Free Falling
Like I said in the comments on my previous post, Fallout 3 is a lot less frustrating when you can actually find Megaton. I’d like to thank the internet for helping me with that, since the game sure damn didn’t want to. Thanks, internet!
I did finish the ants in the subway quest — did it with almost no ammunition, in fact, since I hadn’t found Megaton yet — and so I was optimistic that the worst was behind me. But then I started work on this Wasteland Survival Guide quest. Fine for the most part, but then I get to the step where she sends me to fight rats. I will not tell you where she sends me to fight rats. You know why? Because you goddamn already know, is why. Have you played a video game? Then you know where I was sent to fight rats.
The game’s starting to get to me with its sameness. I hope something happens soon to shake things up, since right now, no matter what mission I’m doing, it seems pretty much the same: I go to some dingy brown-and-grey cave and fight raiders, rats, ghouls, and super mutants. It’s really long and windy and twisty and the map isn’t good for a goddamn thing. Eventually I find the Noble Spittoon or whatever that I was sent to retrieve, and then I go home. Maybe I’m just in a rut.
You know what I don’t like? Not only is ammunition limited, but your gear all wears out over time and needs to be repaired. That’s a whole lot of bookkeeping that I need to do just a shoot a zombie in the head.
