and I reckon go to fallout 3 or new vegas- vegas is more recent (ergo- slightly better graphics), set mostly in the desert around the vegas strip, while fallout 3 is mostly urban ruins. Personally, I find the new vegas storyline better.

Really ouch... Well, good luck!

As for the FO3 storyline... The original ending was incredibly lame! But I heard they fixed it.
Obsidian is well known for their pretty awesome writers. So it was with KOtOR I and II - the second part had batter story and dialogues. Funny thing, Obsidian always doing the sequels for good games...

I disagree, NV was not as exciting to me as FO:3's story line, seemed more linear to me, despite given several alliance choices.

Well, suum cuique.

I agree with the above, wholeheartedly. I didn't feel like I had the same amount of options in NV as in FO3.





Oh, and no cutting, I will be fine..... THank you, all...

Yeah, get those taken care of dood, before you learn what PAIN is all about.

Um, Yeah... So I am told. Luckily it isn't either a stone or a kidney infection and will clear up with a few pills.

that must be remembered on a more brighter side^^

at max... i think if all can be mended by pills...then let it be pills...otherwise i´ve heard that stones can be destroyed by sonics... thats million times better than getting a cam inside your peepee and later on leting someone use a knife on you...i cross my fingers till they are white for you!!!

as for the recent discussion: JAKE! be aware that all your recent grafic standards will have to be lowered to a below smartphone standard if you want to play FO 1&2... because these are all just totally low graphic games... BUT the storyline and gameplay is quite brilliant and it was one of the first RPG ´s set in a postapocalyptic world...oposed to the fantastic worlds created back then en masse...

as for MMORPG´s (well rpg for a lack of a better word..no wait...scam is far more fitting...) they are atm dead for me, because they now resemble more of a work day...with idiots to booth...and it got even worse since they introduced by your gear instead of fight for your gear... now the dumb jockeys have all the luck in the world, because they pay for it to hit noobz... no skill winners...the worst part i can imagine...

FO1&2 can be purchased now with a built in down clocker for your computer.

HAHA Thanks Vik!

Just finished the fallout 3 main questline... about 7 hours and it's done? Way too short for my liking... new vegas took at least a dozen, most probably more.

well...the idea behind this game is that you let yourself get sidetracked as much as possible... to get the most of the game... i think you could do this with every major game out there.... do a net-run through...but where is the point in that...

at max...yep...the releasing of said debris...ouch again... hope i will never be with you on this one tho...

and dave...you´re welcome^^

Aye, but sadly my last save before the end of the mission (aside from being trapped) is missing about 3 hours of gameplay
really need to learn to save the game more as opposed to quick saving...

edit- turns out I managed to run back out of the room before I was spoken to, but now I have a follower who won't go away :(

FO3 main quest only in 2 hours and FONV in 1.5......

But then again I speed play most games on lowest difficulty so I can enjoy the story.....

It is the side stories and quests thatmake those gwmes interesting....

Case in point: Oblivion......

for now i haven´t even used the quicksave option... so...^^

max...that is damn quick... you have the book walkthrough on your knees or what?^^

quicksave is f5, and doesn't appear on other consoles ^^

yup i knows that by now^^ but my pc gets a frozen screen at totally random moments... so i try to save often ...and save for good i do... by the way... the game also saves auto saves on its own acord... whenever you get into a new zone... no ther savegame available? hmmm...

No I didn't have the book when I first got the games.....


I try to beat a game without a book at least once before I get a book and go for a completionist completion of the game.....


I just found both the main quests of those two games to be simple and easy....

well...was only teasing^^ ... i seldom cheat in a game from the start too... if...then there is something strongly fishy about said game...

damn its good to be back, dumb internet got shut off.. but dont fret my fellow patrons.. it will take more than this to keep me away!

Glad to hear it RW....

Hey, I found that FO-3 was not JUST Urban ruins, there were out door scenes there to wander about in, and it is set in the alternate Washington D.C. area. Once you add the DLC's it get's even more interesting. With helping the Outcasts you get that Alaska sim, so wintery scenes, with the Pitt, super urban
Industrial in fact! Point look out is so swamp land and bayou like with so little in the way of "civilization" in it, and Mother ship Zeta is all on board that alien starship, whose main engineering seems like a massive homage to Star Trek BTW.
Broken Steel helps with a better end to the fight as you help mop up the Enclave, and stop their mad plans and then you are like in Oblivion, free to wander about and do things with the character (especially if you have yet to finish collecting weapons and items or investigate all of the locations or finish the many side quests available.

