    Involvement with BoS and Outcasts: What Can Be Done, How?

    Anyone find a way to reconcile the BOS and Outcasts? It gets referenced a few times in the citadel, there's even a named NPC who talks about it at length, and there a holotape in Lyon's safe that i thought might be a trigger, but it doesn't work for me (maybe a bad guy line item?) Anyone get...

    Ben Canning... Who are you?

    I saved some NPC named Ben Canning near one of the Museums (Technology, I think, but i'm pretty sure he's a random encounter), I gave him some water. Now he appears regularly at Megaton with a small crate set up in front of him... but he doesn't buy, beg or do anything but stand there for an...

    Dukov's *Itches *minor spoiler*

    Wow, you got one of the girls to leave?!? I spent like a half an hour trying to get them to leave with me, no dice (80% speech, 6 CHA, Ladykiller). Do you have to be a woman? Or did you kill Dukov?

    Subways, Utility Stations=Copy/Paste

    Yeah it's in Marigold Station, outside of Greyditch, that was bad though, because it kept me looking for other cool stuff in other Metro stations and I never found anything nearly as interesting. Oh and there are like 35-40 Metro and railyard areas in this game, like 5-10 sewers and 10-15 or...

    Dogmeat was better as a snack than as an ally.

    Oh man, I totally forgot that you don't get xp for non-dogmeat kills (Charon and Star, i've seen), what's that about? Is it it just last-hit, or is it some % of damage done that determines if you get a reward. Also, the lack of level-up for your NPCs kinda stinks too... don't they improve...

    SPECIAL in F3 - same as F1 and 2?

    Attributes are a joke in this game, it seems like I'm going to end with 10 in all stats, sometimes. Even clothing adds to attributes.

    Dogmeat was better as a snack than as an ally.

    Seriously, I've had 3 allies now: Sydney, Charon and Dogmeat, and I cannot stand any of them. Here are the bad points: 1. The AI NPC pathing in this game is as broken or moreso than FO1-2, how many times have you watched Dogmeat run back and forth in front of a curb, a hole or a small...

    The bad track

    It's random where they pop up, pretty sure. Talons always get me around subway stations, maybe regs have a preferred ambush spot>?

    Why am I leveling so slowly? (any help on my gameplay style?

    Lockpick/Science 75/50. I'm not joking, like 50% of my levelling is these two skills, at between 20-40xp a pop. Pick all locks you find, then hack the terminal that could have opened the lock, afterwords. Do this all the time and you'll be such high level you'll start skipping safes to keep...

    So What is Missing That's Important?

    -Where are the factions? -Where are the sassy lines before a prostitute fade-to-black, or the snarky comments afterwords? -Where is the vice, anyway? Gambling, prostitution, drugs, etc. I found one meth head and his buddy cooking up jet, with no real follow-up quest. Weak. Why can't I...

    Help with broken "Those!" quest?

    OK, made it back there, and yeah now I can enter a previously sealed area, Lesko is there. He winds up giving me the quest to find boy and get him a home too. -Killed queen, got the bonus skilll point (might have to save/load a speech check), went topside and spent like a half hour trying to...

    Places *not* to go.

    Just have less of them, then. I mean I hate how this "open-ended" game just totally bottlenecks you through these linear dungeon crawls: In, one tunnel, out the other. I've done it, no joke, like 20-30 times now. Take out 10 Metros, a bunch of rubble-walls and add more real locations, with...

    Dunwich building (Spoilers)

    It's frustrating, isn't it? You do all the requisite RPG stuff to try and make something happen, but the game is a shooter at heart, so you just headshot that ghoul and keep goin, bro.

    Megaton - Leo Stahl Quest

    Yeah, me too, I figure it's a bug. Unless there's another hidden stash somewhere?

    Are you having technical issues?

    I was really clear and crash free until about hour 35 or so, and now I just found Tenpenny tower area (for kill key quest), and my game is crashing every 30 min or so: Freeze while entering VATS, abnormally long load time for savegame (like 2 min once), and CTD's when zoning. Very frustrating...

    What did Bethesda actually do better than Black Isle?

    You say that like it's a good thing. I miss the throwing knives and stars: What, we still know how to use a chinese sword, but we forgot how to throw shuriken? Silly. Stuff I like about FOO (Fallout Oblivion): -Stuff in-between locations besides lo-rez map. On the other hand, I miss real...

    When did they find the time? (fallout 3)

    Yeah, just like in Louisiana, FEMA would be there to patch it all up!

    Stumbled across a painfully simple infinite XP bug

    Well, except there's nothing complex about the rpg system in FO3, there are like 20 quests total and they don't interact with each other, or anything at all, it seems. At least FO1-2 had the excuse of hundreds of branching dialogue and quest objectives and NPC/player interactions. FO3 you're...
