Quote from: T-Bag;250510Anyone else find this the shortest game ever?
I bought it Saturday, but it took forever downloading so I only played it for an hour that night. Before I quit I created a windows live profile, and next time it started up it didn't show my saves so I started again on Sunday. Played a fair bit Sunday and I completed it today. Can't be much more than 10 hours gameplay.

Did you not do any of the side quests or anything? :blink: My latest savegave lists my playtime as almost 16 hours, and i've not even done the second 'plot' quest yet, i've only just got Galaxy News Radio and chatted to the people there, not done any quests for them yet, and still have a stack left i've not done in Megaton. Sounds like i'm on track, as Gamespy reckoned on about 20-25 hours to do an initial playthrough not trying to speed through it asap, and closer to 50-70 or more to investigate all quests (though that is assuming several relaods to try all the quests you can only get while good, all the ones you can only get while evil, etc etc, like Tenpenny tower being your starting quest hub if you toast Megaton).

I do think it's a bit crap you can't still wander round after completing the main quest though. Will have to remember that when it looks like i'm getting close.

I agree with Carrot, while I'm trying to complete the missions and sub quests, sometimes I just wander of into the wilderness and see what I find - this is what makes the game interesting for me. They've done a great job of creating a post apocalyptic world - quite eerie in places - mind you I crap myself at scarey games hence why I gave up on Far Cry, Stalker and that  underwater game with Daddys etc. Its bad enough with Farcry I sit in front of my pc with one of my daughters nappies tucked in my boxers! :norty:

Argh, I created an windows live profile yesterday and thought I'd lost my savegames aswell. You can turn it off again and use your previous savegames though.
 
Got to say that I reckon I'm around 50 hours in now and when I hit level 20 I came upon an old location from previous versions of fallout, the crashed UFO. Made me smile to find it again.

BTW, one of the perks you can pick when you reach level20 or about is that all the places show up on your map. So easy to find places now and now I just go through all the places to get quests and such.

Question, how did you guys get into the Citadel?
I know the location but the intercom doesn't work and I really want to do that powerarmourquest.

I'm currently in the vault where you do a sort of dreamquest, this girl wants me to kill everyone. Isn't there another way around without killing everyone?

Vault 87, I can't even get close to it without dying of radiation. Do you have to do a quest for it first?

I will play this one the same way I played Oblivion which lasted ages for me.
I will concentrate on sub quests and exploring and tap into the main quest when I feel the need.

Although on Oblivion I also was on a mission to become ALL POWERFUL.

I was surprised though how close this game is to Oblivion.

I've played Oblivion like this aswell.
I like to play all the quests and subquests aswell but I don't really compair it to Oblivion. There are somethings the same offcourse but in Oblivion I went melee and with this game I prefer guns way more.
Getting your own house and so does remind me about Oblivion but I didn't use it that much in Oblivion but in Fallout I use it loads.
 
I'm looking forward to what the modding guys will do with this game though!

Really? I can't believe how simular it feels especially the movement and the characters although the dialouge is better.
I don't mind though as I adored oblivion :)

Warning - Contains spoiler (highlight text to read it)

Get into the Citadel Automatically after rescuing Dr Li. Power Armour training is then given.

To get out of that land you can guess the code in the abandoned house (click on the objects to interact...shouldn't take more than a couple of mins to figure out the code) Use the console to enable the chinese invasion scenario.

To get into Vault 87 you'll have to go through the caverns through the village with the annoying kids. You rescue some kids from slavers and they give you free roam, and if you keep trying to talk to the mayor eventually new speech options show up. Which is annoying because I didn't realise...and was looking for ages for another way.
(To rescue them from the slavers I just killed them all...it wasn't hard...there was a quest but I didn't bother)

When in Vault 87, rescue the guy, and you don't have to worry about radiation.

Basically if you follow the main quest you get into most of the places automatically. But after you complete to retake the purifier it's all over.

Guys, IMHO it is NOT advisable to post the storyline/endings of a new game. Do that in a PM. Please change your post?

Well, it's not the ending or such it seems but as BB allready fixed it it should be better like this.
 
Next time there's some spoilers it's better to anounce it and put the text in white. :flirty:

'Ello there guys - Fallout 3 has gotten me really back into compuiter gaming again - really enjoying it...

Like Dewey I'm moving away from the main quest at the moment and exploring (also investigating the various 'homemade' weapons you can collect).

I have to say, I've never been into role playing games all that much, but if Fallout 4 turned out to be a massive online game like WoW (just spitballing here) then I would be persuaded.

The world is fantastic and I love ambling around and dealing with what I come across. For example, in the middle of no-where last night I came across a party of two slavers leading a slave somewhere, they ended up skewerd on me Shishkebab ('Owww er, Matron!') and I freed the slave. Excellent stuff.

It's that idea that there is stuff going on out there all on it's own that makes this game so good.

I understand what you mean; I saw it on my intern's laptop, and immediately sought out a new PC... Hope to have it next week...

Bethesda has detailed and dated the first downloadable content for Fallout 3, as well as the release of the first content creation tools for the game that will let players create their own mods.

The Fallout 3 modder toolset, called the G.E.C.K, will be released on PC only this December and will let modders create all new dialogue, items, areas and quests.

The DLC meanwhile will be coming to both the Xbox 360 and PC platforms. There are three packs currently planned, the first of which is called Operation: Anchorage and which will be available for both platforms in January. The pack will set players in military simulation that sees them trying to liberate Anchorage, Alaska from Chinese invaders.

The second expansion, The Pitt, will allow the player to journey to a new raider town located in the ruins of Pittsburgh where they can get embroiled in local politics. The Pitt is expected in February.

The final DLC, Broken Steel will continue the adventure beyond the main quest and allow the player to fully enlist with the Brotherhood of Steel and fully purge The Enclave from Washington. Broken Steel is scheduled for release in March
