Description
This was what I was like when playing Fallout 3 for the first time. Once you leave Vault 101 you're just like "What the fuck?"But a quality game once you know what you're doing

SPOILER
Yeah, had the same feeling when I was kicked out of Vault 101 forever. I was like... my father is dead, my oldest friend kicked me out, never to return, all I knew from my childhood is gone... what now?

I know that feeling. I vividly remember that feeling when I first stepped out of the vault and before me stood this immense wasteland, the scenery was awe-inspiring. Then I had to survive the wasteland trying to keep up my caps, ammo, and stimpaks, when the game kept throwing enemies my way. A really memorable game.

hahahahaha yes this is the perfect way to describe the first time I played it. Except mine was an excited "SO MUCH ROOM FOR ACTIVITIES!@!@!$" reaction. I actually loved the way it introduced the wasteland to you. The way it was overly bright until your eyes got used to it, and there was that almost sad music in the background. It was actually amazing.
I was too young to play the other fallouts first so fallout 3 was my first fallout (but i went back and played the others afterwards.) The first thing i did in the wasteland was wander around and kill the few random dogs that attacked you. I did that until i eventually got to the Springvale and noticed the map marker. I also remember that i was really worried about the radiation being around and thought that just the regular air would kill me slowly unless i got in a protective suit. So when I saw that my skin was like yellow, i freaked the fuck out and wouldn't go outside of megaton for very long periods of time. Not sure why i thought it would help staying in Megaton haha. I also remember i was deathly afraid of any irradiated places, like if i walked in water and it started to give me radiation, i would literally freak out and run out of it as soon as possible.
Ahhh memories. Easily the best game saga around.

when I first left the vault I got lost and when to a lair of super monsters and was stalking me to the death and so I died

My boyfriend has this game, and he let me start my own save because it's his favourite game ^^
At first I panicked all over the place, and when I had to save Butch's mum I didn't know how to work VATS so I was just sat there like 'WHAT IS HAND EYE COORDINATION DERP' but he eventually taught me how to use it
Also when I got out of the Vault there was a weird glitch where you could see Amata running about outside, but then she ran through the metal door and became unconscious. O_O

How strange!
I have to admit, I let Butch's mum die in the same way. I was running around like an idiot while she was being eaten by Radroaches. Radroaches for goodness' sake!

Haha, then you go outside and it's like 'AHHH GOD WHAT IS THAT THING'

This is exactly why I like Bethesdas games: awesome large world (despite of the bugs)

when i got out of the vault and saw that huge landscape i thought, "freedom!!" and "i wonder what all is out here?" the map seemed to be endless.

Haha! So true. The more I played it though, I think that we were supposed to feel that way as part of the narrative.

I got my ass so lost just trying to get out of the stupid vault. And Butch's mom died because I sucked at shooting. I ended up stumbling into the Overseer and had to kill him.
But now I'm obsessed with it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I ended up letting her die too as I was running around like a noob screwing up the VATs system. I think I just ended up shooting Butch as well to let him be with his Mom again.
I restarted about 3 hours into the game and did everything properly :s

I remember feeling like that when I first got Fallout. Felt the same with Oblivion, even some old-school RPGs that give you so many options and such a huge world to start with, you don't know where to go!

I thought the same thing. Then I turned around and tried to get back into the vault

Actually if you snoop around a bit when you hack the Overseer's terminal you find out about Megaton and you do have a mission when you leave the vault, find your father. I like wandering around aimlessly seeing what i can get into, ignoring the main storyline and doing the side missions.

Don't get me wrong, I do love it just exploring the Capital Wasteland, but that initial feeling of coming out of the Vault into this huuuge world was amazingly overwhelming. It's like being born again (for the second time in the game)and opening your eyes for the first time and realising you're a very small part in this world.

I used to do the same thing to my players when I would run a game(D&D, Vampires, Marvel). I would give them just enough information to either go the right way or hang themselves when the time came around. I also wouldn't tell them what they should write down to remember later either and I rarely gave them a map.

I bet you must be an evil bastard on stuff like Fable and Fallout then
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I usually have 2 or 3 saves good and evil and sometimes a neutral, that way I have a game for my mood. I always went Dark Side in KOTOR 1/2 though, they had cooler abilities.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
that is a major diffrence from fallout 3 and 1 as in first game you had that constant feel of "must find the water chip"
i guess tis kinda typical for behesta of being so vage in sett the goals for the player, same happen in oblivion as one got out of the jail one just ran out and did everything exept the thing you were asked to do.

Agreed - There wasn't a whole lot of incentive to follow the main path for me as I found the side missions much more entertaining. Especially on the Point Lookout DLC (even if it was a buggy mess).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes i have to look into point lookout and broken steel, strange these games got away with being so buggy while other games gets chew on big time by gaming communety.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe, although something as massive as Fallout can get away with it as it would take weeks and months of delays to iron out every glitch just due to the nature of the game's scale. Whereas say Call of Duty is played in shorter bursts (eg 10 minute matches on multiplayer) on much smaller maps and played by millions more people. I can see why it's one rule for one game when it's one rule for another in some cases like this.

perhaps, but also the game id have some really big gamebrakers in comparison to red dead, as most notorius was when every new dlc added the game would be go back to tis first state of instabilety in some way or another, the pitt was a neat world but proly the most unstable of em all >_>
it tock me a long time to get true it because it crashed on such regular basis and some i had to disable leave during load screens (enter doors) because it it would if i reloaded crash instantly.
i still have new vegas and should test it as they have aperently realsied the patches now.

I kinda liked the bugs in New Vegas. I have the "Wild Wasteland" perk which enables weird encounters with NPCs so rotating heads and floating characters didn't look quite so out of place.

those odd events one can choose to actiate is as crazy as old fallout games?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It mostly activates hidden stuff and easter eggs. And extra weapons too like a Holy Hand Grenade and Alien Blaster.
But there's stuff like gangs of old ladies who mug you and that sort of thing
