Fallout 3

[TheOrganization]

Oh i got the ant special thing, that was one of the first quests i completed, i just found a home for bryan to, i chose the one on the ship in rivet city but apparently you can home him somewhere else?
I reckon i should bobble head hunt next for a while, are they easy to find or are they completely hidden somewhere ridiculous?

[Enrico Marini]

Err both. A couple are hidden but most are usually in plain site within a room. You just have to be aware to check for them. I think there are one or two from what I remember that were tucked away.

[aris13]

LOL. I'm more inclined to be a good guy. I did let the ghouls ravage the hotel though... Those elitist bastards needed a lession .

I think you gain good karma if you let the ghouls in.

I guess it does, and if you have Broken Steel you can make more choices that alter the ending.

Is it nessecarry to start a new game to gain access to the Broken Steel content? Because I'm at the last guest and I haven't installed the DLC.

Also, do you guys experienced any freezing issues?

[TheOrganization]

I should buy the add on games then? everyone seems to go on about them.
I have some freezing issues, nothing major, if i'm running around the wasteland the game will freeze for literally a second or something

[Enrico Marini]

They are fun but short.

Operation Anchorige is a virtual simulation of the alaskan war. Kind of feels like the Dam on Goldeneye. It was ok but felt out of place in Fallout a bit. Turned it too much like Modern Warfare game play.

The Pitt is ok, has a few new weapons and quests as well as a strange take on morality. Worth a play.

Broken Steel is more of the same of what Fallout 3 has in abundance.

Point Lookout is pretty neat and different from the main game. Definately worth a play.

Mothership Zeta. Can't really say. Got this on day of release and kept getting bugs to the point I cba to play it.

Out of the lot Broken Steel has more to do but I like Lookout and the Pitt.

Well I have major freezing issues. The game starts to freeze for a second or two and after a while the console freezes completely.

[TheOrganization]

your console may be on it's way out maybe? if your on the 360 i had that just before i got the ring of death.

I bought operation anchorage and the pitt cause i couldnt find the other one in town anywhere, hope it's worth it

[aris13]

your console may be on it's way out maybe?

I don't thing so, all the other games work fine and Fallout 3 only froze the last couple of times I played it. Btw I have a PS3.

[TheOrganization]

ah ok, sorry, just thats how my 360 went, didnt realise your on ps3 =]
It must be the disc then perhaps

[Dracarys]

If your PS3 freezes during VATS just leave it for 2-10 minutes. I've done this a few times and it always unfreezes. There is no indication it is processing anything, no blinking orange light or any noises, it just unfreezes suddenly.

Out of VATS though freezes usually require a PS3 reboot.

If your PS3 freezes during VATS just leave it for 2-10 minutes.

Sounds perfectly acceptable!

I'm glad this thread was made. I got Fallout 3 for 360 for Christmas, and I plan on starting it once I get back to school.

Also, do you guys experienced any freezing issues?

Nope, I had very good karma and after doing that mission, I got neutral karma .

The DLC can be added at anytime, I started playing and later added all the DLC's and there was no problem.
I just finished Broken Steel's extra missions. And now I'm doing Operation Anchorage stuff. Getting used to not overusing my Fat Man LOL.

Also my copy is glitchy as hell. Sometimes it gets stuck while traveling on the wasteland or some bizarre graphical glitches happen making almost impossible to continue... But I looooove this game, I really do.

[Darkmoon]

I've been pretty lucky. Most of the glitches I've gotten have been just funny. For example, a Super Mutant Behemoth dying and going orbital. Just keels over and flies off into the sky. You can see it from the right places, a speck in the sky.

Another one is the dancing corpses that shudder around. One of them turned into this long string/tentacle thing and spends its days whipping around over Andrews Air Base.

[Skunky]

I absolutely LOVED this game when I got it. I spent about a month playing it all the time.
But I havn't returned to it for a month or 2. Not sure why...
I've got the PS3 GOTY edition, so all the extra content is still waiting for me (I havn't started any of them yet).
