    [REL] Advanced Power Armor

    this mod needs some youtube action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9cRLu5BAUE&hd=1 I didn't make this video, just found it thought I should post it.

    Huge caches of meds/gold?

    my next character I'm making I'm going to make him have really low luck, like 0. I find ammo/health way too much. On top of that there are often water sources you can use to heal yourself, I'd rather go through the game relying on finding those more. My last character I was pretty good at...

    so... anyone try the DLC yet?

    yeah but since it is based in washington, settlers are surrounded by Americana, it is sort of natural that the tone and feel would lean to that patriotism after generations of people growing up with signs of America around every corner. The other games' settings were far detached from america's...

    People dead for no reason....

    yeah people have been saying a few npcs in megaton have died, apparently it's because there's a high up spot without a ledge in their path that some of them will end up walking off of, plummeting to their deaths.

    Dogmeat was better as a snack than as an ally.

    I completely agree about ai paths, I'm on 360 and here's a couple of my experiences: Dogmeat got stuck behind some rocks and couldn't get out at all, I was going to leave him there and hope he spawned away or something, but him being stuck was causing the game to stutter every 5 seconds, it...

    Spoiler. "Wondering about missiles"

    Yeah I read in her computer terminal entrees, she said there was targeting activation codes at nearby sat stations that she needed but she would never be able to reach them. I had the explorer perk so I knew where they were, I found a code at the one east of the ghoul's tower but I couldn't...

    REAL FO3 System Requirements?

    seriously? an 8400 is a lower range gpu, and it's a mobile version so it's even less powerful than the desktop 8400. I wouldn't expect better than 1024x768. And there's a reason they call it minimum requirements, because you'll be playing at minimum settings at minimum resolution.

    Fallout 3 Washington compared to real Washington.

    Of course it's not modeled on reality, it's an alternate reality, that stems from the 1950's and when DC gets bombed it's 70 years later than now.

    Am I missing something, or is combat really this awful?

    Yeah I'm liking the combat, it's a bit tricky, and a bit tactical . ie hit a super mutant from range with the hunting rifle while sneaking to get max damage. Shoot a couple more times with VATS long range, hope to hit and take cover. While covered switch to the combat shotgun and wait for...

    What is the effect of weapon skills?

    Well at lower levels in the earlier parts of the game(where I am so far) most of the guns you find aren't in the best condition and can only be repaired to a certain percentage. I still haven't found a firearm that can go above 75% condition, most of the one's I have right now are 50% or less...

    Out of energy ammo + I have to fight Super Mutants

    I remember finding some in the super duper mart if you haven't hit that up yet.

    Fallout 3 is actually decent

    I would argue that VATS is definitely not an I-win button, I've been playing since noon and have probably done as much as the previewers did so far. VATS will not guarantee you will win a fight with an enemy, especially fire ants. There's a mission that involves them and you constantly have to...

    Do we know yet what kind of video card will FO3 need?

    I'd go for a 8800gt for around $115 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133232
