  1. Damn it, I hate it when a raider is after me and I fall off a bridge, I have to walk through the wastelands again.

    1. @miloth Mhm...I hate it when you just don;t see that drop till its heading upwards past your field of vision (while you head to an imminent date with the ground

      Saturday, 30-Jul-11 12:40:16 UTC from web
      1. @captlynch yeah, I just don't know how to get to these houses, without falling of the bridge, because there is no safe way down. Walking through the lake of acid or whatever it is is not an option, including during a fall out.

        1. @miloth where exactly are you? I've more or less gone through the entirety of fallout + DLC's so maybe I can help a little

          Saturday, 30-Jul-11 12:42:46 UTC from web
          1. @captlynch I'm on my way to arefu from megaton to deliver lucy's message to her family.

            Saturday, 30-Jul-11 12:44:14 UTC from web
            1. @miloth don;t worry too much about the water then unless it has mirelurks living in it...avoid the bridges...one of them has a major raider outpost on it...with at least one flamer raider and a bazooka...apart from that, you'll only really have wildlife issues intil you get to the location...if you do meet a mirelurk...best weapon is a V.A.T.S shot with a shotgun or automatic to the eye

              Saturday, 30-Jul-11 12:46:31 UTC from web
              1. @captlynch okay.

                Saturday, 30-Jul-11 12:48:13 UTC from web
                1. @miloth if you have also discovered big town, be careful near the lake on the outskirts...a few raiders have set up near the dock...it might be worth attacking them though as their camp has some decent ammo and weapons present

                  Saturday, 30-Jul-11 12:49:30 UTC from web
    2. @miloth almost as bad as when you go on a really difficult mission but find something awesome...then accidently blow yourself up with a grenade and have to start all over and not find the really awesome thing again.

      Saturday, 30-Jul-11 12:40:38 UTC from web
      1. @madflavors yeah.

        Saturday, 30-Jul-11 12:42:10 UTC from web
        1. @miloth moral of the story....when you kill Allister Tenpenny make sure that his body doesn't go over the side of the balcony or else you lose his sniper rifle.

          Saturday, 30-Jul-11 12:45:27 UTC from web
          1. @madflavors okay.

            Saturday, 30-Jul-11 12:46:12 UTC from web
          2. @madflavors @miloth also...wait till you are doing 'gotta shoot them in the head' beforehand...then you actuaslly get caps for doing it

            Saturday, 30-Jul-11 12:52:47 UTC from web
            1. @captlynch so, is it a bad idea if i'm barely level 3, to be out here?

              Saturday, 30-Jul-11 13:06:15 UTC from web
              1. @miloth I usually complete the megaton quests first and get the house set up...L5 is the earliest I recommend setting out...the wasteland survival guide missions are good for lvling up

                Saturday, 30-Jul-11 13:09:05 UTC from web
                1. @captlynch ah, okay. What house set up?

                  Saturday, 30-Jul-11 13:10:06 UTC from web
                  1. @miloth diffuse the megaton bomb and you get given a house to store your spare gear, weapons and other things

                    Saturday, 30-Jul-11 13:14:02 UTC from web
                    1. @captlynch @captlynch oh right, too bad I don't have high enough explosives skill to disarm it.

                      Saturday, 30-Jul-11 13:19:02 UTC from web
                      1. @miloth use a mentat...that is usually enough

                        Saturday, 30-Jul-11 13:19:28 UTC from web
                        1. @captlynch mentat? Sorry, I'm new, and while swimming through the river to find a kid, I found the mirelurk, and i'm scared kiwiless.

                          Saturday, 30-Jul-11 13:21:19 UTC from web
                          1. @miloth if you found any mentats they will be in the aid catagory of your inventory

                            Saturday, 30-Jul-11 13:22:10 UTC from web
                            1. @captlynch okay, and the milurk doesn't seem that bad, I killed it with my police baton.

                              Saturday, 30-Jul-11 13:23:17 UTC from web
                              1. @miloth mirelurk*

                                Saturday, 30-Jul-11 13:23:25 UTC from web
                              2. @miloth cool...be careful with mentats...don;t use them too much as they are one of the 'addictive' items

                                Saturday, 30-Jul-11 13:24:00 UTC from web
                                1. @captlynch ah, okay. Anything else you want to tell me about?

