Next update: We finally get out of this vault.

You mean from the vault that no one ever enters and no one ever leaves. Umm...okay.

For some, their fallout 3 experience is not clouded by experience with prior fallouts?

Also, good luck finishing the LP, how much % of the game is left and how many months do you estimate it will take to finish this?

I just forgot that F3 had these:

I have no words describing how stupid the idea and the execution are.

Why would I? I have Codex for that:
"Oh forget that it's a Fallout sequel and enjoy it for what it is!/Forget that there are other RPGs and enjoy it as your first!"

@Mighty Mouse: It has nothing to do with playing previous Fallouts - the game just treats the player like a diagnosed retard.

"We're born in the vault, we die in the vault" is so lame. I remember how much Bethesda pushed that in their PR, expecting it to be picked up as an uber-cool super-written line. Poor guys, they don't even know they're horrible writers.
There is this amazing plot twist where you find out that vault had a lot of contact with outside world. We wouldn't like the player missing it because he's dumb and can't remember any plot element that wasn't shout in his face fifty times or so, would we?

Update Time!!

Part 4 – The Great Escape

Here’s where we left off:
086.jpg


MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Is it Birthday Party time again?!!

i3.jpg
No. Today’s not your birthday.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
:( How long until the next birthday party?

i3.jpg
That was the only birthday party in the game. No more birthday parties.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
:( This game sucks.

AmataSmall.jpg
Hey, you two. Quit bickering and wake up.

087.jpg


MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Ugh. Why do I have to see your ugly face first thing when I wake up?

AmataSmall.jpg
Shut up. Plus, it’s not like you’re gonna get any other girl around here.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Whatever… Why the hell did you wake me up?

088.jpg


i3.jpg
Well, it’s a good thing your dad’s men didn’t think to check in our room.

AmataSmall.jpg
What’s your point?

i3.jpg
Wouldn’t this be the first place you’d search if you were looking for us? In our OWN FUCKING ROOM?

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
I guess they just weren’t [Intelligent] enough to realize that.

i3.jpg
:facepalm:

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Anyway, why they look for me? I do nothing wrong.

089.jpg

FACT: Jonas was the black guy, who also happened to be your dad’s assistant.

090.jpg


i3.jpg
They’ll kick you and beat you and they’ll tell you it’s fair. So beat it… *sings*

AmataSmall.jpg
Stop it. This is serious.

i3.jpg
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right. Just beat it…Just beat it… *starts dancing*

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Just ignore him.

AmataSmall.jpg
:( I’m just a little traumatized. I’ve never seen anyone killed before.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
You’re not gonna start crying are you?

091.jpg


MainCharacterSmall.jpg
WTF? One second ago you were all acting all traumatized and stuff. And now you’re acting like it didn’t even affect you.

AmataSmall.jpg
I don’t know. I guess I just got over it.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
In two seconds?

AmataSmall.jpg
I just repressed the memory. No big deal. I’m sure it won’t haunt me later in life or anything.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Dude, you have serious emotional issues.

AmataSmall.jpg
Look, we can talk about that later. Right now, you need to get out of here before my daddy finds you.

i3.jpg
You better run. You better leave while you can… just beat it…*still dancing and singing*

092.jpg


AmataSmall.jpg
So, did your dad ever tell you why he left the vault?

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Nope. Daddy Neeson never mentioned any of this to me. Complete surprise to me.

AmataSmall.jpg
Really? I mean, isn’t it just a little weird that he’d just leave and abandon his only son without telling you what’s going on?

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
I told you: I don’t know what’s going on. Anyway, why’s your dad so mad anyway?

AmataSmall.jpg
He’s really angry. He thinks this could jeopardize the safety and the integrity of the vault.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
How? I mean, weren’t these vaults designed so that they could only be opened from the inside. It’s not like Daddy Neeson’s can sneak other people in here. It’s not like guys from the outside can attack us.

AmataSmall.jpg
I don’t know. He’s just angry. Anyway, you need to hurry before daddy finds you.

093.jpg


MainCharacterSmall.jpg
GUN!!

AmataSmall.jpg
Be careful with this thing. Only use it if you have to.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Whatever. Nobody stands in my way now. :ManiacalLaugter:

094.jpg

FACT: She’s lying. This is a Bethesda game. Killing “the whole security force” is actually quite easy.

AmataSmall.jpg
OK. I’ll try to meet you by the exit. Good luck.

But… before we head out, we search our room for anything useful. We find:
095.jpg

Baseball bat!!

096.jpg

Our old BB-gun!!

097.jpg

and some medical supplies!!

Anyway, we’re finally ready to leave our room and head for the exit.
098.jpg

Outside our room, we find this security guard. He’s being attacked by giant roaches.

099.jpg

After he kills the roaches, he attacks us.

100.jpg

He’s pretty easy to kill. Anyway, we loot his body and take his armor/helmet (which we immediately equip afterwards.)

101.jpg

Remember Butch? (He’s the dude who was a bully to us and our girlfriend.)

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Dude, you used to be an asshole to me. I’m not helping you.

102.jpg


MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Fine... I’ll help your mom.

