Yes after all this time i’m still playing fallout 3 , i’ve got about half the trophies ( ps3 ) and i’m still having fun, the reason I decided to write a post is last night was the first time in ages a game made me jump, no i’m not a scaredy cat, it actually takes a lot to surprise me but I was looking for the white house, as you would in a game like this because you just know there is going to be stuff worth finding in the white house, a bobblehead maybe, obama’s skeleton with a pack of ciggy’s in his pocket, you know the type of thing.
Anyway i’ve killed all the enemies in the area and it’s pretty quiet, it’s also late at night in the real world and i’m tired which is probably why it was easier to make me jump, ( it was 2am ) anyway, I here this noise and go to investigate, as I get closer I realize it’s a baby crying , wierd I thought, i’ve not come across a single baby in this game apart from when I killed my mum, when I was born, that was probably not really my fault as the radiation in the food my mum ate probably effected me adversely in some way and gave me a huge head which in turn ruptured something on my way out which in turn killed my mum so don’t hold that against me ok?
And what’s with that? the first thing I see coming into the world is a huge bright light and someone talking to me with no mouth and nose ( my dad’s face covered with a surgical mask, come on do I have to explain everything? ), it’s enough to start anyone out on the “bad karma” road, so anyway I round this corner and sure enough there is a baby carriage with a baby in it crying, I go investigate, thinking i’m going to pick this baby up and it’s going to be some kind of quest where I have to find it’s mother and “wham!” it explodes in my face, wow, now i’m awake, better check my stats and my heads nearly gone so have to use most of my stinpacks and now the explosion brings a couple of super mutants to see yours truly and try to decapitate me.
All I can say is you guys at Bethesda are definitely original, oh yeah and sick too, I love this game and i’m looking forward to many more games being created using this engine, thanks for the fright you animals.
Anyway keep an eye out for my review which i’ll be writing soon.
