The official UV FO3 *SPOILERS* thread - you've been warned

[Doombot]

For those having strength problems:

There's a quest called "Those!" (you'll get the pun when you see what you're doing) and the reward is choice of injection that increases your strength or your perception by one.

Oh... that'll come in handy!

I was listening to Galaxy Radio earlier while heading towards the Washington Monument and couldn't help but smile when "Maybe" played over the radio.

As a side note, the Museum of Technology is well worth a visit. One of the quests takes you there anyway, but it's a lovely thing to see.

I have it now!

But - and dont look if you havent noticed this already - I'm a little peeved that I think they spoil the game in the last line of the Intro in the game manual - I read it and immediately became 99% sure of the end twist :/

Anyway, I have had a tutorial from Jeff on Skype so I'm off to shoot my BB gun

[Pipboy 2000]

It would be nice... if it didn't crash every time I saved.

[Petrarch]

Anyone tried the Fatman yet?

Absolutely not something to be used in close quarters but it'll cream whatever it hits pronto.

The It Was All A Dream Twist Ending?

[Jeff]

Surprise alien abduction and sex-change.

Yep. Probably got it and used it in the same place as you and on the same thing as you.   

PS - I broke down and got the extra weight perk. It's coming in very handy.

BTW, all of you still fairly early into the game should save any pre-war books you find. You'll thank me later.  I was finding them all over early on but they were too bulky to keep in large numbers and didn't appear to serve a purpose at the time. Stupid game fooled Brugdor.  :beadyeyes:

I just had a walk through the national archives, now I've to haul ass down to the Library to finish that quest in the manner of my choosing.

Thus far I've discovered the minigun isn't that good against robots while using VATS.

I haven't found it useful at all really but then I didn't invest many points into Big Guns. The stuff that doesn't require accuracy like the Fat Man or the Missile Launcher is fine though.

[Petrarch]

I've got big guns at 100 now and I'm not impressed with the damage the minigun is putting out with VATS.

Going for Big Guns has possibly been a mistake and I'm thinking energy weapons would have been better.

[Sandru]

Cujo and I got the special edition and have been playing it rabidly, this game is so brilliant and engrossing!

I found dogmeat! I WIN THE WASTELAND!    /puts the rocket launcher away and saves alot, killed poochy too many times lol

I've tried using the mini gun but it puts out crap dmg but I also don't have any real apptitude in the big guns skill.

I did however take the lady killer perk, it's only been usefull 2 times (once in mechton, once doing The Family stuff) though I just got to GNR and am making my way towards the museum.

wtb power armor training ><

Just found out what you meant - and the odds of my remembering where I've seen the pre-war books scattered about so far are fairly remote.

I went back to Minefield and that school near the vault. I knew I had had some and dropped them somewhere after I had to make room. I found 9.

Oh and stuff you need to either gather or make note of for the Railway gun - Fission batteries, crutches, pressure cookers, steam gauge assemblies? (need to double check that last one).

Edit - I think I missed some huge part of the story. I haven't run into the stuff that's been mentioned here about residents attacking each other and I haven't seen any sign of the story arc where I'm supposed to decide whether to blow up Megaton. However I have assassins showing up every now and then that try to kill me. They have notes on them that tell me who the contract holder is and I imagine it's the guy that has you blow up Megaton. I'm not sure though. *shrug* They drop nice armor for me anyway. It's DR22 and I'm wearing it in the pics I posted in the other FO3 thread.

[The SysMan]

Heh. I legged it from the raiders that came back. My gun was broken and I wasnt about to fight raiders with laser pistols with a baby 10mm pistol.
Grenade took off my leg, but a stimpack made it all better
Also, I saved the sherrif by standing right next to captain bastard and hitting vats as soon as he went for his gun. Head, chest, head, head. Didn't need all the shots though as the second headshot was a critial that popped his head like a melon
Sherrif gave me some shiny karma for that... which I promptly wasted by accidentally stealing something
I'm still only level 3. I'm taking it slow as I'm still playing WoW and its easy to stop playing WoW and go to bed while fallout means I'm up until 4am :T
I'll save it for the weekend.
