mALX: I always play good characters. While I don't mind murdering the occasional s.o.b. who has it coming - like Dr. Lesko or Anna Holt - I just cannot bring myself to do the really heinous stuff you need to in order to get bad karma, like blowing up megaton or enslaving people.
I love the FO3 ending too. Liberty Prime is just fantastic. He is the classic Golden Age Sci Fi robot, so cool to look at. Those eyebeams of his make a really cool sound, and the whole idea of a giant robot throwing nuclear bombs is just so insane that it works! Watching him tear up the DC ruins is just tons of fun.
King Coin: A lot of people seemed to complain about Martin being the hero in Oblivion and the player character feeling like a sidekick. So I think they had the player be the one to make the ultimate sacrifice in FO3. Of course that makes the rest of the game kind of hard to play after finishing the main quest...
But they fixed that with Broken Steel of course. It seems kind of silly to die in the Purifier when you have Fawkes right there, immune to radiation like all super mutants are. But that is Bethesda for you.
Thomas Kaira: So that is why the MQ is so quick? It does go by rather quick. Although it still does seem longer than the MQ of Fallout 1 (which I just got a few days ago). I am not surprised. Publishers always seem to rush devs to release games before their time. Like with KOTOR 2. None of them seem to realize that the better your product, the more of it you will sell.
Next, something rather different. I started a new FO3 character, and plan to do the Pitt with her soon. But for the moment she is still in the Capital Wasteland, scouting for food and chems. Yep, that's right, The Super Duper Mart! She ran into a trio of Talon Company scuzzballs outside, which accounts for her armor. I missed the first minute or so in the mart, then started the camera rolling after I hacked the robot's computer terminal.
