Fallout 3

Lincoln repeater will be fun, I'm sure... haven't found it yet.

Chinese Assault Rifle, Rail Gun, and my Combat Shotgun are my friends at the moment.

Energy Weapons is creepin' up there also in points, but Small Guns is where all my current offense lies.

I'm up to almost 3k caps, tempted to hire the evil follower in Megaton. Are followers even necessary?

I know in the original Fallout games they were.

Walkin' around with Dogmeat and Jericho is a blast.. especially with the Mysterious Stranger perk (he shows up about 1 out of every 4 fights, which is awesome)...

..nice havin' a posse.

What's the mysterious stranger thing?

It's a Perk you can choose when your character gets to a higher level. With this Perk, during a fight, there's a chance that a "mysterious stranger" will show up and help you finish off your opponents, then leave. I haven't choosen this Perk yet, anyone know if it's worth it?

He's saved my ass numerous times.. he's very worth it.

I found the sniper rifle this morning.. Warrick has it.. I think he was a merchant, since he was carrying so much.. but he was scared to death of me due to my alignment, so I couldn't get him to trade with me.

Killed him.. took the rifle. It is beyond awesome.

Any of you get to the <spoiler below in small font>







black and white sequence yet?



Trippy sh!t, for sure.

I don't see that as a spoiler.. you'll have your guard down when it happens anyways.

I guess you can have two human followers, if they're both of the same alignment (and therefore, obviously, your alignment also).

Gah.. awesomesauce.

I agree, the sniper rifle is great. Unfortunately, finding others to upgrade it with are pretty tough. I've resorted to using it only in the toughest situations because it's down to about 1/4 of its durability.

For items like that, I just get them fully repaired from someone like Moira... or someone in Rivet City. No identical items necessary.

Worth the caps.

I now have two human followers, and with the occasional "mysterious stranger" showing up, three "followers" besides myself. It is awesome.

What's fun right now is that I'm in the National Archives, so the woman in there is tagging along also.. four guns (five, when the perk is active) is awesome.

I gave one of them the Flamer.. he's destroying anything that gets near us with it.

Other one has a Chinese Assault rifle.. and I have that unique shotgun from that two-resident, "girl addicted to Nuka-Cola" town (you kill the male resident to get it.. keep in mind, my character's evil.. haha), sniper rifle.. or .44 Magnum with scope.. my babies.
