Fallout 3!

[Rand{CLR}]

The inventory is accessible through Pip Boy. There are three key buttons on the bottom, and one of them is for items.

I picked up a new perk that lets me recover health from blood bags (which makes me wonder how many unadvertised perks there are out there to be found), wiped out the Super Mutant base in Germantown, and generally had a blast today. About to go back in and finish my trek to Minefield.

A "Super Mutant base in Germantown" - That sounds somewhat funny to me...

Anyway, my order is in transit...

I have decided im no longer going to play Fallout 3 till I make a new computer. I was playing around the other night and started shooting up Megaton and with everyone running all over and shooting I could barely aim it was lagging to bad, and opening Vats took forever.

Guess its time to finally beat Fallout 1 and play a new game of Fallout 2 then Tactics to get my Fallout fix till my new computer.

What are you running it on? I'm running everything on high with some AA on 1280x1024 and its smooth. I did allow the system to select draw distances and only tweaked them a bit so far, so everything there isn't maxed, but it still looks purty when I get somewhere. I may actually increase some draw distances, because I noticed building draw-in for the first time last night.

My system's about a year and a half old now though, E6700, 4 gig ram, and an 8800 320MB Superclocked card.

Great thread guys... I've been hearing about the game for a while now and psyched about picking it up in the next few weeks.

Is there any online play or is it single player only?

[Grisu]

Is there any online play or is it single player only?

From the FAQ:
Will Fallout 3 include multiplayer?
No, Fallout 3 is a single-player game only.

Arg... would be cool to play humans vs zombies. hehe
Like zombie mod in CS:S, but better

Mine is a couple of months over 2 years old, and its a laptop. I got it just as dual cores were coming out for laptops. Its a 1.83 GHz dual core with 2 gig of ram and ATI radeon X1300. It was awesome when I got it but now its getting obsolete. Plus I think the tech support here messed it up when I had them look at it since I could play CoD4 no problem before and now it lags. Oh well, ill be posting in the computer section soon about building my desktop after I see what parts I can scrounge up already.

They prefer to be called ghouls. :P

Feel free to shoot me: With a ping of 200+ I move like a zombie...

Since it's Halloween, maybe I'll wear my sweet Ghoul mask and see if I can scare some Wastelanders.

There is a Giant - and I mean GIGANTIC hamster wheel in Megaton.



Made my heart race when I saw it.

That's how airplanes fly in 2077: hamster wheel.

I'm techno-retarded so I can't do this but someone needs to turn on fraps, get some video of a few VATS slow-mo decapitations and post them. I so love the sound of that chinese assault rifle in VAT slo-mo. Maybe someone with the Bloody Mess perk.

Any news on the Patch for the game ?
