The one that is being held prisoner.

That is the one at

evergreen mills

, right?

 

From you description I think you're missing the one in

the capitol building.

 

 

@CrashGirl

Weapons degrade faster when you use VATS, in case you didn't know. The repair system sorta evens out in the later levels of the game i.e. 15+. Unless you use a sniper rifle in VATS, which you shouldn't

 

There is a mod that allows you to use similar weapons to repair each other and also one that allows you to use scrap metal.

Duh I forgot that one. Yeah I got all of them.

[J.E. Sawyer]

If I play this game again, I am so adding a mod to slow down weapon degradation speed. It is absolutely proposterous.

 

Following Di's advice I went down into DC and did the stuff for three dog to help him get his signal running again. Despite going into the quest with an almost perfect condition combat shotgun and three lower condition spares in inventory for reparing, the weapon was almost useless from degradation long before I finished the quest.

 

 

The repair system wouldn't be so bad if you could repair a weapon with any other weapon, but as it stands now, it is just annoying.

 

Its much worse than System Shock 2, which I didn't really believe was possible.

The combat shotgun has a relatively low condition for how often you fire it. I usually stick with hunting rifles/Ol' Painless. There are hunting rifles all over the place.

[Guest PoziomyPion]

Hunting Rifles aside, does anyone know how to create character without those white patches on face, which are especially visible if you make your character more dark skinned?

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Actually, you can simply find any other shotgun and use it to fix your primary shotgun. I do this all the time with the good old "Terrible Shotgun", which is awesome BTW. At least, that's how the repair skill works on the 360 and it works alright.

Sure, but the question is how often you're finding replacement shotguns, which depends on what you're fighting. I found that if you're only using them situationally (e.g., when a mirelurk is all up in your grill), you'll probably find enough to keep yours in respectable condition in most areas. But if the shotgun is your weapon of choice in combat generally, it's going to rust to pieces in your hands pretty often.

As soon as I needed to repair my Lincoln Repeater, that stopped being true. I blame Todd Howard.

[CoM_Solaufein]

Majority of the simple Super Mutants have them.

 

I installed that mod that slows done the degrade on the weapons. Much more realistic than what the game has.

Gamers are claiming that Fallout 3 DLC the Pitt - released this morning - is suffering from some serious bugs.

 

 

[CoM_Solaufein]

My character is a little on the evil side. Three Dog is talking trash about her. I'm going to have to pay him a visit and pop a cap in his ass.

 

 

Would be nice if this game had a higher level than 20. I reached that before I did half of the stuff in the game.

There's mods for that. I'm only level 10 and have been playing for many many hours. I don't undersatnd why anyone would stick with the default leveling scheme if they can use mods.

[mkreku]

By the way, did anyone buy The Pitt? If so, how is it? I'm seriously considering buying it..

Are there mods that let you go higher than level 20? I thought there where just one's that slow down your leveling.

[alanschu]

I think that's what she's talking about.

[Slowtrain]

I think that's what she's talking about.

 

 

Correct.

 

 

There isn't much point to having more than the default 20 levels really as far as I can see, unless you really have a fetish for having everything maxed out.

 

But the leveling SPEED is out of control in the unmodded version. Unless, I suppose, you are more interested in just hitting max level as fast as possible rather than enjoying yourself along the way. I'm definitely in the latter category.

 

 

SO I like to slooooowwww it all down as much as possible.

[Hurlshort]

One of the biggest issues is that the harder the difficulty, the faster you level. That was a huge Bethesda brain fart right there.

[Volourn]

Finally bought this game last week on the relative cheap as promised; but have yet to even start it. Manual looks good though so kudos to Bethesda for that.

Ah that is why I'm leveling quicker in this new game I started. I set the difficulty to hard and I seem to be leveling up quicker.

Unexpected, this is.

 

I would be curious to know what you think. Please feel free to post your thoughts and reflections, if you feel so inclined.

[Volourn]

"Unexpected, this is."

 

Why is it unexpected? I stated, quite clearly, IIRC that I was waiting until I could get it cheap(er) before buying it. So, in fact, it shouldn't be unexpected that i would do EXACTLY what I said I would do. L0L

 

And, oh, I plan to post my thoughts about it eventually.

lol. I didn't think you'd actually bother doing it though.

 

I still remember your reaction to Morrowind after you have it a try years ago. I figured you'd never actually play a Bethesda game again.

Well I've been playing around with The Pitt DLC, I didn't get it but a friend did and I have her copy of Fallout 3 on my external hard-drive at the moment, and it is, so far, extremely well done - if you got the last DLC this one blows it away.

 

[Pidesco]

I like how the intro to Fallout 3 sticks very closely to the format of F1 and 2's intros while completely missing the point at the same time.

lol.

 

That goes for the whole game.

 

Really, though, you can't compare them. Even though Fallout 3 is fun; it's not even playing in the same league with Fallout 1 and 2.

 

I'm hoping that for Fallout 4, Bethesda simplay eliminates dialogue all together and just does what they now seem to do best: create a goofy world to explore.

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Playing a lot reveals the more broken side of FO3. Especially if you do quests the "evil" way, which usually includes killing important people.

 

Which is a big problem when quests get bugged.
