These screens were AWESOME !!!!!!!

Yes those are lovely screens Winter Wolf. Good lord FO4 is colorful & awesome looking.

Newsflash: Cho Zenwahn destroyed President John Henry Eden. I don't want to post spoilers but man was that awesome to blow that sucker up! ... And now Fawkes is following Cho around, until he gets back to the Citadel. Which is fun all by itself. Fawkes makes a good companion.

Fawkes is my favorite companion from Fallout(s). Such a likeable mutie! Oh and IIRC it's actually a she, at least that's what Fawkes hints at in some dialogue.

Running, gunning, collecting, almost dying... Ho-hum, business as usual.



I just wish something fun happened after you activated enough parking meters!


Edit:

Cho blew him up?? Won´t someone think of the patriotic music??

Thanks Renee! And mALX, of course.

Fawkes is a hard get for my characters. By the time I meet him my karma is looonnng gone...

I think I have only achieved him once on 8 characters.

*SPOILERS*

Fawkes is awesome, definitely a powerhouse, but the problem with him is he doesn't get along with people. Cho took him into a house in Arefu and the guy went commando on them. This sort of thing can NOT happen in Megaton, omg that would suck. Cho also protected Grandma Sparkle.

John Henry Eden disappears from the game after Ravenrock is destroyed, and this means no more radio channel. Honestly, I like the music on that channel. I like hearing patriotic music within the context of the game.


This is how a feel about ham radios. Just once I'd like to find one that connects to somebody out there!

Cho Zenwahn has now met up with the Lyons Pride, and they're about to hopefully go kick a lot of ass. They're all going to the water purifier place.

I liked hearing both radio stations as well; it was nice to have a choice; and I missed it when it was gone too.

Both these other things are Awesome ideas! random responses to activating meters or ham radios would make a nice side game of testing them to see what would happen! Really cool ideas!

Thanks for the screens, they were Awesome!

mALX: you mean to say there's never a moment when ham radios work? It's okay, because pretty soon I'll be on PC, where there's no doubt some mods for these radios. Why? Because me and Cho

B34T D@ G4M3!

earlier today. Well sort of. Cho got killed, but he died honorably. The end of the game is pretty intense, but wow, it really is an end! I'm not doing Broken Steel with Cho, well, not on Xbox anyways. Maybe I'll port his game over to PC eventually.

Congrats on beating the game! All Your Base Are Belong To Us!

Isn't Liberty Prime awesome? He is my all time favorite American Robot.

The PC may allow altering the game to suit you; but I'm so glad you got to experience the game on the 360 first; because there is NOTHING that compares to playing Fallout 3 on the 360 - most especially the implosion of RavenRock and following Liberty Prime across that bridge and down to Project Purity; with the controller jumping in your hand and vibrating!


NOTHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha ha ha hey, I never thought of it that way, mALX.

Yes, Liberty Prime is amazing, Florens. I can't wait to see what his stats look like in the GECK, or whatever the Fallout3 version of the Construction Set is called.

Congratulations, Renee! I wish I'd try Fallout 3 when Broken Steel wasn't released - since I didn't have any idea about what it does when I was playing FO3 for the first time, the game automatically continued after the ending sequence in the Jefferson Memorial. Only later I read online that without BS your character dies.

In other news, Ben Stevens never made it to New Vegas. After helping the caravan against the Legion attack, his status with the Legion became "vilified" and a distance north of Novac, as he and Niner were headed for Boulder City, they were attacked by four high-leveled Legion assassins. Niner went down immediately and Ben was on his own against four well-armed legionnaires in powerful armor. He was heavily overwhelmed and the fight was over in a few seconds.

Aww, may Six and Nine rest in peace.

Good night sweet prince.

Oh, no, not Ben....

I am still working on the theory that Ben was set up by Niner. The Legion assassins made sure that he was not able to double cross them later. Don't ask me why. Just a hunch.

Perhaps the road north through Deathclaw country might have been better.

Please him back as synth and just keep playing.

The first time I played it following Liberty Prime across that bridge, the controller was jumping so much in my hand that it almost jumped out of my hand several times; I was jumping up and down and screaming with excitement; trying to get my husband and son to come in there and see what was happening on the screen, and in my hand.

To this day I have NEVER experienced anything like that moment in any game EVER! The only thing that ever came close was the implosion of Raven Rock - same thing happened, but to a lesser degree; and then of course darn Bethesda has Fawkes ruin the moment by immediately running up right then to force-talk to you and making you miss almost all of it.

