You need to download this Veoh thing (and register too I guess), and then you can download it by this program.

I have no problem accessing it.Ausdoerrt said:It seems that the video was removed from VEOH as well.
You should try to upload it to rapidshare or megaupload. Also, try Megavideo.
Youtube is really full of sh*t. This whole thing is a fcking conspiracy. I suggest you write to their support to ask why the video was removed.
Oh, certainly: At what Charakter Level do you need to trash the charakter or change the difficulty setting, when fighting enemies of the same level? I assume that the enemies later are getting harder, especially when they get ranged weapons.cratchety ol joe said:vid plays fine as of time [this post].. sorry it took so long to get online! but yeah as was said this is a rather large nail in the coffin.
for further info, while making this my laptop was laggy as nuts as well, so here's the run down of things I 'overcame' to kill those 3 raiders;
1: game on hard mode.
2: no weapon other than my fists.
3: vault armour (which lets face it is shite)
4: laggin compy due to running FO3 and FRAPS.
as for number of stimpacks about 20 in total if I recall... I'd say that's a pretty big burn on FO3.
Any other requests? (i.e. things that 'might' be achievable in the game not just "yeah do the whole game naked and only fists")

At some point I ran into a bunch of Faded Wrath thingies that were immune to my glass sword of prettiness, I reached for my trusty staff of pretty, but deadly lightnings, and discovered that I forgot to recharge, thus establishing the parallel between me and my fictional character (I usually forget to charge my cell phone).

My Sword skill was about 80, my Blunt skill was about 20. I prepared to die bravely, but since the developers knew that that would have made me upset and lowered my self-esteem, they made sure that even with no skill I'm still a formidable opponent. The Wrath thingies had to face my, well, wrath and were wiped out without any damage to my precious self-esteem. Yay!
Yes. And people are surprised why some so heavily denny that Oblivion (or in this case Fallout 3) are RPGs. Or even if any very bad ones.Kashrlyyk said:Sorry, too late to edit my last post. But the issue showed in the video in this thread reminded me of this:

Commiered said:The whole point of RPG character development is to develop the skills of the damn character so that he gets BETTER at things. It's hard to accurately simulate percentage hits and misses and critical failures etc. in an FPS way, but if you can't do it then don't try and make a damn FPS RPG!

Idiotfool said:Out of curiosity, I tried this concept, myself.
I think I'm around level 4 or so. I believe my stats are: 1 Str, 9 Pe, 1 End, 10 Ch, 8? Int, 5 Agi, 5 Luck. The perks I've chosen have been the three tiers of the perk that gives a boost to xp earned. Tag skills were Barter, Speech, and Repair. I've put pretty much all my points into barter and speech. I've named my character Gimpetta, as that's what she is.
I plan on skipping all of the bobbleheads and, although I may collect books, I won't read them. Too many skill points might overcome my character's stat weaknesses. I'm also going to try to play an insanely evil character since they're usually more difficult to play.
So far, I've escaped the vault, disarmed the bomb in megaton after convincing the mayor to pay me extra and I've just about killed everything in the Super Duper mart with a baseball bat and the bottlecap mine I found. I think I've used around 6 stimpacks the whole time. I did drink from fountains more than a few times while escaping the vault, though. I've died twice to stupid tactics, but I still wouldn't call this game very hard.
I'm not sure if I could record this with Fraps, as my computer is pretty old. I'll give it a shot, later, though.
I'm testing to see how much RPG retardation FPS player skill can overcome. So far, the verdict is "quite a fucking lot". I'm still undecided if I'll use ranged weapons or not. I probably will, but I'll hold off and only use them when melee is out of the question.
Should I get a companion or no?
All I could think was "wait a second, who is Jonas?"ScottXeno said:Amata said Jonas had been my friend, and then she told me he was beaten to death. All I could think was, "damn, and I missed it?"
cratchety ol joe said:...
20% of 9% would be 2% (and that's if I round up)so, in previous fallouts my character would only have landed 1 hit out of every 50 attempts as opposed to the VATS maths (90%) which means my character hit 9 times out of 10. This, in comparison is 45 times more likely-hood of hitting!
To sum up, no... the stats in FO3 mean feck all, my next 'test' i'll use console commands to set all stats to 1 and see how things go with what should be an impossible character.
failout said:When I went to the bar and non-chalantly asked about the ghoul bartender, it was implied that my character knows all about ghouls (somehow), but when I actually talked to the guy I had options like "OMG WTF ARE YOU?!" as if my character suddenly knew nothing about ghouls. And then, if you act friendly, he thinks you're Jesus Christ because everyone else is a big meanie towards him, or so he says. If the townfolk hate ghouls so much, why the fuck do they have one as a bartender? And riddle me this Batman: why is it that Burke can murder the sheriff in plain sight of several witnesses without provoking even the slightest reaction from anyone, yet when I steal a plate everyone tries to kill me on the spot? What the fuck? Is the game controlled by some kind of dream logic?

If you get Jericho (which is pisseasy) their is even less to fear. Nothing I'd say. At your current setup a deathclaw might be able to kill you, but thats about it. Every other enemy should pose no threat to you. And with Jericho even a Deathclaw is no threat. So no if you want to hold on to whatever difficulty their is.
Personally I don't see the point of a low stats char, because their is barely any quest that can't be solved by violence. And violence is very easy even with a non combat character. So whats the point? Proving that F3 is worthless?
I'd spent my time on something else.
