There are just so many things you have to own in order to have any chance of becoming president, that no socialist is ever going to get there. Death Penalty, and broad unsubstantiated statements like 'socialized healthcare doesn't work', to name a few. Yes it works dumbass, Americans just don't want it.

FO 2 didn't have any children at all for that same reason, if you patched them back, you could blow their brains out. Although with FO 3 graphics, that is heads popping left and right like mellons, it would have been several miles over the top. People complain of the lack of sex with hookers. I agree that the game as a whole looks way too sanitized, the griminess of New Reno is nowhere to be found. Now personally I would have been satisfied with nudity, in game preferably. I mean what else are you going to do, a 'minigame'. Move the mouse for vector, CTRL for throttle... Don't think so.

I can't get myself to care when a celebrity dies, unless it's Gandhi or Nelson Mandela or something. Well, I was kinda nonplussed when Mother Theresa bought it as well. This is normal guys, people die all the time. 66 is only 5 years short of the male median living age.

The game benefits from a proper sound card. These days many people make do with on board sound chips, but they usually don't handle directional audio on multiple channels that well. First thing to do is to run directx setup and update sound drivers. Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I honestly don't know how to do that. Anyway, I'm not the only person having this problem. Over on the Bethesda boards, several others are too. It's really a game breaker since the music is blasting constantly and I cannot hear anything else. Someone said they got relief by setting the wave output on Vista to direct sound. Unfortunately, I have XP and yep, I don't know how to do that either. I'm kind of hopeless... Well, first step is to find out what you have, that should be listed in the control panel under System > Hardware > Control Panel. Navigate to audio devices, that should tell you the name of the device. Then it's off to do a driver search. With any luck there will be something available to download. After installing that launch Directx setup, that can be found on the game disk itself, or on microsoft.com. ... and after all that it's entirely possible that it won't solve the audio issue after all. Worth a shot though.

If you cripple a limb that is already crippled it ought to kill the target.

Mission based doesn't count.

What a pathetic mythos, and they seem to have spent time and effort on it as well. I suppose it might be appealing if you are like, 13 years old and confused.

Let me just say this straight up, I like FO3... right. The Animations in FO3 are down right bloody ****! They're absolutely CACK! That's not just a matter of opinion, it's all really poor animation, the only time anything begins to look good is when the physics takes over for a corpse... Walk cycles, reloads, the whole lot, absolute amatur tripe. I still think the game is awesome mind, but the idea anyone could actually comment on the animation scares me... And don't get me started on the rendering, and artwork. Basically the game is "Technically" an absolute turd. I don't think it has head tracking, and you do look very mannequin-ish when you observe you character doing something from head on. Same as every Bethesta Game though, it's certainly not worse than Oblivion, and it looks quite fine in the usual over the shoulder mode. You don't notice the lack of variety so much. There are no idle animations either, well some of the NPCs smoke cigarettes or hold cups, but that's about it.

I dunno, you sure that isn't a fake entry, that just sounds too stupid.

yup. Although comparing 1 and 2 to 3, is apples and oranges.

Reduces stats. I'm done with this game for now, exploring was fun, I put way too many hours into it over the last few days. Like every Bethesda game, the main quest is mostly an unwelcome distraction. The combat was fun mostly, but the AI isn't exactly stellar.

I guess insects freak people out because they are completely devoid of higher thought or emotion, ruthless efficient killers. Giant Asian Hornet. If one bites you you better have a syringe of adrenaline handy. One bite is all it takes, and these are hornets, they can chew on you all day and not get tired.

Finally found a UFO and an alien blaster. Almost twice the damage of the android lazer rifle. Is that the dart gun or the slingshot that shoots rails in the middle. I never found any schematics other than what you can buy, plus the shish kebab. One of the caravans had a ripper though.

Gas leaks. I think it came from when I was living in an apartment with an old school pilot light. You know one of those, if it malfunctions everyone would die in their sleep deals.

You can get it for free, but it is a bit of a pain to install, and all the new material is 1,3 gigs total. Still a problem for some.

I wandered into what I thought was the usual raider camp, turned out to be a small town complete with a swapmeat, bar, and brothel, and one of those mutant giants imprisoned in electric fencing. Kind disappointed I had to kill the whole town. Would have preferred to be able to trade there. While I'm 'what if-ing', they could have put an arena in there too, maybe a cinema, thunderdome, whatever, for the full mad max effect. Thats what I would have liked to see in a slaver and raider town.

Spoil me on where I can find the scematic for the rail gun pls.

Anyone found alien blasters. I found a little ammo for them, no guns.

I see. Well, I agree that after a while everything gets very 'two mudcrabs and a pile of bonedust', particularly the DC train stations. In the beginning there's lots of scripted encounters like saving big town, as the game goes on they become less and less frequent. I started just sneaking through stations long ago.

I just swam all the way to rivet city to avoid the battles, and I find the damn place locked. What a ripoff. I guess finding the key is somehow related to the main quest.

I found him near the Germantown police station, I think he's on random, will show up sooner or later.
