Picked up Fallout 3 again while on chemo and decided to be a loving evil bastard this time and holy poo poo is it easy to break the game when you give no fucks about anyone. I also did the add ons first before the main story and drat does Point Lookout and the one where you do the simulation of Operation Anchorage give you the stuff to crack the game wide open. The Chinese sneaking suit and Chinese general's shock sword made Mothership Zeta a joke (once you got your gear back) and the weapons and ammo (not to mention modified alien healing gel) that addon gives you makes you unstoppable. Then all the crazy perks you pick up doing the addons first... I'm level 26 and have moved into Broken Steel and told the Brotherhood to gently caress off while I run around the wasteland doing side quests from the main game and exploring now that I have the Explorer perk and collecting teddy bears for the cure in The Pitt (I told Werner to gently caress off, then killed him and Midea with the Deathclaw gauntlet I got in the fights, for not giving me my gear at all and having to get it back myself in the arena). I also blew up Megaton, but haven't decided whether to murder the ghouls or what to do with the folks in Tenpenny tower yet. I'm apparently the most evil bastard in the world, regulators are after me and no name NPCs flee in terror when I show up, whether I start shooting or not. What followers can I get, and how do I get them? I can't seem to find Dogmeat... Some Pinko Commie fucked around with this message at 07:48 on Nov 15, 2011 |

e/ Dogmeat is in a giant scrapyard thing somewhere near that vault you get the violin from and/or the woman who wants it. I forget as I haven't played the game in well over a year, but start looking there. Fawkes is in Vault 86, there's that raider guy in Megaton, and I have no idea as to any others. I kind of rushed through the game without exploring a whole lot. I never actually played any of the DLC for it, especially since NV was out by the time I got it, but I always collected teddy bears, toy cars, Nuka-Cola trucks and various other things and hoarded them on principle. I still do the same in NV, unless they're owned by someone who isn't a giant douche and/or dead. I must rescue the toys from the horrors of the wasteland  Added bonus: it gives me an incentive to explore beyond merely "get caps" or "explode things", since i'm pretty good for both of those. rossmum fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Nov 15, 2011 |

Do you think there will inevitably be an 'Ultimate Edition' or some such that includes all the DLC and everything official to do with Fallout: New Vegas, and that I don't need to rush in to buy each one individually now? I played through about 20 hours of the game on PS3 but now want to get into it again on my PC, but don't know how much it is going to cost right now to buy all the elements individually. After all, I *can* just get in to Skyrim instead and wait it out. Yes/no?

You locked yourself out of Jericho (the former raider) by blowing up Megaton, so your options are Dogmeat, Charon, and Clover. You can buy Clover in Paradise Falls for 1000 caps or 500 with a barter check, and Charon can be bought from the bar owner in Underground, you have to wack some other bitch to get him to sell. Of course you could use the karma reset perks if you felt like you wanted some other options, since you said you have the DLC.

Well think of it, you can get skyrim now for 60 bucks, or wait later for its inevitable DLC ultimate edition that'll be 20 bucks for all skyrim dlc.

When I went to Paradise Falls I told the guard at the front gate to eat a dick when he tried the tough guy poo poo at me and I ended up having to kill everyone there but the kids (worked out anyway, needed them freed to get to Vault 87). Fawkes told me I was too evil for him to join, but if my karma goes up I'll be able to recruit him when I find him at some museum later. I'll check into Charon when I play later today. How many followers can you get at once? Oh, and if I murder everyone at the Regulators hideout, will that stop the bounty ambushes?

You don't have to murder to get Charon, the guy will still sell his contract but for like 2000 caps if you don't want to kill the woman.  Of course I'm sure Wade Wilson will have zero issues with it so whatever

eating only apples posted:You don't have to murder to get Charon, the guy will still sell his contract but for like 2000 caps if you don't want to kill the woman. Yeah, no poo poo. Now I'm wishing I had the spare cash for New Vegas and the expansions for the PC (since my PS3 died on me and I can't play that version anymore). This Fallout 3 GOTY run is fun, but I like the way New Vegas characters behaved more than this version. Everyone is kind of predictable and at this point my character is pretty much a walking God of Destruction between the Almost Perfect perk and the other one that let me rank up Special points to max out Charisma, Science and Perception, then all the points I got getting to level 26 maxing out Sneak, Science, Repair, Lockpick and Barter, then a couple of the combat skills and getting everything else to 60+, plus all the skill books. I've got a while before level 27 comes up, but I thought I saw a perk that would basically make me immune to radiation (since radiation poisoning results in health regeneration with it) if there is no ability to actually get the radiation immunity by revisiting the Pitt with a shitload of teddy bears and other toys and giving them to the baby (something about giving them lots of childrens toys making it easier to do research safely). EDIT: Ugh, Charon died to Super Mutants at the Lady of Hope hospital or whatever when I was following Reilly's mercenaries distress call quest. I'd even given him fully repaired Outcast power armor and helmet and a pile of Stealth Boys to use while I was in my Chinese Stealth suit packing the most powerful rifle from Mothership Zeta. I was one-shotting mutants from VATS and he still managed to get himself killed charging between a Super Mutant Warlord with a laser gatling gun and a regular Super Mutant wielding a super sledge. Now to find Dogmeat and get that mutt to join up somehow. Some Pinko Commie fucked around with this message at 04:17 on Nov 16, 2011 |

I played FO3 3 or 4 times, or at least started that many saves but I didn't pick up Dogmeat once. I think on my last character I tried to find him too, I think I passed through the Vault 101 > Megaton path a few times expecting to find him because I remembered everyone saying it was the first thing they did. Oh and I just checked how many hours I've been playing NV for on my current character, 86 hours. Still haven't done a bunch of the side quests and only halfway through lonesome road.

Yeah, go for the companion that can't wear armor and uses only melee attacks. You'll have that goddamn dog for all of about 5 minutes.

notZaar posted:Yeah, do those things have more HP than the behemoth monster mutants you see in the vanialla game? It sure feels like they do. And that's just ridiculous. The Fallout wiki says that the Albino scorpion has 1,500 health, while the Behemoth has 2,000. For reference, the Super Mutant that appears when Broken Steel is installed has 1,250 HP, while the Broken Steel Ghoul has 1,100.

The broken steel ghouls are also just loving buggy out the wazoo and go into a Jacob's ladder seizure whenever you hit them that makes all their parts except for their legs intangible. You know, par for the course with Bethesda's DLC.

Hell, for the Courier, that's hardly worth mentioning! And it gets you Thump-Thump! I think you're just jealous of their awesome B-29.  Also, I don't really understand why they're bad people. Sure, they're somewhat xenophobic and somewhat trigger happy with the Artillery, but that's pretty understandable when you live in a world with giant mutated animals and multiple belligerent factions at your borders.

Yeah, that's the impression I got from them as well. If they were like the Legion, I'd say they're bad people- but they're not. They just want to be left alone to do their thing; once you meet them, they're actually pretty all right. As for the ants- what? Come on, we've all done more tedious things, and if you have a Stealth Boy and (spoilering to be safe) Lloyd's sonic wotsit, you don't have to do any fighting at all
