Forum:Roughing it

<had an idea today. basically you take a character you maxed out or that is really good, find a follwer, kill him on one corner of the map, put everything you have on that character on the dead follower and travel across the wasteland and see if you live. get from one corner to the other then back, take your stuff back and start on the other corner. make sure you; when leaving your stuff in your dead follower; that your dead followers not in a re-spawn zone because then you will lose you stuff. this is to challenge your true character. tell me how you do. i did this because i was bored in my game waiting for October to come so that i can get the GOTY version of fallout 3 >

Why would you want to kill the follower? I have trekked across every corner of the wasteland without having to kill my follower. Big McLargeHuge

I am going to do this, but to a greater extreme. I'm creating a neutral character that has no permanent home, doesn't do any main quests, and doesn't use stimpaks (or at least just a few under certain circumstances). To regain health, he will hunt for his food with small guns, traveling up and down the Potomac River to find Mirlurk meat and across the amber waves of irradiated grain to find Dog, Guai, and Brahmin meat. To make a living, I am going to invest completely in the Merchant Caravaners and travel with them, protecting them, all whilst discovering new locations. I will do this until I reach Level 30, when I will finally unleash my True Mortal to conquer every location and quest in the Wasteland. Butcher Pete 01:07, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

I decided earlier today to stop using fast travel with a level 13 character; I escorted Sticky to Bigtown, then rescued dad and escorted him to Rivet City. It's kind of fun, but you get overburdened quickly. The highlights were Sticky picking up a flamethrower from a dead raider, and dad picking up a tri-beam laser rifle from an overlord that I disarmed and scared off outside of the Citadel. They both suddenly became uncharacteristically badass. I'm not really looking forward to being kidnapped and taken to Ravenrock, because you come out of there ludicrously overburdened, and its all the way to hell and gone, but still.