103.jpg

FACT: The mom isn’t trying to fight off the roaches or anything. She’s just sitting there.

Anyway, we kill the 3 roaches quite easily. Each roach only takes one swing of our bat to kill.

i3.jpg
Wait. Why is there a giant roach infestation here?

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Well... when Daddy Neeson left the Vault, all sorts of chaos started.

i3.jpg
WTF does that have to do with giant roaches? Where the hell did they come from?

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
I don’t know. The game never really explained that.

i3.jpg
Also, why is this even a big issue? These roaches are easy as shit to kill. One hit and they’re dead. WTF is everyone freaking out?

i3.jpg
Whatever. Let’s just get our reward and get on with the game.

104.jpg

For saving his mommy, he gives us his jacket, which is a pretty useless item.

Anyway, we venture forth, killing some more giant roaches and security guards along the way:
105.jpg

I make this guy’s face explode by shooting him with an old pistol.

We finally find this guy:
106.jpg

Note how the Overseer’s character model hasn’t aged at all in the last 19 years (neither has Daddy Neeson for that matter) :(
FACT: Middle-aged guys don’t age.

107.jpg

FACT: Fallout 3 doesn’t give you the option to turn yourself in and end this peacefully.

108.jpg

Even if you select the last dialogue option and surrender, he’ll still attack you.

109.jpg

And… then he attacks us.

110.jpg

We kill him pretty easily.

111.jpg

We loot the body and take his “Terminal Password”. This will help us hack into his computer.

112.jpg


AmataSmall.jpg
Why you kill daddy?

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Umm… because he attacked me? I mean, he was a bit of a psycho.

AmataSmall.jpg
:cry:

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Not only that. I killed him with his own gun that you stole and gave to me.

AmataSmall.jpg
:cry: :cry: :cry:

i3.jpg
Dude, that was kind of mean.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Whatever. We don’t need her anymore. We’re getting outta here.

113.jpg

Anyway, we head over to the Overseer’s computer and use it to open his secret door.

114.jpg

This is the secret passage, which leads to…

115.jpg

The Vault Door. Dramatic music plays as the vault door opens.

116.jpg

As we step outside for the first time in our life, the sun is blinding.

117.jpg

But, after a few seconds, it returns to normal.

So, at this point, we gained enough xp to level up.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Level Up! Yay!

118.jpg

We have 20 skill points to allocate. The number of skill points you get depends on your intelligence stat.
I put 5 points each into lockpick, science, small guns and speech.

119.jpg

We also get to select a perk every time we level up. I picked this one.

120.jpg

At this point, I decided to look in our journal to figure out what we’re supposed to do next.

i3.jpg
WTF?

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
What’s wrong?

i3.jpg
How do we know we should “investigate the nearby town of Megaton”?

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
What’s wrong with knowing that?

i3.jpg
This is the first time we’ve been outside the vault, right?

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Yeah.

i3.jpg
And we don’t know anything about the outside world, right?

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Yeah.

i3.jpg
Well, how the hell could we possibly know there’s a nearby town called Megaton?

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
I don’t know. I’ve never heard of that name in my life.

i3.jpg
Then why the fuck did you write that down in your journal?

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
I don’t know... I think I saw it in my dreams. In my dream, we went to a town called Megaton.

i3.jpg
:facepalm:

121.jpg

FACT: The quest compass in this game is identical to the one in Oblivion. It guides you directly to the specific spot on the map that you’re supposed to go to next.

i3.jpg
So, not only do you know the name of this town we’ve never heard of… but you also know exactly where it is on the map?

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Yeah, that was part of my dream as well.

i3.jpg
:headdesk:

As we head towards the target, we come across this sign:
122.jpg


MainCharacterSmall.jpg
See? I told you it wasn’t bullshit. Megaton does exist.

i3.jpg
I think you missed my point.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Well... maybe it was just a really big coincidence.

i3.jpg


123.jpg


I’m going to stop here. I need some vodka.


Here’s a sneak peak of the next update:

Aww, why didn't you read the file on the overseer's computer with the great PLOT TWIST that people have left the vault a kajillion times and they let new people in too?

Because then "NO ONE ENTERS NO ONE LEAVES" doesn't sound cool.

In Soviet Russia you say "about 50 years old" instead of "middle-aged". The translators probably tried to bring some incline, but they didn't stand a chance against Beth's new writers.

Uh...you picked Swift Learner? Considering the fact that this game pretty much throws XP at you for everything (try walking 100 feet in any direction without gaining XP), that's easily one of the most useless perks. Only Here and Now is worse.

Nonsensical plot twist. How do you plausibly uphold the legend that no one enters and no one leaves and still explain away that people disappear (without leaving a corpse, that is) and new people come in all the time?

Oh, don't be such a party pooper.
It's Emil's masterful writing at work.
I mean, how many games both establish AND twist such a plot during the tutorial alone?

That's innovation right there.

As much as I hate to point this out --- this part right here? One of the few instances of C&C in the game:

There's a quest later on, where you recieve a distress call from Vault 101 --- thing is, you only get it if you left the Overseer alive. Yes, it is possible to sneak out of Vault 101 without confronting the Overseer.