On the computer, I was able to push Fawkes back to the gate and have him wait there and force greet me after it was all over; but it wasn't the same at all on the PC because half the thrill of that moment is in the controller going crazy in your hands making you feel every explosion; every helicopter blowing up like you are right there in person.

Fallout 3 was the MOST EPIC game I EVER played in my life = on the 360. On the PC, the same game is a great game, but no where near how epic it was on the 360.

SubRosa has suggested using the 360 controller on the PC game, I have the attachment somewhere; just have to find it. THAT would make Fallout 3 on the PC the ultimate and most epic game EVAH !!!!

There are other games I love more than FO3 (like ESO); but there has been no game before or after that could match it for epicness; but only when playing with that 360 controller; otherwise it is all just visual effects; which are great (but just not the same spectacular moment).

I can relate to what you say, mALX. I too would rate Fallout 3 as my favorite game that I played on 360. For me nothing will compare to that screen that gives you your first glimpse of the wasteland from the lookout. Oblivion was certainly cool when you left the sewer, but Fallout takes it for me.

In that one single moment I realized that the Bethesda Fallout world had been achieved. I didn't need to explore or anything, I could have just shut down the 360 after walking back inside vault 101 and still been happy. New Vegas had waaay too many bugs at release for me to feel anything special about it. I never grew to love that game until all the DLC had been finished and then I could could finally sit down and appreciate it.

The controller does work great on PC, I would always hook up my old wired one and just keep on playing the modded version of Fallout 3 on PC. Nothing would compare to that first Liberty Prime moment though....

Just a shame there is no video of you going crazy jumping up and down.

Oh yeah, when the light blinds you because there is no ozone to protect your eyes from the UV and it burns your eyes so badly!

Didn't the little book that came with the game warn you to wear protective glasses or darkened sun glasses because of that? I remember reading that somewhere; and when that light first hits you as you emerge from the vault, I was worried the game was going to blind my character if I didn't wear them and quickly stuck on Jonas's glasses that I took after he died!

Glad to hear the controller works just as good on the PC; I will most def have to find that attachment; or may have to get a new controller with the attachment since we seem to have lost a lot of stuff in the move.

You are so right; the first time following Liberty Prime across that bridge on the 360 = nothing could ever compare to that moment!

BWAAHAA! A vid of me going bonkers, now what would be so different about that?


My son won't let me watch him play video games because I get too excited and irritate him by jumping up and screaming like a banshee when exciting stuff happens on it, (and point out loot containers he missed).

1 Red

Red thought that nothing worse could happen to her than being abducted by Super Mutants and kept behind tightly locked bars in a small, damp cell in what used to be a police station before the war. Occasionally she heard her captors talking of carrying her and her friend Shorty, another abductee, to some place in the west, but she had no idea when was that about to happen.

Red hoped for some unknown hero to come and kill Super Mutants, save her from the uncertain fate and safely bring her back to Big Town. And He came...but he was far from any hero. That was when Red realized that what he had done to her, was much worse than her treatment by Super Mutants. After being abused, beaten, and humiliated, he put an explosive collar around her neck, tightening it so much that her neck veins bulged, and even something as simple as swallowing was causing her immense pain.

"Off to Paradise Falls with you, chick," he said while checking the collar. In his dark brown eyes Red could see that the slaver took pleasure in his business and she thought that she'd never seen anyone with such an evil look. "No lefts and no rights but straight to Paradise Falls. Understood? Claro? Else your head goes BOOM!" With his dirty hand he violently lifted her from the ground and forcefully shoved her against the opposite wall. "Go now! Run, baby, run! And tell them Rattler's sending you."

She lingered, her thoughts shifting to her friend Shorty..."maybe Shorty will come and save me in the last moment...maybe the bad man hasn't found him yet and he somehow managed to free himself..."

But then, as if Rattler'd read her thoughts, he grinned and said:"Thinking about your friend from the basement? I wouldn't count on him if I were you...Shorty, that's his name, right? I mean was. I think he was still too long. I shortened him some more. Shortened him for his head."

She couldn't get Rattler's final words and his grinning teeth out of her mind as she was running to Paradise Falls, scared that her head might explode if she didn't get there in time. But she did. And now she was a slave, like so many others, sharing her space in what her captors called "the meat pen" together with other "collared-ones".

But any fate is better than being a slave. On the third day of her captivity, Red intentionally began fiddling with her collar. She had no idea what she was doing but she knew that messing with it will sooner or later cause an explosion. Tears were running down her face as her fingers were trying to loose the collar's grip around her neck, and after about a minute or so, slavers heard a loud explosion from the meat pen.

Red was saved.
