Fallout 3 thoughts

I know I'm about 6 months behind the rest of you with my Fallout 3 impressions, but here are some thoughts that have been running through my head.

Moira has big eyes.... and a lady stache that I can't take my eyes off whenver I talk to her.

Can't they program it so that people don't ask you if you have completed their quest when you haven't even left the room yet?

I wonder if Lucas had any missions for me? The person who wanted me to blow up Megaton killed him just before I hit the trigger and took him out.

Supermutants with Miniguns are bad for your health.

Ditto for people with missile launchers.

What's up with the Jefferson Memorial? There are two doors that are almost on the same wall... but they face each other in the adjoining area (the rotunda). How did that spatial misnomer not get picked up in testing?

The Bloody Mess Perk is actually kind of annoying... in gunfights with multiple enemies, I have to figure out which body parts still need to be searched.

Yay, I've purchased plans to the Rock-It Launcher! Now I just need parts to build it...

Attacking someone in a settled area is a bad idea.

I'm reluctant to kill anyone who isn't already hostile to me. So far I've decided against killing Greta (I think that was her name) and I paid Dukov for his key rather than take it by force. I'm scared I'm going to miss something if I kill people.

After several failed attempts, I think I finally get lockpicking. A tutorial with a pin you couldn't break would have been good.

What happens to terminals if I fail to get the password in 4 tries? Are they available elsewhere in the gameworld?

I'm about 15 hours in. And I have still explored bugger all. I've headed across to GNR, and I've made my way south to the Jeffersons Memorial. I'd be lucky to have explored 25% of the World Map at this stage.

The shotgun is awesome against mutants.

What was so special about the Glowing One?

I think I worry too much about health and radiation. I keep eating irradiated food whenever I'm low on health, so I have over 30 stimpaks.

I listened to the Enclave Radio station for about 8 hours before I changed it to Galaxy. Malcolm McDowell's voice is awesome.

Other voice acting so far is.... adequate. Most of the voices seem just a bit too stereotyped or exaggerated.

I wonder if once I'm completely leveled up, whether I can take out all the citizens in a settled area? I'll make sure I save my game before I try that of course...

It seems that Q got the jump on me regarding my Sequel Me This series on Pixeljunk Monsters. A Gamespot article a couple of days ago showed a PSP version, where it showed enemies flying in on balloons. Crazy prediction or what? Though I'm guessing seeing as nothing was said that the new content won't make it's way to the PS3 any time soon.
