During the first few moments of my life, of which I remember surprisingly well, I have a very clear picture of my family: my father standing over me and asking whether I'm a boy or a girl and my mother, looking very much like a thigh....

Oddly enough I soon lost my sense of self awareness and my next memory came nearly a year later.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-08-2514-51-26-93.jpg

In his attempts to test my walking ability my dad had me walk across the room to him, of course being the show off I am I decided to one up him

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-08-2514-52-39-97.jpg

Oddly unsurprised at a child who had previously been unable to walk at all suddenly walking over to his bed and jumping onto it, my father continued to insist that I walk to him in order to do it right.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-08-2514-53-39-67.jpg

Of course he soon betrayed me and closed me in my playpen, however being the forgetful scientist type he forgot to lock me in and I was able to easily escape and look around through my toy box.

Of course this was on the bestselling children's book list, narrowly beating out "You're Average, prepare yourself for a life of menial labour"

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-08-2514-55-54-50.jpg

OOC: I gave myself horrible charisma so I wouldn't get any discounts when the time comes to buy or sell items, hopefully keeping myself from becoming incredibly rich in this post nuclear world until at least a decent length into the game

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-08-2514-56-36-33.jpg

Dad comes back and points out the thighs favourite bible passage and then asks me to follow him, taking my newly acquired walking abilities for granted.

Then for the next nine years..... I forget what happened, but I remember I had a birthday!

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-08-2514-57-23-31.jpg

yeah.... I'm begining to think I have a memory problem

I look forward to the adventures of this new, radioactive, uncharismatic Neville.

I squee and look forward to seeing the wonderful adventures of brave, wonderful Liam Neeson :love:

And Neville too, I suppose

Well at least we've gone from worship of Trevelyan to Qui Gon....

So am I. Conceding I never played Fallout this AAR could get me buy Fallout.:)

I discovered you could use the console to unlock the doors and wander out into the hallway, then since it is actually in the same map as where you are when you are awoken by Amata and the alarms are going off, although there are no NPCs or roaches. Anyways, if you open the bathroom door well there's nothing in there so you walk through, fall into the nothingness and then are teleported into a hallway of said later area. Although that is as far as you can go as a baby and there is no way back...

I claim credit in part for helping Captain continue this sooner.

I'll be following this thread, I dont have Fallout 3. Yet interested in buying it someday :).

I sense that "You're special" Book is gonna pop up somewhere outside this thread. Eather by itself or as a demotivational poster.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-08-2521-14-25-32.jpg

Of course I'm given a pipboy as a birthday present, since its extremely useful to keep tabs on your limb damage when in the safety of the vault.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-08-2521-14-46-36.jpg

of course I'm soon greeted by Amata rubbing my low perception score in my face and offering me the gift of a Grognak the Barbarian comic, however the bloody thing fell apart after one reading so I suspect she simply found the thing laying around and decided it would make a good token offering.

Of course after that the party just goes downhill:

and Dad implies that nobody would care if I left the party....

I think this could be my worst birthday ever, however I'm unsure as I don't remember any others. Shunned and/or creeped out, I go to speak with Jonas.

Ouch... sorry about that...

You'll shot yer eye out kid!

Dang it Captian2, now yer gonna make me wanna get Fallout 3. Did you get the expantion packs as well or just went with the vanilla?

Liam Neeson gave you a gun? He's the best dad ever :love:

I have a few of the DLC packs, however since I'm unsure of my ability to properly add them to the game they may or may not make an appearance

subscription post. Neville made me purchase Oblivion for the PC so I fear this may do the same for Fallout.

@Stevie, that seems to happen to a lot of people, I guess its good to know that I'm not the only one who goes off to buy games after reading the AARs :p

@Everyone, Of course now I continue my frequent updating for the sake of actually seeing if the DLC is working, whitch I can only find out by advancing in the game

My next memory occurs six years later.... they're begining to tighten up at least so hopefully soon I'll be able to remember day to day life.

This of course is the downside to being related to the vault's doctor, you'll find yourself constantly subjected to tests, doubts and claims that "Lupus doesn't work that way" whenever you claim to be sick before a test.

Dammit

Good going Cap, very amusing. :D

It was around this point that I started to get bored of Fallout 3... after half an hours play you want to be out in the wastes capping mutants, not taking some bleeding exam. An exam! In a videogame! Cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria!

So yeah I didn't really get very far with FO, made it to Megaton, poked around a bit and then quit, partly, I have to admit, because I couldn't buy that the wasteland didn't have any vegetation after two centuries of not-being-nuked.

Hence I will follow Neville's travels with extra interest, as unlike the Oblivion AAR, this is mostly gonna be new and unkown.

@Everyone, Of course now I continue my frequent updating for the sake of actually seeing if the DLC is working, whitch I can only find out by advancing in the game

I'm not complaining :goodjob:

I am perfectly willing to take that Fallout 3 disc off your hands for say $30.

