Things we learned from Fallout 3

514. The Enclaves master plan involves kidnapping an old man from megaton who listens to their radio broadcasts.

515. The old man dosen't remember being kidnapped, and still loves the enclave afterwards.

All they wanted was for some hero to stick his neck out to save them. Sure some would have died but that's how it is when you fight for your own freedom but they didn't even try and because of that I figure they deserve to be slaves because of their own fear and weakness(guess that makes me evil eh beth).

In the end I had more respect for Werner until the end(least he actually tried to accomplish something).

As for the others man I think Paul Denton from deus ex hit the mark the best.

Totally agree with that. Except Werner, he looked like he could do anything but he did not care the least. Revolutionary leaders are not like that as I recall.

Werner looked like Snake Plissken anyway. I knew he was a guy you could only kill with a nuke. When I met him in the end and talked him out of attacking he was like "fuck you all I'm leaving". Disappointment.

Nah man to me Werner never cared about freeing anybody as you find out he used to work for ashur. He only wanted to take the reigns for himself but hey I couldn't blame him as I wouldn't give two stones about those slaves either.
 
516.

When you hear quick pitter-pattering on the ground...RUN.

517.

Kids are invincible. So where are Maggie and Harden?

518.

*looks at fork*

"Don't even think about it, it's locked."
 
519 - I am glad that Fallout 2 came before the internet was big, so it was not nitpicked to death.


520 - Due to belief in law and order, the DC wasteland was not properly looted for years.

521 - one of the major settlements (Rivet City) is within stone-throwing distance of a freaking Super-mutant settlement, and Rivet city isn't a Broken Hills integrated community.

522 - Maryland, while being awesome, shows that inbreeding leads to tough as nails critters. Thus Chuck Norris is afraid to go in the West Virginia Wasteland.
 
524. Mines will at best hurt you a little and make you limp.
 
In the future, mines have a IFF system is not unheard of.

Also mines generally won't flat out kill you. Horrifically maim you, shred your legs to meat and otherwise ruin your life, sure, but it's more fun to create WIA's than KIAs.

though, an IFF system usually involves some kind of tag that identifies you as a friend, not just dropping the MOTION MINE and it knowing off the bat that you're the one who put it there.
 
526. A completely untrained 19 year old from a vault is a better fighter than Chuck Norris, Saladin, Superman, and Uncle Yusef combined

He's never afraid. He just has more important errands to kill.

Heh. Which ones? The majority of the ones i've read are good points, roughly half of them have me laughing out loud due to my brain saying "I KNOW RIGHT?!?! I NOTICED THAT PLAYING TOO AND IT'S CRAZY!"

For what it's worth, regardless of what you read, lots of people really do love Fallout 3. I'm a hardcore supporter of Black Isle and Interplay, and I very much dislike Bethesda as a company, but I also play Fallout 3 and it's a really good game. Even though they dropped the ball on some things and pulled a lot of bullshit on other things, it's still a very fun game to play. I would say Fallout 3 is "very good" whereas the reviews tend to call it "Great", some even say "best game ever" which is fucking stupid. So yeah, people are dumb for deifying and/or fan-hating Fallout 3, but objectively it's still a good game.

Ghoulification is the only side affect of being exposed to radiation. And even then, it's rare.

There are tons of ghouls. Also other radiation side effects include stat drops and death.

Dad doesn't really care if you detonated a nuclear bomb in the centre of a small town killing all of the townsfolk

Dad comments on your actions sometime around when you're first at Project Purity.

Fire doesn't hurt you.

Not ambient enviroment fire, sure, but flamethrowers are pretty deadly.

I got killed underwater by a Super Mutant with a minigun on my recent playthrough, a couple of weeks ago.


- Just a few examples.

It was a bug then, because bullets don't penetrate water in the games.

They do, however, penetrate your mom. OHHHHHHHhhh!
