Char Ell Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Very nice. I like to sneak and followers don't seem to be real good at it, forcing firefights when I could avoid them if I was on my own. Hence I'm not so big on followers. Out of curiosity what kind of weapons do you equip Star Paladin Cross with? I'm not sure how long it's going to take me to complete this game. I've got over 150 hours invested thus far in my first play through and still haven't made it to Tenpenney Towers though I do know where the towers are at least. I think I hit the level cap around the 120 hours mark. This being my first Bethesda game I didn't know what to expect but it's incredible to me, the sheer amount of content and scale in this game. As an explorer type who likes to experience all the content a game can offer this game suits me quite well.
JediAthos Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Cross has a ton of stuff...that I think she mostly picked up on her own...but her weapon of choice is a super sledge so she can get in my line of fire sometimes, but I'd rather have her with me than not. I think in her inventory right now she's got a minigun, combat shotgun, laser pistol, laser rifle, and a few other things that I don't remember. I love the exploration part too...I made sure to hit all the DC momuments like the White House, Capitol Building and Lincoln Memorial. I've done the Tenpenny Tower quest and I've been working my way through the other sidequests. They just released the first DLC for the Xbox 360 but I don't have it yet, and there's more to come that I can't wait to see.
Char Ell Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 So anybody played the new Fallout 3 DLC, Operation Anchorage? I just read an article over on bit-tech where the reviewer wasn't able to get Games for Windows Live working well enough to download to his PC and thus couldn't do his review. It should be needless to say that the article does not cast GfW in a favorable light and so I was wondering if anybody else had tried this out. I don't plan on getting any DLC until I finish my first playthrough, whenever that happens.
Nedak Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 On my second playthrough. Probably my 4th favorite RPG, behind KOTOR I-II, and Oblivion. Probably tied with Mass Effect for me.
JediAthos Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I finished the Operation Anchorage DLC earlier today. I thought it was pretty cool, plus you get some very nice items after you finish it. Though I will say that I'm playing the game on my Xbox 360 and not PC so I can't speak to the functionality of GfW.
Cygnus Q'ol Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Is OA worth the money/points? Absolutely. It's a nice break from decapitating super-mutants. Nice list. I put KotOR II behind Oblivion and Mass Effect though. KotOR rules all.
JediAthos Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 I'd say it's absolutely worth it. The T-51b winterized power armor and Gauss Rifle alone make it worth it especially since the armor doesn't seem to take any durability loss...at least on the 360 anyway. Plus it is a nice little break from the super mutants and talon company mercs and what not. I think they've done a fabulous job with this game despite any complaints that it's "too much like Oblivion."
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 There's a bug that makes the winterized armor in the cache the version from the simulation, which has like 10 million HP.
JediAthos Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 I'm not concerned here...Bethesda is probably just making final tweaks and implementing bug fixes and what not. I'm still excited for both of them.
Char Ell Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Yeah, not a problem for me either and I appreciate Bethesda's efforts for a quality gameplaying experience. Besides, I still haven't finished my first run through this game.
JediAthos Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I finished mine a couple of days ago and started on a second because I know I missed a ton of stuff the first time.
Tysyacha Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Is it true that you can play a female character in this game?
JediAthos Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 So anyone who's played through The Pitt...what are your impressions of the DLC? I thought it was too short personally...but it was a nice addition for the sake of the lore and a couple of nice weapons as well. I'm really looking forward to Broken Steel and the level cap increase that it will bring.
Tysyacha Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Can you customize your female character like you do FemShepard in Mass Effect?
mimartin Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 The female PC can be customized; basically to the same extent you can the Female PC in Oblivion (without the elf, orc, ect options).
Char Ell Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Broken Steel DLC coming May 5 - Kotaku Some of the features Broken Steel will have are: - level cap increased to 30 - 4-5 hours of new gameplay - new perks, one of which will be an ability to revive Dogmeat and another called Nerves of Steel which will increase your action points. - new and tougher Enclave, Mutant, and Ghoul enemies - some new areas and updates to existing areas Sounds like the main quest will be to help the Brotherhood of Steel fight the Enclave.
JediAthos Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Yup...I'm looking forward to Broken Steel Char Ell. Have been ever since they announced it along with the other two DLC's. I just hope it's not as buggy as The Pitt was.
ChAiNz.2da Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 - new perks, one of which will be an ability to revive Dogmeat Sold. I'm buying it as soon as I can. Doesn't take too much to convince me, as I'm having a blast playing FO3 and it's DLC's ... but that perk alone I'd pay top dollar for I swear I'm such a wuss when it comes to Dogmeat. If there's any a "hint" of the situation being too tough.. I'll send him away. "Broken steel doesn't have an ending," he said. "There are no more endings, we got the message." Glad they listened.
mimartin Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 I swear I'm such a wuss when it comes to Dogmeat. If there's any a "hint" of the situation being too tough.. I'll send him away.I'm even worse, Dogmeat is a house dog with me.
