What I learned playing Fallout 3

[jdh3000]

By playing Fallout 3, I learned:

 

- that a quick nap can heal a broken leg or a mutilated arm. In fact, I can be nearly dead but, a trip to slumber town for an hour will fix me right up.

 

- that I can carry up to 260 pounds of weapons, armor, and other junk in my pockets, and with the right perks, I can carry even more under certain conditions.

 

- that ammo doesn't have any weight to it at all, not even missiles!

 

- that children are invincible, until they turn 16.

 

- that although I have endless trouble with my computer, that in the future computers sitting out in the middle of nowhere will work just fine.

 

- that a shotgun or a 44 blast to a persons head two inches aways won't necessarily kill them.

 

- that I can take a lot me hits with bulltes, flame throwers, and missles than would seem possible.

 

- that some people will still talk kindly to me even after I've shot them, depending on their role in the game.

 

- that in the future no matter how fancy someone thinks their living enviornment is, they don't seem to mind dead bodies laying around on the floor.

 

- that people don't mind that you shot up their town as long as you leave and come back in a bit.

 

- that radio of the future will not have much variety, and you have to kill the dj to get him to shut up.

 

- that plastic surgeons do facelifts just for the fun of it.

 

- that some people just won't die, no matter how many times you shoot them.

 

- that all computers look the same.

 

- that most people sound the same.

 

- that no matter how tough I am, no matter how many giant mutants, raiders, and monsters of all sort that I kill, no matter how war beaten I am, that I must have a bed of some sort to sleep in; you won't catch me sleeping on the ground.

 

- that true companions, no matter what their requirements to follow you to begin with will not be swayed by your total change of behaviour. If you were an angel to begin with, they'll stick by you even when the urge to lay waste ever other sould in the land. Sure they may complain, but they are right by your side pumping bullets into those sad souls out there. They'll also carry anthing you hand them.

 

- that Fallout 3 is the best game ever!

DOnt forget the if you get punched in the face, shot, burned, or whatever, a little nibble nibble on a snack will actually restore your physical being!

 

One of two drinks of whiskey will get you all messed up with only one bottle. But I guess it makes sense I drank the whole bottle with one mighty gulp. But dont wory about loss of memory or impaired draing skills because its tells you right on the label strength and charisma + 1 and intelligence - 1

 

Im so glad I started my bottlecap colllection years ago, Ill be waaaay ahead of all you guys :)

 

The US goverments troops are gonna be trash in the future, I mean Sigma Squad must have been some real badasses. Well Eden should have trained his soldiers in a vault since his elite squad got shredded by a 19 year old guy in an antique stealth suit armed with a taxadermist claw trophy made into a weapon with a mdeical brace and super glue :)

 

Skulls are bulletproot :D yay! Itll take at least 1 or 1 and a half clips depending on how hard you make you life

 

Oh dont forgoet you can control how hard your life is, easy, very easy, normal, hard or very hard.

 

Be careful if you decide to use a Gauss Rifle to defend yourself, it might make your backpack with all your stuff disappear! But dont worry too much its not really gone, its just invisible :)

 

Some of us can only endure up to 1000 rads (even though anything over 9 rads a second should melt skin off, just fyi), people who worship bombs can just soak it up like a sponge!

 

Dont worry about collateral damage if your going to set off any nukes. It will only twist up anything within 50 ft of it. Anything beyond that will be just fine :)

 

Doesnt matter if its a BB, 556mm round, of even a super charged beam of light, they alll chop off body parts with ease

 

Eating Grape Mentats before going into a donversation will make everyone super friendly

 

 

Oh Fallout how me love thee

I got some giggle out of this post. :bunny:

I've also learned that no matter how involved I am in a battle, even if the enemy is standing over me showering my body with bullets, I still can make time to repair damaged weapons, change weapons, take some medicine, eat a snack, have a snort, or even change my clothes. If the weapon I'm using doesn't seem to be doing the trick, my enemy affords me the luxury of choosing one that will.

It makes the world which has been reduced to cinders just a little nicer. :yes:

-Being a lolicon is unfortunately not an option.

 

-You can magically stop time and see the probability of hitting any body part except for the eyes, groin, and joints.

 

-Food and drinks don't expire.

 

-The US of A is the catcher's glove of Chinese nukes.

 

-Europeans and non-Chinese Asians do not exist in the U.S.

 

-You can pickpocket someone from over 10 feet away.

 

-Taking armor that contains bare chest off will magically have a layer of a shirt and underpants underneath.

 

-Nuka Cola has no competitors. At all.

 

-Nuking a town of less than friendly people is a no-no, while blowing an old man's head off makes you a saint.

 

-Firearms stay in perfect working condition, even after 200 years of lying around in the open.

 

-You can travel miles in 5 seconds.

 

-Staying cooped up in an enclosed space with an oppressive overseer takes a surprisingly long time before people snap.

[GETbacon]

not to touch, drink, or swim with water that is green and that the government is going to be way more evil then it is now.

[abcabcabc123]

-That in the future, mutants are going to ALL. SOUND. THE SAME.

 

-You rate everything with stats, instead of relative comparison.

 

-Bottled pop is still carbonated after 200 years.

 

-Any kind of meat is edible. Even human.

 

-You can make PIE from human meat.

 

-That some people can just assume you're good or evil after seeing you for two seconds.

 

-That radio stations have music and music quality of the 1950's, even though the world was 'fine' until 2077.

 

-That they still use knobs, instead of convenient buttons.

 

-That there are only 10 different voices in the game.

 

-That when you're old, your voice will be the same as every other old guy.

 

-Feral ghouls are insane, but still have the decency to cover their crotch.

 

-That the Vault Dweller is a master of taking bullets and dealing damage, despite being in the Wasteland for ( an average of ) 100 days before the game ends.

 

-That Vault Overseers will be angry at YOU because your DAD left the Vault.

 

-That you never get laid.

 

-That despite all your awesome sneakiness, it never occurred to you ONCE that you can lie down and go prone.

 

I'm on a roll. =D

[jdh3000]

And don't forget, when you reduce your enemy to a pile of ashes or a puddle of goo, their clothes, armor and weapons will still come out in usable condition, amazing!

 

Crazy feral gouls may not be real socialable and have no need to go to the store to trade, but they almost all seem to be toting some curency around, lucky for me!

 

Every lock that can be picked looks the same, from a gate to a safe. But no matter how much of a master lock picker one is, some locks require a key.

 

All computers have a pretty easy hacking system, granted some easier than others.

 

Clones named Gary will telegraph their attack by saying "Gary".

 

Folks don't mind you walking in their home whenever you please.

 

You can rob, kill, and commit endless acts of terror; but fear not, you reputation can be salvaged by either donating money to a kook that worship a bomb or loading up a thirsty bum with some fresh water.

 

You can pick up certain items, other items you cannot.

 

You cannot use a wrench or hammer as a weapon to hit someone with, it's the code of the wasteland, even the mutants honor it.

There are some things in there that don't work.

 

-You can travel miles in 5 seconds.

Not exactly, look at the time before you fast travel, then travel somewhere far away and quite a lot of time goes by.

There are a few mods that can fix this :wink:

Well just think about it, how hard can it be to make a radioactive drink, in a radioactive world.

[ZeonicGlory]

I meant the travel thing in a sort of relative sense. And I do happen to be using Type 3, just pointing out how crazy it is in vanilla FO3.
