Forum:Fallout 1 - At a halt in the game, only level 8

I am at an awkward position in the game. I made a melee character and have been going pretty good up until this point. Currently lvl 8 and undefinedI have recovered the water chip, several quests for random towns til to my level.

now i haven't been going at a slow pace either. by the time i recovered the chip, done quests, explored it was still in the middle of the year. the overseer warned me about a mutant invasion and by the time i knew it they had invaded everywhere, including the BoS base so i couldn't even join them after i went through the effort of exploring the glow

so i went back to vault 13, talked to the overseer (no help) and yeah, basically nothing. only lvl 8, only got metal armor and mutant turning up in heaps of random encounters so can't even play normally.

now this is where i am really stuck. i purposely get myself caught at the hub and get arrested, resist telling the whereabouts of vault 13 and get stuck in the cell. my sneak is poor and so is lockpick, but by some miracle i still got out. even then i can't get past the guard outside my door who either takes me his the leader where i am killed, or be killed resisting.

but out of all that, i am only level 8 and i can't even continue? everyone in every town is dead!? wtf is with that? even if i somehow manage to destroy the base wtf do i do with all this loot and at only level 8, possibly 9 after it? did i play this wrong???

so confused

tl;dr - level 8, found chipped, everywhere invaded by mutants (including BoS no no power armour), everyone in every town dead. wtf


 * Sounds like you've hit the Master-on-the-march limit. The world doesn't sit still in Fo1.  Suprised though you've only played to level 8 at this point though.  My suggestion would be to restart Agent c 15:44, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
