    Pic of the day

    I came to what I could swear was that EXACT SAME spot and wanted to take a screenshot of it.. but some nasty mole-rats jumped me.

    How Power Armour Should've Worked

    I'd like a mod that eliminates the ability to pick up armor off every single enemy you kill, as well as reducing the damage different armors take depending on the TYPE of armor. Eg, Power Armor only needing repair once every 4000 rounds.. etc.

    [MOD] Item descriptions

    These are simply fantastic.. within moments I really felt for a tiny moment like I was playing a Fallout game. Then I knocked the 'V' key and was thrown into VATS. Sigh. Anyway, I'd like to submit a few alterations (in parentheses). Mostly grammar or syntax related, but a few changes for...

    NMA: Capital Wasteland: Revelation review

    A very generous review, but more or less accurate.. at least in my mind. I'd rate this exactly the way alot of my work has been marked over the past few years: C+ Lacking structure with glaring faults, but room for improvement. I know it's been said so often it really should go without...

    Things that Fallout 3 does RIGHT

    Firstly. It was I who used the phrase Uniform Obliteration.. not Wooz. Secondly, at ground zero I should expect to see nothing but rubble and dirt! The blast would extend beyond ground zero and would affect buildings less and less as the explosion continued it's path of destruction. It all looks...

    Things that Fallout 3 does RIGHT

    The mod to make cars not explode will be the first one I install. :roll: You can go to the White House.. sort of. For fun I selected the Explorer Perk and lo-and-behold I saw amongst the wreckage of downtown D.C. the ruins of the White House. A very lacklustre dungeon accessed via a...

    Kotaku: Fallout 3 is broken

    In a truly unprecedented move by myself I take on the role of Devil's Advocate. 10-20 years ago it was very possible to create a game or a program and not have to release a plethora of cracks, patches and fixes mostly because there wasn't a whole lot of customisation. Perhaps an adventurous...

    ok, so how do we make FO3 more "falloutesque"

    I've been thinking about this for most of the 70 hours i've been playing FO3.. (actually, i'm now so bored with the game I can no longer continue.. NO replay value what-so-ever.) Things I would change: Remove all voice-acting except for vital/interesting talking heads (eg. Dad, Eden...

    Liberty Prime

    I think it would have been better if Liberty Prime hadn't worked at all. Or had malfunctioned and started attacking the BoS, or perhaps there could have been an interface where you could change the primary target of LP. What they had was fairly uninteresting and not worth the 5 minutes of...

    Motorcycles A Possible Addition?

    Bah, it's not like it really matters. I mean it's not like there's any time constraint to encourage game progression in a quick and timely manner. A bike over the rubble that is the Wasteland seems unlikely.. maybe a quad-bike though. On a vaguely annoying note: in Tenpenny Tower (or...

    Imagination - The cornerstone of Fallout's Universe.

    I like to be very definitive when it comes to my games. For example, if I want to play a FPS, i'll pull out Doom or Counter Strike. If I want to play a RTS game i'll pick up Red Alert or Warcraft. If I want to play an arcade game i'll forget about breathing because Tetris has a vice-like grip on...

    Batty, Batty Roy

    You're right, and I knew this.. I was trying to make a point and I got lost half way. Think it had something to do with Gynoids.. or sheep. I normally wouldn't give Bethesda as much credit as to think they took an idea from the source material instead of the movies that it spawned. Ah...

    Raven Rock

    I have to agree with BN on this one. I just finished the game.. however that that's saying much. (It only took 30 seconds to break the quest line and begin at Rivet City quests completely bypassing anything before it. I hear you can skip even more..) And not only do I feel entirely unsatisfied...

    Batty, Batty Roy

    I honestly thought this thread was going to be about Roy Batty, a character from Blade Runner. I suppose Harkness is good enough for those unable to discern the difference between 'android' and 'replicant'. When I saw Harkness I figured it'd be a Dr Who reference.. sigh. I'm sorely...

    Mike the Liar

    Well there's some incessently annoying characters like Moira, but I'm still waiting to find TES references. I saw the Raven Rock and Farragut references but nothing much so far besides them. If the story Sticky tells was in Floating Text it wouldn't be as nearly as annoying. Lame acting is...

    Spoiler. "Wondering about missiles"

    I was wondering about this too. I did exactly what thedarkhorse did and reverted to a previous savegame in case I could actually do something cool or memorable instead of playing at missiles like an idiot child. The ICBM is quest related. You have to fire it to get the goodies inside. It...

    *Sigh* Deathclaw armor?

    Nah, the Scientists cast a level 12 Charm Creature spell on them. The metal hats just make them feel pretty. :roll: After you finally encounter the Enclave in the main quest the Deathclaw encounters make a little more sense.. there are cages everywhere and everything. They probably just...

    Gripes about the writing

    This didn't happen to me, the only person he killed was Tenpenny.. this was probably because I convinced a couple of the others to leave on their own. Anyway. Yadda yaddaihatetheshortandboringdialoguechoicestoo ad nausium. What really got me was that I could GO BACK and try out the...

    Dark Humor and Bethesdas Take on It

    I've been playing Fallout 3 for about 35+ hours now (during exam period no less.. stupid, stupid!) and beleive it or not I *have* come across some Fallout-y moments. Now these moments are nothing but rehashes of moments within the previous games, but they were memorable none-the-less. In...

    Galaxy News Track Listing

    I have to say, the music is the only thing the game has going for it at the moment. Before I discovered Galaxy News Radio I was turning the game off every hour or so to do something else. But now I can force my way through the monotony! A big thumbs up for licensing rights eh? :roll:
