+Mystic MVC Posted November 26, 2008 MVC Share Posted November 26, 2008 Ok I understand. I've played the game for around 36hrs but it's funny that there are a couple things I didn't get, but I felt the game had a bit of a learning curve because there isn't really any in game tutorial going on. I went into that game completely uneducated which I like doing because it makes the experience more genuine, but sometimes it takes longer to get it down. I didn't use AP for like 5 or 6 hours into the game, I don't ever recall them telling you about it at all. I hear you. I felt the same way when I first played Oblivion. A friend of mine wanted to try the game which I thought would be great but it seems that the learning curve left him hit or miss in some areas of the game so far.

curme Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I thought it was too short! I did all of the side quests, and it still didn't last half as long as Oblivion. Maybe that is not a fair comparison, but since it is Oblivion with a Fallout 3 skin, comparisons are going to be made. And the closed ending, where you can't go back and explore, really sucks. I'm one of those people who can't play a game again after I have beat it. It's was a great game, don't get me wrong. I just wish the game had more to it. At least it proved that people will actually buy pc games instead of stealing them for a change.

Plenty of locations to visit still though :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/678644-official-fallout-3-dlc-for-360pc-released/page/21/#findComment-590196294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix XII Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Oh cool, pretty much the same as me, I've completed around 15 quests I think, but there's still plenty more to do.

Not sure how much longer it'll last, but I think I'll go back and do some more side quests and exploring. Question for anyone:How do I get power armor training?? I'm lvl 12 right now.

+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted November 29, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted November 29, 2008 Yea to find the brotherhood of Steel, you need to complete one of the main quests. The one dealing with the radio station.

neoadorable Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 managed to get done everything i set out to do in the game, so now i declare it finished for me. overall a great time, a few design issues i'd like a word with Bethesda over, but no biggie ;) Fawkes is one of the bestest NPC's ever, i love the guy, and he proved very effective. after we finished the last quest i decided to undertake, i escorted him to the museum where apparently he wants to study, took one more look at the Wash Mem, Capitol, Linc Mem etc, saved and that was it. Actually quite touching, but i may just be getting overly sentimental in my older years.

+Mystic MVC Posted December 1, 2008 MVC Share Posted December 1, 2008 Haven't been able to play in over a week. I really want to finish it but I feel like if I do, I will be leaving so much undone. I know there aren't as many side quests as Oblivion, I just keep expecting there to be more left to do.

neoadorable Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 just set goals for yourself - otherwise there's too much to do in this one, and much of it is pretty repetitive or samey. you'll know when you had enough. for me the achievements are great mostly because they structure the game better and help you set those goals, so you can feel you got your fill of the game.

Matrix XII Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Oh ok, I've been doing lots of side quests lately, I do have the waters of life, I'll complete that next. Where exactly do I get the training though, or does it just come up in the story?

Where exactly do I get the training though, or does it just come up in the story? Just keep going. Eventually, while you're on some errands in the Jefferson Memorial, the Enclave will arrive. You will then have to lead some scientists to escape, and you'll take a tunnel that leads you directly to the BoS Citadel, where you can get training for Power Armor.

Matrix XII Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Well I got power armor training finally, I notice you run a bit slower with that kind of armor on, which makes sense. I picked up some Tesla Armor which has energy weapons +10, making my energy weapons skill at 95 now when I use mentats :D Good thing I have a laboratory at my house, I get addicted to something like every time I play the game haha Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/678644-official-fallout-3-dlc-for-360pc-released/page/21/#findComment-590215804 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted December 3, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted December 3, 2008 Yea I have been running around with old Eclave Power Metal, I need to find some new stuff.

Matrix XII Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 One complaint I have with Fallout 3, I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I think your armor and weapons conditions go down way too fast. I take it there's no way to stop that other than not to get damaged? lol Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/678644-official-fallout-3-dlc-for-360pc-released/page/21/#findComment-590216858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted December 3, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted December 3, 2008 Yea basically everything I have and used is like a quarter full of health, damaged most of it.

Matrix XII Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 My repair skill is only about 50 right now, I definitely got to upgrade that more next time I level. I kind of forgot to add more points to repair, I think it's extremely important.
