Really? To me, I had a good laugh because the way they preached and how fanatical they were about such an unorthodox ideology reminded me of Scientology. I think Bethesda was having some fun with pop culture references and I appreciated the fact that even the sign in Megaton referred to the...

I used 'we' just to be tactful to the people who are fanatical about ES:O and think Fallout 3 is the Godfather of RPGs. Truly, I hold much disdain for the whole Elder Scrolls series altogether. I'm glad at least someone shares my sentiments. And yes, Bethesda managed to totally fuck up...

Abso-fucking-lutely. Mind you, we're not griping about the fact that it's in FPS. We're disillusioned that Fallout 3 has very little Fallouty flavour about it and the fact that it has a more striking resemblance to ES:O (Elder Scrolls: Oblivion) than the Fallout franchise itself. As much as we...

I have friends who've acquired it for PS3 and 360. After playing through both a couple of times, I can safely say that the PC version trumps everything else. It has a higher level of immersion and less bugs. Better GFX obviously. The 360 version has a nagging bug which causes the game to...

The irritating part is that [spoiler:95e399262d]you can't defend Lucas Simms even if you wanted to. I killed Burke before he managed to whack Simms but then, Simms continues walking as if nothing happened so I don't get the house nor the key from Simms' son. Eventually I just disarmed the bomb...

I'm pretty sure I got a heap of Energy Cells in [spoiler:a70200d414]Falls Church Metro, Arlington Memorial and the surrounding buildings by destroying Protectron robots inside them.[/spoiler:a70200d414]

Of course, just leave him alone even when he starts calling for help. You can [spoiler:07ca82d193]hack his terminal and open his safe[/spoiler:07ca82d193] to open the door leading to the Vault entrance without laying a finger on him. Besides, I'm pretty sure Amata would probably kill herself if...

After extensive experimenting with trial and error, I found that the as with Oblivion and what you've pointed out, three things affect your movement speed - the weapon you've equipped whether holstered or not, the type of armour on you and your Agility attribute. I can see no discernible...

Excellent dude. I'm sure we'll be able to find even more bugs, however minute they may be.

There is no one attribute which governs everything else. It depends entirely on your style of gameplay which I believe is unique to every gamer. Some love a good ol' brawl or gunfight while others prefer to be more covert and inconspicuous. A few others may even shun unnecessary...

Let's just say that Fallout 3 belongs to the same rung of the ladder as STALKER: Clear Sky or Spore. Yes, it's entertaining and definitely a great game but it's not keeping me up all night. The fact that I can even tear myself away from the PC and voluntarily stop playing it (which wasn't the...

Same here. I really don't see how my SPECIAL attributes really affect anything and other than Bloody Mess, Perks don't really make a dent either. Skills? Other than e.g. being unable to open safes etc. with low Lockpicking or lesser health while healing with low Medicine etc., there's no...

After carefully reviewing this thread and analyzing the different opinions and arguments, I decided to resist stating my own before proper contemplation. Having said that, I believe this article I came across should speak for itself. It's an interview with Bethesda's VP for Marketing &...

I see where you're coming from and I agree but however close to realism it may be, there is not fathomable reason why I don't see cars exploding occasionally when I am not within the vicinity. The cars only seem to violently explode when you're near them which makes it feel horribly scripted...
