I loved the orignal Fallout games and have been waitng for the new one for literally years...

played it at the weekend and Ive got to say... I'm undecided on whether its a masterpiece or a bit of a mutated Rad-turkey.

Anyone else got any feedback for this?

Cheers,
Wretch

Is it any good? I was thinking about getting that...

Does it count as small arms or big guns in terms of which skill it uses?

um it's OK - i guess the more you play the more addicted you may get

the vats system is cool for slow mo deaths

gfx are nowt to shout bout - ps make sure you have v-sync on and set video drivers to match otherwise you may get constant crashing

Just got this at the weekend and sorry cant agree with the bad graphics, mine is set on high and its very purdy also I have had no problems with crashing or anything else just seems to work fine.

I think it is interesting the choices you are presented and the many different outcomes you can spark from one little piece of dialogue. I keep thinking of making another save game and just being really mean and stealing and breaking into anything lol. I have a friend who is playing it as well so I know not to do what he does unless I want key people to die

Also voice acting is on a par with Mass Effect no cringyness in sight well worth a punt this is my first fallout so I have no idea what the old ones are like but this is the sort of action RPG I can get my teeth stuck into.

I take it you need to have a high unarmed skill to use spiked knuckles?

Fatman shells are the Mini-nuke shells you pick up from time to time, big explosion and radiation damage, low range as it fires in an arc you have to aim up and hope. the MIRV uses fat boy ammo, fires 8 shells at once, that kills everything but makes it hard to fins the bodys to loot

Didn't notice this thread the first time around
Liked the graphics, thought the story was average and everywhere i went felt under populated (the cities had about 20 people in...)
Good for killing behemoths but prefered Mass Effect and definately prefered Fallout 2 (which i still play!)
For all the guns and such there are guides on youtube

oooh, resurrected thread.

I like the game for the most part. Sometimes it's a little too hard to be evil. I mean without seriously making whole areas of map no go places. Your average annoyed town is worse than a whole camp of raiders or even super mutants. lol.

I'm trying an evil character, still rated as good so far though. Not trying hard enough maybe?

I've also started playing with the G.E.C.K...... BLOODY HELL IT'S HARD TO NAVIGATE! The best I've done is loaded someone elses mod into it and moved stuff around.




Admin abuse? You mean when I abuse the other admins?

If you want to be evil the best way to start is to detonate the bomb in megaton for the guy in the cantina and continue doing jobs for him when he is at ten penny tower, they have a few evil jobs like killing peaceful ghouls etc, but I think they all need killing anyway cos they are trying to reactivate the nuclear weapon satellites to finish of the 'smooth skins' the only ghoul to be trusted is Harold in the grove

Think you get good karma for killing certain enemies, so basically its really hard. Have you tried fallout 2? (i'm gonna keep saying this because its so awesome )
Are there any good mods out yet? I hear tales of an expansion pack or something similar.

Fallout 2 was very good, not sure about mods but i remember trying one which altered what you got to loot, i.e if you only used big guns you would get more ammo for big guns but the rest of the game play was the same. if you can you should try and get the US version of the game, or a mod to bring back the UK gaming board decided was not for us brit's. Fallout Tactics : ROS was another good game, that you could look out for on the PC
