Thread: Fallout 3 impressions

Pre-purchased on Steam, but couldn't wait another 2 days so got myself an evaluation copy in the meantime.

I just played through the vault 101 section of the game and I've quit it to eat dinner in absolute awe.

More comments to come as I play through, but I may shelve the game until I get my new laptop (in a few days hopefully), so I can play it in all of its glory.

Anyone else played it yet? Thoughts?

i have gotten to the first town and im walking around exploring things there.. so far i like.. i missed out on a few hours sleep last night.. expect more to come tho w00t

Fiend, buy the retail and support this game.

I'm about 5 hours in and havent passed Megaton yet, im spending the time to explore and do as many side quests as I can.. before I blow Megaton up.

I'm a bit dubious as to what I should do with the Family. It will be a hard slog at lvl 5 to kill them all.

My character's tagged skills are Medicine, Small Guns and Repair. I'm trying for my old Sniper character again.

It pays off to be a scavenger and check all containers, you find some really valuable things.

Was about to buy this on steam but I think $70US comes out more expensive than the retail box ATM.

$70 US? It's only charged at $50 US here in the UK, so I went right ahead and got it.

Yep its the austraila tax.

Good game, for those who are interested to have a look at the game before you buy, I'll be hosting a live stream tomorrow night about 6pm - 7:30pm on Xfire.

Had a trial run tonight and got a couple of people from Japan & Germany into the chat room.

Biggest ****ing headache to install, the thing will get so far then stop installing and hang. I eject DVD and terminate app only to discover it ****s something with the DVDROM and wont read anythin after. I've restarted and tried to re-install 3 times, this is fkn bs.

ya, I'm also getting an error where if I have the Fallout3 disc in the DVD drive and boot up the PC when booting windows, it will hang on a black screen until I take the disc out of the drive.

Weird.

Honestly, it's easier to pirate this than be nice and go legit.