I'm not complaining :goodjob:

This doesn't excuse you from not updating often enough.

Hi-ho-larious Captain, but could you please spoiler previous updates again? My mouse wheel is tired.

I'm saving the disc. It may come in handy as a coaster after the coming nuclear wars. :p

(Secondarily, I may yet play through it as I liked Oblivion well enough.)

If I may, what DLC have you got installed? As I've only got this for the 360 my knowledge of mods for Fallout 3 are limited to the 'map packs' The Pitt, Operation Anchorage etc.

Im still debating on whether or not to get it via retail or steam.

Retail, then if you bug up the install for any reason you can easily reinstall. That's my two cents.

Retail, then if you bug up the install for any reason you can easily reinstall. That's my two cents.

I know where I'm going today, to the bank and to Gamestop down the street :). Perhaps I can start my own AAR on Fallout 3 :D.

@Scamp: Ask and ye shall recieve
@Steviejay: Well right now its supposed to be Zeta, Point lookout, Anchorage, and Broken Steel. But again I'm unsure of how well I added them
@Everyone, Would anyone happen to know how to get Free floating camera working with Vista? I really miss being able to take pictures that aren't really close to his face

life comes crashing down upon my dream once again....

:confused:: huh? whats going on Amata?
http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Raghhhh-1.jpg:You've got to get out of here! Your Dad is gone and my father's men are looking for you!
"What do you mean, My dad is "gone"?"
"He's left the vault! I don't know how, but he's gone, and my father... he's kind of gone crazy."
" I've never seen you so scared Amata, what happened?"
"Its Jonas... They killed him! my father's men. they took him, and... Oh my God you have to leave, now!"

Well she didn't need to tell me to get out again, as far as I'm concerned running away becomes manditory upon first bloodshed. Amata gave me her fathers pistol and I happily accepted it, not only am I now armed but he father isn't.

As I attempt to sneak out, I accidentally alert a guard

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-08-2615-03-19-72.jpg

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-08-2615-03-23-21.jpg

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-08-2720-43-27-94.jpg

...Its cut short by two guards appearing and prepaing to beat me to a bloody pulp, as they have an irrational hatred for long farewells

oh crap

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-08-2720-44-16-75.jpg

I think I want to take my chances back with the guards

Woah, you can see to the washington monument in the pc version? Awesome.

Ah, the boundless bounty of a devastated landscape.

You should have bashed the overseer's head in. I did it, it was great, a nice sneak attack critical with a baseball bat, smashing his smug annoying skull in. Of course that little skank Amata didn't appreciate my saving her and got all huffy and told me to never come back.

Hit em with a stick!! Hit him with a stick! Aww, security guard go down :p. CRIT BAT FTW! (I hope Captian2 did not have "BONK!" in his mind when he used the baseball bat as a weapon ;)). Also, did ya get a chance to gnab the Medicine Bobble head? I take it you opted to not change your stats after leaving the door to the Capital Wasteland.

If I see thoes radroaches, I'm gonna go Gordon Freeman on their butts "DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!! These bugs think they own the place! Keep running you little bastards!"



Boy the striders really have overtaken the city... ...oops wrong game :lol:

Amata is a dead end relationship anyways.

:goodjob:

Would anyone happen to know what may cause Fallout 3 to freeze every 10 seconds or so?

I've tried a few methods of fixing it but nothing appears to be working right now

It's made by bethesda, that's why it does that.

Fallout3 is good stuff. I look forward to seeing it played through someone else's eyes.

Not sure why, my guess is that it has to refresh part of the map.

Its making it impossible to get an update done, I'll see if I can fix it, if not I'll try to reinstall without the DLC, if that fails.... ugh

Did you patch the game?

yes I have

By "freeze" do you mean that you have to kill the game in Task Manager? I had a problem like that, and I got around it by playing the game in windowed mode.

yeah thats the problem I'm having...

and I'll give that a shot

Also Captain, I found out how you can get the free camera movement. Hit the "~" key which will bring up a console. From there you can type in "tfc - toggle free camera; lets you move around the camera at will. To take pictures of your character, make sure you go into third person mode first."

More console commands for Fallout 3 here (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Console) :)

Any good news on fixing the problem? :(

So far, so good

I'll let you know if the problems return though, until then I'm working on the update

Don't get jumped by the raiders and mole rats ;).

Wonderful.

After climbing down from the vault entrance and heading towards.... well.... nothing really, I just sort of headed the route I was facing. I really have no destination or even a purpose for existing anymore now that I've been banished from my home.

A sign pointed me towards a place called megaton, I certainly hoped that I could find some answers or even a purpose there.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-08-2723-08-43-96.jpg

So I guess it imploded? stupid signs leading me to the middle of nowhe....

