Killian Kalthorne Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Damn you people. I really need to wait to buy this game. Please stop talking about it. You know, Bloody Messis a interesting perk to pick up. Especially if you are using energy weapons or Big Guns.

Spider Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 With the difficulty cranked up to "very high" I got killed a couple of times during the tutorial. Also a bit due to not using VATS enough. So for me, it's not that easy. Not exactly hard either and I don't think I'd die if I played it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Raven Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Its kind of funny to complain about the introduction/tutorial in FO3, when FO2 had one of the worst in history. I know far too many people who never made it past the temple with the ants in, I was one of them for many years actually. That would be because you suck. Hell I think Hades made it through that flawlessly. Just don't mention that werewolf thingy. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

Dark_Raven Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 It could have been a little tougher. However I found it far more entertaining than FO1 and FO2 tutorial level.There's a tutorial in Fallout 1 and 2, doen't it just jump right into the story? Its more or less a mini tutorial. Teaches you the basics of combat and lockpicking. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaultman Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Really? Hes blasting the game because the TUTORIAL is "too easy". Seriously? Dont want to maybe invest an hour before you decide the game sucks? Ill admit to having a quick trigger too but thats wrt performance, not whether the level 1 punching bags in the tutorial are too easy. The problem is one of consistancy, where you can easily beat up a whole bunch of people and kill the Overseer without even breaking a sweat, this with the player character being a level 1 weakling (and using skills that the character is rather weak in to start with). And why on earth should tutorials be so easy that you can basically kill enemies (full-grown humans with weapons) by sneezing at them. I don't see what's wrong with his complaints so far. And hell, in his second post there's some positive stuff as well and he says that it looks like it'll be a better game than Oblivion. Just to clarify. I posted my impressions, not a review. I commented that the entire vault 101 area was ridiculously easy and didn't seem logical. A kid shouldn't be able to kill everyone and just walk out, especially after the girl tells you that even with a gun you can't handle all the security guards. Generously giving me high to hit chance with a weapon I'm not skilled with seemed odd as well. You say it's a tutorial? Ok. a) What does it teach you? Does it teach me the importance of skills? Does it motivate me to play in the manner fitting my skills? b) Who says that tutorials should be easy? I thought they should show you game's concepts and teach you how to use various skills, not show you how much fun it is to play in the god mode, pwning everyone. Yes, the Temple of Trials was horrible, but what does that have to do with anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkan Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 So I'm running around through the character creation still...and I don't know if it's the bloom or HDR or whatever, but I don't like the trend of new games having that "glow" to them? What's the purpose of it? It doesn't make it look any "better" only give the world a "dreamy" quality to it, if that makes any sense. "Of course the people don't want war.

Aristes Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 You know, I noticed the same glowy thing in the area outside the vault. It kind of looks like they did it on purpose to show a sort of stark, radioactive landscape. Inside Megaton isn't so bad and I haven't had time to play today so far. I'm looking forward to getting back to the game, though. I've just discovered something in the mainplotline.

Arkan Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I believe you can turn bloom off. Yeah, I see where you can in the options, but why bloom to begin with? It gives everything this blurry haze. "Of course the people don't want war.

mkreku Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I must say I agree with Arkan on this. Why even use bloom when all it does it make things look like they're smeared in glowing vaseline? Anyhow: I'm up to three bobbleheads now! I'm usually not too fond of collectibles in games (except for platform games and such), but I must say I really enjoy finding these extremely rare bobbleheads. Who would have imagined that a collectible item would work in a serious RPG? Not me! Oh, and to those who say the game is too easy, wait until you run into one of these: Granted, I am low level still (only got the game yesterday), but my combat shotgun barely scratched him. And he only had to hit me twice with that post of his for me to be a goner. And he's fast! Sorry about the crappy picture of the Behemoth, by the way.

mkreku Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Run along the main quest to get to GNN, you meet with some BOS and get a fatman. Yeah. I'm not touching the main quest yet. I only entered Megaton at the very beginning and from there on it's been all exploring for me. I'm having a blast just running around in the wasteland looking at things. Four bobbleheads now. I also found a unique (I think?) weapon: Victory rifle, a sniper rifle that does more damage. I really should get back to the main quest soon though. I need to find that dog everyone's talking about.
