Today’s game is Fallout 3. I finished gathering up the Radar dish today and climbed the Washington Monument to hang it up there. Honestly, seeing something like that, that I recognize from real life is just a “wow” moment. Like. You see it and approach it and there’s just this factor of “I recognize that!” Regardless of current state of things, it was cool to see in game and get to climb.
I went bumped into willow and found out about the colony of Ghouls. I didn’t know that was a thing so I’ll have to check it out on my way back. I’m curious to see what all they have going on.
I made it to Rivet City today before ending off. I had heard about it but had no idea it was a big aircraft carrier. It’s kind of cool to get to it up close. I had some trouble finding my way in though. My first attempt I tried to swim. Second I found the bridge. That was maybe 10 minutes of looking.
I went ahead and continued the main quest, along with talking to this dork who’s apparently from the institute from everything I’ve heard about him online. I love when games do this kind of stuff. Lay out little inconsequential details that end up becoming relevant later. It’s really cool to see. It does make me want to play Fallout 4 again though so maybe I’ll have to do that.
Yeah Fallout 3’s main story is pretty much garbage. Spoiler warning for anyone who hasn’t played fallout 3 and wants too don’t read any further. You can skip a good chunk of the story if you just head straight to Smith Casey’s Garage. The vault below isn’t locked behind advancing the main quest, so you can just appear and start the Tranquility Lane simulation. From there you can go in the abandoned house and input the correct code to active the fail safe and bypass a good chunk of the main story if you really don’t want to play through most of it.
also this way will get you a key to some loot at hamiltons hideaway since three dog no longer has james location to bargain
