Watch me play a shitty game (Fallout 3) (COMPLETED!!)

[Piety]

FACT: When I first played this I was so pissed when I discovered the Family that I killed every one of those annoying fucks. Beginning with Vance. In the face.

 

[MetalCraze]

I think Driackin should just play the game by killing everyone. There is no point in letting those morons live. Starting with Arefu please.

 

[Chefe]

I forget who can only be knocked unconscious, but I was expecting you to slaughter the entire Family and Arefu after you finished their quests.

I watched my friend play FO3 while we were dorm roommates, and it was as good a deterrent as there is against playing this game. I'm a pretty big fan of both Fallout games, and it's common for me to effusively dickride those games while deriding new age RPG's while we're out drinking. So I'm as good an emissary for the Codex as I can be while watching my buddy play this piece o' shit. I decide to take FO3 seriously, and to really give it a chance, wanting to allow it to suck me in.

But then, unconsciously, I begin lobbying for him to destroy Megaton. And after watching the town explode in bloom ejaculate, I began to wonder: Does anyone actually *not* blow that town the fuck up? Even I, someone who pretty much never plays 'evil,' wanted to see the most hyped up part of this game. I guess part of it was meeting the jackoffs who live there and wishing violent death upon them all. That's not a good sign if you play a game and immediately feel irrational dislike for the characters you meet.

Anyway, this is a funny as hell LP. Thanks for the laffs.

Same thing. I also slaughtered Arefu. Luckily I never encountered Little Lamp or whatever the Peter Pan town is. Utter shit.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Funny how even blowing Megaton up doesn't affect your gameplay that much. I started playing F3 with good karma and got to level 17 and then just started killing innocents - all it did was add some rare "oh you evil, we kill you!" encounters. Old grandmas still hoped what I'll help them cross the street.

OH GOD JESUS WHY

 

[Black]

beth's target audience sure knows how to mod shit.

 

[MetalCraze]

"Modders will fix it!" - remember?

As did I.

I shot Ian in the head, with a silenced pistol, with the door closed, and everybody in the Family went balistic on me, so I offed them too.

Then, when I returned to Arefu, EVERYBODY WAS FUCKING HOSTILE!

Disregarding the fact they should have welcomed me back with a parade and 72 virgins for doing their dirty work --- how the hell could they have known what I'd done in some hole in the ground where NONE OF THEM COULD SEE ME?????

Ingrateful bitches. Once I got the mesmatron, Arefu was the first place I headed.

 

[DriacKin]

"Modders will fix it!" - remember?

They are fixing it:

Clearly, vanilla Fallout 3 wasn't gritty and mature enough.
These modders are fixing this obvious flaw by adding more matureness to the game.

I don't think that NPCs in the ES engine games can switch factions on the fly, so the vamps and Arefufu were probably allied. You kill one, the rest go hostile. If someone has the game they can probably check this in the CS (I could be wrong and they can switch factions, or Ian is always allied with Arefu and since you killed him everyone else goes hostile, because there's no check to see if he's actually in town or not).

Yes, you are correct. (Just another indicator of how on rails this quest is).

A more "mature, dark, gritty" ending would be thus:

1) You convince Ian that he's "cured" and to come back to Arefu with you --- only to have the angry townsfolk lynch him. (Or, alternatively, you cap him in the head on the walk back).

2) You convince Ian he's a monster, and doesn't deserve to live --- he kills himself.

In any case, you inform Lucy (even her name is a Dracula reference!) of her parents fate, and she either:

a) Kills herself out of grief and a conviction that the world is too cruel to live in.

b) Leaves Megaton for Arefu to bury her parents / brother --- vowing revenge on the Family, she becomes "Lucy the Vampire Hunter"! (tm, patent pending, all rights reserved).

This is quite nitpicky, but who says "I nearly blasted you in two!"? I've heard of a lot of things happening after someone explodes/gets shot/blasted but bisection is not one of them. Am I anal or is my rage justified? Evan needs to work on his metaphors.

 

[Brother None]

I don't think that NPCs in the ES engine games can switch factions on the fly, so the vamps and Arefufu were probably allied.

Correct but incorrect. Ian is part of the Arefu faction probably, I don't know...

Arefu and the Family become allied automatically once you convince Ian to return regardless of how you do this, but they're not allied before that point.

A notorious bug, one I had the pleasure of encountering, goes like this: you pass Robert peacefully, then kill the vampires inside the next area. Then you talk to Ian, show him the letter, and he heads back. If you go out and kill Robert before exiting, Arefu will become hostile as you killed an allied NPC.

It's a bit of a broken quest, though not nearly as broken as Big Trouble in Bigtown was initially (I think they patched it up a bit now). But regardless of brokenness, it is probably the dumbest quest and location setup in Fallout 3. And that's saying something...

...No wait, Oasis is dumber. But Blood Ties is a close second.

 

[Chefe]

Ah, thanks for clearing that up, BN. I never spent much time with the game so I didn't get a chance to look into its quirks. I threw it out almost immediately after quickly completing it due to sheer disgust.

Edward_R_Murrow:

It's a mildly amusing timesink; but that's not saying much. Ultimately, it just doesn't work for me. It flies in the face of most everything I felt Fallout 1 did so well. Closing things off, Fallout 3 is a lot like a wasteland; you're searching through it looking for a little something good, something to keep you going, but to do that you have to go through a whole lot of bad and it just might not be worth it and you might not want to go on.

And MOAR! Finish the Main Quest.... and save your sanity!

 

[sportforredneck]

I hate niggers.

 

[WholesaleGenocide]

Gahahahha. Best LP ever. That fucking vampire quest was honestly the most embarrassingly sad idea in existence.

 

[DefJam101]

This game is all types of fail.
