Fallout: Get It While It's Hot (and free!) - Page 3

From what I read Lure was there first venture into that genre and it wasn't so great. The others (besides Teen Agent) are supposed to be much better.

I'm about 3 hours into FO, and many of the problems that Ten described almost turned me off to it. A simple, in game tutorial would have solved a lot of the problem. The learning curve of how to equip stuff, enter combat mode, talk to people is a huge turnoff, but once you get that, the pacing picks up...a little. It drives me nuts about how it takes forever to walk around in towns and such.

I know there are the purist groups out there (No Mutants Allowed is the big one) that hate on FO 3 and NV, but I totally prefer those. For two primary reasons, first, the pacing, and second, everything is real time. The turn based crap kills me.

I have got to make more time for RU... it really sucks that I missed this... specially since I could have sworn that I check RU every other day...

If you like FO a lot just buy the combo pack from Amazon. FO1 is a classic but 2 was better anyways.

I've never played it, which is why it sucks I couldn't get it free to see if it's the kind of game I'd like

I haven't downloaded it yet. I wonder if I could just give you my account info and let you download it instead. I own a copy so it wouldn't bother me. They might wonder why I signed up in Mass and downloaded in Mexico though, if I remember your location right. I'll send you a PM.

Alright, so I played for 10 minutes while I had lunch before I remembered I should study for a couple of exams. I still have to study but I'm very intrigued by the game since it seems like my kind of game, but I'm petrified of messing it up by wasting all my bullets of something like that. Any suggestions before I get really into the game?

If you're going to traverse the waste lands, make sure you plan out your journey. You don't want to double back if you don't have to.

The first fallout game has a time limit(unless this version includes the patch?) so don't sweat it too much, you probably won't beat it on your first try. Just get used to the combat and learn where towns/quests are. I suggest you make your character very intelligent, gives you more skill points at level up. If I remember right pistols are easy to find and keep ammo for. You could go for melee weapons to save money and time but then you have to get up close. You could keep a weapon for certain enemies like scorpions who close the distance anyways. It's been a while so that's all I can think of atm.

Still unsure if there is a patch for more or unlimited time, but I did do the quest that extends the amount of time to find the water chip for the vault.

**Dudebro** · 04-17-2012, 05:18 PM

I just looked it up and apparently there is no patch to remove the Water Chip time limit. In order to get more time you have to do what Jim said and buy more time from the water merchant at The Hub town(100 more days). The patch I was thinking of only removes the timer on a mutant attack on the home village, if I remember right.

Yay! Thanks! So I guess I'll take it a step at a time and I'll look for the proper commands for the keyboard to make a couple of things easier.