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-08-2723-09-03-71.jpg

Oh lovely, I get to go inside the giant pile of rubble

I was greeted at the entrance by a sheriff of some kind, I had to be very careful as these outsiders can often be dangerous without provocation

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-0721-08-29-77.jpg

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-08-2723-12-27-98.jpg

Of course he's likely just waiting for me to lower my guard, I went to the local supply stand in the rubble city and spoke to the owner

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-08-2723-14-00-42.jpg

You heard about me when I've only been in town long enough for a single conversation? and I didn't mention to Lucas that I came from a vault....

I sense a conspiracy most foul indeed, It seems possible that Moria here has forcably kidnapped my father! I shall do whatever it takes to overthrow her evil empire, free my father and clear our names with the overseer!

I ask the vile Empress what she wants, of course keeping the conversation purely to subtext so her Imperial guardsman in the corner doesn't see fit to blow me away.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-08-2723-15-28-44.jpg

She is apparently writing a book and requires help to finish it, I now understand her plan as she will get me to risk my own well being out of single minded concern of saving my fathers life.

I accept her task, buy a few supplies and set to work, I am but a pawn in this game Moria has crafted.

Neville's gettin' paranoid!

Great AAR! Keep it coming!

After being given a protective vault suit by Moira, likely to keep me from dying before her book is finished, I head off to the Super Duper mart in search of food.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-0721-15-56-86-1.jpg

Preoccupied with trying to find a way to get back inside the vault once Dad is rescued I failed to notice a dog sneaking up on me until he had already helped himself to a health chunk of my behind.

being the fan of action movies that I am, I saw the perfect opportunity to use a witty killing line

Coming to the entrance to the super-duper-mart, I began wondering how seriously these people take their shoplifting policies.

I find small amounts of food as well as something actually worth my trip, A LAZER GUN!

isn't the future present awesome?

While searching for medicine I come across another wonder of this age.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I'm brought back to my senses by a bullet to the shoulder

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-0721-31-04-85-1.jpg

*Girlish Shrieks*

Run man run!!!

Vicious Dog scums to a CRIT bullet! Cuh-rit :lol:

Its the Capital Wasteland Raiders!! They are sooo small, it's funny to me! (Unless one of em is armed with a Missile Launcher, then it's like a scout going toe to toe with a soldier in TF2 :scared: )

Helloooo Chil-dren. Its my day off so you know what that means? Update!

Upon getting my bullet ridden hindquarters out of the Super Duper mart I managed to return to megaton without incident, For some reason the raiders didn't seem to care about my theft or the death of their comrades once I had gone outside the door, surely they must know something I don't about the dangers lurking outside.

On my way back to my evil overlord Moria, I came across this helpless little fellow, fascinated by the shimmering and dancing water as it freely flows from the pipe. I'd fix it but I just cannot allow myself to break him from the state of Nirvana he must be in.

After informing the Empress of my success I'm awarded with iguana bits and a food sanitizer. Likely a veiled threat at my fathers safety along the lines of "If you fail your next task I will cut him to bits...... and then sanitize him"

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1420-05-05-00.jpg

She likely has her former subjects plucked from the unlucky population by her royal guard.

So, I'm a freak now.... Lovely, I guess it only makes sense that she now wants to send me to a minefield. Hopefully to put me out of my misery.

I lol'd. Moira is one of my favourite characters in Fallout 3 (that I've met).

My least favorite, them damned Talon Company Mercs!

Are we reading the same thread? What the hell does Talon Company have to do with Moira?

CivGeneral was saying in response to your favorite in Fallout 3 that his least favorite is the Talon Mercs. Just a bit off topic but still in the realm. :)

After successfully turning myself into a freak, I head out into the darkness of the night to navigate my way through a minefield. Joy.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1503-18-25-51.jpg

I encounter two bloatfly along the way, I really like them as I find it so convenient to simply shoot your foe in the brain and then be done with it

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1503-19-43-56.jpg

That must be my goal, luckily the minefield keeps raiders away so I can just sneak in, collect a few mines and then leave.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1503-20-53-27.jpg

In fact theres one right there, lets get in closer for a better look at her

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1503-21-02-83.jpg

She's a beaut! being careful not to anger this testy little explosive I carefully stick it in my backpack

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1503-21-14-31.jpg

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1503-21-27-31.jpg

*screaming*

After the explosion, I notice little bits of earth flying around me... I take a few moments for my ears to stop ringing before noticing the sound of gunfire

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1503-21-47-96.jpg

I run to the wall of the school while he's reloading and prepare to sneak around him so I can give him a face full of lazer gun

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1503-25-52-13.jpg

And run right into a mine, crippling my leg for the remainder of this duel

I sit for a moment or two and wonder what to do until a bullet strikes me in my bad leg

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1503-26-33-15.jpg

the old bugger has somehow snuck behind me and is proceeding to unload his clip, I take the chance to capture the high ground and hobble my way upstairs

Editors Note: Neville attempted to throw a grenade at Arkansas here, but it appears he accidentally threw the camera we provided him instead. Upon realizing his mistake he threw a real one and managed to fatally wound his opponent.

