I keep trying to complete the game but I keep getting sidetracked by side-quests. Must... complete... game...

Complete all the sidequests, then complete the game. Everyone wins then

Great game, but is it just me - or is the ending a BIG let down?

Thought the same.

Anyone else get operation Anchorage??

I can see a lot of folk not liking it cos it is linear, but tbh i think that is something i am enjoying about it

I downloaded it earlier but not had time to try it yet. Also trying to avoid posts about it

Yeah downloaded it earlier and thought it was excellent. Very linear as you say but just a bit disappointed with the length. I got about 2.5 hours out of it, so in my mind should have probably been about 400points.

Definitely worth the download for Fallout 3 addicts like myself. (Achievements are a nice easy 100 too if thats your thing

)

yeah, took me 3 hours to complete. it's, er, alright.

I haven't touched this since playing it on launch day

I'll be playing Anchorage tomorrow, hopefully it'll get me back into it.

For a brief moment there I thought you were referring to the entire game!

I'll finish the game before looking at the DLC, and at the moment I've only done about 25 hours so not even close

im only up to the part where you have to go to the memorial, and there is a load of scaffolding around it. haven't got any further than that because super mutant's p*** me off. i find them really hard to kill. :/

I downloaded Anchorage yesterday and to be honest, wasn't that impressed. It took around 2.5 hours to complete and i can't say that i stuggled during any point. In fact, compared with the rest of the game i would say it's almost too easy!

Too low a level? It would seem that enemies in places like that do vary on your level, so if you are a higher level you will face stronger enemies, but at the same time if you are a higher level you're likely to have some pretty powerful weapons at your disposal.

I don't want to spoil it too much, but early on you'll be offered a Megaton / 'atom' related quest (talk to the right people, pretty difficult to avoid) - I didn't complete it till fairly late in and missed out on a cool reward for a lot of the game - I'd suggest you finish it the nice way fairly early on for the very cool reward (available elsewhere if you don't complete it the nice way I think).

Mark1989 · 2 Feb 2009 at 20:39

I really like it im about 22hours in (had it since release though lol) and i have barely even touched any main story quests just been exploring and doing the side quests.

HTMLHugo · 2 Feb 2009 at 20:53

Explore, explore & explore. Oh also keep an eye out for the bobbleheads especially the one in vault 101

Ol!ver · 2 Feb 2009 at 21:38

I really need to get into this properly, not played it since I spent an hour or so on it at launch. Just need the time !

SiD the Turtle · 2 Feb 2009 at 23:53

Completed it. The ending was... disappointing, firing a grand total of three shots over the course of the whole quest.

Luckily, the rest of the game makes up for it. Fantastic, stunning game.

DeFrEaTs · 3 Feb 2009 at 15:08

Any idea how to view time played on the PS3 version of this? Bit scary to find out, but would be amusing to know how many tens / hundreds of hours of my life have been wasted on this great title.
