Fallout 3

[Jaziek]

ah.. found out it isnt live, my install is just broken. I need to do a reinstall I think.

[SPMc]

Quite liking this came all though im not to sure on the open endness of it... maybe i like linerar stuff working towards a set goal, hmm ill figure it out when i finish.

 

 

 

Speaking of finishing, what level were you guys when you finished?

 

 

 

I keep running out of money to =p

[Vansing]

The first time i finished at level 12 or 13, but that was because i mainly just done the main story. Im level 18 on my new character and this time i decided to be good and not kill everyone i see :lol:

[Caxis]

I've played around 8 hours so far, and I still need to go to the Galaxy News radio station :lol:. I'm only level 5 right now, and I'm just exploring. I need to get some better weapons though, the Mutants are scary and I can't get through the city part. Another problem is that I keep running out of ammo, so I can't finish some of the quests I'm doing...

[Bloodredsword]

So does anyone know how many total NPC's can join your party?

 

 

 

 

 

I know of 4.

 

 

 

[hide=Small Spoilers]Dogmeat, Faw kes(Wtf....why was it censored?), Butch(Once you finish the Trouble on the Homefront quest) and the slave from Paradise City that you can buy off the lead guy.[/hide]

I believe there are 8, but I'm not sure who they are though..

[Bloodredsword]

Did some searching.....so here's all of the known companions as of now(Dogmeat isn't in it)

 

 

 

[hide=Spoilers once again...]Jericho

 

 

 

Karma: Evil

 

Location: Megaton (zone 8.03)

 

Requirement: Talk him into resuming his previous career as a warmonger. You

 

must give him 1,000 Caps to recruit him.

 

Summary: The very high cost to get him might make him not a good choice for a

 

companion; he's alright in battle, just not 1,000 Caps good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clover

 

 

 

Karma: Evil

 

Location: Paradise Falls (zone 2.0

 

Requirement: Speak to Eulogy Jones and he'll offer to sell Clover to you.

 

Summary: She is an absolute maniac in battle and will rip your enemies to

 

shreds. Get her ASAP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Butch

 

 

 

Karma: Neutral

 

Location: Rivet City (zone 9.15)

 

Requirement: Assuming that you didn't go through with your urge to kill him in

 

Vault 101, you'll find him during the Miscellaneous Quest:

 

Trouble On The Homefront. Make sure he's alive, the Overseer is

 

not in power (either stepped down or dead), and you've sabotaged

 

the Vault, go to the Muddy Rudder bar in Rivet City and convince

 

him (shouldn't be hard at all) to join you.

 

Summary: He's alright in battle; basically more of a "nostalgic" feel to fight

 

with as he's the one you grew up with.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sergeant RL-3

 

 

 

Karma: Neutral

 

Location: Wasteland near RobCo Factory (near zone 7.10)

 

Requirement: There's a traveling robot salesman named Mister Tinker (or Tinker

 

Joe) that's roaming the Wastelands near the RobCo Factory that

 

you can buy him from.

 

Summary: He's pretty good in combat and will take a lot of damage so you won't

 

have to. Also, he's very accurate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fawkes

 

 

 

Karma: Good

 

Location: Vault 87 (zone 4.06)

 

Requirement: He won't join you immediately, but after you visit Vault 87,

 

he'll be waiting for you.

 

Summary: Very, very good in battle. He'll take out enemies quickly and you

 

can have fun sitting back and watching him have his "fun."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Star Paladin Cross

 

 

 

Karma: Good

 

Location: The Citadel (zone 9.11)

 

Requirement: Speak to her and she'll agree to accompany you on a detachment

 

mission as long as you keep your Good Karma.

 

Summary: She's alright, a good fighter, but since you have Good Karma, it'd

 

be better to have Fawkes as your follower.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Charon

 

 

 

Karma: Any

 

Location: Museum of History: Underworld (zone 17.07B)

 

Requirement: This is a Freeform Quest: Hired Help. Go to the Ninth Circle, and

 

Ahzrukhal will be there with his bodyguard Charon. You can do one

 

of two things to get his contract. First, you can buy his

 

contract for 2,000 Caps (1,000 if you're skilled in Bartering).

 

Second, you can agree to kill one of Ahzrukhal's rivals named

 

Greta, who is located in Carol's place.

 

Summary: Definitely a great get. He's an all-around killing machine that is

 

very good at killing your enemies. Plus he looks awesome.[/hide]

[Necromagus]

I'm still toughing it out without a companion. I've reached a point in the game where super mutants suddenly all have weapons in top condition, and I regularly end up selling off a stack of >70% assault rifles.

