Today‘s game is Fallout 3. I really probably shouldn’t have started another game while I was finishing the DLC of Assassin’s Creed 3 and Pokemon Platinum. But I also really wanted to play Fallout 3 recently for some reason. I may not finish it, but that’s fine. I got my fix at least.
I did a fully unarmed build this time. I usually go for guns but this time I wanted to use my fists to punch stuff. It’s lead to some pretty good results, like in the opening it’s really easy to knock out NPCs you aren’t supposed to. For example, Butch here I pummeled into the floor before doing the G.O.A.T.
First thing I did was of course head for Megaton. I disarmed the bomb and collected the house, then got fresh on the trail of Liam Neeson. I stopped for a moment to get a picture to show off my guy, Player Name, and went on my way.
My quest to find Qui-Gon Jinn took me into the metro. I rooted around down there for a while and pummeled some Mole Rats to death. I was about to heal up and head out to find the Player’s dad again, and then the worst tragedy to befall someone in a Bethesda game struck: my game crashed.
I took that as a sign to take a breather. I had been playing for about 2-3 hours now and I should have been getting some air (plus taking care of some work I had to do). Tomorrow I’m gonna try and clear out the DLC of AC3, as I do actually want to keep playing this. It’s been a blast and I know if I add something else to my plate something will get dropped which I want to avoid.
One of the funniest moments in all of gaming for me happened with Butch.
I had him as my follower, kitted him out with T-45 and a Chinese AR with a ton of ammo. Brought him with me into the chaos of the Capitol building. We fought our way through, and when we got to the behemoth, Butch ran out of ammo. He valiantly pulled out his trusty switchblade, and rushed the behemoth.
The behemoth promptly smacked him with his giant hammer-pole, and Butch went sliding across the floor back towards me. As he slid by, I hit
talkand he gave me a “What can the Butch-man do for you?” as if nothing was out of the ordinary. I exited the conversation, and he kept sliding until he hit the wall, when I immediately got the “Butch is dead” popup.He went down valiantly. Though I suspect there must have been a better option than rushing it with a switch blade.
