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

[QUOTE=SomeGuest]Yes, it's weird sometimes because there's Raiders that wear metal bra's but when you steal their armor it turns into a tshirt.[/QUOTE] Metal bra?

Damn, I'd love to make a suit of armor out of metal bra's. :dance:

[QUOTE=Useful Dave]Metal bra?[/QUOTE] Image a woman wearing 2 noodle strainers for body armor. [img]http://www.chinawholesalegift.com/pic/Handicraft-Artworks/Basketry/Round-Strainer-Basket-17051081474.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Kwal]Oh, and that reminds me, if you kill a women wearing a skirt/dress, and you open up the inventory for her, will the skirt/dress magically turn into a pair of pants (if you're a male) like it did in Oblivion?[/QUOTE] yeah that was really dumb, sad to hear it's in F3 [b]Edit:[/b] it's not like i'd make my guy wear the dresses and stuff, but it really adds more immersion.

someguest said that it's in a few posts up

Also, are you guys going to play some FALLOUT RP on facepunch like in the STALKER:CLEAR SKY forum?

Probably not, the factions aren't as dominant as they are in Clear Sky.

[QUOTE=SomeGuest]Yes, it's weird sometimes because there's Raiders that wear metal bra's but when you steal their armor it turns into a tshirt.[/QUOTE] Fuuuck. I mean, it's not that big of a deal, but it was always a pet-peeve of mine. Also, I gotta start making character bios :bees:

Are there like shitloads of side missions?

[QUOTE=booster]Are there like shitloads of side missions?[/QUOTE] should be, there was in Oblivion

Lol Question : Oblivion and OF are the same developers? too lazy to google.

Oblivion and Fallout is made by Bethesda, yes same, but I have no idea what is OF

[QUOTE=WhoStoleBike]Lol Question : Oblivion and OF are the same developers? too lazy to google.[/QUOTE] Fallout 1 and 2 were made by Black Isle, but they got shut down by Interplay. Bethesda (who made The Elder Scrolls series) bought the rights to the Fallout series and made F3. In short: yes.

Weeeeeee...i didn't played Oblivion series cause it BSoD'd my laptop :(

There is no "Oblivion series". Oblivion was the 4th game in The Elder Scrolls series. :science:

[QUOTE=Fadeaway]Tried it (found plenty of energy cells and a couple of laser pistols in the Super Duper Mart). It's the best of both worlds from Big and Small Guns: high power combined with low weight. Still, Small Guns is the best of the ranged weaponry skills to tag: Big Guns are either expensive or require you to set about the nigh on impossible task of taking them from the cold, dead hands of particularly powerful enemies. The same can be said for Energy Weapons. .[/QUOTE] so I guess it's not a good skill to tag

They seem to be very powerful weapons anyway.

So what do the other skills do in this one? I could never figure out what skills like Science and Outdoorsman did in Fallout 2.

[QUOTE=NotYou3]So what do the other skills do in this one? I could never figure out what skills like Science and Outdoorsman did in Fallout 2.[/QUOTE] Science in f2 was for use of computers. Outdoorsman in f2 was for special encounters and the like. In case it hasn't already been posted, the skills for f3 and their descriptions: * Barter: Affects Buying and Selling * Big Guns: Determines combat effectiveness with oversized weapons * Energy Weapons: Determines combat effectiveness with plasma weapons * Explosives: Determines power of mines/ effectiveness of grenades/ ease of disarming hostile mines * Medicine: Determines how many HP you can heal with one stimpack * Repair: How well weapons and apparel are maintained and increases starting condition of custom-made weapons * Science: Affects computer hacking skills * Small Guns: Determines combat effectiveness for smaller weapons * Sneak: It's easier to remain undetected, steal or pick someone's pockets; increases critical chance when attacking undetected with this skill * Speech: Governs how you can influence someone during dialogue and gain access to info * Unarmed: Determines Unarmed damage * Lockpick: Used to open locked doors and containers * Melee Weapons: Determines melee damage My guess is that tagging small guns, repair and science will still create a good balenced char in f3 like it did in the first two.

So, dear pirates - anyone actually played as an evil character?

Science was used for your character's abilities with things like computer terminals and other technological feats (e.g. giving the SkyNet robot companion a brain, the quality of which depends on your Science skill). Outdoorsman improved your chances of finding random encounters and your travel speed in the world map, not to mention where you start in relation to the enemy and who goes first once a fight in any random encounter begins.

Is there a thief skill again?

[QUOTE=toxicpiano]Is there a thief skill again?[/QUOTE] Steal and Sneak have been merged.

I want to plant the detonator, get to the top of the Tenpenny Tower, shove Burke off, shoot Tenpenny in his face and then jog down to fetch Burke's hat.

Van Buren wasn't completed though. So listing it doesn't matter much.

Question: If someone has a really cool helmet, but you 'asplode their head, then your pretty much busted?

[QUOTE=PhoenixRSA]Question: If someone has a really cool helmet, but you 'asplode their head, then your pretty much busted?[/QUOTE] Still be in their inventory, in the same way you'll still get the whole of some armour if you blow someone up.