With FO-NV they have done the same. Dead Money you get stuck in a Casino and small village outside it.
I have not done all of the DLC's I bought for FO:NV yet, but the Kind Hearts has me wandering about in the painted valley of Utah Beautiful new scenery. There is also another one that has a different setting, and the sci-fi weridness one to go through. also open now with all the DLC's as I think one allows the game to go past the final battle of the main quest line?

i think that when watching my freind play the Pitt a while back, it made me laugh.. seeing as i am from Pennsylvania, the way it looks in the dlc just makes me think of normal pittsberg and not post apoc one

welcome back to the fold RW... i was rather thinking you got totally sucked up in work...good to see you back again!

shaso... yep... i am most eager to see more outdoor fun... somehow that is much more interesting to me than all these close quarter fights were a burst is all you need... i am more a fine placed shot kinda guy anyway^^ so long ranged fights suits me more^^

the pitt i am currently most looking forward to...will the game lead me to these locations or how do i acces them?


i currently purged the chineese stray soldiers in that food factory... after that i finally got me the dogmeat dog... but i got to say... it is way creepier now the game as i have him barking and huffing around all the time... on numerous occasions one bark had nearly shoot him... i must contain myself...^^

Let him growl and bark, let him run out and bite them. He focuses their aggro and you can take well-placed shots, that's the way I play anyways. I usually just use conventinal weapons most of the time.

For going underground, the combat shotgun/flamer, and 10mm SMG works a piece! Same with the AK's Liking experimentation, getting Gen. Jingway's "Powersword" is good for some of that super close fighting as your pip-boy plays Galaxy Radio's "Butcher Pete"

Yeah, and he does occassionally get in the way while going places.

ah... ok... i was just selling loot at megaton and imidiatly went to the vault... but no doggy there... so then i try again...

Well, until then, it is better to have Talon after you as until you can use Powered Armor, combat armor is very nice, and with so many Talons after you, you have plenty of repair pieces to make yours at 100%! Plus spares for the weapons too!

me now too... i always had the hots for redheads... and her skimpy outfit... well...well...just generaly well


the vid was very good... it always amazes me how much energy some fans can put into such projects! if the post apocalyptic world has buddies and sidekicks like these...well it is not too shabby to be alive then...^^

Well, besides the redhead thing....that look as she walks away from the camera. perfect.

LOL! in game though you get one talking companion, and a dog. it would be interesting if you could have more at the same time. In FONV, the robot ED-E and a person.

in Fo2 you had iirc up to three? a smallish gang... that way you could loot more and have way more fun in battles... it got a way more strategic air about the game then... i guess that´s why they made FO tactics...which everyone seems to dislike... i played it and have it still installed on my PC...it filled a niche for me...

Well, in the vanilla game you can have two companions (one humanoid (ghoul, human) and one non-human (robot, dog), but with mods they don't count towards your companions- I have one mod dog, one mod deathclaw, one vanilla dog, 3 mod humans and one vanilla human, though usually I run with one dog, the deathclaw and a mod companion to keep it from being too easy.

are ye talking about the FO3? with that army... would be everything be a piece of cake then... the deathclaw even alone is worth an army...

Now that also is another thing, I see so many people do weird things with the PC version, I am just enjoying it on console as is, no weird alterations no making myself invincible, no outside the game stuff. Plenty enough to keep track of as is!

I'm on about new vegas, most mods don't work on fallout 3 for some reason, and I don't even have a follower... only encountered three possible companions, one of which I'm too bad for (karma level), one I'm too good for, and one I'm doing a quest for to make her a follower. In new vegas, I encounter few fights I can't handle alone (I've got one of the best armour and weapons), with decent battle-oriented perks and traits, so what better way to entertain more than to see a cyber-dog, deathclaw and ghoul try to bite/claw/punch a raider? ^^

to tore a raider limb fr4om bloddy limb is always a nice sight to be seen^^

well... i have yet to see how to get the mods involved in my current game... how do i acces the pitt and allthese mods anyway?

