The Rebel Faction

Yeah. I'm sure they already have people working on potential ideas for the next installment - unless they're leaving it as a trilogy (which I doubt). Factions would be nice, as well as more running room and 'continued play'.

Maybe even co-op for two people, both running around and taking down super mutants and such?

Also, back onto Fallout 3, has anyone managed to get the dog as a pet? Is it part of the story, or does it happen during your explorations as an 'unlock' of sorts?

Yeah, no spoilers please guys. I want to be surprised.

I am really enjoying this game. And I agree about the roaches. Those flittering wings, or the fire-ants shuffle or the damned scorpions....freak me the heck out when I have the lights turned out and the sound turned up.

I did not like the VATS targeting at first but I got used to it and it saved my bacon a few times.


I helped out the Vance character and solved the fire ant problem of another town. There is still a ton of stuff to explore on the map (I haven't even gone into DC yet as I am taking my time doing all these side missions to get cool gear). I am playing a do-gooder and someone hired some mercs to take my head for 1000 bottle caps.

I've been using a power station as an HQ to store misc junk (if I need to zip there, pickup some crap, and zip back to Megaton to sell it for quick cash) but every time I zip over there these mercs come out of hiding and try to jump me and killing them is where I get my better weapons and armor. Love the Rancor monster-thingy (Deathclaw?) that comes out and draws their attention away from me.

I've been carrying around a broken sniper rifle and shotgun in the hopes of being able to fix them at some point but so far I haven't been able too. Hoping higher repair numbers may do the trick.


I love the laser pistol that turns everything into nice, neat ash piles. I so dislike leaving rotting carcasses all over the place.

Haven't gotten any helpers yet but I do not think I am that far along. I've only been playing for about 23 hours, I believe.


If you liked Oblivion, you will definitely like this game. In fact, I liked this game more than Oblivion but that's because I felt Oblivion got a little too monotonous. Going through Oblivion gate after Oblivion gate got old for me but I have not finished that game and will still pick it up every now and then. But a Post Apocalyptic world is more my style.


I will admit to a certain curiosity if Fallout would have some "Mass Effect" action going on with the females and I came close to finding out in Big Town with a girl named 'Buttercup' who was sweet on my heroic stature. Unfortunately, in defending that town against an impending Super Mutant Attack, she died before I could kill all of them. Alas.

*whimpers*

Though I was able to recover the saves, the fact my save near the end was over four hundred mbs, made it dubious that it'd work, and I was right, it's so large that it was corrupted during recovery so... none of the saves except those below fifty mbs work and all those were before just a few hours into the game.

And I was JUST about to complete the game to.... I STILL can't help but wonder if the bug I ran into had something to do with it for it was to much of a coincidence..

I did the minefield last night but just "jumped" back to Megaton to give the lady the mine. Then jumped back to a metro station and walked to Paradise Falls where they wouldn't let me in. I contemplated just shooting up the place but was not sure if killing a town (even a slaver town) would give me bad karma. So I ignored it and just walked north running into an enclave of five or six super mutants. After dispatching them, I went farther north and ran into a Radar Tower or something (set of three satellite dishes pointed up) which is where I stopped.

I may go back to destroy Paradise Falls if I can. I mean, if I am going to be hunted by headhunting mercs, I might as well make it worth their while and drive the price on my head up a bit.


Kalshion, that really hurts. I feel your pain.
