I had a lot of mines stockpiled at that time. They're the most effective way of taking care of ants, especially the soldiers.

It's nearly impossible to get a bunch of caps in this game. I end up spending all my caps on ammo because I rarely find ammo for my shotguns and assault rifles, or stimpaks. And stimpaks are expensive..

Then there are repairs..

I'm in the process of writing a FAQ for the game, part of it is on GameFAQs currently with a Walkthrough and some of the optional quests. I suggest stacking Repair as high as you can get it, you'll save hundreds, nay, thousands on repair bills. I have my Repair up to 100 on both of my characters, now I buy cheap, poor condition items to repair my good stuff. Hell, most times I repair for free because I'll wait till I can loot extra weapons to repair with.

Also, if you're haivng trouble making caps, I suggest doing more trading and less buying. Kill Raiders, Super Mutants, and Enclave, fast travel to Rivet City or another town where you can trade off your junk loot for caps. I'm over 20k caps on both my game files, I never use them. My favorite trick is to stockpile gear in my Megaton (Or Tenpenny) house, then when the vendors have replenished goods I load up on everything and crawl to the vendor. I then buy them out of all their good stuff using the loot I've horded.

If anyone has any questions on quests or anything, let me know. I've done most of them at this point, but I'm going back through on my 2nd play through so I can do it both as a good guy and bad guy. I'll take suggestions/hints for the FAQ once I've gotten most of it finished, and I'll give anyone credit that sends me decent info.

It's like a movie that you're playing. And it's fucking creepy. But I love it.

I don't know anyone who doesn't like it. So if you don't.. fuck you!

Malcolm McDowell also does a voice in it.

I post and play at the same time. No worries. Just gives me something to do when nothing is on TV.

If there was good shit on TV after 11 PM, I wouldn't even have an XBox.

Not sure if you noticed, but you put health above alcohol. The drunk thread has invaded the Fallout thread. Fairly random occurrence.

What do you think so far OCBF? It gets better as you go. You have more freedom and will eventually realize how huge and open the game is.

If I'm dead, I can't drink. Also, it's M*ch*gan Weak (see what I did there?)...you should be out punching people wearing blue or yellow, or drinking beer. No time for your nintendo games. .

Was sitting down with bucks4me after watching some football Saturday early evening when she starts making a grocery list. As she's writing the list, she says, "Oh, what do you want for your birthday?" Without hesitating I say, "Fallout 3 Collectors Edition for the PS3! It comes in a lunchbox and includes a Vault Boy bobblehead!" The look she gave me lead me to believe the lunchbox and Vault Boy bobblehead weren't as important to her as they were to me.

So, we finish the grocery list, and after some back and forth I offer to go to Meijer and do the grocery shopping myself (and I wind up taking our 5 month old baby girl too).

Meh. I'm walking around Meijer and looking at the grocery list, when I noticed in the middle of the list is Fallout 3 Collector's Edition. Shame on bucks4me. She knows that I always stick to the grocery list.

So, I end up buying it -- to: me, from: her, for my birthday, which is still two weeks away. In a bout of silliness I also pick up a box of my favorite cake mix and icing (Duncan Hines orange cake & butter cream frosting, yummy). I get home and she says, "Did you buy yourself a card too?" Well, as we're unpacking groceries I leave Fallout 3 sitting on the kitchen counter with the receipt, implying she is supposed to take it and hide it, then wrap it and give it to me in two weeks. Surprise! She ends up taking it into the living room and sitting it on the stand beside the recliner next to the PS3 controller.

Is this a hint? Does she want me to have it tonight? No! It's a trap!!!

Oh Well. I couldn't resist. Two days later, this fucking game reminds me of the original two games I played on the PC ten years ago (aside from the part with the first person perspective right out of the womb, and my dad being Qui-Gon Jinn) ...

Oops, guess I don't want to go that way.
(die. reload game.)
Shit! Guess I can't go that way.
(die. reload game.)
Fuck! I don't have enough ammo to go this way.
(die. reload game.)
Hmm, making called shots to this guys head with a baseball bat isn't killing him as fast as I thought it would.
(die. reload game.)
No shit! That dude had a flamethrower?!
(die. reload game.)
Goddammit! I just used all 51 10mm rounds killing those three fire ants. Maybe I should restart and try again so I can get through this town with some ammo left!
(didn't die. reloaded game anyway to conserve ammo.)
