoying after the 10th time, would be better if slow-motion only appeared when you got a critical-hit.

[QUOTE=mysteryman]Preservation Chambers, during the demo video, the guy goes in and there is a light that flashes saying "wait for radiation to clear"[/QUOTE] Ahaha, can I have the link for the video? I'm not quite sure which one you mean... [QUOTE=chunkymonkey]World War 11? When did that happen?[/QUOTE] It was after World War 10.

I don't mind vats as it is, but it should be at normal speed unless you get a critical, which would make it seem extra special.

Goddamn. I accidently picked the German in [url]http://www.prepareforthefuture.com[/url], and it can't turn it back to English...

Anyone know how to get Fallout to run in windowed mode? I just get a black screen when I launch it.

[QUOTE=Jzzb]You don't have to use it. You can just fire normally instead.[/QUOTE] He means that slow motion effect for every shot. I'd prefer it if the effects of VATS played out in real time instead of slowing down everything but the player.

I don't care if bethesda doesn't include cars to begin with, so long as they get modded in with a good driving system. (Imagines me driving an old looking car with my power armor in the back seat, and Dogmeat sticking his head out the window.)

God damnit... It gives me a black screen if I try to launch Fallout (I can still the clicking sounds and stuff) and if I launch the Fallout 2 installer it comes up with a blue screen. :(

I've been playing Fallout 2 for a few days. It's awesome. Made me want 3 even more.
