Numerous topics on fallout exist already, why do we need an official topic? We expect a lot of discussion in the days leading up to the release of Fallout 3. This thread is here for general discussion, assertions of glee, unrealistic expectations, questions about killable children, and unfounded complaints.

Please check out the wikipedia page before asking a question that may have already been answered.

Discussion rules:

  • Please avoid discussing spoilers in this thread until the street date is here, that includes users who've received early pre-orders (earliest release is midnight in North America on October 28).
  • Please keep all your spoilers, no matter how small, within spoiler tags.
  • In the interests of keeping us from repeating ourselves over and over again, make sure you read the other posts in this thread before asking a question.

G.O.A.T? (thanks: Sgt. Giggles)

Those of you who played Fallout 3, what did you get on your GOAT?

Nice, I believe we did the same thing with GTA4, no?

And just to play devil's advocate here; first ;3

Fallout 3 has a portable nuke launcher.

With that in mind I pre-ordered this game in a second.

We did, it worked well and kept the number of "I just got the game!" threads down.

Fallout 3 has a slingshot that shoots nukes, no?

Fallout 3 looks like it's gonna be amazing, shame I'm saving for Left 4 Dead.
My computer wouldn't run it too well, either. I think. Can anyone estimate how a Radeon X1600 Pro would do?

It looks great, and I love that it's first person, but becuase it's also an RPG, I just can't bring myself to buy it. I am just really bad at managing stats and upgrades.

This game is one of the few games that I needed to pre-order right away for fear of not being able to just buy it on release day. I'm really hoping this game lives up to the hype.

I'm looking forward to it, but I don't know that I'll have enough money/time to get it until a couple of weeks after release.

Thanks Wilson.

I'll seed some discussion. Does anyone else think that Fallout 3 won't connect with the player emotionally? I don't think it'll be on par with Mass Effect, but more on a GTA4 level. The reason I say this is because

Thoughts?

Also, who's preordered Fallout 3? I paid my order off yesterday. Now I just have to play the waiting game.

Hell No, but go to the EB in Carrilon City and they'll sort you out. Tell them that James sent you. They don't actually know who I am, but do it anyway.

The thing that tipped me over the edgewas when I saw a gameplay video where the guy playing pickpocketed a zombie and as well as taking all his shit, slipped a primed grenade into his pocket then watched him explode.

Pre-order's in the bag, and I don't even have to pay in advance. Webstores are awesome! I normally fail to see the point of getting Collector's Editions, but come on, a Vault-tec lunchbox? I want it!

In other thoughts, whoever thought the Megaton series were spoilers should probably open their minds a little. That is just one of many ways of approaching the quest. That was not THE solution to end all solutions, so to speak. Honestly, I don't see the problem.

(Besides, using that nuke is far too tempting...)

Mmmmm... I love bethesda, and since I've never played Fallout before (yeah, shun me) I expect this to be a great game. Particularily looking forward to the "stuff launcher", teddybears!

I preordered it and in response to your statement about the megaton decision: There's also a third way it can be handled, you can join a bomb worshiping cult and detonate and get no bad karma because you believe it was god's will. At least that's what it seemed like

I want this game so bad it hurts me loins. Must have Fall Out 3. I need to install virtual machine with Windows 98 on it so I can play my old copies of Fallout 1 & 2 too keep me tided over. Both those games HATE XP x64.

I loved the first two, and yet I started having inexplicable doubts recently. Then I watched a vid in which the player pickpocketed an unwitting fellow and planted a live grenade on him. Needless to say, my doubts were promptly alleviated.

Because one little gameplay feature remained unchanged?

Because, I suspect, the spirit of the first two games are a live and well in the third iteration. Even though the system of gameplay is so different the world of Fallout is in this new game in spades.

The game play videos where the guy decapitated some guy with a power-fist thing was awesome.
That, and the gun that shoots railroad spikes. RAILROAD SPIKES!

I've pre-ordered Fallout 3, but I'm not sure if I'll go pay for the rest and buy it. Purely because I thought Oblivion was crap, which worries me.

I did love Fallout 1 & 2.

There's a BFG9000 sort of weapon in every game nowadays.

Every gun in that game was a BFG9000, They had a gun that shot Shurikens, Lightning, and Heat-seeking needles.
