I played last night. I had the goal of going to some town to see some people, who really cares. I didn't make it. I got sidetracked investigating areas


That's the heart and soul of this game. I started and stopped Fallout 3 like three times before it finally grabbed me. The first two nights I played, I was up till like 2 and having to get up for work at 5:30. I couldn't quit finding areas and exploring. I was a walking zombie at work, but a happy zombie.

It's greatness.

Started last night and going the sneak pistol route. I have sanctuary set up and kinda running. I know there is that joke with Bethesda games where you just pick up everything. Now I actually have to pick up every aluminum can, broken fan, and broom.

Most of the time it's just gibberish, filler. I think with this game, if you say "talk" to someone, if it just does an audio clip and doesn't bring up a text option, it's just NPC nonsense. If the character has a name, even if it doesn't trigger a quest when you first meet them, chances are they are a part of some quest that you perhaps haven't found yet.

Nick Valentine, and one of the main mission bad guys, are the only two people I've found with anything important to say. Piper to a lesser degree.

I've never played a Fallout game before, but I just bought the Fallout 4 Xbox One bundle along with Arkham Knight and Shadow of Mordor. Being a huge LOTR fan and a fan of the Arkham series, I think I'm going to play through both of those before I get to Fallout 4.

My bundle came with Fallout 3 and 4. Should I play through 3 before I get to 4, or does it not matter?

Now animals and sentry bots are another story. That shite is frustrating as hell. Maybe it's because I'm only level 9 but everything feels so OP. I get one shot by bears that are twice as fast as me and the sentry bots are like twin turbo tanks.

seems like they're lifelike

I finally had an incident of one of my settlers stealing my power armor. I guess I give her guard duty, so she figures she can just hijack my armor.

I thought I was going to have to kill her or pickpocket the fusion core, but I tried to talk to her first. No conversation choices came up, just "I need you to get out of the power armor". Like a boss! She jumped right out


And I did nothing last night except build. I had outgrown my Sanctuary base (i.e too many power armors), so wanted to build a new settlement at the drive in. 1) It's bullshite that I have to pack mule all my junk from one workshop to the other. 2) I never realized how important all those pencils and battered clipboards I skipped were until trying to fence in the drive-in and build a 4 story compound for myself. I've just left soooo much wood out there, and I really could have used it last night.

And that little puddle in the middle on the drive-in can support 4 water purifiers. Seems legit!

Wait until you find the asshats trying to sell you insurance or an alt form of currency.

You can get supplies and caps from it if you provide for your settlers, make them happy, and get them to work for you. Also just a different version of Fallout Shelter.


My people in Sanctuary are on their own. I really can't be bothered.


ETA Maybe in a second playthrough I'll mess around with it more.

You don't have to play 3. This is my first Fallout game also.

Does it use the fusion core's power if they take the power armor?
