[Multiplatform] Fallout 3 - Guns with Oblivion

Bioshock was just given an M, and shooting evil little children is a fairly integral part of the game. Keep your hopes up.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

This isn't a problem at all. None of the chems in F1 or F2 were the real deal.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh, a chainsaw. Sweet.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Seriously? Seriously?

I'm playing the PS3 version, and I haven't so much as glanced at the manual once. Christ on a bike, it even offers you an explanation of how it works the first time you start it up.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Shite. They look almost exactly like ruined/destroyed/other dummy book objects.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Aye, I hear you. I'm on level sixteen, and for the past few level-ups we've put all the available skill points into energy weapons after resorting to nothing but big guns most of the game. Pretty sure we went about ten levels straight using the Chinese Assault Rifle before we got to Raven Rock a few days ago and suddenly discovered Plasma Rifles.

Anyway, I like to think of a first character as something of a dry run in open-ended RPGs like this. It's already decided that we're going to play an asshole woman who specialises in unarmed. Gonna re-roll as soon as we finish the main quest.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'm playing on the PS3. The whole difficulty-scaling malarkey isn't anything I've come across yet. At least, not on the same level that Oblivion had it...

Oh, and for people playing on PC: the child-killing-and-looting mod came out recently.

FELIPE NO

I think the gun-from-the-sky thing is actually a random event.

Spoiler:

You can get the alien blaster from the UFO crash site, and then ammo has a chance of falling from the sky every now and then.

Fucking nice weapon, though. 70ish base damage if I remember...

How ya doing, buddy?

Which puts me and the other two people out there who bought it on the tripple in a right mire. I don't know; I find it incredibly unlikely that the DLC won't make it to the PS3. I wager we'll get a big GOTY bundle late next year at the very least.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Anchorage wasn't great. Pitt was certainly more interesting, but not really worth the points I dropped on it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Bah. I traded the PS3 version in for the 360 version in anticipation of Anchorage. Ah well.

I'm sure the NMA cocksuckers are going to be pissed as all hell at the prospect of an alien-themed expansion. How dare they include something as unrealistic as extraterrestrial life in a game set in a retro-futuristic post-apocalyptic setting rife with completely feasible creatures like angry green mutants, giant talking lizards and immortal nuclear zombies with trees growing out of their skulls? Bethesda have turned a franchise about a plausible, isometric, turn-based future into a preposterous flight of fancy.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It'll probably wind up being as retarded as it is entertaining.

Personally, I'm still hoping for a DLC involving the Commonwealth. That institute of high technology you hear about from the doctor who's lost his android sounds pretty spiffy and perfect for exploration.

To hell with that. I'm hoping that they bring out the whole commonwealth/MIT area as a huge content pack similar to Shivering Isles. They'd be bonkers to not release a proper expansion somewhere down the line...

Billions of bags of broken black dicks.

Well, hopefully that Vegas spinoff will fill the gaping hole.
