Spiritually speaking, anyone else play Fallout 3?

Beaten it yet? I just started my second game. I'm a dude this time through and I was going to be evil, but apparently it's not in me to harm fake video game people. What's the coolest easter-egg type thing you've found or a fun location? I just found Vault 106 and was genuinely creeped out because I thought it was haunted. Is it weird that I play video games, am a girl, and am neither a preteen nor am I ugly? I guess tell me your religion, to make it relevant. @Laveyan -- I really like Fable 2 too, but I *love* Fallout. I think it's the (general) realism. Fable is really good, and quite fun, but I think Fallout was so much more ambitous overall. @ Makenzie -- I'm like the opposite. I tend to start a new game in the middle of the old, and never finish any of them. lol. I still have to go back to Uncharted before the sequel comes out. Fallout is the first I've actually finished in a long time. @ Mr. Samsa - You might have to find Little Lamplight before you do anything of consequence in Big Town. I didn't find BT until someone from LL lead me there. Maybe you can do the mission (Big Trouble in Big Town) before then, I'm not exactly sure.

1. Im still stuck on Saints Row 2
2. About to get it. Born Again.
3. Have you seen the video game awards??? Fallout 3 was chosen for best RPG!!! that sucks to me because i like FABLE2 so much better!!
4. nope...haven't played video games for two years now...sigh...i do miss em. but theyre to time consuming...i used to spend up to and over 12 hours per day on them, really.
5. i play video games, too. I'm not a preteen and i hope i'm not ugly. So i dont think anything is weird about it. It's fun. I bought fallout 3, but i havent got the chance to play it yet. I'm playing a different game and i have this thing that i have to beat a game before i try a play a different one. protestant
6. This atheist plays Fallout 3, but I haven't progressed very far in the game, because I'm a busy guy (only Level 10). I just got stuck in this little crappy village, I think it's called Big Town, where everyone is standing around waiting for me to fix some robots in the junkyard, but I can't for the life of me find a single robot that they're talking about to fix. I'm planning on starting another game after I feel satisfied with this one where I'm going to try an evil character. We'll see if I can get over my conscience any better than you did to kill digital non-people. I don't think it's weird that you play video games. I'm a relatively successful lawyer, and I love my xbox. I think video games are just the next iteration of entertainment mediums, in the progression from books to radio to movies to tv, and in a decade or two it will be so common that most people will think it's weird if someone doesn't play video games at all. EDIT: Thanks for the tip, Chelz, I'll try looking around for Lamplight. I found Big Town by accident, because I was wandering the wasteland and stumbled upon the Germantown Police HQ, and as I was pilfering everything I could carry, a couple people asked me to save them. I think the best things in the game are the ones I find by accident, like the family of vampires living in Meresti station.
7. I started it but soon got bored with it. Same thing with Bioshock, Devil May cry and most games. What I do enjoy a lot is playing multiplayer games over the LAN--and no it is not strange that you like video games--people of all ages play those games. We play a lot of multiplayer Madden, Counter Strike, Pro Evolution Soccer, and Race Driver Grid.
8. Spiritually speaking I preferred Oblivion:GOTYE since it allows you to keep playing after you beat the main storyline, but the Fallout combat system was a blast. My favorite locale is the high rise apartment building run by the old guy with the sniper rifle.
9. Yeah i finished it a couple of weeks ago, it has a good story and it gives you tons of side stuff to do. My one gripe is that it does have a considerable amount of bugs :/ like when walker disappeared off the face of the earth, i was saving so much scrap metal for him ><.
10. it's on my list. I got it just to watch the trailer ;) preapocalyptic atheist
11. I bought the game and played it to lvl. 8, now I'm playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky. both are awesome, but stalker keeps me more involved I suppose, on a Spiritual Level.
12. I'm Catholic <<Beaten it yet?>> Completed It last weekend. Disappointed at how short the game was. THOUGHT I was doing a lot of side quests..but apparently not enough because I cruised thru the game WAAAYYY too quickly in my opinion. I'm a fan of the previous games..but felt this one was not TRUE to what makes Fallout great. More GORE then political satire and comedy. Where are the random encounters, References to Monty Pythons, Political commentary, references to pop culture and celebritities, etc. from Fallout2 ??? Where were the vehicles that you could use to move around, and most importantly store stuff in? I saw countless portable generators, fully intact motorcycles, and wrecked cars.. NO ONE ever put those pieces together to form a rudimentary vehicle?? -- That was lame. I didn't see as many useless Perks as previous games. Things like Kama Sutra Master, Jinxed, etc... things which gave your character flaws as well as Perks. <<Is it weird that I play video games, am a girl, and am neither a preteen nor am I ugly?>> Yes, a bit weird, especially for a bloody game like Fallout3. BRAVO! that's awesome that you game. Wish there were more. As a Catholic though... I DO struggle to justify such a harsh, adult game as the Fallout series. I guess because it is basically set in the future, and therefore less real... I can justify it in my mind. Compared to the Grand Theft Auto Series..which to me is to adult and to much like real life gangsters. -- So I feel more "dirty" and "seedy" for playing those games. Anyways.. Thanks for lighting up the R&S section with this off-topic posting. GAME ON!
