I'm pretty sure you can [spoiler]rescue the children from paradise falls[/spoiler] without killing anyone. [spoiler]you just have to be somewhat sneaky/ a liar to get in and get the collars turned off etc.[/spoiler]

Sure, but why wouldn't you kill them?  I mean by that point all I had to do was walk into the middle of their little ambush instance and wave.

Wait, you need to [spoiler]rescue the kids from there[/spoiler] on the main quest? I suppose it's to get into [spoiler]Little Lamplight[/spoiler]... That'd make sense because I just [spoiler]talked my way into the place[/spoiler].

[spoiler]If you have "Child At Heart", you can talk your way into Little Lamplight without going to Paradise Falls. You can also just buy the kids in Paradise Falls and let 'em free outside the gate, but I don't know if there's a skill or perk prerequisite for that.[/spoiler]

The inability to murder children in this game is compounded pretty badly when [spoiler]Your main story mode quest tags for Little Lamplight/Vault 87 break and you end up talking to every kid at least five times over the course of a boring fucking hour and eventually the Mayor just calls you a mutant-sucker and Princess will only cry and pout at you and the terminal has NO POWER and the Pulley Lever WON'T WORK GO GET SOME PLOT POINTS MUNGO FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF UNHOLSTERING MISSILE LAUNCHER AND SHOOTING AT THE KIDS ANYWAY TO ALLEVIATE THE RAGE[/spoiler]

Long story short, PC version superior because no-clip console command saves 20 hours of exploring everything in the world!

Its like the fucking kids KNOW THEY ARE INVINCIBLE and can act like giant shits without fear of being punched into a thick sauce.

Cready's gun is entirely for show, even if he is immune to a 140 damage missile to the face.

All right, I've been holding this one in for a long time, but...

Am I the only one who thought Knock-Knock was supposed to be a 10-year-old prostitute until like halfway through her conversation tree?

I picked up that she was some sort of wacky police officer who disarmed people with jokes as soon as she mentioned morale.

You're a schmott guy, Brent.

The Wastelands have changed you since you've left Vault WFE. I think it'd be for the best if you left... forever.

Ok so I beat it.

[spoiler]Considering that I went through the game as a paragon of goodness, I kind of didn't care about Lyons at all. It was just another opportunity to showcase how fucking nice I was.

With Fawkes the super mutant standing there! For Fuck's Sake.

I am pretty "meh" about the ending. If anything, I'm the most pissed that the last boss is Colonel Unique Voice Actor. You guys could've ripped off Fallout 1 entirely, it would've been neat to see that model in 3D! Something! Anything! Not another VATs 4-shot unique plasma rifle head shot! Did they honestly implement the entire Liberty Prime sequence without considering that the player might like to shoot an Ultra Behemoth or something? Cool cinema, bro!

Seriously the lack of final boss monster is like a grave sin against Dooms. I activated Liberty Prime with 50 Bottlecap Mines, Missile Launcher, a Flamethrower, a Minigun, Unique Plasma Rifle, Chinese Assault Rifle, 10 Plasma Grenades, 30 Frag Grenades, 10 Plasma Mines, fully repaired Shishekabab, fully repaired Tesla Armor/Helmet, 8 Nuka-Grenades and 50 shots on the Alien Blaster. I was going to end the Enclave soldier-by-soldier.

But after our walk in the park... yeah walking into the chamber and seeing the "super deadly" 8 radiation per second tic was pretty underwhelming. Hey, I have an Advanced Radiation Suit in Megaton, I could go get that, guys!

What's up with the lack of "Because you did X, X happened!" I wasn't the nicest cocksucker in the world to not see how I touched the lives of everybody in the Wastes, Bethesda! Maybe I accidentally breathed on my mouse and skipped over it? "Well, you didn't use the FEV virus and you sacrificed yourself." YES I WAS THERE FIVE MINUTES AGO.[/spoiler]

I've already mentioned that Fallout 3 was basically some sort of divine, heaven-sent survivalist gift from God where my first ten levels are spent hectically poring over every abandoned pile of rubble I see to cobble together the base materials, bullets and nuka-colas I need to live. I racked up 80 hours in two weeks. It is easily Doom's 2008 Game of the Year. Throw money at Bethesda, they can kidnap any fucking IP or license they want and use their delightful Oblivion map engine on it.

I think I'll either muster up the moxie to move on to Mass Effect or STALKER next... or start a FAQ-in-hand comb-over of the game with some other interesting new combat character. Small Arms/Explosives/Sneak on Pure Evil, maybe. Drop difficulty to normal, just have a grand old time and prep a character or two or three for the Steel DLC in March.

[spoiler]Having gone straight off Oblivion to F3, and remembering that the previous game ended up with you curb-stomping some crazy Wood Elf and then essentially ignoring the massive god of war to death, I was sort of expecting that sort of anticlimax.  I was disappointed that they failed to not disappoint.[/spoiler]

So after combing over the FAQs it turns out that my exhaustive tour of the landscape on my Energy Weapons Hero Gal did damn near every quest and point of interest in the game...

See you in March, Fallout 3!

Playstation needs to die for not being able to get the expansion. Whatever, the Fed tax return is going to pay for my new Xbox 360. The tale of Jingles McFrenzy will live on! "Oh Jingles was dumb as a rail, he'd have a crit. fail, but don't let him sneak up on you and punch in the face and shoot mini nukes at your blown up remains!" ...Sorry that last part didn't rhyme well.
