Fallout 3

[Effy in Chains]

 

Is there anything of value in Vault 108? I've been exploring random areas lately looking for things.

Vault 108.

 

The most valuable loot is clearly the Charisma Bobblehead, but the Nuka-Cola Quantum and the skill books in there are good stuff too.

 

Edit: Man i got raped, i could have posted it earlier too.

Hey guys, do you think that the DLCs was already planned from the start of fallout 3?

Because when you take a look at the data/videos, you can see 2 weeks later even without broken steel, and when you finish the game without broken steel you can't play anymore, but if you install then you have > "TWO WEEKS LATER".

No.

 

At the beggining there is a "two weeks later scene". Also they give you a new one for the DLC which has different audio. The first one which came with the game had people of the vault talking about you. And the second one had brotherhood of steel people talking about you.

 

So to sum up, I think they planned to do DLC but did not have it all planned out.

 

I think any company who creates DLC before the game is released then releases it out afterwards to make money is money-grabbing.

What the hell just happened? I saw an explosion in the sky and when I got to the MDPL-05 Power Station, there was loads of alien power cells on the ground.

 

I picked them up and carried on further to where I was attacked by a Giant Radscorpion, While fighting her I got killed by a Yuo Gai, which sent me back a bit.

 

When I retraced my steps there were no alien power cells. I`ve been back a few times, and seen more explosions in the sky, but no more power cells to be found

You've found the firelance, just follow up energy cells until you find a UFO and get firelance.

That`s the thing, the energy cells aren`t there any more. I`ve been searching all over the NW but they`ve just not come back.

The Firelance is a random encounter, it can happen just anywhere. And there is no UFO found after the explosion, apart from the one near Old Olney, like Kiabbo says.

Your best chance of finding everything is to get Dogmeat and have him follow you back to the spot. Walk all around the area and tell him to bring back ammo and weapons. If anything is still there, he'll find it for you.

Yes. Indeed, is just an green-yellow-bright explosion effect.

I used tcl to stop everything just to see what happends or what it is there. Was no object, or something. Just some effects.

 

Is best to use tcl for firelance, cuz they remain in the air and you can take them very easy without spread them all over the map.

[Kiabbo]

The Tank is right, I made a mistake, sorry, there's no UFO, just a firelance in the ground.

Yeah, it is a random encounter, and it can fall in buildings too, like happened to me, my firelance felt in super-duper mart roof, then I asked dogmeat to get me a weapon and boom - he brought me a firelance, LoL, I never saw any UFO but I tought that a UFO was in my super-duper mart roof...

I`m pretty early on in the game, so I don`t know who dogmeat is yet. I saved after the second explosion so I`m hoping the stuff is still there, think I`ll wait till I meet Dogmeat tho.

 

Just got back to the story after a lot of exploring and side-questing. I actually managed to get out of Tranqility Lane using the Failsafe, without the aid of a guide, or pen and paper. I`m really chuffed with myself.

There is a UFO, this will help you find it.

 

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Alien_Crash_Site

 

What you came across was a random event were a "UFO" explodes above you & rains down ammo & a named alien blaster. If I were you, I'd save the blaster for emergencies only. It's ammo is rare & can only be found in certian places, the wiki article I posted gives all locations. I hope this helps you.

You can't find the Firelance UFO, but the alien crash site is in the game from the beggining.

NEVER use the firelance until zeta release, so you'll be able to repair it, IMO it's the most rare item in the game.

Dogmeat is a follower, he is a dog and can find ammo and food for you if you ask him.

[SIKKS66]

That's a good point actually; I used the Firelance quite a bit when I first got it- I think I was killing Raiders in the Super-Duper Mart for Moira's Wasteland Survival Guide quest- so it will probably be in bad shape right now. I locked it away in a locker as soon as I realised how rare it was I also ran outa ammo for it, until I stumbled across that crash site.

