I\'ve clocked 115 hours thus far, and not planning to finish right yet; pretty much doing plenty of exploring and completing the sidequests.

I bought this game months ago and totally forgot to install it and play it (PC)... I know what i\'m gonna do tonight.

How many hours did you guys put into it?

Hoping it will keep me busy until Modern Warefare 2 comes out.

totally loving this game so far.  About 6 hours into it... killed that A-hole gang member in the vault (who was too chicken shit to help out his mom who was being attacked).  I also attacked and killed the overseer and a couple guards right in front of that chick... oh well.

Deactivated the atomic bomb in megatron and now I\'m getting sucked into the side quests.  Just found "the family" and got the message to IAN and convinced the family to guard the town in turn for pints of blood.  Ran across my first super mutant at the outdoor movie theatre... killed him too.  So far i\'m not having a hard time keeping stocked with ammo, but I imagine I will at some point (playing on normal difficulty).

Getting ready to get back onto the main quest track, but these side missions can be pretty fun.  Enjoying it very much so far.  Any recommendations on what abilities I should build up.. or perks I should get early on?

I started playing this game again myself, because i\'d like to get the 5 DLC\'s for it.

But so far its reminded me how great this game is. I went Big Guns - Explosives - Lock Picking for my tag skills and I keep Science midway at 50. Lock Pick is at 100 and with science at 50 I can do all computers Average or lower - can go a lil bit higher and pop some mentats and boost science up another 10 temporarily. Also gonna make myself a good guy during this play through.

JBean - if you ever get a free chance load a new game and just run into megaton but this time agree to blow the bomb up with Mr Burke in the saloon. Its awesome :D

Moira Brown in Megaton sells a schematic for a big gun called the Rock-It Launcher - never bothered with building weapons the first time around but this gun is badass!! Its ammo is junk you find lying around. Its great blowing somebodies head off with a dinner plate or a toaster hehe and as long as there is junk around then you got ammo. I\'ve saved sooo much ammo for my other guns by using this thing. Does decent damage in its own right and once you load it with your junk you don\'t have to reload again until its completely empty and needs more junk.

Also a lil tip for anyone at the start when your playing with you S.P.E.C.I.A.L points
You can get a bobble head for every one of your special points so never put them past 9 at the start.
Strength and Perception have their bobble head but there is also a quest called \'Those!\' where at the end you get to choose to put 1 points in either of those two. So never put Strength or Perception past 8.

That rule applies for Luck as well. Bobble head and there are some glasses you can get that are +1 Luck. These glasses can be worn at the same time with your helmet. So never have Luck up past 8 either.

Does anyone here have Point Lookout and The Pitt? How is Point Lookout? and I heard that The Pitt is immensely buggy, has it been patched, is it a smooth play through?

Going to get Broken Steel for sure, never knew that raised the level cap to 30 before :D

There is also an 8-ball you can get from Big Town that gives +1 luck as long as you are carrying it.

Oh sweet I didn\'t know about the 8 ball :D

I\'m restarting again but this time i\'m getting Comprehension Perk at Lvl 4 - didn\'t think it\'d be a big deal but I didn\'t realize how many books there are and getting 2 points instead of 1 point is an extra 50 points per skill if I hunt out the books. Trying to make a \'good at everything\' character hehe

Now have the ghoul mask, so I can enter the metro tunnels or any place with ghouls and not have any worries.  I eneded up letting Roy & his feral ghouls into tenpenny tower and looted right along side of them.  

Started in on the main quest again after a lot of side quests.  Found the GNR building... and had some fun with the fatboy/mini nukes and my first behemoth.  Now working towards repairing the antenna so i\'m headed towards the museum of technology.

Awesome game :thumb:

My one complaint was that there were definitely not enough behemoths running around seeing as I had a shit ton worth of mini-nukes at my disposal.

Yes, I collected mini-nukes also and hardly ever used them.

It was fun expending the Nuka-Grenades during the final battle outside the Jefferson Memorial.  Those things really kick ass.

I hear that Bethesda(spel) is going to release all 5 DLC\'s on one disk sometime around october....which i think is a brilliant move...i\'ll definitely be picking that up.

Just made it up to the republic of dave and he gave me the key to give to mr crowley.  I\'m trying to rig the election so Dave loses, but I couldn\'t remember how to do it.  I\'ll have to read the fallout wiki on that again and try tonight.

The freaking deathclaws are kicking my ass.  I try to stay away from them if at all possible.  Is there anything that works good to hurt them?  I can typically survive and kill one, but they usually fuck me up pretty good.
