Picked up a new and sealed copy of Fallout 3 in Woolworths the other day.. £12.50

I bought this off Steam a couple of days ago after being tempted for a long time to get it but I has hesitated a lot. Oh my, what an awesome title. Oboibliboibin with guns baby!

I am leveling up too fast though because of that 'Swift Learner' perk, despite the fact that all I do is explore and do the odd quest. So far I hit Level 12 last night and I have yet to do the first step of my main mission, which is find galaxy radio station.

How do you get the swift learner perk? Ive been playing it for ages and i feel chronically underpowered and im only level 7 or 8.

Pickers · 02-01-2009, 13:24

I'm currently playing this through a second time as an EVIL charactor

. Its taken some getting used to as I always want to do nice things, but I cant allow that to happen this time!

Its great - I've found loads of places I never found the first play through - the capitol wasteland is HUGE!
Going for 100% this time too (in terms of achivement).

Upon leveling up the first screen you're given to input points into is your Skills screen. The next screen is the Perks screen and its somewhere in there. The perk adds 10% XP to your kills or something and has about 3 ranks. Downsides are that you level at a much quicker rate, which isn't a good thing as there are only 20 levels max apparently.

I just found out 10mins ago that the PC version has achievements, which can tie into your 360 account - if you sign in on the pc via games for windows, which I haven't done

Can you do that via Steam? Thought that had its own achievement system?

How much of a 'hardcore' RPG is Fallout 3?

For example, I tried Morrowind and it bored me nearly to suicide and when I tried KOTOR I nearly ate my own legs out of boredom.

Is this more of the same?

It does, and Valve games afaik have their own achievements linked to your Steam account. I thought PC Fallout used the Steam achievements system. However Windows for Live games like Fallout 2 can be linked to your 360 account via Games for Windows that is installed with PC Fallout

I use the 360 controller to play PC Fallout and when I hit the globe button, a GFW box appears asking me to sign into GFW or create a new account. I always ignored it thinking pc acheivements were separate from 360 ones....doh

I have a couple of GfW games myself, just didnt think the system worked via Steam. Figued they'd use the Steam system, good to know otherwise though
