TBH, I dont know exactly where, I only know of it from reading the Beth forums. I do know its directly underneath one of the bouys, just swim out to it and then swim to the bottom.

Oh, you went there.

Oh, you went there.

 

What? it's in the design documents of the canceled games, they'll implement in some way in the future. Hell they already took ideas from FOBOS 1 & 2, tactics, etc.

Hah, was just kidding, thought you were going with the VB idea being looney as a witty jab :D

I guess you haven't played Broken Steel yet.

I don't care what you guys say, I don't want called shots to the groin!

Right, eye shots are funnier.

Pansy, real men DEFEND THEIR FAMILIES WITH THEIR BALLS.

 

SUCK IT UP!

I don't care what you guys say, I don't want called shots to the groin!

 

on a total serious note...not just the "lol, groin. teh funneh!"

 

 

but...really? you don't see the benefit of that? like, it's a pretty standard move in self-defense fighting. and i felt like FO handled it well with it's roll chance to make the opponent crumble to the ground or get the wind knocked out of them.

With how much Bethesda was going for over the top, like all the blood and body explosions (which thankfully can be modded out) you would think that they would have included groin shots. *boggle*

I've played very little of it, and from the looks of things I won't be continuing until I get my room back in order (scraping wallpaper and painting is fun.)

scraping wallpaper and painting is fun.

 

about as fun as a Bethesda game (counts hours until Bethesda implements scraping wallpaper as an activity in their games).

New trailer for the DLC. Hits August 3rd.

During the trailer it looks like the person (or atleast one of them) 'from earth's past' is a cowboy, though if its supposed to be someone of fame or not (Billy the Kid, etc)... dunno.

Bad karma ending = use Death Star to destroy Earth?

every crucial npc is knocked unconcious until they wake up in a void doomed to float through nothingness for eternity

That's no way to treat children.

Word on the street is that Zeta is as awful as I predicted. Further proof that people need to listen to me more.

Downloading now, will give feedback later.

Where Mothership Zeta really falls down is the complete lack of inspiration in the mission design. Generally you can rely on Bethesda to intelligently weave complex scenarios around practically anything, with the key characters each having their own specific agenda. Once you've taken in the situation, it's entirely down to your own moral leanings as to which direction you decide to take any given mission. Never quite knowing who is really the good guy, or the least bad guy has made for some thrilling missions in past Bethesda games (and past DLC), but none of that applies here. At best, you can rope in some characters to help kick arse, but for the most part you're reduced to the most soulless of gameplay tasks - breaking machines by pressing buttons.

 

With repetitive, largely uninspired corridor combat, and boring, linear and samey mission design, the least you'd hope is that there would be some supplementary side quests to extend the lifespan - but not so. Having delivered five main quests, five side-quests and three unmarked quests in the vast Point Lookout expansion, to follow that up with such a limited DLC pack is curious. Throughout its programme of downloadable releases, it felt like Bethesda was learning and improving its output. But having started poorly with Operation: Anchorage, it concludes Fallout 3 in equally disappointing fashion.

 

Oh my!