I then take the time to pose over my trophy as I have won against the deadliest prey of all, Old Man

Sweet.

What is the freak reference? A ghoul? I cant see much in those photos.

Oh, In the last update Neville suffered a mutation and therefore now reguards himself as a freak, it hasn't affected his appearance but knowing his DNA is strange is enough to make him feel a bit put out :p

I must be confusing that with a mod where you could become a ghoul after suffering radiation poisoning. You should consider it ;)

Huh didn't know he would leave the 'safety' of his ruined building. He was quite the surprise on my first playthrough, then I enslaved him on the 2nd playthrough as of the 4 targets you're given to enter Paradise Falls he's the only one who isn't useful or going to be nice to you.

At the end everybody goes bad, being good is just too exhausting.

In Fallout 1 and 2 it was possible to "stay on the good side" until the end :p

Irradiating yourself and killing elderly gentlemen is all well and good, but how does that help you find Liam Neeson? :love:

It's quite easy to stay good in the good. It's a pain in the ass to be completely evil and now have a good house or anything to go to.

What was I on when I made this post?

Returning from my duel with Arkansas (How I know his name I don't know... He might have yelled it at me while turning me into bullet storage) I find the Imperial Palace closed. Looking for some kind of lodgings I ask the nearest citizen and get told to visit craterside supply.


http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1519-30-57-72.jpg

Luckily I spot a saloon off in the distance and decide if I can't find a place to stay I'll just drink until Moria opens up.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1519-31-28-77.jpg

The place is a bit of a dive, but then again I haven't really seen anything that nice looking since I left the vault. I stand at the entrance and casually observe the events of the morning.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1519-31-34-95.jpg

A ghoul trys fruitlessly to fix his radio, the nearby woman insists that the radio station itself is having the problem

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1519-32-03-05.jpg

I of course fix everything by walking up and turning his radio off, The ghoul daydreams sadly about the happy times when his radio actually worked.

The man with the Librarian glasses makes an interesting offer as I could potentially destroy Empress Moira and her Imperial guard, however I'd likely inadvertantly kill some people who didn't deserve it.

I'll need some time to collect my thoughts.....

Unless you use mods :p

At least the game doesn't TAUNT you for your choices, my roomate's friend was playing good in inFamous (b/c my roommate already played evil), and the game goes out of it's way to taunt you for choosing good over evil.

Neville needs to ask himself, What would Liam Neeson do?

Neville needs to ask himself, What would Liam Neeson do?

:D Attaboy

I suppose the question then is whitch Liam Neeson does Neville listen to, the Qui-Gon Jinn sitting on his shoulder or the Ra's al Ghul

The one that is his father. Namely Liam Neeson from Taken ;)

Neville wouldn't blow up a town unless it was evil.

Don't kill Nova.... thats my input.

I confuse the poor sap, agree to take the pulse charge (if playing a Female PC, use the Black Widdow perk) and tell Simms about it (after I get a combat shotty of course to blow Burke's head off) and disarm the bomb :lol:

Question on Captain2, what are your character's skill levels after you had leveled up after "Escape!" (eg: Big Guns, Medicine, etc)?

Are we reading the same thread? What the hell does Talon Company have to do with Moira?

CivGeneral was saying in response to your favorite in Fallout 3 that his least favorite is the Talon Mercs. Just a bit off topic but still in the realm. :)

Exactly what Double Stack said. No need to get hopping mad and bite my head off :sad:.

I wasn't mad, just tired and confused.

Not sure about after escape but I happen to have a shot from just after killing Arkansas

Deciding that I'm a man of honour and no matter what beef I may have with the despot of Megaton the people do not deserve to suffer for it. I go and inform the Sheriff as he seems like a good man that I can trust to do the right thing.

I lock onto Burke with my 10mm pistol, sadly being the second fastest draw in the room has its downfalls and Simms goes down. Three shots peg Burke in the side of the head but he manages to stay standing and turns his pistol on me.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1708-36-20-40.jpg

Sadly even attempting to hide behind a sheet, A bullet to the shoulder teaches me the problem with my plan.

I force Burke to take cover and run upstairs, I contemplate pulling out one of my grenades and simply ending the fight, however with the possibility of bar patrons being added to the casualty list I decide I need to take another tactic.

Taking a few steps back and grabbing a pool cue I found laying around, I run full speed in Burkes direction and throw myself over the railing

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1708-38-04-18.jpg

Looking down on Burkes lifeless body, I suddenly see through the rage that had engulfed my thoughts and deeds. I feel my knees weaken and I'm forced to sit on a barstool to avoid collapsing. I'm snapped back to reality by a kid pulling on my sleeve

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1708-39-04-33.jpg

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1708-39-49-25.jpg

Damn, I need a drink

First time around I did pretty much the same thing, though I followed it up with "ah well, no point letting a good hat and jacket go to waste" and nabbed Simm's stuff.

