soniqstylz Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 K, finally got this the other day, been playing it, only gotten as far as the radio station. So I don't have to go back through 60+ pages, toss out your best advice for certain areas and skills/perks. I plan on playing through 3 times to get good/neutral/evil karma.

+Mystic MVC Posted January 13, 2009 MVC Share Posted January 13, 2009 What difficulty did everybody play on? I don't know, I guess I thought this game wasn't that hard on normal. Playing Oblivion prepared gave me a base foundation for this type of game which helped out in the beginning. Other than selling everything I picked up and buying stimpacks wasn't much I ever used (in ways of drugs). Not sure what weapons you guys are using, but if they are adquetly repaired, not sure why you would need drugs. For example, the Lincoln repeater downs Super Mutants in one or two hits every time, same for that special plasma blaster/rifle. I don't know, I'll be probably get a lot of flak for the above, but if anybody wants comments/suggestions, I'll be glad to help out. I really enjoyed this game and I want to make sure others get the right help. Just make sure you do a lot of side missions to level up and everything else won't seem to hard! My advice for your three main skills; lockpick, small guns, and repair (always repair everything if possible). I focus a lot less of computers/tech because almost anything that has a computer somewhere, will have a locked door/safe that you can more easily lock pick.

Matrix XII Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 K, finally got this the other day, been playing it, only gotten as far as the radio station. So I don't have to go back through 60+ pages, toss out your best advice for certain areas and skills/perks. I plan on playing through 3 times to get good/neutral/evil karma. Lockpick, repair, energy weapons, and medicine is what I focused on. Small guns are good, but their use goes down drastically in the 2nd half of the game, at least for me they did. I prefer energy weapons to small guns because the ammo drops much more frequently so then you don't have to buy ammo and when you get a critical hit on an enemy it will goo or ash them depending on what weapon you are using. I played Fallout 3 so much and I upgraded small guns up to around 65 then when I got to around lvl 11 or 12 I just would use the points on energy weapons as far as offensive skills go. Upgrading medicine is also very beneficial because you can heal yourself much quicker obviously, but by the end of the game each stimpak would heal me around +134 hp, that's insane as your full hp bar is just over 400. The open ended play of Fallout 3 is amazing though because you can choose completely different skills and go about the game in a different way than someone else does. I'm kind of itching to restart it now haha Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/678644-official-fallout-3-dlc-for-360pc-released/page/38/#findComment-590418514 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matrix XII Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Yeah, they are the toughest opponents in the game, by far. It's just the long distance they can jump which makes it tough.

idioot Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I'm pretty sure it's gonna just add some new locations to the map and stuff like that.

scratch42069 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) I just realized that the 1.1.0.35 patch came out yesterday lol. For those of you who have the PC version and need a new mod to spice up the game a bit, try my item description mod. It adds a text description next to the pipboy item images. http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2896 Edited January 15, 2009 by scratch42069 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/678644-official-fallout-3-dlc-for-360pc-released/page/38/#findComment-590425242 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted January 15, 2009 Veteran Share Posted January 15, 2009 I assume you'd be able to repair it if you have 2 of them.
