tenel_ka | Straight from the Wasteland!

I realized the other day that it's technically been a year since I started to play Fallout 3 and I'm still not finished with it. But you know, this is a testament to how awesome the game actually is. With a lot of games that are super-sprawling and long, I tend to play them a little bit and over the course of time I just sort of drop them (or send them back to Gamefly, if I got them from there). But as you can see with Fallout 3, I have been coming back to it for a year now. I've dropped about 80 hours into my current playthrough and I still have these quests to play:

-- all the quests in the DLC "Mothership Zeta"
-- all the quests in the DLC "Broken Steel"
-- all the quests in the DLC "Lookout Point"
-- Strictly Business (waiting to do that one till I'm playing an evil character)
-- Picking Up the Trail
-- Rescue From Paradise
-- Finding the Garden of Eden
-- The American Dream
-- Take it Back!

So I'm almost done with the main storyline. Once I finish those quests and then the rest of the DLC, then I will start all over again and play a total asshole. That's another thing. Usually on games where I can be a good guy or a bad guy, I finish as a good guy (if I like the game enough to finish) and then I'm set. I don't really need to go back and play as a bad guy (or I'll end up starting a "bad" game and then never finishing it). But in this one I want to go back and play as a bad guy. There are assholes in this game who deserve a good punch in the teeth but right now I am TEH SAVIOR OF TEH WASTELANDZ so I have to paste on a smile and play along with them.

Also, like I had mentioned on Twits R' Us (err, Twitter) the other day this game actually gave me a super serial MORAL QUANDARY on Sunday. Usually when there is a choice in a game (good or bad choice, karma affecting choice, etc.), I will know what I'm picking in a heartbeat. Whether it's "good" or "bad" or how I've been playing my character... it's just that I know that's what right away what I'm gonna have my character do. It's always a split second decision and I'm done and move on.

Yesterday my Lone Wanderer (Scott, named after Scott Landon, duh lol) stood beside a baby crib and stared at a little baby (the "cure" I was sent into Haven to steal -- nobody bothered to tell me it was a baby) in ~~Pittsburgh~~ The Pitt for at least ten minutes. I have never had this happen in one of these games DAMN YOU BETHESDAAAAAA~ XDDDD

For anyone who has played The Pitt DLC... I didn't take Marie from the crib for Wernher. I couldn't. Once I met Ashur and Sandra (who Wernher had been bitch-mouthing) and found out that they were working on a cure for everyone in the city (including the slaves, raiders, etc.) -- plus, they weren't being pushy dicks like Wernher, I helped them. I left Haven without the baby and went to Midea to find out where Wernher was hiding (running through the raider/slave fights was pretty awesome looking, 'cept for the stray bullets, heh). I was going to try to go in and SPEECH Wernher about leaving, but the asshat starting shooting me right as I walked into his hideout. So I blew his head off with a gauss rifle. Seriously, they're working on a cure just like you are Wernher, plus Marie's their baby and they aren't being pushy, creepy dicks like you. I'm not giving you a stolen baby. Especially if the baby's parents are making a cure for everyone in The Pitt. :|

(In the next play through I will though! But not because I like you, Wernher. But because I like Adan.)

Ngggh, I can't wait to go through this game and be a mean, mean bitch. I will shatter everyone's dreams. AND FACES. HIDE NOW, CAPITAL WASTELAND.

(LOLOLOLOLOL, also, the Auto Axe called The Man Opener? I laughed so hard when I got that. <3)
