CARS EXPLODE?!

[Adagio]

The T-51b Power Armor looks like a great armor, but can easily be missed if you're not careful

Spoiler:

There's a simple mission in this game to take out four people, then deliver the keys from their dead cold hands to your employer. If you do that you might not ever see this nice armor

Heh. I had that happen once. I'm very careful not to fight around wrecked vehicles. Not only do I have to not hit them myself, they are often hit by enemy fire.

I always forget that cars explode

But does the nukes in the game not explode? There's a place with a storage room full of nukes, but it doesn't seem possible to make them explode

Aren't nukes not supposed to explode unless armed?

lol, I stumbled upon Fire Ants while doing the first part of the mission about the wastelands book.

Them being ants, I decide to take them on using melee weapons.

I quickly found out why their name

Yes they do. And bear in mind that cars in the future use fission cells to power, and you have one big fiery radioactive mess on your hands...

Personally, my favorite armor is the Ranger Combat Armor. It's 39 DR fully repaired (I think that T51b is 48), doesn't make you run slower (powered armor is like heavy armor in Oblivion), gives you +5 action points, +10 Small Guns skill, and +1 to Agility (I think it is agility anyway), doesn't require special training to wear, and can be repaired using any of the plentiful suits of Combat Armor in the game. I've had problems keeping regular power armor up to full repair level because only certain areas have foes that wear it.

Yes, but it's not possible to arm them... at least not as far as I could see.... would have made a nice blast

Did anyone blow megaton up?

Is it worth it?

I've read that doing that gives you one of the best traits in the game.

Well that's very true. Apparently I'm such a killjoy that enemies get depressed when they see me and have trouble shooting straight or something

Tranquility Lane has no roads that lead into or out of it. I liked that.

I didn't do it, but I'll do it next time I play the game

Am I the only one incapable of being evil in Fallout 3?

Occasionally I can suffer through an "evil playthrough" of games just once, but every one of my "well, I'll sort of play evil" character turns into a Very Good character.

I guess its part of the setting. It's easier to be Generally Well off Sentient In The Old Republic than a literal kid that has nothing. Almost everyone in Fallout 3 is pretty much on their last legs, and it's way harder for me to be a ******* to them because of it.

Just started the game - and i didnt expect it to be so funny. GEEK and GOAT made my day last night... I have to remember to get hold of a radio station before (and right after) the nuclear holocaust, so i can name myself president, and send inspiring message from my brain straight to people´s hearts...

I think I've gotten to a part of the game where I'm basically screwed.

Spoiler:

I'm at level 20 now, which means no more levels.

My Lockpick skill is at 73%. This is too low to get into the front part of Rivet City. But I need to do this to finish two quests: the Replicated Man and the Wasteland Survival Guide for Moira.

Am I completely screwed now? Is there another way to get in apart from Lockpicking that door?

The funniest thing I've found in the game so far involves the quest The Nuka-Cola Challenge:

Spoiler:

After talking to Sierra and agreeing to collect the 30 Quantums for her, Ronald asks you to do the same and give them to him instead. The reason is that he has the hots for Sierra and expects that he'll be able to "plow her bean field" (his words) after he gives them to her. When you go back to hand them in, you can tell her about him. At first, she's clueless, thinking he's just looking out for her again by asking you to get Quantum. Then you can tell her "I think he just wants to get into your pants", and she responds "That's silly. Why would he want to wear these filthy old girl pants?" She's STILL clueless!

Also, if you play female and have the Black Widow perk, you can respond to Ronald's initial request with "Get me some Quantum and we'll make it a threesome"; he promptly agrees, runs off to the bottling plant, and gets killed.