I go swanning out the door and nonchalantly wander down the street, only to bump into his kid...whilst I'm wearing his dad's clothes.

I felt a teeny bit guilty after that.

Huh, I just reloaded my last save and killed burke before he killed simms, I thought Simms might be useful later on and didn't want him dead in my first visit to Megaton.

Does it make a difference? When I played it on the 360 nothing much happened either way indeed getting him killed is actually quite handy because you then get his Chinese Assault Rifle

Yes well i didn't know that on my first playthrough :p

Yeah, he's entirely useless. I mean what do you get for disarming the bomb? 20 caps?

don't you get like a bundle of experience as well?

Not to mention the nice warm fuzzy feeling of helping out the needy

Yeah, he's entirely useless. I mean what do you get for disarming the bomb? 20 caps?
Dont forget your very own Megaton House. Useful for storing weapons and apparel. You don't get any caps if you disarm the bomb without asking Simms, just a lot of Karma (and the Megaton House).

Usualy, if I have a high enough repair skills or barely enough but use the Vault 101 Utility Jumpsuit (+5 Repair, +5 Lockpick) to get that repair bonus. Offer the man in the Water filtration plant help fixing the leaks. He pays 200 caps.

Oh yeah, forgot about the house, but you get that with or without him. As a character he's useless.

By that kind of logic, 95% of the characters in the game are useless.

They are.

Wouldn't the game world feel empty and fake without anyone to add flavour? It would be like going into an open mall but the ONLY person in there was a single cashier in the one store you're buying something.

Yeah they're cool to talk to once, but they're so static it annoys me to no end. I want them to react when I save their god damned lives.

Shortly After the events at the Saloon I went back to craterside supply and sold some of my junk so I could persue some of my interests for the time being.

Getting the answers she requires to finish her book, I get my next set of marching orders. I'm to plant a transmitter of some kind in a mirelurk base.

You can get addicted to alcohol? I've drunk tons of scotch and beers in game and never got addicted, I get addicted to mentats after like 2 though.

Yeah the addiction thing is rather broken, and is is the "wearing off" effect.. you can get addicted to something after having it once, and I don't see how mentats are addicting.

This AAR is so much more interesting than when I tried to play fallout 3. Think I stopped a bit further after this, I remember I disarmed the bomb though.

I would always blow up megaton, you get your own posh suite.

Oh no, Capt has partied to much and became a drunk! :lol:.

So I heard you're going to the Memorial to plant a device in some giant enemy crab's nest. After getting all of the DLC and helping the Outcasts. I go in the memorial with the Chinese Stealth Armor, don't wanna kill em since I am going for the optional objective and the Survival Guru.

On my way to plant the device in the Mirelurk nest I suddenly notice something running at me, its shape is that of a very small human, maybe even a dwarf

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1821-47-30-98.jpg

Nah its most likely a human. Thankfully I've listened to Three Dog's (The Resident DJ) warnings of these wasteland people.

I fire a warning shot over his head in hopes of scaring him off.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1821-47-47-72.jpg

With an obvious wild, beastial quality I decide that this must end and fire a round into his gut.

My shots failing to down this feral beast I jump off the broken remains of the bridge, twisting my ankle upon landing. Luckily I was still able to summon my strength to run.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1821-48-21-73.jpg

A look back behind me confirmed my deepest fear that I was indeed facing a determined foe.

I found an area with an old woman sitting down and having some lunch and she introduced herself but to me it was a blur as I ran past, I felt horribly about leaving her alone with the demon chasing me. However I could no longer entertain such heroic fantasies and had I sacrificed my life for hers, there was no way of knowing she could get away in time.

It turns out that he wasn't just after any victim and that for some reason he had singled me out.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1821-50-21-66.jpg

I found myself cornered between a mindfield and a fiend with a single minded obsession with destroying me

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-1821-50-35-62.jpg

I made the obvious decision, sadly crippling my legs as the mines exploded beneath me

I could no longer run, I could no longer bare the weight of this new world about to come crashing down upon a humble vault dweller. I steeled my nerves and waited for my fate to befall me.

Oh my, you found a kid from the city filled with Giant Pyro Ants (I call em that :p). Or the kid found you. But hey, look on the bright side, when you complete the THOES! quest, ya get a choice of Ant Sight or Ant Might.

Captain2 you make Fallout3 seem like it doesnt suck. :goodjob:

Why does Fallout 3 suck? I've really enjoyed playing, but each to their own I guess.

