Forum Overview :: Christopher Walken Killed Everyone in "Ripper"
 
Fallout 3 (some spoiler stuff, first hour or so, Megaton related) by Ice Cream Jonsey 11/01/2008, 6:15am PDT
I wanted to see what would happen if I nuked Megaton. I didn't want to play that way permanently, but I did want to see what it would look like. In fact, I only knew you could save the Sheriff because I wandered into a thread on Quarter to Three. It took me seven tries to get it right before Burke killed the Sheriff - I had to load up on some drugs to successfully do enough damage in the little window you get.

After creating a save game there, I went back to an earlier save and activated the nuke. Here are some screens:



Interrogation! Much like Obama and Hillary blasting McCain during the primaries, my gal and Lucas took our frustrations out on the older white guy in Fallout 3. Just kidding! Hillary was on McCain's side during the democratic primary.




Gorgeous! It really is breath-taking. Maybe I am playing the wrong games, but I've never set off a nuclear weapon in a game like this before. Letting me personally activate it from a briefcase was a very nice touch.




Trackball! I centered it correctly for a better photo here.




Revolution! My gal had a missile launcher, and Tenpenny and Burke... did not. I blew up Burke with a rocket, and then beat the shit out of Tenpenny (who whipped out a sniper rifle, ha ha ha!). I do plan on putting her back in her armor from the first screen shot, I just liked that Burke's outfit somehow had high heels. That's why he needed to die: he's carrying around women's clothing in the dystopia "just in case." What a sick fucker. (I am definitely grabbing that hat if I do another play through with a male character. Fallout 3 will include Borrowed Time as a mini-game.)

After murdering these two, I was able to go enter the building, kill the security guard in VATS, and proceed downstairs where I headshot a resident. I took every drug I had on me and took out the remaining guards. That is where I stopped playing and went back to my original save: I really could see just going with the flow and playing from here. I didn't want Lucas to die, though. I guess that was my only complaint in all this: you could not warn people to maybe get out of town. That would have made it all perfect. As it stands, it's still pretty goddamn fun. Fallout 3 is officially the best game I have played this year - Gravitron 2 is still close, but FO3 has now really impressed me.


the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey!
