I think the starts pathetic, i got to where you go to sit the exam and i had to quit, i just couldn't take anymore of it, i thought i was playing a kiddies game like one of those Harry Potter jobs, was just dragging on and on all that rubbish. :(

When i left Jonas to head for the classroom and seen butch etc... hastling that lass (forget her name now) i was expecting a rendition of Grease lightning to start playing. :D

The enemies levels don't scale in Fallout 3, it has been said in reviews that different areas have different level monsters but the game doesn't let you know when you are entering a zone that has monsters that are much more powerful than you are at a lower level. Therefore it's a trial and error of discovering these high level areas for yourself. Or so I read in numerous reviews.

They do scale, as said:

According to various previews/reviews they do scale but only once, as soon as you enter an area the enemy levels in that area are locked. If you find it too hard, go away and come back later at a higher level they will still be the lower level you left them at. Personally I think this is a great comprimise.

Its a intro really its letting you pick ** attributes and stuff and get used to controls etc also call it a tutorial of sorts. I actually liked this. After the exam it gets a lot better and each stage of the tutorial is very brief only few mins long each. Believve me Loads keep at it as its almost over after the exams.

Thats good to hear, i may give it another go later on then, cheers. :)

Anybody think of Home Improvement when he started narrating WAR...... sounds like Tim Allen. :D
 
The voice you should be hearing I believe will be that of Ron Perlman AKA Hellboy :D
 
Liam Neeson plays the father, the main character is Ron Perlman as far as I am aware

**EDIT**

The fella who says "war, war never changes"
 
I love saving so I don't mess up and just going on mad killing sprees I just killed everyone in megatron for a laugh even killed the donkey things
and the zombie that says "don't hit me" oh and the tramp outside begging for water

Ron Perlman (born 13 April 1950) has worked on all but one of the Fallout releases to date. He is a screen actor as well as voice actor, with much work in both disciplines.

Perlman narrated Fallout 1, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics. He also did the voice for Butch Harris in Fallout 1. He has been confirmed to resume narration duties for Fallout 3, and repeats the "War; War Never Changes." line from the previous two game in the teaser trailer for the third

Sounds great to me, I love that kind of thing in my RPGs rather than just rolling stats. Reminds me of the early Ultima games where you had to answer a fortune tellers questions to define your character :)
 
Cant wait to pick this up on friday, somehow though i think Gears 2 will overlap into my Fallout playtime and i dont want to rush this.
 
Normal, i've always viewed it as the difficulty that developers anticipate most players to use and therefore tune that difficulty to the best of their ability.

He's the dude from Hellboy

Also a pretty good Tom Waits look-a-like

what difficulty will everyone be playing on :)?

When I was younger I would only ever play on the hardest setting a game had :p

Today, I play on normal the first time.

The reason is I don't have to quickload/quicksave all the time. I find it more rewarding to play through on normal without saves (and feeling tense because the auto-save might be 10 mins old) than literally tapping qs/ql every 30 secs.

Kudos to anyone who plays on Hard without qs/ql of course...

How does the game run ? Very demanding ?

If you can run oblivion on max, you can run this on max.

Is anyone else less then impressed so far?

I'm experiencing everything that made oblivion a pile of crap.

Bad AI, bad pathing, really bad animation, reused vioce overs and bullets that fire out of your gun heading away from the place your aiming? like the bullets have a mind of there own when flying out of the straight tube?

With regards to the aiming, I was under the impression that having a high skill level in a particular class will allow you to be more accurate. Having a low skill level in a particular weapon will mean that bullets fly all over the place and not be accurate - sounds like a good idea tbh - having to train up in a particular specialism of weapon but still being able to use others but simply not to the same accuracy.
