Politics

You know this feels an awful lot like when John Kerry was transmogriffed into a waffle. People are stupid, and if you find a caricature that's good enough, it trumps political message every time.

Some weapons work better outside of VATS, most heavy weapons, and all mele weapons, because they consume too many action points. VATS is mostly for sneak shots and splattering heads over the ground, said sneak shots are vastly overpowered compared to anything else. It is NOT go anywhere any time though. The largest urban area has faulty maps and boulders blocking your path, you will be lucky just to guess the right path for your quest, much less go to a station you know where is, but haven't discovered.

I kinda missed chapters, although I suppose that was kinda hard to fit in the pip boy, and overall the 'quest journal' is thankfully free of lengthy prose, a much better solution. Although, to take a recent example, in The Witcher you knew there were 7 chapters and an epilogue, it was right there in the journal. I kinda like having an inkling of how far along I am.

The main quest though, feels like one half of a main quest. A tolerably good opening act that ends after what, 5 or 6 consecutive episodes. Stay away from it until you have had enough of exploring.

Well I finished the game,

Can't post mine, it's a somewhat naked woman.

The usual explanation for something being where it logically shouldn't on a non digital camera is double exposure. I think that's supposed to be clear sky, and the log an alien ship.

There seems to be a theory that they are optical illusions created by the earth's magnetic field.

The honor killing thing is a middle eastern and Asian tradition, and throwing acid as a form of vengeance or punishment is mostly found in India. I hope we can acknowledge these things without worrying about appearing racist. Surely one does not need to explain that not every Asian or Afghan tosses around acid whenever he gets pissed.

What is it with throwing acid. Indians throw car battery acid around rather generously as well, on cheating wives and such. It's a sick ****ing world we live in.

He is the only source of alien power cells once you run out. Well there's one other spot guarded by enclave, can't find it on my second playthrough though.

...and only savages and smelly euros burn coal anyway, we swedes have our hydroplants and maybe an nuclear or two on the border towards denmark (which we intentionally keep in poor condition to keep the smelly danes on their toes) The Baresebek plant was closed wasn't it. Anyway was sort of a recurring nightmare from my childhood that the bloody Swedes would screw up and send radioactive clouds over Copenhagen.

My dad told me he saw one on his way home from giving a lecture once. He was in a cab at the time, and the driver chased it around for an hour trying to get closer, eventually it just disappeared. Supposedly a disk shape, right out of the UFO myths. Another person I know told me he had been visited by little green men at night, with a straight face and all. I believe that they believed they saw an alien ship. Hippies have active imaginations, and there seems to have been a dramatic drop off in sightings from the next generation on.

The UN has some kind of deal on nuclear fuel making it much cheaper to buy than develop the technology on your own, and it's not that many places that have suitable isotopes as a natural resource anyway. I don't know what the potential for dirty bombs are with this, but I imagine it would constitute a security risk, and would have to have remote sensors and active monitoring to avoid it falling into the wrong hands. With nuclear power it's always the question of the lesser evil. It's certainly preferable to large scale coal or other organic fuels, provided you can keep the radiation out of the water supply. That's a real issue if you think a few decades ahead. There is no guarantee that there will always be an efficient organisation to monitor the status of spent nuclear fuel.

I Believe the publishers are Atari.

'Toshiba says the reactor will make power available for as little as 5 cents' And the companies who invest in one will make sure consumers pay what they always have. The power industry has a long track record of cartels and underhand deals.

What they use to power nuclear subs is about the size of a stove. I guess a little, well a lot, of extra lead is needed for the home environment.

As I said, they had a plan to kill everyone in the tower.

I mean a gritty rather than harmless atmosphere. The game is a bit overrepresented in cute and cuddly. Often you are the only mean bastard in the dialogues. is one of the few examples, the rest are merely comic, or have no purpose other than to shoot at you. Too bad I Killed whatshisface who wanted me to blow up megaton. Hearing him say 'misunderstanding' gave me the giggles, and reminded me of the 'the dark brotherhood' questline in Oblivion, same voice actor, exact same delivery. I do love the voice of president Eden though, Malcom McDowell aced that one.

Yeah that was stupid, the ghouls clearly said they wanted to kill all the inhabitants. Tenpenny tower wanted to be rid of them. Lesser of two evils, since I could find no way to compromise or had too little in speech, was to kill the ghouls. Massacre avoided right, no, you get negative Karma.

I found I had to uninstall the thing, knowing just how easy it is to start the game instead of the work I'm supposed to be doing. Anyway this is a step up for Bethesda. A few things I wanted to see but didn't. 1. A More adult approach, the 'all ages' idea leaves the game too sanitized and lacking in some areas, and no I'm not talking about porn. Take the silly super villain quests as a for instance. Yes the overall design of Fallout is cartoonish, but not the Walt Disney kind. 2. I don't know if this is a limitation of the engine, as to how many actors can be in play at once, but a proper city. New Reno size. 3. Less generic content. The DC metro and sewers are the same level 30 times over, it gets very repetitive. I can think of a few things to spruce the monotony up just off the top of my head. 4. More challenging combat. I suppose the non existent enemy AI is at fault here as well, would be nice to see them try to flank you or cut you off.

I used to crawl around on the rooftops when I was little, a whole block of apartments had interconnected roofs and you could venture out there to do a full circuit. Plenty of treacherous climbs on the way. My mom never found out or I would have been in so much trouble. When vertigo hits you you it's like a terrifying mescaline trip that lasts 30 seconds. I guess high rise builders eventually just get immune.

I started another game and I plan on seeing it through to the end of the main quest. The metro areas are a real hassle, the quest markers don't seem to work. Instead of pointing you in the right direction they tend to mislead you. So far getting around has been trial and error and ignoring the quest markers.