There was a long thread (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=282268) discussing that. (i think the "reviews" start about half way through the thread)
But yea, like you said, to each his own. :)

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-2218-48-59-11.jpg

Looking at my map I discover that I'm already closer to the Mirelurk nest than...wherever it is that the invincible kid wanted me to go, so naturally I'll finish my first job before heading out to help him.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-2218-49-44-13.jpg

In fact the entrance is just across the bridge, so I head inside and begin looking for a clump of eggs to stick my listening device in

Things go rather well on the way in, sneaking past the one Mirelurk that I notice and then jump off the catwalk onto a pile of eggs. I figure they're probably still good and stick the listening device in the yolk running across the floor. Of course things don't go quite so well and the extraction is... shall I say, painful.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-2218-52-57-39.jpg

I'll just sum up the experience as "Things were pinched that should never have been treated in such a way"

I walk out into the sunlight and run like hell away from the memorial in case those things decide to keep chasing me, eventually I find myself looking over Greyditch.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-2218-55-11-68.jpg

I hear a person talking to himself inside this thing and I prepare to open it

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-2218-55-36-40.jpg

However I quickly find myself destracted by my sudden lack of eyebrows, I take my Aka-47 off my shoulder and wait for the flames to clear. I must count myself as lucky since the flames barely missed me, had my foe used the flare gun I'd be quite enflamed.

I see what you did there

I blow the things head off in a way that to me just reeks of skill and then open up the tube to get some idea of the situation

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-2218-56-16-41.jpg

The kid tells me to go to his house and save his dad from those things, as someone who can relate to a missing parental figure I take up the task with much gusto.

Well I can always hope that my own quest goes much smoother....

I go back and inform the kid of his loss, he takes it very well, almost too well... but I'll come back to my crazy theories when I'm no longer being accosted by the skittering menace.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-2219-15-48-36.jpg

Really, I hate these things not so much because they're a walking flame thrower but largely because of the sound they make.

Skitter skitter skitter skitter, skitter skitter skitter. It sounds like someone rubbing a stalk of celery on a piece of sandpaper.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-2219-16-17-22.jpg

I decide to give my ears a break and begin looting the place for ammo, since the least they can do after bringing me here is to supply me with enough ammo to take care of the problem.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-2219-16-24-15.jpg

Of course this place doesn't look too much like an ammo depot, I decide to do a quick sweep of the place and then leave.

Wow, this guy sucks at writing

Oh, this thread has completely gone under my radar. Going to sit down and have a read-through one of these days. I need to find out if Neville has been up to his usual tricks.

Neville has encountered...

...Giant Wild Pyro Ants

They are spy checking.

Finding the entrance to Marigold station, I discover that the ant problem is certainly more than a few isolated creature skittering around, making sure that all my weapons are loaded I prepare to take these firebugs out.

OOC: In hopes of not making this into a giant rendition of "Another One Bites the Dust" I'll just spoiler pictures of some of the more interesting kills and move onto the story.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-2318-55-11-21.jpg

Long story short, This fellow needs me to clear a path to his computer terminal that's positioned next to the queen but is however unaccessible due to several royal guards that would kill anyone trying to reach her.

I'd normally run away from such a fight as the coward I am, however these things could spawn everywhere so I suppose I'd rather fight six very strong ants over millions of weak ones so I accept his offer and head off to shoot these things.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-2318-57-42-03.jpg

I manage to sneak attack this creature and kill it, however not without draining practically all of my ammo. Neville will have to get creative with these things

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-2318-59-15-70.jpg

Spotting a leg jutting out of the horrid darkness I begin running away, making sure that the ant follows me

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-2318-59-23-45.jpg

It takes nearly eight mines to down this thing, but it does in fact die.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-2319-02-55-09.jpg

I look down the corridor to find two more ants skittering their way towards me, I pull out my sniper rifle (my only remaining source of ammo) and take aim.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-2319-03-09-31.jpg

Surprisingly shooting the ants in their antennae causes them to go berserk and begin killing each other.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-2319-03-56-02.jpg

After watching those two douse each other with fire for nearly three minutes (They apparently are resistant to flames themselves) One dies and I sneak up on the other one who presumably forgot about a human in the nest and end its misery. I hear a giant sloshing noise in the other room and look around the corner.

*Shriek*

Running as fast as I can out of the cave, I report my success to the scientist who congratulates me by shoving a needle in my arm.

I'd shoot him but I'm down to only a few bullets, plus he assures me that the effect will be beneficial in the long run.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-2319-07-37-29.jpg

Now it's all very nice of him to give us that Ant Might Perk, but who the hell would ever trust him enough to believe him? (Besides Neville).

I shot him after he gave me the shot, then went down and killed the queen. :mwaha: :mwaha: :mwaha:

Meh, I go with the ant perception. Then again I wear strength enhancing apperal (Power Armor) and snatch the Strength Bobblehead at Simm's house ;).

alright, I'm going to ask for imput for once (Can't just go on doing my own thing forever)

Neville feels like wandering and is currently in greyditch, what direction should he head?

Did you speak with the pub owner in Megaton?

nope, I just started working with Moira upon arrival

Go back to the kid, talk to him again, then go back to megaton. You might need more ammo. You can also get the next quest from Empress Moira, then check out the pub and talk to the owner if you want to advance the main quest. Some of the most interesting areas are ones you simply stumble upon.

