I think you gotta take a subway to get there.

I remember just wandering around and finding it so maybe I just got lucky.

got it in the mail today

such a bad time between 1 project and 3 tests between now and monday..

random question- i bought it for ps3 before i knew it was inferior to 360. does walmart do exchanges with games with no receipts? (i havent opened it yet) i bought it on toysrus.com but i dont think i can return it at toysrus since i got it for a discount and you need a receipt there.

This game is so much like Oblivion - the whole framework is the same with a new skin and a few new features. Not that this is a bad thing - Oblivion was damn fun!

Yeah I have no problem with that. Oblivion is one of my all time favorite games.

As much as I love Oblivion, I just can\'t get into Fallout 3. I mean, it\'s impressive, but for some reason, I turn it on, play it five minutes and lose interest.

finally got a chance to start playing it.

it\'s pretty cool. still not fully my type of game since the shooting parts right now are 100% me trying to conserve ammo, which is hard as hell to do in this game.

wasn\'t insanely engrossed by it but 5 hours still managed to fly by while playing it

Having the same problem, I simply can\'t get engrossed in it. When I played Oblivion, I didn\'t bother with the gates, until I done every side story that was possible for me. I was just engrossed in that world, this one, I don\'t know, it just doesn\'t seem as appealing.

complete turnaround for me and this game. still not totally sunk into the setting of a post-apocalyptic, futuristic 1950\'s feel thats supposed to be a huge part of the experience..but im completely into the gameplay.

when i was in the city with all the fire ants and no ammo, i felt like i was regretting buying this over gears/lbp/etc, but after running into the brotherhood of steel and being able to use good weapons, im loving the game. i dont think shooting ghouls in the head with that bolt-action rifle will ever get old

Where the hell is this Brotherhood? I\'ve just went thru the sewers trying to find the radio tower and soon as I walk out of the sewers, a bunch of Super Mutants kill me.

im not sure what station is called what. basically i was doing the \'follow your footsteps\' mission going to the GNR building following the dotted line, using the sewers. then i came out the station where the dotted line told me, took a left (i think..iv been getting lost in the stations) around some buildings to stay away from people and ran into them.

they were doing a raid on some super-mutants mutants that were threatening the GNR building

if you went to the GNR building i would think you would have to have run into them or saw them. they dont shoot you so i started talking to everyone. find the blonde chick with no helmet, shes the leader to talk to

(im not in the brotherhood..but i followed them around and helped so i didnt have to kill 5+ super mutants on my own)

i also ran into a skirmish at the station closest to the doctor in the sewers. got a flamethrower from that

Meeting the brotherhood is part of the quest to go to the GNR building.

I think I\'m about at the end of the main quest line, so I\'m taking my time and doing some side quests.

Still loving the game, but its still not as good as oblivion was... just not as much to do.

Why can\'t we post videos in this forum? I tried to embed a video but it doesn\'t come up in here but it does in Off-Topic.

anyone else find it really fucking annoying that its impossible to travel above ground? every single path in an area is blocked by debris.

i like the game a lot but it really kills the traveling aspect of the game

« **Reply #58 on:** January 21, 2009, 08:42:38 PM »

Haven\'t really had an issue with it. Got about half way through the game before school caught up to me. Plan on finishing sometime this century.

« **Reply #59 on:** January 21, 2009, 10:07:40 PM »

Some areas of the map are wide open and intended for surface travel. Other areas are choked with debris, and intended for very specific routes through the metro tunnels. It\'s only annoying if you try to find a specific point without a quest to guide you. If you have the quest selected, you can follow the dotted lines to the correct metro entrances.

Of course once you find a location you can just fast travel to it, and it ceases to be an annoyance.

I guess they were limited in the amount of data they could cram into a DVD, so they couldn\'t design the entire downtown area.
