gsmanners Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 When I first started, I couldn't find my way around Rivet City or Megaton. Then, I finally noticed all the signs. :wallbash: Who hasn't taken cover behind a car, thinking nothing bad would happen, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilneko Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I swiped a Chinese AR from The Family's guard as I was leaving. It was just laying there on a table, and the guard was nowhere to be seen. I figured I could get away with it. He came out of nowhere and chased me, eventually dying to a trap I had missed. I accidentally pissed off Roy Philips in dialog, and he and his ghouls attacked me. I hadn't actually meant to slaughter the ghouls. It was self-defense, Three Dog, I SWEAR! I took skill-boosting perks. I screwed up on the fire ant/doctor Lesko quest, ended up killing both Lesko and the Queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterCrowley Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Hm. First time around I killed everyone, even the traders, then realized I was pretty bored. Oh, and it took me the longest time to figure out I could buy other weapons. Also, doing Moira's quests without question. Boy, did I realize that was a mistake.

doomboy536 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 It took me ages to work out you could disarm landmines. First time I went to Minefield, I tried to use the cars for cover. BIG mistake. The first time I encountered fire ants, I wasn't scared at all. 'I bet they're just like the fire ants from Fallout 2', I said to my friend, 'and they'll be no trouble at all.' 10mm pistol at the ready, I strode up to one....and got burned.

ElijahHouck Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Also, doing Moira's quests without question. Boy, did I realize that was a mistake.I still do the Survival Guide (without lying to her)- I kinda like it :blink: .My biggest mistakes would be-1) Not knowing you could swim. Seriously. I spent like 2 hours on the way to Rivet City trying to find a way around the Potomac before I fell in the river, and just swimming to Rivet City.2) Doing the entire MQ. Instead of skipping Moriarty, Rivet City, and heading to Project Purity, I should've just went straight to Vault 87.3) Playing as an evil character. Not worth it.4) Letting Dogmeat die.
