The Guildmasters

Wow, one of the best games i’ve ever played, this game is awesome, i’ve just finished all that I can, meaning the basic game not the one with all the extras, it’s the only thing that stopped me buying it, i’ll wait until I can get the version with all the extra quests.

I did finally manage to get all the trophies for this game and as soon as I get the chance i’ll sync it with the playstation server for all to see.

Ok review time, there isn’t much else they could have done with this game which would have made it better, it really was that good.  The main quest again could be completed fairly quickly but with the amount of side quests and some very hard to find quest items and bobbleheads it made for many many more extra hours of game play.

There seemed to be traces of so many other good games in this one, in some cases it was very much like Morrowind and Oblivion with guns yet it was nothing like those two games, when one of my boys first saw Fawkes he said “cool, a better version of Nemesis” I thought that wasn’t a bad description really, Fawkes was pretty cool.

I have to admit there were two bobbleheads  I would never have found on my own, one in particular I ended up having to look for the location online, even after finding it I knew I would have never found it on my own, a place called Rocopolis  ( or similar ).

The quests in this game aren’t boring either, there always seems to be something new wherever you go, dialogue can play an important part but it’s not a have to, you can be very good and get rewarded for your goodness or you can be downright evil, or of course you can be a bit of both, it works on a good, neutral or bad karma rating.

I think the thing that is really going to draw the playtime out for you is if your like me and decide to go for every trophy in the game, I would say hunting all the trophies gave me an extra 20 hours of playtime at least,  I really enjoyed going away from the main quest to explore, the fact that you could get certain beings to hang around with you was cool, I used my extra buddies to carry an awesome amount of stuff when I would have had to go back to my house if i’d have been alone, and a dog too, how cool was that? Get your own dog who can hunt down meds or ammo for you, my next dog I get i’m going to call him “Dogmeat”.

Overall rating i’m giving 10 out  of 10, it was so enjoyable to play this game, I can’t wait to pick up the game of the year edition with the extra quests.

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.
