So I cleared this last night. ENDING SPOILARS

Was a bit disappointed with the closing act- giant robot aside it was both easy and a bit anticlimactic. I'm putting the game aside for the time being, but I'll go back to it- not for Trophies or Bobbleheads or stat-boosting, but to follow the string of satellite dishes along the north-east, to explore the north-west and south-east, which I never really went into, and just be one badass Regulator motherfucker.

Sequel plz.

I'm sure this is common but I just can't finish the bloody game!!!

Everytime I sit down thinking I'm going to clear up the last of the main quest I put in another 3-4 hours of whatever it is I have done for the past 60hrs+. Its like there is a part of my brain that pushes any thoughts of finishing it firmly aside as the title screen loads up.

I'm still enjoying it immensly but much like an attractive ex who keeps leaving message to play with your mind, I just want to move on. :)

I was so upset

when a sentry robot (the ones with the minigun) killed Dogmeat - I was faffing around with a pulse grenade and assumed he'd be fine, bang dead. It only occurred to me some hours later I could have just loaded the save preceding to keep him alive but I haven't done that at all in the game and don't want to so in a way it's better. Amazing the game can involve me emotionally that much, normally I couldn't give two hoots about something like that.

Its that type of game. The first time I came across a couple of skeletons cuddled up in bed I kept thinking about it for hours after. I'm sure I've seen something similar in other games and not been bothered much.

I just got on the bed with them, I'd had a rough night and needed the company.

I don't know why, but even though I'm a 'defiler' I still don't steal from houses, I have a habit of picking everything up and dropping it on the floor though, for that rifling-through-other-people's-stuff vibe. I also like dragging metal pots across shelves shouting "DIRTY ROTTEN SCREWS!"

No - it's kind of the other way around. There's a thing you can do in Rivet City which requires the pheromones, which you can get in Grayditch as well as buying them there.

Heh. I went the other way entirely by inadvertantly having the guy tell her to fuck off and leave him alone, then Dogmess going all mental and ripping her dads legs off.

For all the wastlanders I'd helped, she got royally screwed over.

Needless to say, Dogmeat got quite the scolding.

Same here. I've now completed every sidequest and the main quest has only one chapter left. But now I'm thinking to complete all the achievements first (get all the bobbleheads, hack 50 terminals, destroy all behemoths etc.). It's like stalling the inevitable. I just don't want it to end. That's why I'm a bit pissed the Broken Steel is delayed, because I'm not sure I can stall it another 2 months, and I'm afraid that if I complete it now I'll never return to it.

I went back for 2 things that i'd heard about & really wanted to see.

Agatha's Shack & her radio frequency (i'd already visited Vault 92 so had the Violin) & related to that, Vault-Tec HQ where I wanted to see what those twisted individuals had to say about their little science projects with human guinea-pigs. I got the first just fine, but i've been round the HQ twice searching everywhere & have somehow missed the key to the main computer room.

Beyond that though, I don't feel that inclined to go back. If they had let me keep amassing levels, Skills & Perks i'm sure I could have had lots of fun becoming some kind wasteland Superman where nothing could stand in my way, as why I totally understand why that should'nt be the case at the beginning, IMO it would have been a nice reward for those who want to go everywhere & see everything.

Just found the Slavers base and got a mission off the geezer at the door. My character is 'good' and I don't want to be enslaving people... can I just go on a killing spree in Paradise Falls and get rid of the mission or am I stuck with it now?

Tenpenny Tower related:

I killed everybody in Tenpenny Tower including the man himself. It all started with that overly effeminate clothes shop assistant. I did a makeover on him - took his head clean off. I threw Tenpenny off the top of his own tower, felt like poetic justice.

You won't complete the mission but if you gun down all the slaver scum the mission will be finished without being complete.

S'what I done. Slaver scum.

I did the quest for the achievement, but it felt so wrong that after getting the achievement, I returned to an earlier save and

killed all the slavers in the compound instead. My evil character will definitely go into this business though.

Put this to bed last night (but didn't tuck in the blanket). Nothing to say about the end that hasn't already been said and I will go back to an earlier save from time to time for some chievements and to clear up the odd place I haven't been to.

Its the game that has given me back my faith in this generation. I was giving up hope of experiencing the feelings and emotions I felt in the 80's and 90's and to a lesser extent with the previous gen or two. I was beginning to wonder if this and future generations of gaming was not going to be for me but thanks to this game there is hope.

I picked this up again recently and spent practically all of yesterday and today on it. This is a bad thing as I needed to get fuckloads of shit done instead :( Damn my lack of self control. Still, I've cleared up the side quests and now have to move to

vault 112

.

One question, what are the

blue key cards

for? I have 2 of them now.

Got all the bobbleheads now, yay! I'm just going to get the behemoths tomorrow before finishing off the main quest, then maybe getting the DLC.

I'm stuck on 47 speech challenges though, and don't know of anyone left in the game to dazzle with my speech skills to get up to 50. Are there any speech challenges in the DLC?
