Arkan Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) Also, having just moved to the DC metro area, it's really weird traveling the the ruins of places I drive by nearly every day. It's really quite surreal. [Edit]Having said that, is it possible to travel to Bethesda, MD? I found the Bethesda Ruins about 3 hours ago. Everyone there is dead now. I was hoping for an easter egg or something, but that's it: Bethesda Ruins with some raiders inside. Too bad. I actually work in Bethesda. That's a shame. I'll be moving there a week from today. Is there anything interesting in the Rosslyn-Courthouse area of Arlington? Anyhow, the developers' offices are actually out in Rockville. You can see the building (with a "Zenimax" sign, which is their parent company) if you drive north on I-270 through the Rockville-Gaithersburg area. Not too familiar with Courthouse/Arlington....other than the usual touristy stuff in Arlington. I actually live in Ashburn, VA, which is about 30 minutes west of DC. Don't make it into Arlington that much. I'm going to have to drive past their building or pay them a visit :D Anyway, back to FO3 after my marathon session yesterday.....

Morgoth Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Does anyone know how I can reach the Museum of Technology? It seems wherever I go, I get blocked by a heap of scrap. Rain makes everything better.
Starwars Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 If you have the quest set to "active", you'll see waypoints on your world map. The different points are subway entries, and you'll need to go through them. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0

Aristes Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 I actually like the subway areas. When I fitst heard about them, I thought of long drudges through monster respawning caves. Nope. The places have a nice layout and I don't have to kill the same monsters every time I pass through a hallway. I'm thinking of making lack of/low rate of respawns a rule for buying computer games. Some games manage to shine with it, but I'm quickly starting to hate the decision in general. None of that non-sense with Fallout 3. Now, some of the areas I've cleared would make sense as a place for a new den of baddies, but if it stays unpopulated in the realistically short time gameworld wise, I'm not going to complain either.
Calax Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 My leg got ripped off by a bear trap. they also have the tripwire activates a gun form of traps too. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Morgoth Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Finally reached the friggin museum. And now I'm overwhelmed by tons of Supermutants. How convenient. Rain makes everything better.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 My leg got ripped off by a bear trap. they also have the tripwire activates a gun form of traps too. No worries, a quick medkit should fix that right up. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Calax Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Finally reached the friggin museum. And now I'm overwhelmed by tons of Supermutants. How convenient. yeah... I had that problem so I had to VATS, run, VATS, Run, and so on and so forth. I could take down about 3 before they caught me... that is until I got frustrated and Fatmaned my way to success.

GreasyDogMeat Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) Possible spoilers. Found a companion called Sticky. I love the companion system in this game. You can pass your buddies any weapon or armor you want as well as take items back and they are actual help. Gave Sticky a 10mm smg and he hasn't shot me once in the back like Ian . Speaking of companions though, I still haven't found Dog Meat. The game just keeps getting better and better. I was afraid the combat would get old fast, like Oblivion, but 15+ hours in and its still a blast, especially with Sticky around to offer covering fire. I haven't laughed, smiled, said 'WOAH' and had this much fun with a game in a long, long time. Can't believe I'm saying that about a Bethesda game of all things. Its like Carrot Top did a stand up routine that brought the house down. Edited November 1, 2008 by GreasyDogMeat
Pop Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Dogmeat is in the junkyard to the East of the Minefield (where the Megaton shopkeep sends you) killing raiders. He's tough. I accidentally shot him in the head with a combat shotgun. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Lare Kikkeli Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 If you want a real explosion, detonate the nuke. It's beautiful. In Megatawn? Yeah. Make a separate save or start an evil character, whatever it takes. Prob. the best explosion in any game ever.

Maria Caliban Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 I found him in something called the Scrapyard. South of Minefield. East of Agatha. West of Weton Armory. North of M.. Station. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
Gorgon Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 I found him near the Germantown police station, I think he's on random, will show up sooner or later. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Gorgon Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 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. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

You rig the bomb, go to Tenpenny Tower and watch the fireworks.
Maria Caliban Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) I wish you could give your companions orders. In the Crysler Building, I had to leave dogmeat outside, as he'd immediately go on a rampage and bring everything in the building over to slaughter us. The building itself is a disappointment. This game has too many dungeons-to-nowhere. You enter a hostile area, and battle your way to the bottom to find Edited November 2, 2008 by Maria Caliban "When is this out.

Dark_Raven Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 The only "companion" I found is Jericho and he won't join because my Karma is too high. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
