i can't get into the town without a radsuit, which i don't currently have

though i am progressing rather nicely as a pure evil dirty pirate hooker

fucking rofl, moira actually gives me one of those...

next playthrough I do (after I beat this one which is going to take me another month at this rate) I'm gonna do the sidequests first, THEN blow up Megaton

this time I saved it though, it just feels like...home. <3

Oh my mother fucking god.  Zimmer was right.  That was the worst ending ive ever had to go through.  Its just pathetic.  The problem is that the game actually fucking ends.  no matter what you do.  I hadnt even explored 5 percent of the actual city.  There is absolutely no depth.  This has changed my entire opinion on this goddamn game.  What the fuck were they thinking?

Well I've hardly started the main quest, have been doing the side missions first and the game is getting a bit weak. The combat is dire (just like it was in oblivion), tough fights involve running away, turning and taking a few shots or VATS them and then running away again It takes infinite ammo to kill anything even when you're capping them in the face at point blank with a shotgun.

Then you need more weapon skill

I can one shot any enemy except for maybe the Super Mutant Master, Super Mutant Behemoth and maybe the Deathclaw with a sniper rifle.

Sneak attack + headshot = one-shot.

And I don't use VATS for sniping, too low accuracy, I just aim myself, I mainly use VATS for up close headshots with the shotgun on charging enemies.

That's not really the problem. I don't mind taking 100 shots, missing 99 and hitting their head once. But when it hits I want them to die This would mean that at point blank range skill becomes inconsequential (as it should be). VATS is an awesome system fitting for an rpg game but it is indeed rendered useless by the ability to aim manually. I can get off 10 shots in the time that VATS could do 3 and I'm more likely to hit. 

The stupid oblivion style sneakcrit is another piece of AIDs bethesda have transferred across. It's a mechanic that makes sense if you're hitting someone with a sword but doesn't work with guns. Whether you're ready for it or not and regardless of my skill a bullet to the face should do good damage. If I played this game as a melee character with the chinese officer's sword this game would just be an oblivion mod.

Fuck I expected my hard drive to be here today but I guess UPS lied to me. I placed my order on Saturday and it said shipped on Sunday so I guessed they shipped it. Makes sense? it was a one day shipping but UPS says that it is going to come tomorrow, what a bunch of shit. Now I can't install the game until tomorrow

(I'm very impatient)

I Detonated Megaton, Went to Tenpenny Tower, Got 500 Caps, and Killed Ailstair Tenpenny, and got a Sniper Rifle

Then I did a lot more, and now:

Spoiler (highlight to read):
I Found dad, then went to Rivet City (To find Doc Li), then To The Project Purity (Jefferson Memorial)with many scientists from Rivet City, and then the Elcave comes and kills Dad! Now I've come with Doc Li to the Citadel, and The ppl there (4got what there called, the guys with the darth vader kind of suits) and they taught me how to use Power Armor! That's as far as I've got, because me mum told me i was playing too much, and told me to rake the leaves