Some of these come as you level up, but check your Pip-boy for the radio frequencies. these are what helps you get the access, and quests that allow access.

ah... i only recently switched on the radio...and there i got some show from that dog character that even talked about me...^^ i am famous...^^

Your first big challenge will be getting to the GNR studios (if you did not pass the speech check with Moriarty) building and meeting Three Dog. However, you'll get to shoot the Fat Man at a Behemoth mutant too, so t's pretty cool!

should i do this rather quick or do i have time for that? i am doing some research work for that girl in the suply shop at megaton first... she is writing a book on post apocalyptic survival...always was the man for a lil something helpful to damsels in distress...or at least pretty damsels anyways^^

Yep, do that fully (don't lie to Moira) and Three Dog will give you praises on the radio.

You have all the time in the world Vik, GNR is part of the main questline.

GNR

? sorry... i am not that firm with abrevations...

yeah for now i am looking for molerats... they are fairly easy to hit with the stick^^ three i have... but i want the superquest too... where do i find more of these tasty fellas?


well any ways...time for me to hit the cushion^^


cheers, vik

Galaxy News Radio- Every 2 days Molerats respawn, remember that, a lot of time you can find a nest (like behind megaton where the free sniper rifle is) and use the wait (t) function

just saying, 3 dog from FO3, has the same name as 3 Hund in the Human Centipede...

So disturbing a movie that.

Oh yeah, once you meet 3-dog, he will also hand you a quest.

Too bad you don't get that radio station in NV, though you get black mountain radio. Just adding in a mod now to boost its signal over the entire wasteland.

Is there a mod to add more period music to the rotation of GNR? It pisses me off to no end when I am at work, in the middle of the afternoon, and I have "let's go sun'in" in my head.

Murder music is not good at work

I don't know about a mod but you can in fact add any music you want to the playlist......

I think there is a limit on how ling the piece can be but it is possible. It involves using mod software that lets you dig through all the files in the cabs and edit them.....


I used FOMM (Fallout Mod Manager) to rip out all the files I used to make the soundtrack with radio commentary inserted into it....

It came out very well and I am sure that you could figure out how to put in your own tunes.....

I replace one of Three Dogs newscast introductions with a Mountain Dew commercial just for poops and giggles.......

^lol mountain dew

Or Mister New Vegas as a radio station speaker. A very much older sounding Kasey Kasem.

I hate Mr Vegas. Every time I turn it on to that station he says a few lines then bam Johnny Guitar... -.-

True, Hellboy being the most recent.

tho the last hellboy movie was not all it cracked up to be...

True, It had it's moments, but not like the first

I liked both the same, which is to say, a lot.....


But then again I remember when he and I had youth in common and he did that tv show with Linda whats her name, Beauty and the Beast.

My father considered Ron Perlman to be the best tv actor to never show his face on screen....

couldna have put it any better^^

tho if they would want to make a new one i would watch that too...

I loved hellboy I, and yeah, III wasn't quite the same, but it was still pretty good...
Just came back from two bottles of coke, a "treat" bag of skittles and LOTR, pretty good way to ease the stress of coursework IMO ^^

the first LOTR movie? extended version? i liked that very much!

and it seems you are juiced up for anything with that bloodsugar^^

Yeah, Ron is good.

First one ^^
though the two towers and return of the king we can't find

well i have the trillogy at home...on dvd...it was a must back then...and we watch it from time to time...

the final battle of the two towers is for me the best...^^

Anyone remember the animated movies of those books?

I loved them all....

I love that fight so much more straight-up than the pelennor fields, where it's gondor vs mordor, then gondor/rohan vs mordor, then gondor/rohan vs mordor/haradrim, then gondor/rohan/army of the dead vs mordor/haradrim... especially when they go "feth it, let's go down in style" and ride out

Yeah that was epic. I remember reading those at a young age and just sitting in awe at the level of story telling that was in them....

I think they should reboot the storyline of FO:1 in the 3D FPS engine, the first vault dweller from Vault 13, as he discovers it all.

i wondered about that too... but that would be a good idea... heck...with the liscense you could make a chineese attack situated game too... but i guess you would loose the RPG feel then...

Vik, if you follow the Outcast's radio signal, you can play the "Operation: Anchorage" in FO:3
You can get Power Armor when you are done with it

oh...didn´t knew that... the outcast signal...which one is that?

Check your Pip Boy, you have a quest called "Aiding the Outcasts"

There is talk of moving the storylines in from each coast as the game progresses and meeting somewhere in Kansas o Texas to hit the final cofrontation.....

I've used steady a few times to improve accuracy, but that's about it

steady? i don´t recognize that drug...

Yeah I think I will start FO3 Again soon too.


