Fallout 3

[Serutan]

Behtesda has admitted that in reality vegtation would have come back, the river
wouldn't be radioactive, and almost nothing would be standing in DC if they
had applied realism. They decided to ignore that in order for their storyline to work
out as they wished.

 

[Maniacal]

AFAIK< the world of Fallout is like that, very little greenspace.

 

[Darth_Pugwash]

@Serutan: That's fair enough I guess, but you have to wonder why they didn't just set it say ten years after the war or something.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Well i didn't play the whole 3rd game. But the other fallouts had a few green trees here and there. (more in organized cities) I remember grass here and there also. I didn't see any green at all in #3.

@darth: crosspost - because the story is much larger than it seems. It relates with the other games.

You'll be pleasantly surprised when you find a certain point on the map.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

The Oasis ?

 

[salty mud]

Oh well... it seems you've found it and weren't too impressed. Nevermind.

Personally, I thought the Oasis was a great place. A perfect alternative to the bleak Wasteland.

I didn't find it. But i remember being shown on the map where it was.

I'll go there tomorrow. (good thing i didn't erase the game)

I went there. It was nice.

The nicest thing was obviously meeting an old aquaintance from Fallout 1&2. It was great how they made him evolve into F3.

I took the Oasis graphic set and replaced all of the tree textures with those, including the grass. Sure theirs some weird clipping issues, but the wasteland is green, its very refreshing.

I never played Fallout 1/2. Who is the old acqaintence? The tree man?

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Harold yes. He was a ghoul NPC in the previous games. He had a branch on his head that he called Herbert/Bob and he kept talking to it.

That's a hell of a trek making it to DC from the NCR.

That's a hell of a trek making it to DC from the NCR.

Yep Had aprox 40 years to get there and suddenly get dominated by Herbert/Bob so much that he became motionless.

Which was stupid, they killed his character for me. I had a hard time not skipping through his dialogue because they killed his character so much.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

I liked the idea of the branch growing on him. It was taken to the extreme here. But i like the idea. (if you can look aside the location blasphemy)

Has anyone tried the new DLC yet?

 

[Rub'Rum]

Has anyone tried the new DLC yet?

No, I haven't, anyone tried it? It seems like it's completely outside of the actual game world though, which is disappointing I guess. I mean, it seems to be described as an adventure in a simulator of the Anchorage war, I guess you go in and out of the simulator, you see all these cool weapons from these days, but you can't bring them out... I may be mistaken.

Those that don't know, http://www.fallout3nexus.com/ is a great website. I personally like the Weapon Mod Kit's mod.
