I discovered a new hobby while playing Fallout 3 last night. I call it “shooting giant ants in the antennae, sending them into a frenzy, and sitting back and watch them spit fire on each other.” It’s a lot of fun, and if you find yourself in Grayditch sometime, you should definitely try it.
Also, if you see that scientist, tell him his stupid lab coat is worthless.
The Grayditch was the hardest side quest for me, I had to quit and come back after I was a higher level because those damn fire ants would put a serious hurting on me.
Yeah, they killed me a whole bunch, I pretty much just got lucky the last time. It was really frustrating.
I used a simple formula for that side quest:
keeping your distance +chinese assault rifle + bullets in face = millions of dead fire ants
It worked a treat for me – the fire ants are much easier to deal with if you kill them from just outside the range of their fire.
Is anyone else having problems with Fallout 3 freezing up? My copy does it, but only in certain places on the map, which sucks because I really wanted to get all 1000G for that game
I haven’t had any freezing issues. Did you save the game to your HDD? I don’t think I’ll ever get 1000g in the game; you already have the one achievement I don’t have the patience to get – hack 50 terminals – and for that I salute you.
Yeah hacking terminals blows. It’s so hit and miss.
I also managed to get the achievement for killing 300 people before I finished the main game (without having to load a save file, go berserk until I got the cheevo, then revert to my previous save). Yet again, that game swallowed my life – I have literally put around 100 hours in so far.
I need more hobbies!
100 hours? Christ. I’ve put in just over 20 now, and the game is finally starting to make sense for me.
I’m sure you guys know this, but when you hack terminals, you can select symbols like open and closed brackets (), {}, [] etc., and every time it will either take away a wrong answer or give you back a try.
I pretty much don’t even mess with terminals unless I absolutely have to, though.
