Is there a bet somewhere on the chance of the DLC eventually ending up on the PS3 as well?

Maybe a game of the year edition at the end of the year. Unlikely anything before that though. MS will have arranged at least an exclusivity window that Bethesda haven't even mentioned the possibility of it yet.

The DLC is my most wanted game of 2009 actually :lol:

Well, that might be pushing it a bit, but it's very high on my list. I love this game so much that I can easily see myself playing this for many months to come. Eventually it will run out out of stuff to do or I'm through with it. I dread the day :D

I dug up some old article. It seems there were plans for a MMORPG set in the Fallout universe by Interplay. Is there still anything left of those plans?

I just did Reilly's Rangers. Good grief that must have taken me about 3 hours, not including all the time I spent trying to find the bloody hospital in the first place. I hate hate hate navigating the downtown area and the metro and I keep finding more and more of it.

Pics time, children! Non-quest spoilers abound.

Here's my gang, outside Megaton, just about to set out on another great adventure!

Here's a chess set that I found in on one of my adventures. I wish I'd taken a picture of it before picking it up, as I didn't have the patience to set all the pieces back exactly as I found them when I got back to my house, so I stuck them on my shelf. A word of warning if any of you find it also. Some of the pieces resized after I took them out of my bag and picked them back up again.

Here's a cute little guy(sic) who took me by suprise a little. Glad I packed a second jumpsuit for that journey.

On the pursuit of the bounty for Junders Plunkett, I learned that he was quite a fan of our favourite emancipator.

And finally, I found a place on the outskirts of DC today called Shelter. A very small place, but it still has to be one of the best places I've discovered so far.

This is what I was welcomed with at the entrance.

Upon venturing further down the corridor, I was met with this.

The route finally ended in this room.

I love Fallout 3. Such fantastic stories to ... LOL

Crap, it turns out I skipped a quest in the main quest line due to my amazing speech skills.

I didn't need to do Rescue from Paradise as I convinced the little twat of a Lamplight Mayor to let me through without any action on my side.

Maybe I should return to an earlier save just for the achievement then.

You can still do that no problem- no need to reload. Just go to Paradise Falls and

speak to the kids at the back of it. The quest will begin then.

The game doesn't usually trap you like that

I went into that Shelter and didn't notice any of that. I just grabbed everything and fucked off back to Megaton to sell it.

At level 16 now, 39 hours in. Still absolutely loving it. I didn't like VATS at first, but I love it now. Just running into a raider stronghold and you're blamming off heads with a magnum. God, best ice cream ever.

Just done Trouble On The Homefront.

I blew the new Overseer's head off and was politely asked to leave. Ungrateful...

Yeah cool, I actually found that out just now. I got started on 'Strictly Business', but it felt wrong so I reverted, shot the guard and triggered the quest after all.

Cool.

It does for Moira's Quests. If you're smart enough, you can give her a lot of the info she needs without going anywhere. I know a lot of the time this changes nothing as you can still go to the places she mentions, but for example, I wasn't given the component for the robot factory because I used a robotics expert dialogue choice. When I went there afterwards it felt like I'd missed out so I reloaded.

Tenpenny Tower Spoiler.

Dear Herbert "Daring" Dashwood.

I am truly sorry. Please forgive me. I let Roy and his gang into Tenpenny Tower because I felt that they were being unfairly discriminated against. They had just as much right to stay there as anyone else. I know you agreed with me on this, but I still take full responsibility for my actions.

I despise prejudice, and while I did everything I could to educate your fellow neighbours about the truth behind ghouls, the dialogue options simply weren't there. As bad as I felt forcing them out of their homes, I was convinced it was for a greater good, the promotion of equality and harmony.

Ironic then that, in the end, it was my own prejudice that caused all this. I was so blind with anger at the ignorance being portrayed by some of the Tower's residents, that I was unable to see that ghouls are equally capable of the same prejudice, the same fallability, the same capability for evil. They truly are human after all.

But it was not I who was punished for my sin, no. It was you, the noble adventurer, full of stories, insight and wisdom. It was Doctor Banfield, inquisitor, seeking to unlock the mysteries of the ghoul anatomy for the advancement of medicine. It was Irving "Comrade" Cheng and his wife Tiffany. It was Michael Hawthorne and dear old Margerate Primrose. I convinced you all that what I was doing was right. Perhaps, had I spent my skill points differently and wasn't so persuasive, you might all still be alive today.

When I learned of your death, I killed Roy Phillips in a fit of anger. At the time I had no remorse. Ghoul or no ghoul, he was an evil man. He couldn't see that he was simply the other side of a coin that he shared with Alistair Tenpenny. But am I so different? This whole mess happened because of my own ignorance, and after killing Roy, my karma level dropped 100 points. Am I destined to become him? I know you wouldn't have approved of my actions, and in this respect, I have once again failed you. But I swear, from this day forth, I will strive to be less like Roy Phillips, and more like you. I'm not off to a bad start though, I got my own mutant manservant (not a ghoul though, a supermutant!)

Speaking of which, I promised you that I would find Argyle. You were convinced he was out there somewhere and that was enough for me. It still is. I will find him Herbert, even though the questline is technically closed, and when I do, and if the dialogue tree is deep enough, I will tell him everything.

But until then, Herbert "Daring" Dashwood, I am truly sorry. Please forgive me
