Press T for time skip .

This game has got to be Game of the year for me. Well impressed! That's coming from a F1 & 2 vet.

Nice to see a Fallout veteran giving it a thumbs up for a change.

Has anyone else found any of the other Vaults yet? I've just found Vault 106, just about to go into the living quarter and oh gnoes, crash to desktop.

Edit: It's pretty creepy in here, made me jump at some points, won't go in to much detail cos that will ruin it.

been in all of them as I'm hunting for bobble heads.

Explorer perk reveals all locations on the map. very helpful

One of the parts of a quest I did put all the Vault locations on the map. Which was...

Hightlight: Go to the Vault-Tec headquarters, it's north of Rivet City in the main city area.. takes a couple of subway routes to get into it. When you're in there you can download all the Vault locations onto the minimap.

Is Fallout 3 worth getting if you like Deus Ex? I must admit I am interested in the fact you can play this in first person perspective as well.

I'm pretty sure that if you liked the original Deus Ex, you'll like this. And the game is designed to be first person. They included a third person perspective to satisfy the hardcore dice-throwing crowd.

Picked this up today, loving it so far, it's visually stunning

6,500 caps to get my house done out with workbench, coke machine, theme and other stuff :/ Took me 14 levels to get that! Also made a dart gun, which rocks

All i could think of playing through this game is " I haven't had this much fun on an action rpg since Deus Ex"

I'm getting a slowing down of my run speed, usually after the game has loaded another area outside. I think this is caused by the ifpsclamp=60 fix for the micro-stuttering. If you have this edited line in the config and the framerate falls below 60 ie: when it loads another area, you get a slowmo effect until you quit the game and restart.
This only applies if you have edited the line ifpsclamp=0 and changed it to 60. If you haven't edited it, then I'm not sure what your problem is.

Got it sorted. It was the weight limit

Done that & killed the merchant - got all caps back

Got me the shishkebab

Not very good near gas leaks

I too found the stealth boys and a power fist thingy

This is such a good game, can't stop talking to my mates at work about it. Keep trying to talk them into getting it.

Exactly my thoughts, Deus Ex might have had a much better story in my opinion but the character development in Fallout beats it hands down - the perks are awesome, the karma system is very effective and the world is fantastic. Severely disappointed at the ending though :/

Never played deus ex and I have watched too many vids of this. Must resist buying as I still have dead space, gta4, darkness, and others to complete on PS3, and crysis warhead, hl2 + episodes, and stalker to complete on PC. Gotta stop buying games and half playing them

I guess it runs well on a clocked C2d, 2gig, O'cd 8800gt ?

Dutch Guy · 4 Nov 2008 at 09:12

Played some more and I get the same feeling as I did with Oblivion, I already have 3 optional quests at Megaton, I can see myself clocking >100 hours on this game

The graphics aren't so great or could be better , same as with Oblivion really, it runs on Ultra, 1280*1024, 16xCSAA at ~40fps with most of the time higher on a 18 month old 8800GTS-640

XPE · 4 Nov 2008 at 10:41

Is this game like Oblivion where the enemy level up with you ?

Also love the 1st look you have when you leave the vault and you can see the Washington sky line

Fantastic game.

Running it at 1440x900 (19" monitor limit) on a 4870 512, full detail, no slow downs, but who cares about that, the game is fantastic whatever the gfx level.

Im at work now, but last night run into a "problem". Tried the armoury door "just because", and ended up with a full on firefight inside Megaton. Managed to get outside by the skin of my teeth! Now, im not at home, but im guessing I could skip time "T" or sleep somewhere, and after a few days, I could go back in without getting assaulted by everyone in Megaton?

"oops"
