Oh yeah, I also picked up the Survival Edition and it's totally boss.

I've already started playing it a little bit, and so far it's Fallout from the first person perspective; you can go over-the-shoulder if you want, but that's for nancy-boys and console gamers.

I'll put up some picks of the swag later.

That looks sooooooo awesome. I can't wait till I can play mine

Hey all,

I am having trouble comprehending something in this game. So... it seems like the main weapons are guns... but ammo seems to be in *very* short supply. If you buy up all a vendor's ammo, they're out... for good. So it seems to me like the main weapons of this game have a finite amount of ammo that can be obtained...and is a "rare" drop...... and you better believe your enemy has guns.

So what gives?

It's to be expected that they've got the gear you fear. Also, you're in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. There aren't any factories pumping out mass quantities of anything, including ammo. Basically, you're in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Everything is in short supply. If you want something, chances are very high that you'll have to kill someone to get it. Did I mention that you're in a post-apocalyptic wasteland? No? Well, then...

How's the food in a post-apocalyptic world anyway? Grilled or extra radioactive?

And something about sudden replacement of destroyed limbs.

Silver accidentally got Fallout3 for 360 (I'm not sure what platform he was initially buying it for...) so he's still playing it anyway!

You need to get comfortable with first-person pseudo-turn-based combat via V.A.T.S.. Also, you're very low level at this point. Sneaking around and fighting dirty is the order of the day.

Boingo_Buzzard Wrote:Another question.... (if this is in the instruction manual, I apologize... I rarely if ever read them)...... are the mobs leveled like they were in Oblivion? Or is this like Morrowind where you can get to a place you really shouldn't be until you level up quite a bit? I ask because I received the Super-Duper Mart quest at level 3 and walked in there and get my a** handed to me. Just wondering if anything should be do-able at level 3, or if some stuff I will have to do later on.

I just finished the Super-Duper Mart quest at level 3 and wiped the floor with those raider wusses. Sure I took a little damage, but the stimpaks I scavanged from their base as I walked over their bloody carcasses more than covered it.

I suppose combat in Fallout 3 would be a whole lot easier to grasp if you had played the previous games in the Fallout franchise. It's akin to a pen and paper game of AD&D - is it just D&D now? - in which you're always looking around and asking questions and trying to adapt to the situation.

Without giving you any specific hints, my advice to you is to realize that in the game you're almost as fragile as you would be in real life, so you need to develop tactics that will enable you to survive combat. Running around anywhere without always being alert to possible danger is a sure way to get yourself wasted.

Use everything at your disposal. This may mean making use of something you find in your environment. Always keep your eyes open and be ready to make connections between things you find and situations you need to deal with.

I hit "Add This Message" by accident before I had started writing my response.

D'oh!

Sure, my pleasure.

One more thing: How you play the game, how you use items, what perks you choose, and how you distribute your skill points are inextricably linked.

Getting the hang of knowing what to use in which situations and how things work with the skills you develop can make your life a lot easier.

I'm feeling like crap and didn't read everyones post, but I'm curious... Is this an FPS or an RTS?

... and does this mean that Interplay is back?
... and if so, will they make Descent 4?

It was cancelled by Interplay and finally picked up and done by Bethesda Softworks (Who did Oblivion, which is why I keep comparing it to Oblivion)where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online
