Careful with that gun. While insanely awesome, pinning heads and limbs to the wall with railway spikes, it caused a crazy amount of crashes in my game.

360 version. The railway gun is an awesome weapon, but there are reports here there and everywhere that its causing the game to me more crash worthy.
And I can attribute that since Ive stopped using it, my crashes have gone to one every 6 hours of play or so. As opposed to one every three minutes in some areas when I was firing the rifle.

I know theres Jericho for sure in Megaton (so don't blow up the town before recruiting him).
You can buy Charon the ghouls contract from this guy in the underworld, good or evil.

I was never able to get Jericho on my evil playthrough (didn't have the money, is there another way to get him?), but on my good playthrough Charon has been damn handy. I love that guy. I made him wear Power Armor, reading glasses, and a very pretty bonnet :3

Best companion to get in the game you have to be neutral for, the Army Mr Gutsy robot that the robot dealer is selling near the RobCo factory.
Goddamn overly impressive accuracy.
Also - slapping your companion up in a suit of tesla armor (works if you get Star Paladin Cross on your good character) and giving them a shishkebab to wield makes them a pretty scary awesome companion.

In other news, I have 100 hours sunk into the game according to my savegame and... and...
I only JUST finished 'The Waters of Life' quest. Still have about 5-6 sidequests to do also.
Thats right. Im living the wasteland. I just dont want it to ever end. Hell, I spent about an hour or two decorating my house with the civil war artifacts I found.

It certainly had an effect on mine. I used to be a huge fan of NMA, because I've been eating, breathing and living the Fallout Wasteland my whole life, from the game 'Wasteland' and on.
But NMA is a bunch of assholes who are too jaded to see a good game in a Fallout setting right in front of them. Seriously, they can suck my cack for the way they act, considering Fallout 1 is to Wasteland as Fallout 3 is to Fallout 1 & 2.
I hate them and hate having associated with them once upon a time.

I think I kinda agree with what they're saying though. I ain't gonna argue, but Fallout 3 does feel a lot like Oblivion with guns, and as awesome as that may be for me and you, not everyone likes that. And for the record i've played Fallout, but not Fallout 2 so I don't agree with everything NMA say thats for sure.
11/17/08
Have you read through their boards? The seething anger at Fallout 3 astounds me.
And the oblivion with guns thing... well, sure, its a bit like that, but honestly, I couldnt get through Oblivion. Bored me to tears. I might try it again because I've loved Fallout so much, but it wasn't for me.
And after playing this game, Im not sure how they could have done a RPG first/third person freeroaming game any other way. Except maybe put the child killing back in (but PC mods can take care of that), especially when the bastards from little lamplight steal my things when Im sleeping.

Also, my dog died. I got that pet dog, "Dogmeat," and some asshole Raider killed him. Oh, I made it my mission to take them all out, no matter how much ammo I wasted.

See, I had the animal perk that made animals fight for me. Dogmeat was particularly vicious in a fight, and did a lot of good for me. If nothing else, he distracted them enough for me to kill them. I got attached.

If finishing the game was all there was to it, you could literally beat the game in under three hours.
Go and see what's out there!
