I ordered the GOTY edition off Amazon a few days ago, I should get it by tomorrow. Anyway, does anyone want to give me some advice? This is the first time I've even tried Fallout, and to be honest, the immense scale of the game seems daunting.

fallout 3 is anything but immense.

Any knowledge where I can find the key to the cell door in Vault-Tec Headquarters?? Fallout wiki didn't help me on this one

If you know, PM me since I most likely forget to come for answers

Never had a problem. I think the game crashed once in the 50 hours I've played.

I started playing this yesterday, it is.....different. It is going to take some getting used to.

Afer about four or five hours playing time, I've only completed one part of The Waseland survival guide and I have only arrived at Rivet City. This game is fucking massive. Combat is different to what I'm used to. The Raiders I've enountered seem like fucking super humans: 2 shots to the heat in VATS won't kill some of them, ffs. Still the game is fucking

During the Vault sequences, I belived (in my epic stupidness) that you could convince Amata (spelling?) to come with you somehow, which I tried to do. Sometimes, it's pretty annoying to travel all the way across the huge map just to discover places, and then you can fast travel.

People have complained that the PS3 GOTY edition is unplayble due to the bugs and the crash to XMBs (what I like to call CTX), but I haven't enountered any yet .

Anyway, it's so far.

You can't convince Amata to leave with you.

Oh and improve your small gun skills, it adds damage and accuracy to guns.

Fallout 3 isn't really Massive, It's a lot of empty space and very little to do.

Check out Oblivion, it has a far larger campaign and a lot less walking.

Wrong.

Pitt is epic.

Broken Steel gets the "well now those experience points are actually counting again" award

Oblivion has much more cave diving, but eventually they all feel the same, just different enemy factions guarding the loot (which is typically inferior to your own weapons by the end).

Most of Oblivion's world felt wasted though, very little actually took place outside, Fallout 3 felt less sterile.

That said, both games are great, either goty edition would be a solid investment.

even regardless of copy-paste caverns, the game had far more quests, far more weapon variation, and just far more to do in general.

While I had done every quest and a lot of exploration in 30 hours of fallout 3, I have over 100 hours of oblivion and am not even close.

I loved the ability to customize my weapon and armor enchantments, fallout 3 lacked that ability, your gear never truly feels like it's unique.

Custom spells was too, 100% chameleon for 30 seconds ftw

I'll see your Oblivion and raise you Morrowind. Bethesda's games feel shallower with each one they release since Morrowind. Sure they may improve something each time, but they lose a lot of of depth in the process.

this is true.

I did however very much like how they got rid of the random chance. Oblivion's combat was far superior to Morrowind's.
