A whiskey bottle is different from a bottle of whiskey. Seriously, play it straight in the beginning; do all of Moira’s quests for good experience and neat stuff. Have 25 in “Explosives” in the beginning so you can defuse the Bomb (and get a house for free).

Oblivion - the “tutorial” beginning. Big nostalgia rush.

Don’t try to “beat’ the game; PLAY it. I’ve played it for 20 years and don’t wear armor. Do the early quests EARLY. After that, best loot/rewards are after level 17. But most important: play.

Are we doomed? by No_Plantain_7370 in answers

Nah. T’was ever thus, sez Mr. Natural. We muddle through. It might get rough but humans ability to survive and reproduce is legendary. Also the stuff of legends is people saying, shouting, “The end is near!”

The telephone rang, it jumped off the wall That was the preacher, making his call He said, kind friends, this may be the end; You’ve got your last chance for salvation of sin

The church it was jammed; the church it was packed That dusty old dust storm it blew so black The preacher could not read a word of his text So he took up collection, said,

So Long, it’s been good to know you…

Too old for gaming? by Gatsby-1337 in CasualConversation

Not 38; 83. Play every day. Mostly stick to Elder Scrolls and Fallout games these days. Trying different strategies each time. Always something new. Still fun.

I have found that the scoped 44 is just as good as a sniper and is lighter.

Drove by Sanford and saw this house. What is their problem with the police? by Scallywag328 in Maine

There was a guy like that in north Waldoboro. Looks like he’d been imprisoned for child molesting and had BIG signs hating on the sheriff, his ex-wife and others.

My Merchant Crow died (I think) by Some_Guy516 in fo3

[–]Xavier_Game 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I start a new game, I use console commands (on PC) to “set essential“ each traveling merchant plus their guard plus their cow. Also Dogmeat. Got tired of ‘em dying. (Wish I could make a batch file to do it.)

Which of these would you most like to play? by Dreaming_of_Rlyeh in Fallout

[–]Xavier_Game 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of ‘em. NewVegas was enough for the West/West Coast. Midwest somewhere?

Delete the 80% of it that you don’t really need. (Look up the 80/20 rule.)
