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.
I always accept the job from Burke to blow up Megaton. Then rat him out to the Sheriff. Burke kills the sheriff while I don't intervene. I kill Burke, and I get a good early Chinese Assault Rifle and duster and hat.
I'm the Sheriff now, bitches...
You can then disarm the bomb and claim the house by talking to the dead sheriff's son.
(I tried to then mes and get his son into a slave collar, but he was immune, which was a pity)
Every time I do the quest I tell myself “okay. This time I’m going to be evil” and every time I do it I end up going with the good option. I have yet to actually see that bomb blow. But maybe one day