Right after I beat FONV a fifth time.....

Steady is in FONV

Ah, that's why I haven't seen it in FO3... and I'm currently fighting for the hoover dam for the third time, this time with the 'bots instead of NCR... maybe next time I'll go with the legion...

well then... nighty night fellas!!

Pleasant dreams of going through the wastelands!

i just shot a walrus

The Beatles wrote:

I am the Walrus.....

well i guess thats proof that i did shoot a walrus

I gunned down a catholic orphanage and shot a nun.
damn heretics.

I shot the sheriff...

I shot my self …… OUCHHHH

The Walrus was Paul.

He kinda looks like it these days.......

He is my least favorite Beatle.

Really? Why? I really don't have a favorite.....

somehow there are many peeps around that even have a favorite beetle...i mean... i have no opinion on them...i like their music... they can live or not live however they want for my part^^

and i feel cracked up... i didn´t shoot no one all day... man...all that notwasted amo going to waste...

and mind you...it is way creepy having to crawl through metro tunnels and then when you decide it is finally time for bed... you are the sole person non asleep...the apartment is all quiet and then you hear something cracking...man... it is so easy to flinch in the darkness after a session of FO... and the worst part is... you have no shotgun to protect you from possible harm...*shudders*

today i finally managed to squeeze some hobby time in... worked on the knee tigh/claf section... hopefully it will be presentable for you tonight... it has still to set and cure a bit further to be able to take pics of...


cheers, vik

i say congrats to my self, for succesfully taking one page of of FO for a little bit... and looking foward to that update vik

i drunk one beer in FONV and became addicted. and in FONV you can get addicted to stimpacks.......

It's ok though, Stimpaks are good for you!

Rogue Wolves wrote:but i did not shoot the deputy..

They're tryin' to track me down!..

I think I've been addicted to just about everything in fallout (minus the less helpful drugs), but luckily I'm a good friend of the follower's doc to patch me up ^^

You can't get addicted to Nuka-Cola!

Seems like Twig can ^^

Hahaha yep
He has the Lead Belly perk remember?

and mysterious stranger
though needs to improve melee weapon skill somewhat...

Yeah, Twig, the scrawniest man in his vault!

one of my favorite lines- "they used to put me in small spaces, like "ha ha, he can fit in this small space, whereas we cannot, and ha ha..."

Yeah. that and his debut where he thought the Dirty Water was a Nuka and the lights got all special and the music played all in his fevered imagination.

And when they start the fight with the ranger and he casually takes Ben and Twig on

I hope they make a season 2.

for me the mysterious stranger was tone of the most hillarious things... i saw him run into him and help him get his box again... and i instantly thought... that man...he looks strange...get it? lol

anyway... i promised an update and here it is...the today work of the legs... courtesy of liquid nails again... that stuff is quite an ideasver as i can fulfill my ideas and it still works even tho the materials usually leave me alone and don´t stick to each other as i had planned... but now i can nail everything down as planned...i think i will get me another tube soon...that stuff is rather omnipotent^^

anyways...some pics...not nice but will get serious sanding action soon to get it better shaped...

dirty job legs... the joints are bigger wooden beads... a bit larger than 1.5cm i think in diameter... and then some rather cheap tubing from the electro department of the hardware store...my wife bought me a length of 2meters for only 0.70€s... yeah that cheap... cable tunnel or sumthin´^^



and together with the body/torso...but not connected...


that knight will be standing quite tall indeed... btw...each piece of tubing is 3 cm long...

oh and for your information... since max is chucking out more titans than anyone could ever hope to achive... i have started a little (not really little) sideproject with my first love in materials... a cardboard titan...pics will follow shortly... i needed to find out if it would be doable for me...since cardboard is cheap and sturdy and i had my fist real successes with it... so it will be a bit bigger than that knight... for your information even further...the tubing section between joint and joint on the knight is 3cm... whereas the cardboard ratio is 7cm...

cheers, vik

WHoa, nice technoskeleton there Vik!

verrry nice sir vikington

thanks kind sirs!^^

I say, good sir, bravo! Though I fear that it may, perchance, require more rivets! *harumph*

So many riveting opportunities on that Vik!

hmmm.... you might be on the rigt track there good sir...

