Any Fallout 3 fans here?

Cause I'm thinking of starting a blog 'journal.' Basically writing out blog posts as if it were my character keeping a journal of his journey through the Capital wastes.

Would anybody be interested in reading something like this? I'll probably be using some harsh language(since Fallout 3 proper doesnt shy away from it, I dont see why I should), so I'm going to ask people to PM me for the link once I get it set up.

If you promise to reverse-pickpocket grenades into EVERYONE'S pants, I'll read it.

It'd be interesting to read, for sure.

No can do, I only reverse pickpocket mini-nukes.

I'd be all up on that. Fallout 3 is awesome.

Incidentally, I was going to write something similar for New Vegas.

Fallout 3 & NV > Oblivion

Sounds interesting anyways.

I thought about doing New Vegas, but I figured Fallout 3 would be easier since your character has a more defined background, and New Vegas assumes a greater level of knowledge about the Fallout universe. I may, depending on my experence with this journal do one for New Vegas, or maybe some other 'open world' game, Dragon Age Origins, or Oblivion, or maybe even Skyrim if I ever get my hands on it.

Anyway the blog is up, PM me if you want the link to follow it. Right now all I'v got is an introduction. It'll probably be a day or two before I get the actual journal started, because I want to finish another game I'm doing first, plus I wont start the Journal until after I reach Megaton.

This sounds interesting. I was thinking of restarting a Skyrim character and doing exactly what you're talking about. There's another guy who did something like this for Oblivion and Skyrim characters. His character's were the kind where he'd try to roleplay as best he can realistically, and if he died in the game, that was it for the character, no matter when it happened or how. It's an interesting concept, and I'd like to do something like it myself.

**Sir-Think-A-Lot** · May 6th 2012, 09:52 PM

My plan is to role play as realistically as possible as if it was me that was raised in the vault and then suddenly released. I'll probably focus less on what I am doing in the game, and more on how my character is feeling about the events and such transpiring around him. I wont write my characters death(unless I do so after the main game and all side-quests are done), but I did plan on doing 'no reloads except for death' rule. If I get locked out of a computer, kill a major character, blow up megaton...too bad I'm stuck with it. I was actually inspired to do this by someone who did it for Dragon Age Origins.

Depending on my experence with this, my own time constraints, and so on, I may later do one for New Vegas or some other game(not Skyrim, since I dont have that game).

**Brandalf85** · May 6th 2012, 10:16 PM

The more I think about it, the more excited I am for a Skyrim blog. I probably won't do a "no reload" thing if I die, but if I die, not sure. I'd probably do a "Game Day" per blog to make it easy to blog. End each time with some sleep, if possible, and start the next with him waking up. I'll have to do some thinking on my approach to it, what race I'd like to play, and everything. It's a neat idea though.

Also, thanks for the link. I will be reading this one for sure.

**Sir-Think-A-Lot** · May 11th 2012, 09:29 PM

The first entry is up. Hopefully I'll have a new journal entry every day from this point foreward.

I just came in here to say New Vegas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Fallout 3

**Leonhard** · December 3rd 2012, 06:33 AM

I think Fallout 3 had the best main quest, but New Vegas had better gameplay (especially if you set it to hardcore) and a more fleshed out world. It came closer to the experience of Fallout 1&2.

And it had this song.

**Soyeong** · December 3rd 2012, 07:19 AM

I've been thinking about getting into this series, but for a while all I've heard was that Fallout 3 and NV were buggy and poor ports to PC, plus I'm not the biggest fan of FPS's, so I've been undecided. I know I have Fallout 1 and 2 on disc somewhere, but I doubt they are compatible on Windows 7, so I'd probably have to repurchase them anyway.

**picasso** · December 3rd 2012, 09:10 PM

I'm one of those who has only played Fallout 3, sadly. It's a great game, though. I plan on getting New Vegas sometime, and I may even try out 1 or 2 (Has anyone here played those?)