[Orpheus]

Meh, I made a long-legged, pissed off Puerto Rican named Punchy. He deals justice with his bare hands :D

 

 

 

Anyone else decide to turn in Mister Burke to Sheriff Lucas inside Megaton? I did and [hide=]As the sheriff was leading Mister Burke to jail, Burke pulls out a silenced 10mm, and he forgot I had a sawnoff out, so I blew his head off before he could kill Lucas[/hide]

I never liked using companions. In Fallout 2 I just got Sulik for a bit so he could carry some of my stuff, and help out in a few quests.

 

 

 

Anyway, I've done the GNR quest, and now I need to make my way to Rivet City. I also got the scrounger perk, so ammo shouldn't be that big of a problem anymore.

[Bloodredsword]

[hide=Big Fat Spoilers]So I'm almost done with the campaign...I just got to the part where I talk to President Eden. But president eden.......WHAT. WHATWHATWHATWHATWHAT?! ROBOT?! WTF?! I totally wasn't expecting that :D[/hide]

[Necromagus]

Yeah, that was a cool twist. I've finished the game, but gone back to a save where I wasn't railroaded yet so that I can get to level 20 first.

[Caxis]

I finally got some Power Armor, and the ability to wear it.. But it sucks :cry:...

[Necromagus]

Don't forget that power armour needs to be repaired just like everything else. There's a few suits hidden in the game that are found in a good state of repair, but the stuff that you loot off dead bodies usually isn't too good.

[Vansing]

Theres special power armour aswell. I've had 1 set that gives you Med-X when you get hurt, and another that weighs less that normal power armour but is stronger.

[Caxis]

Does it still take away from agility? The power armor is supposed to turn you into a tank... Unless the power armor they use in FO3 is an older line of power armors, the ones that bog you down :?...

 

 

 

Or Bethesda just screwed power armor up :lol:.

[Necromagus]

Most types of power armor give +2 strength and -2 agility.

 

 

 

I've reached level 20 on my first character, and I'm pretty much unstoppable thanks to the right combination of perks: Commando, Finesse, Sniper, Concentrated Fire, Action Girl and Grim Reaper's Sprint. Commando gives an accuracy boost to all two-handed weapons (rifles, combat shotgun,etc.); Finesse gives +5 Luck for the purpose of checking for critical hits, Sniper gives an accuracy bonus to head shots in VATS; concentrated fire gives +5% accuracy for each time you target a body part after the first; Action Girl gives 25 extra AP and Grim Reaper's Sprint completely refills AP after getting a kill in VATS. These perks, combined with a hockey mask that gives another 25 AP, maxed Small Guns and Energy Weapons skills and the unique laser rifle mean that pretty much anything that has a head and isn't a behemoth gets killed from half a mile away.

[Bloodredsword]

I found a glitch unlimited XP.

 

 

 

 

 

[hide=]Sandman Perk(requires 60 sneak) use on a sleeping child(save beforehand) Most children can't be killed, so when you sandman kill a child, he/she doesn't die, and you get 60xp a time.[/hide]

[Necromagus]

[hide=]Wow, here I was thinking that the Sandman perk was one of the most useless in the game. I guess it still only works for evil characters though... does it penalize your karma?[/hide]

[evil_mumm_ra]

i think i've played this for like, almost 50 hours. still haven't done anything after finding and talking to doctor li. gotten a bunch of bobble heads, and done a bunch of sidequests/exploring, and am currently level 18. i was the same way with oblivion too, held the main quest off till the very end.

[Bloodredsword]

[hide=]Wow, here I was thinking that the Sandman perk was one of the most useless in the game. I guess it still only works for evil characters though... does it penalize your karma?[/hide]

 

 

 

 

 

Nope. Not for me anyway.

[Necromagus]

First funny Ctrl-Alt-Del in months:

 

 

 

[dragoonson]

^Well,that saved me few thousands of bucks in flying to America,buying a shotgun,some shells,finding participates,and flying back.

 

 

 

Also,I now know Fallout 3 lies.

 

 

 

Overall,this comic is informative :thumbup:

[Lenticular_J]

I played this at a friend's house.

 

 

 

It's fun. I want it as well as EndWar and Left 4 Dead.

 

 

 

But I think I'll just rent this tomorrow.

 

 

 

[hide=](It took forever to beat the [cabbage] out of Butch when I was sixteen)[/hide]

[SPMc]

Well then you should of got the baseball bat from some place.

 

 

 

Then proceed to beat the crap out of him.

 

 

 

 

 

Bout half way though level 10 and [hide=]just met the Enclave at the water project thing.[/hide]