[BLlTZ]

But now with the new glitch with Haley from Point Lookout you can repair Firelance to 100%.

 

Mha-ha. If I remember correctly, Daz wanted something like this.

 

 

The Cyro Grenade is a new type of grenade which will be added to Fallout 3 with the release of the Mothership Zeta add-on. It will be able to freeze the target when thrown.

GARY!

 

 

Also for the firelance, just find a unique spawning location, but save before going there. Take dogmeat. Reload till the encounter happens then tell him to find a weapon, then ammo, do it till he comes back with home pregnancy kits and then you are done.

 

That baby does 120 damage, and I havent checked how much it does since point lookout. Probably 150.

 

Also if your chinese assault rifle is only doing 26 damage, and combat shotgun only 30, you are doing something seriously wrong with your gameplay. Up small guns and get point lookout for f*ck sake.

 

The basic smg does 87 damage, which pisses all over most things. You dont even need the unique weapons, or even the good ones anymore.

 

 

Mothership Zeta in 7 days?

I hear that. It's kind of dissapointing that lots of the big guns are so weak, especially the minigun.

[Daz]

True. Things like the missile launcher are just redundant. Even with 100 big guns. It just does fack all to things. They arent rare as they should be. I found a minigun before I found a smg or chinese assault rifle.

Hey look at the first screen with the drone cannon - what armor is he using?The vault 101 armored suit? I hope not 'cause I'm really tired of my Chinese Stealth suit and I want a new alien technology armor!Damn it would be f*cking cool.

Just wondering after looking at those new MZ screens, do you guys think that the planet below the ship is Earth. I mean, I know the planet is going to look quite different after the war, but the landmass we can see looks much bigger, and somewhat different to anything i can think of.

 

I don't think we'll be actually setting foot anywhere except Earth and the mothership, but we could be taken quite far away from home.

 

Screenshot concerned:

[Kiabbo]

Well it can be the Earth, it haves atmosphere and clouds, as you can see.But maybe it can be another planet too.

[3minty3]

I love the MZ screens. Looks really good.

 

I also wanted to ask about level 30. I recently reached level 30 but not all my skills are at 100. Is this right because I am pretty sure some people are at level 30 and have all skills at 100.

[3minty3]

Sorry for slow Internet speed.

Make sure you've collected all the Bobbleheads, and with the Comprehension perk you can get 2 skill points instead of one from reading skill books.

 

And then there is the glitch of respawning Science and Big Guns skill books, so some peeps might not use any skill points on level ups to those two skills and acquire 100 by using the respawning skillbooks glitch.

[Kiabbo]

Just collect bobbleheads and skill books.I think only 10 would be enough, at level 30 you have a lot of skills, right?

[papanesta]

I wouldn't usually make such an internet orientated statement, but; cool weapons are cool.

[DemonKing]

Does anyone else here think the Arkansas slave glitch is f*cking annoying/funny at the same time.

 

f*cking annoying if you want to try and get the rest of the slaves out, while the f*cking old man goes a senile killing spree, but just funny because it's some bald old coot beating the sh*t out of everyone else.

 

 

lol.

[StoneyWhistle]

Here's what has me pondering...After you complete MZ, and go back to the wasteland...will you be able to go back to the MZ, or will you be stuck with Lookout and Pitt still?

[DemonKing]

Here's what has me pondering...After you complete MZ, and go back to the wasteland...will you be able to go back to the MZ, or will you be stuck with Lookout and Pitt still?

I'd say you wouldn't be able to go back to MZ, unless the Aliens are friendly.

 

Otherwise it wouldn't make much sense, if you have to destroy it because they are hostile.

Well, in the screens aliens don't look friendly lol... yeah I don't think that we are going to be able to get back to MZ, I guess we just get there because we are abducted, and if we kill all the aliens, who wil abduct us?

[papanesta]

Unless you crash it.

[SIKKS66]

What if you crash it into New Vegas? Nah, I'm being crazy.
