Last Ray of Hope

For a while now I’ve been playing through Fallout 3, jumping between the main storyline and sidequests every so often. When I first started playing, I didn’t enjoy it, the game was slow for progression, and not too well explained on how things work – one example of this is moving objects, I completely forgot that I could move objects with the right analogue stick.

But as the game progressed, things got interesting, missions started to be worth the effort put in, and money was no longer a problem, and once I finally reached Rivet City, neither was ammo. Combine that with Fort Independence for turning in Power Armor and Plasma/Laser rifles for 556mm ammo, and I was practically invincible.

This was all ruined when finally I reached the final mission, I had Liberty Prime on my side, and I was on my way to take back the Water Purifier, but Liberty Prime did all the work, and any mutants that were left over were killed by Fawkes and his Laser Gatling Gun. Not even one Super Mutant Behemoth.

I wish there was a way to change perks and stats again, later in the game after getting an understanding of how the system works, I realised a lot of the choices I made at the beginning were the wrong ones since they were badly explained what they do. I could play it through again and choose perks and skills more wisely, rather than waiting them on things that would be useless later on.

There is hope on the horizon though, apparently Broken Steel, the next DLC, will not only raise the level cap, but change the awful ending. I will probably just wait til then and continue, or maybe restart my character and make different choices.