You know I am!

lol... it was originally menat for strikes comment...but that kind of phrase always works for you shaso as a default answer^^

Aye, my default answer is "lookin' good, vik!", or "nice work, man!" or variations thereupon...

aye!!!


and now i am off to bed... see ya´ll tomorrow^^

cheers, vik

Don't blame me, Vik, for your own grand ambitions.....


I accept no fault or responsibility for any time or money spent on your part.......


LOL

Liquid nails ! yay , is so versatile . better than rivets lol.

Glad to see some modelling work back at long last Like the approach so far starting to resemble a body structure Keep it coming

if i didn´t know you better i´d call in the league on you for that one^^

thanks LDD... well the next move will either be making the arms or attach the legs to the body...

What's all this about liquid rivets?

not liquide rivets...liquid nails...lol...

I know, makes nice fire, but now there must be some somewhere.

oh...fire...of course! i have to remember that one! was more thinking f fur and such things but you are totally right...!

and you mean there should be some liquder rivets around somewhere...hmmm... now there is a thought... the league should investigate LOL

Vik, just re-label liquid nails and re-sell it as League Brand Liquid Rivets!

Found it....

How much you want to bet it's almost the same stuff?

It has the superior name though.

A little bit more research revealed it is in fact quite nearly exactly the same chemical compound.......



But it does also in fact have the superior name.....

Absolutely!

omg....how do we act now...has the league to sue now these producers?.... hmmm...

No, we embrace the liquidy rivetness and bask in it's glory, Vik.....

ALL rivets are created equal.

Amen!

It can reach those places that other rivets can not reach.

yeah i see... that is a good thing and a half...^^ sorry mates no updates today... FO3 ate up my time^^

Never mind, that's a respectful excuse

lol...well i always think at least about my projects while getting disatracted from them^^ so the conceptual work goes on while doing someting else...like flossing or doing the dishes^^

Aye, same thing. What annoys me a little, I'm thinking about the stuff much more, than doing the stuff

that is the very thing why i seldom break out my GS stuff... all the projects i want to do and i don´t step beyond the initial barrier...

FW stole your basic robo idea Vik!

thanks shaso for the link... seems i have to get that newsletter too...after all my emailacount gets so lonley once micro mail and GW i have looked through each day^^ (at least felt each day^^)

Well, they send out a monthly

Hey, I know that feeling! Even though I already know the level of my skill with GS, it's still pretty hard for me to make this initial step... It's a bit silly. Good, the initial step is all it takes

As for this FW "Chaos Warjack"... Well, like it been said in one very good and very old Soviet comedy: "Everything had already been stolen before us!"

Dammit! They need to give the Guard something like that!

well... i can still remember your folks walking away with railroad rails and even a whole powerplant back in the last century

for me the most vital point not to start with GS in a session is the mixing and planning ahead of what to use the GS for... every time i have way too much mixed stuff after i am finished...and i am not that good to make good use for the leftover stuff...

tried even the fridhe recently but i have not since then thawed it off again...

TBH, guard are more the seemingly insignificant footsloggers, bound by duty to the emperor, who perform great acts of heroism and comradeship with nothing but thier lagsun and sheer force of will- I don't think they should have such a badass machine, because they rarely need it, and it would ruin thier image for me, much like the dreadknight- however badass it may be, it will forever ruin the image of david vs goliath for me.

I always have a lot of GS leftover... Mostly on my floor =/

buy a green rug - problem solved ^^

Then it will hide my wonderful spotty floor! And I consider it to be my best GS work...

though yes, big tanks are good too ^^, though I prefer to leave them for bigger battles, after all, the more you use something, the less effect it has ^^... like internet memes being over-posted *cough* arrowtotheknee *cough* =

plus the kettle could be... hot chocolate? *ba-dum tsh*

That's calling for the conversion! I think I know, what will be my next project!

you wanted to do a tiled floor anyways^^

and...hur hr hur...hot chocolate... but liking it from the fireplace/hearth sounds like a ...not so good idea my friend...^^

Or super-duper-anti-stick-power-slippers (with built-in minigun, of course)?

with extra added bling on the slippers?...minigun is always something i can look forward to...there is little in this world that couldn´t be made better with a minigun...

Sorry to go back to fallout (well, not really ), but I just saw this:

Shrike, you only ever have the three of those. They are however so worth it! I locked the last one away in my suite at Lucky 38 .

@Ish, sneak some nail polish remover from GF and no more slippers stuck. OR Make slippers with rocket assist and assault cannons

actually teflon soled slipers sound not to bad... after all they are called slippers for a reason...
