The Original Fallout Boy


Well, I've been playing Fallout 3 for more than 15 hours and still only done like 3 missions. Been just wondering the wastelands and foraging. It is a damn nice game and all my friends can attest that it will suck your soul in and never let you go till its had its way with you over and over again. Anyway, on to what you come here for.


Now Fallout has some glitches but is very normal for most people so I won't go into details. But it is one of those great games that try to kill me hard. Case in point: at level 4, I was doing the mole rat research for Moira. As you approach the area, theres a metro station nearby. Well, as I passed that point, I noticed a raider gang and talon company gang fighting it out so I waited till they whittled each other down so I could clean up. Well, they killed each other off so I happily looted their bodies but surprise, surprise, the game decided to throw 2 super mutants at me with miniguns when I passed the next building and i got ripped to shreds and they always spawned whenever I reload the area, finally forcing me to swim round them. I also encountered a bunch of Enclave (or is it Brotherhood?) outcasts fighting super mutants a while later which netted me 3 miniguns. Well, according to my friend X, who is probably finishing his 2nd playthrough, that shit never happened to him. And that supers were only supposed to be encountered at like level 9 or 10. If he reads this before school, I just want to say I faced my first mirelurk king at level 10. Also, at level 8, I once walked near bethesda ruins and there were 3 raiders with sniper rifles and i never saw them till i died.
Anyway, there are some funny moments in the game. Like when I opened a toilet door and a mole rat was using the urinal. I mean, it was standing upright and leaning over it and I was laughing so hard that it managed to damage me by 50% before i reacted again. or where a raider saved me by jumping in front of a 'glowing one' that killed him while i reloaded my shotgun.
Oh well, back to more adventures in the wasteland.