Too bad there aren't any giant mutated spiders in this game (that I know of) :/

Go back to the kid, tell him you'll find him a home in Rivet City. I suggest doing this when you get to the part where you have to research Rivet City's history (The owner of the hotel in Rivet City will serve as a guardian to the orphan child). You'll also end up picking up the Replicated Man quest if you wander in the science lab (Ill give you tips on how to get both Harkness's plasma rifle and the Wired Reflex perk when the time comes :))

Go to megaton finish up the misions there and then detonate the giant firecracker.

If he does that, then Moira would turn into a ghoul :(. Plus he wont get any caps after killing Mr Burke.

I'd just start exploring. Pick a direction, and go. As has been said, the most interesting stuff
is what you stumble upon.

Welcome to today's edition of What Would Liam Neeson Do?

Quite simple really. A family member is missing in the unknown, and as such Neville must devote all his strength to learning where he is. Find clues, track leads and search for your missing father!


(I agree with Serutan. I don't want to see Neville playing his story based on what other players have found to work out best, because I've already played that myself. Going to speak to the kid makes sense, and you were already doing quests for Moira so sticking to that if you're stuck sounds fine. It good reading :goodjob:)

I think taking the kid to rivet city is a good course of action, you will need to return to Megaton anyways at some point.

Explore, head SW.

Deciding to debrief Bryan and let him know that he can now come out for food and stuff, I open up the Child Containment Unit (tm) and immediately get hit with a giant guilt trip

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-09-2319-10-54-03-1.jpg

"Cool, I'll write to inform you of all my kickass adventures"

"......"

"Fine... I'll also include a few pictures"

"....."

"I'll find you a family while I'm out there?"

That Bryan, such a good kid. I hope when I have a family my kid will bury me within 48 hours of my death.

I teleport... I mean walk back to Megaton to recieve my next instructions from Empress Moira.

It turns out that the stick has a side effect, the mole will start smoking and then his head will explode with great force.

(Side note: Moira gives me a stick that makes heads explode, very much evil)

while leaving the Molerat lair I notice lazer bolts flying past me and being the inquisitive type I am, I decide to see why the hell someone is shooting at me with lazers.

Heart pounding, Pupils dilated, mouth dry and fingers itching to pull the trigger of my magnium I wait for him to make the next move.

Time stands still while I stare down the barrel of his lazer rifle, my life flashes before my eyes and I remember the safety of my vault.... well at least until the people in the vault tried to kill me anyway.

Luckily we vault people are just too quick to be taken down by some half-wit in a suit of armour

Didn't think you would run into those hosers yet... Where are you in the main quest?

He's no farther along on the main quest than when he left the vault.

Heh heh whack a mole xD

I didn't think he had gotten very far. Never realized that one could run into the Enclave that early in the main quest line.

It happened to me before, I encountered a lone Enclave trooper at random moments (usualy in the areas where the Enclave camp appears after they land at the Jefferson Memorial in the main quest, example: Neville's encounter with the Enclave trooper near Dukov's Place/Molerat lair)). The lone Enclave scout appears even before I head to the vault with Tranquility Lane. I've also encountered lone scout Enclave troopes with the Tesla Power Armor at mid level. I usualy finish the Aiding the Outcast quest to get the power armor training early (as well as the Chinese Stealth Suit to use to get the Vengeance in the Deathclaw Cave) so I can use the Enclave power armor and not have it be extra weight to carry around. IMO, using the glitch to get to the Citidel to get Power Armor training early in the game is a pain in the butt.

Boy, I should start my own Fallout AAR staring Samus as the Lone Wanderer :run:. When I get my desktop back from repairs.

Another good update Cappy. :D

Edit: Now that I've got my computer fixed, now I am able to start my own Fallout 3 AAR :)

You sure you completely uninstalled it before you tried reinstalling? FWIW I had some trouble uninstalling Oblivion on my machine, the uninstall process simply wouldn't do anything, so I ended up just deleting it manually (which probably left some debris from the install on the system). So it seems that Bethesda have previous when it comes to install/uninstall issues. I'd try googling the error or maybe checking out a dedicated FO board, it may be a common problem with a known solution.

The problem that I found was that there was already an installshield folder already. Renamed it and it installed normaly. Though I had to look in Program Files (x86) for it instead of the regular Program Files foulder the trouble shoot suggested (Due since I am on a 64bit OS).

I had to manually remove Oblivion and manually delete the registry keys, the problem was that at the end of the Oblivion install, it kind of pauses and looks like it's done but just didn't close, so I (and many others) clicked the X button to close the window, apparently that will cause the game to cease working months later (or a couple of YEARS later) and be hard to uninstall. Luckily if you wait a couple of minutes the installer will finish and the problem won't happen, so I shouldn't ever have the problem again.