                                  Saturday, 30-Jul-11 13:26:14 UTC from web
                                  1. @miloth Nothing much else...have a useful site that could help you out...with things like locations, unique weapons and armor and the like if you want it

                                    Saturday, 30-Jul-11 13:27:17 UTC from web
                                    1. @captlynch okay, but is it bad if I ratted out on this one shady guy who had plans to blow up the town and told lucas and both of them died?

                                      Saturday, 30-Jul-11 13:40:22 UTC from web
                                      1. @miloth not really...you don;t get a karma hit...the mission waypoint will re-route to his son who gives you the bomb reward (AFTER you diffuse it of course) and you can tae the sherrifs duster and his chinese assault rifle

                                        Saturday, 30-Jul-11 13:42:53 UTC from web
                                        1. @captlynch okay, I figured that out by going to his house.

                                          Saturday, 30-Jul-11 13:44:38 UTC from web
                                          1. @miloth the duster itselfs pretty useful...has a gun boost to it...also...there is a bobblehead in the sheriffs house

                                            Saturday, 30-Jul-11 13:46:00 UTC from web
                                            1. @captlynch okay.

                                              Saturday, 30-Jul-11 13:53:19 UTC from web
                                            2. @captlynch wait, where can I find Mentats?

                                              Saturday, 30-Jul-11 14:16:25 UTC from web
                                              1. @miloth they're inside most ruins...sold by a few medical vendors...check desks, med kits...just go loot crazy and you'll berolling in them in no time

                                                Saturday, 30-Jul-11 14:17:40 UTC from web
                                                1. @captlynch okay, will do. Thanks.

                                                  Saturday, 30-Jul-11 14:21:11 UTC from web
                                                  1. @miloth best locations are the old stores in the hamlets surrounding megaton...there are a few inside the springvale school as well...but that place is full of raiders...nothing you will struggle with unless you aggro all of them...but enough for caution

                                                    Saturday, 30-Jul-11 14:22:56 UTC from web
                                                    1. @captlynch it shall be done, in the name of SCIENCE!

                                                      Saturday, 30-Jul-11 14:23:50 UTC from web
                                                      1. @miloth http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Portal:Fallout_3 whill will help too...if anything....work on getting the components for the dart gun...you'll find dozens of darts...and just one shot from this bad boy can cripple a deathclaws speed, allowing you to finihs it at your leisure or run away

                                                        Saturday, 30-Jul-11 14:25:13 UTC from web
                                                        1. @captlynch okay.

                                                          Saturday, 30-Jul-11 14:27:17 UTC from web
                                                          1. @miloth remember...SCIENCE IS MAGIC

                                                            Saturday, 30-Jul-11 14:37:52 UTC from web
                                                            1. @captlynch these raiders are suicidal. YEP SCIENCE IS MAGIC, I should add to my science skill later on.

                                                              Saturday, 30-Jul-11 14:39:25 UTC from web
                                                              1. @miloth mhm...three best skills are lockpick, SCIENCE and repair...add the points each level with 5 to each...and shove any leftovers into energy weapons...you'll be picking up alot of energy weapons later on in the story

                                                                Saturday, 30-Jul-11 14:41:17 UTC from web

                                                                  Saturday, 30-Jul-11 14:42:28 UTC from web

                                                                    Saturday, 30-Jul-11 14:45:14 UTC from web

                                                                      Saturday, 30-Jul-11 14:46:53 UTC from web
                                                                  2. @miloth at lvl 3, its nowhere near too late...also do intensive training to add to strength...more strength = more carry capacity..reason I recommedn those 3 skills is that every 25 points on lockpick n SCIENCE allows you to decode another level of lock/computer hack...and the higher the repair means the better you can do DIY weapon/armor repair...saving you precious caps for other things...LIKE BULLET SCIENCE

                                                                    Saturday, 30-Jul-11 14:45:21 UTC from web

                                                                      Saturday, 30-Jul-11 14:46:43 UTC from web
                                                                  3. @miloth I put most of my skills into those and didn't have any trouble. Energy weapons is probably statistically optimal, but the game is by no means hard with other stuff.

                                                                    Saturday, 30-Jul-11 14:55:00 UTC from web

                                                                      Saturday, 30-Jul-11 14:56:02 UTC from web

                                                                        Saturday, 30-Jul-11 14:58:47 UTC from web

                                                                          Saturday, 30-Jul-11 15:00:44 UTC from web

                                                                            Saturday, 30-Jul-11 15:02:40 UTC from web
                                          2. @miloth for strength I think
