Got this when it came out and didnt play more then a half hour at a time. wasent impressed and i was just after finishing Fable so i was a bit put off by the much meaner spirited world. Popped it in last week and iv racked up about 13 hrs so far WHAT A GAME. I Think it may be in my top 5.

Can someone tell me how to get the camera to roam around you so you can view your armor upgrade?

goin searching for the superhero guy tonight and i wana be able to look at his costume tonight when i kill him

I asked that before and only got a PC answer. I'm still none the wiser. You can let go of your controller for a few minutes and the camera will start spinning around your character.

doesnt RB give you third party view and you can spin camera around?

I think its LB but you cant spin it around it just kinda sticks to a side profile view cus your vault dweler moves around too. Seen a video of someone on power armour playin on the xbox and he was able to spin the camera around.

I saw a clip on youtube too. He did it while standing close to the wall in his gaff in Megaton.

You hold down LB and move the stick. You can zoom in and out too by moving the stick up or down, just make sure to keep LB held down

it worked horah!! Now I can look at my ned Kelly helmet with enclave armor!

racked up 14 hours so far an ive only finished Galaxy radio news quest
my 1st fallout game, didnt know what to expect after playing all the elder scroll games, very slimmed down and simplified in comparisson. not a bad thing though so many mad max references lol.

lack of variety in the enemies and the missions not being as varied as say oblivion and constanly crouching by accident woth l-stick when back peddling in fights are the only minor issues. Major issue is the manual aiming thank fook for v.a.t.s and one or 2 perks that effect it , never gets old (favorite at the moment is the effects of the laser rifle reducing foe;s to ashes)

Atmosphere is excellent and still jump out of my seat when things get heated or something comes from nowhere :eek:

think i still have 20 or so hours at least b4 i get my life back ;-)

I've completed it 3 times now trying different variations and it never gets old.Reckon after the 20 hours add on about 80 more and then get ready for the dlc. The amount of stuff you notice the 2nd time round is crazy, for the 3rd time decided to just go all out evil,

blew the ****e out of megathon, let ghouls over run ten penny towers, killed every one I met that I possibly could ,burned down that tree fecker

.....Great fun.

Any idea how to tell how long you have been playing for i know there is a clock on your pip boy but thats isnt acurate as you sleep for hours during the game, I have started doing al lth eside missions now as i dont want to finish this game ( thats a first ). But then again i am looking foward to going back and playing it as a nasty piece of work.

Anyone get the reformed Raider to join up with you ? i met him in megaton but my karma was too high he reckoned i was a goody two shoes and wouldnt come with me.

Still havent found the dog , robot or a place to live !!!!

If you save Megaton by disarming the bomb, they will give you a house with a robot (doesn't do much, gives you a few bottles of purified water each day and allows you to change your hair). If you blow up Megaton, then you will get a place in Tenpenny Tower.

Rev. Kitchen

I am half way through the game ( roughly ) am i better off finishing off the game then starting a new game and playing it as a evil B . Or starting the new one now so the story isnt ruined for me by allready finishing the 1st game.

If i know whats going to happen will i keep playing it or does it change every time ?

Not The Real Scarecrow

reckon completeion as a total evil fecker is about 20 hours if you just blow up megathon nearly straight away and not bother with the side quests..of courseyou can strech the game out for as long as you want really by exploring you end up finding a tonne of side quests and little mini ones.If you just play the story straight reckon about 15hrs and you'll fly through it cause you kind of know every thing you need to do.
Just finished Fable 2 last night, rented it out on Sat. and didn't really put that much time in it.Fallout is farsuperior in every aspect,especially after playing both of them close enough together.Fable is like a kids game or a beginners game.So glad I didn't buy it.

there seems to be quite a few endings, so far i have seen three different ones and i havent tried all the permutations yet.

and if you think burning people to ash with the laser is cool wait till you turn people to puddles with the plasma weapons

Redhairedguy

Out of curiosity when in the game is the point of no return for the different endings??? ie when should i save? i know u get an extra scene for getting those losers to the lincoln memorial / shakes fist at glitches while do it better be worth it, but what else effects the out come at the end appart from good or evil karma

If you mean real time hours go to save your game and the total length of time spent playing is there on your save file.

I shall be contributing to this thread over the next week! Got my copy of Fallout3 just there, but I won't open it up just yet as I've two films I want to see tonight...

But I'm looking very forward to playing it!

AdMMM

I too have bitten the bullet and bought this game. I'm not usually one for RPGS, but I have high hopes for this with every single gaming authority saying it's one not to be missed!

RAIN

The ending

anyone find it a bit stingy on the cinematics ? Did anyone convince eden to kill himself ? and finaly how freeekin cool is liberty prime

Not The Real Scarecrow

yeah did that alright but found it abit of an anti climax.

Edit just finished it

what a let down a few screen shots and a vioce over

for those who want the differnet endings

the last save will give you 4 possible ones but all you get is extra pictures durring it so the alleged 192 endings is a crock google or youtube it you'll be better off

for those who want the achievements

make saves @ level 7 , 13 and 19 and play as a good character then go on a kill crazy rampage

I'm playing through this at the moment. Its a touch confusing and while on my way to somewhere else I seem to have found myself in an enormous fight with a bunch of super mutants in a hotel. I'm only level 6 so I have a feeling I've progressed to fast as all the doors and boxes are 50's and my skills are still in their 30s

Still, I'm loving it at the moment, its a bit more running then Fable2 was since you cant just bounce out of anywhere and go back to town. Ammo and money seems very tight but I love the vats system.

No bugs for me so far but I do find it a bit confusing when trying to get to a destination. The quest seems works for the most part but sometimes it basically says "the target is out there, go find them" and thats that.

Right once i have this finished ( then finished again ) and all my other games that are piling up finished ill be looking for a similar type of game what are the recomendations?.

I must add i hate games with magic or spells or any of that nerdy lord of the rings garbage, i got oblivian and thought it was terrible i know lots of people like them but they are just not for me i need guns even futuristic guns are ok just no magic.

Whats the next best one that would suit me im thinking mass effect ?