Subscribe, just finished enjoying your Oblivion AAR, really good job :goodjob:

Returning to megaton and discovering that the water show may indeed outlast the simpsons in terms of fan base support while waiting for Moira to open up her shop. I decide that the Church of Atom may as well give up now as its water is stagnant and the pipes water dances, even a nuke doesn't make enough of a difference.

Selling my worldy goods, including the enclave armour I've come across, I notice that I'm running horribly low on funds. Even just trying to get a few stimpaks causes my profit margin to shrink, die and then recede.

I try to give Moria my mole rat research but discover I've only killed the bare minimum. If theres one thing that can be said about the Ryan family its that we do things to completion, unless theres a demon, large dog, Scorpion, Robot or if theres a big guy threatening you, not just any big guy though... one with a 2x4.... with a nail in it.

On my way back to the Mole rat area I find something rather interesting occuring.

I hear a lazer being fired and raise my own in anticipation, moving slowly and searching the area from behind a tree I notice a mirelurk... I should really report this back to Moria as if they've become capable of building and firing lazers I'd qualify that as some kind of sentience.

http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/tt9/Captain23222/Fallout32009-10-1608-27-04-76.jpg

However upon further inspection I discover that the Mirelurk is not actually holding the lazer rifle, my heart sinks a little and I continue my search for the source, The mirelurk finds it for me, an enclave soldier who had been apparently shooting at it and not me.

"In the Blue shell, weighing in at possibly around 350 pounds, estimate used because it refused to step on the scale. From the muck filled pond down the road! MIRELURK!!!"

"In the Black/Greenish power armour, weighing in at 250 pounds. From the Capital Wasteland, ENCLAVE SOLDIER!"

*Settles back in chair*

1..2..3..4..5..6 oh to hell with it, he's missing his head.

Mirelurk wins in a first round knockout, The crowd goes wild! thankfully "Enclave soldiers get in free" night is next tuesday so a riot is avoided.

The Mirelurk goes a little strange and decides that I'm a threat it to its championship and comes after the announcer in an incident that brings back bitter memories of the great Muhammed Ali massacre of 1964 in whitch a referee, cameraman and lighting technician were mercilessly throttled.

Thankfully we've since given the staff various means of self protection

To quote the band Filter, "Hey man, Nice shot!" :D

Capt2 has found, another Enclave Soldier!

Though in my games, I hold on to the Enclave armor and head right to Bailey's Crossroads to start Ading the Outcast to get the power armor training while still a low level character :D.

Also, If I am at the part in the Survivor Guide with the mole rat repellent and I go to the DLC parts (The Pitt, Operation: Anchorage, & Mothership Zeta) I still have the repellent stick since it's still flagged as a quest item and not taken away from me by the Pitt Raiders and Aliens :lol:.

To quote the band Filter, "Hey man, Nice shot!" :D

I like turning my enemies into a giant pile of green goo with a plasma weapon :p

But the annoying thing about goo/ash piles. Is that they dont go away! :mad:
I literally have to go into the console, click on the pile, and type in "disable" to clean it up

Kan just reminded me, I'm going to put this on hiatus for a temporary period... I find myself bombarded constantly by things I have to do, read or play and haven't really gotten around to updating in a little while, Ciaphas isn't going to read himself!

Anyway with L4d2 coming out pretty soon followed by a flurry of game releases I don't see much time for poor fallout until that well dries up because I personally don't believe I'm good enough at writing to get away with "well I'll just dash that off and then get back to Darkest of Days... wait whats this? they just released DLC for Ultimate Alliance 2? Update: Neville Sleeps for the next two weeks, see ya then"

I however promise to come back to the game when I'm ready again as I'm certain you all remember my Oblivion AAR had a hiatus around the same season last year :p

Edit: by the way it appears Civgeneral will be writing a fallout 3 AAR as well, so I hope you'll all join me in checking that out

Please don't do a Kan ( don't update for like 5 weeks or so and not saying anything) :P.

BTW, I thought you might like to know that this story has inspired me to download Thorgrimm's "Fallout: The Rebirth of Civilization" mod for Civ III conquests, and it will be my next Civ III story game (once I finally finish my Age of Imperialism game)....

Edit: by the way it appears Civgeneral will be writing a fallout 3 AAR as well, so I hope you'll all join me in checking that out

I'll be starting it as soon as I return from work. I had to tweek one of the mods with the GECK to fix a little bug with the Good Hair Day mod. I doubt any of you would want to see the overseer with only one eye and funky eyelashes ;).

Well that was certainly a long nap... anyone up for a bit of fun?

I predict Capt2 would proad me to update mines.

Excellent, glad it's back and I'm looking forward to more updates :goodjob:

No love for me? :( *pfft* :ubersadface:

No love for me? :( *pfft* :ubersadface:

Always got love for you, get updating :hammer:

Well, so Captain2, I realize your character is a narcoleptic but seriously this is ridiculous!

eh, the game keeps crashing and I couldn't find a way to fix it. I more or less aborted the restart :p
