Forum:End game.

with 129 hours logged and a stong sense of pride, i felt i should write something about one of the greatest pieces of entertainment made so far.

when i started fallout 3, i tried to make a well-rounded character and became extreme frustrated after 5 hours of getting killed by mole rats. i started over, i decided to go with energy weapons and small guns, boost my intelligence. i became attached to my character, the dialogue choices, giving the homeless guy outside of rivet city a bottle of water. i am a messiah now. i didn't save the hobo outside of megaton, those damn church freaks killed him or something. i went to the church and took care of it immediately, but now i receive notes on my house in megaton. it makes me think their ghosts are posting pamphlets on my front door, which i realize is ridiculous. i love this game so much.

my most vivid memory...

back before i got the extensions, i hit level 20 and did all the missions, got on here and looked up side quests, one of my last ones was transporting the slaves to the lincoln memorial. i had dogmeat with me, i have given him many stimpaks to keep him by my side once i found him in the scrapyard. i was escorting the slaves to the lincoln memorial (which is one of my favorite missions in any video game), and a deathclaw sneaked up on dogmeat. i had just found the alien blaster a few hours before, and had used once or twice to see what it was like. my last save was at least 2 or 3 hours back. i was done with all the other missions and had just been exploring, which i had never done before in a videogame. i saw the deathclaw running toward dogmeat and saved quickly, i panicked because i knew it would be a lot of work to reload the last save. i remembered my newly aquired blaster and fired twice in vats, killing the deathclaw in one shot as his arms swung toward my dog. had i been a second later, dogmeat would've died.

i love this game. the extensions, the story, it's genius. i felt i needed to honor that. new vegas will be amazing i'm sure, but nothing will make me forget my experience with Fallout 3.
