I usually use my collection of cool melee weapons picked up. Too bad my 'Sneak' points isn't too much, or else I could have taken some more advantage on it!

But too bad... the 'Bloody Mess' trait has been changed. Instead of fragmenting the enemy - it's disintegrating/gibbing/reducing the opponent.

At least, I don't have to walk around back and forth to one city to another - there's the "Jump to" feature once you walked to that place. Too bad, Far Cry 2 didn't allow to do that. (except the bus stop)

BTW, anyone tried becoming "evil" in the game? Or are we all goody-boys?

I think unless you become evil and start selling people as slaves, you can't get into that "slave trader's town". I forgot what it's called.

I always play like as if I was actually making the choices. So most were nice (and I am a level 20 good character). Paradise Falls is the name of the slavers place. You get the Mezz gun there (which I did) and then I promptly cleared the whole place...

I just use VATS for that.

Me too, but how did get in? Shoot your way in? LOL! Cause if I remember correctly, they won't let you in unless you are a slaver.

Yeah, I use the VATS for that too. Just wondering what weapons are most effective. I tend to use the hunting rifle or Chinese assault rifle for Mirelurks.

Damn, now I know why I don't know where to go. LOL!!!

I only have these so far :
- Project Purity Personal Journal : Entry 1, 2 & 3
- Project Purity Journal : Entry 7 & 8

The #8 tape didn't mention anything about GECK so I think I do not have the tapes mentioned. I went back to Vault 106 again but couldn't find any additional tapes. There was a locked door though but I cannot get in because I do not have a lockpick skill of 100 yet.

I also went back to Vault 101 but there's no way to get in. I guess the holotapes must not be in there.

Dang.. Now I know why the Quest is so screwed up.

Here's an excerpt from the Fallout 3 wiki :

To successfully get the achievement for this quest, you must speak with Three Dog in the Galaxy News Radio quest, and have him give you the quest, as opposed to going to Rivet City and getting the quest from Dr. Li. Receiving the quest from Dr. Li disqualifies you from getting the achievement, as the first objective in the quest is to find Rivet City, and completing objectives out of order or before getting the quest can disqualify you from certain quest-based achievements. (Yes, it WILL disqualify you if you don't get the objectives in order. It will skip all the Rivet City and Doctor Li Stuff.) It is also possible to skip to the mission "Gain Access to Vault 112" if you have already travelled to Jefferson Memorial (on your own, not as part of the mission), and found the holotapes. After this, Three Dog and Doctor Li will not give you any information about your dads whereabouts whatsoever.

The good news is now I know where to go....

On a second note, I found Lincoln's Repeater. Man, that's a really SWEET weapon!

I'm still at the beginning... out of the vault and into the town nearby... dunno what it's called. Went into Atom Church, stole the food in the refrigerator, then got beaten up by the whole church.

I retried to steal when noone is watching, nothing happened, then I went out of the church and reentered, they started shouting and beating me up. KNN...

ROTFL!!! You went rogue so fast???

I still haven't realized the different color code, green and red at that time.

DYKT: You can gain UNLIMITED XP when you up your 'speech' and talk to someone at somewhere? When it fails? You use the same conversation again and again until it succeeds? Gain XP unlimited...

But I'm already beyond that... now have to deal with the crash that I have. Always crash at the Mart near to Megaton. Got to the front door, saw some gang coming... went over to the gang, then crashed!!! Now I'll try to avoid the gang 1st... see if ok or not.

And will also try this with ffdshow codec that was said to solve crashes...

*Now you'll need to configure the FFDshow codec.
-Go to START->All Programs->K-Lite Codec Pack->Configuration->ffdshow audio decoder
-Locate "OUTPUT" on the left menu.
-Click on it and then tick ONLY the LPCM option.
-Click "Apply"

Really????? Where and how? It's definitely a bug.

Hmm.... You sure it's not a driver problem? NVIDIA has admitted that their 181.20 WHQL driver will crash Fallout 3.

The mart where that lady at Megaton asked to research for food and supplies? Ok, I went pass that already. Somehow the bug disappear when I hid and waited for 7 hours.
